Cindy has been working with contractors to improve piping and drainage issues in the community.

4. New Tractor for POA maintenance: Old tractor which was previously used for shredding the community is in need of an overhaul, will cost too much money to repair. Board proposed the purchase of a new 55 horsepower Mahindra Tractor with accessories to shred, and maintain roads in the community. Mahindra had the best deal and comes with a 7 year warranty will have a 72 month lease at 798/ monthly.

Board voted on tractor, all in favor of tractor, vote was unanimous.

8. Open Questions were held, property owner voiced concern over sex offenders living in the community, and wanted signs put in the yards of said people, property owner was advised the POA cannot do that and that a Texas Judge would have to order that. Board also addressed concerns over unpermitted work and violations on properties around the community. The POA is currently working on violations and cleaning up the community. A property owner voiced concerns regarding dogs not on leashes, Jackson county has no leash law, we ask that our property owners have their dogs on leashes, but unfortunately we have no way to enforce this.
