The
board is writing off $6,346.29 due for the most part to chapter 7
filings.
Other than the
normal ECC actions the question of why a P.O. Is not allowed to have
two piers for pontoon control in windy and wavy areas and a seawall.
A seawall causes erosion as well as increased lake turbidity and will
not be allowed. The question of double piers was sent to lake
Management and Public Safety for consideration. Both commissions sent
it back to ECC with the recommendation it be considered on a case by
case basis taking into account extenuating circumstances in the
decisions.
Lake management
reported the Alum treatment is finished and went according to plan.
The preliminary work for the grant is continuing and volunteers and
meeting attendance is needed in order to have the volunteer hours
necessary to offset a lot of our contribution cost for the grant. It
was also recommended we purchase another strobe light to keep geese
away from the 600 new plantings in Firefly Bay. The geese are eating
the plants. At a cost of about $450.00 the board voted to buy the
necessary equipment.
Then Rec
Commission is following through checking locations for the dog park
if it comes to fruition. Bocci Ball courts are in progress,
lifeguards are being instructed to strictly enforce the new rules so
all can enjoy the pool, swimming lessons will start in July, lap
swimming will be permitted Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7 to 8,
and a new projecter is needed to show movies. The cost of the
projecter is about $1,300. The board voted to make the purchase.
The Golf
Commission reported the course will be opening at 7 on weekends and
holidays and stay with the normal opening time of 8 during the week
starting June 29th.
Public Safety
reported the portable speed humps have been ordered to aid in speed
control of vehicles in Candlewick.
A survey of
Savannah Oaks Gold Course was completed and the result was very good.
Our course in in excellent shape this year compared with most in the
area.
The next
Cledonia Road clean-up is scheduled for June 29th at 9
a.m. As always any help is appreciated. We meet at the west gate to
start the clean-up.
Our next Town
Hall meeting is scheduled for July 25th (a Saturday) for
the board to hear property owner input. It will be at the rec
center.
This year's
budget included replacement of a skid-steer loader. One is being
purchased in the amount of $30,572.75. This unit will be used for
shoulder shaping as the roads program progresses as well as normal
uses.
An electronic
message board was budgeted this year for the West gate. It will tie
into messages used at the front gate and be of the same design as the
one purchased in 2010. The cost is $8,270.00
The Roads
Commission was terminated as I discussed here yesterday. The roads
program will continue as a maintenance continuting project.
Remember, these
are strictly my notes and not official minutes.
