President’s Report

1.     A seasonal gate card was temporarily given to “A Advanced Septic” in lieu of $470 of work done on the septic field at the park.

2.     A solicitor is required to have a permit to do home solicitation and should be asked by members if they have one, as we can’t prohibit the act and that this would be a great article for the newsletter.

3.     There is now a Notice of Default on the home on 181^st and Driftwood Drive and the bank would be contacted in regards to the overall appearance. 

4.     The old DPA sign will be installed at the park.

5.     There will be a “for your consideration” letter sent to home on 179^th.

Volunteer/Neighbor of the Month: N/A.

3.     Delinquencies are down to 17; of which 10 are in collections

4.     Rod & Gun club members may have small title issues.

a.      The Fence was removed today, and posts should be set tomorrow and the project finished by Friday (15^th).

b.     Mike and the attendants refinished the old front sign and will place it at the park, facing outwards.

c.     Geese-the grass is being sprayed and this seems to be working
