1. Utility Sale update, Central State has signed but it will be 12-18 months before sale will be complete. Board plans to continue upkeep and keep things going as best as possible until the sale is complete. Board is hopeful that the sale of the water will help get POA out of debt and able to move forward on improving the community. Cindy has been working with contractors to improve piping and drainage issues in the community.

2. CSI inspections regarding lead were discussed, those were not done properly in the past, but we will attempt to get these reports done on all new builds and previously built homes.

3. Board discussed TCEQ fine of 27 thousand dollars, and are working with the attorney to file an inability to pay, will give update at a later date.

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.

5. Board voted on the purchase of a new access system for gates and piers in the community. Still getting bids and looking for the best system for use around salt water. Looking into an RFID system. Previous board had stated they had purchased system and gates previously, but nothing has been located as of yet.

Board voted, all in favor of new RFID system, vote was unanimous and passed for future purchase.

6. Discussed looking into a grant program like Kaboom, etc. to update and improve the community playground.

Board voted on Kaboom grant, all in favor, vote was unanimous.

7. Board voted on moving Cynthia Morrison to the vacated Treasurer positon which was previously held by Karen Gallaher, and to put Dennis Jerkins in the vacant position of Secretary which was held by Cynthia Morrison.

Board voted unanimously. Cynthia Morrison is now Treasurer, and Dennis Jerkins, Secretary. Elections will be held later this year around October or November, for Vice President, and Secretary positions.

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.
