Budget – Gayle Gray announced the members of the committee that will be investigating the increase of dues. The committee met with the auditor this past Sunday. We have not had a dues increase since 1990, it is imperative that TC have a dues increase. Gayle advised that TC would be working towards a vote in April. Office – Emilu reported that Gwen Highsmith will be moving to Cartersville in January, and will no longer be employed by TC. Carol Norton has been hired to take her place and has already begun training. Emilu has been reviewing financials with the TC staff, & showing them how their department impacts TC’s revenue. User fees- TC will not be raising user fees for the year 2007. Only minor changes were made. A proposal was made to decrease the # of eligible users that a property owner can list on their membership. You must claim a person on your income taxes in order to put them on your user sheet. Daily use fee for pool has been changed, children under 4 free, 4-12 $2.00/person & over 12 $3.00/person. The swim/tennis package has been eliminated; they are only available as separate packages. Decals are only mandatory on a vehicle when they are parked on the beaches. Decals will now cost $5.00 for members & must be permanently adhered to your vehicle; there will be passes available for parties on the beaches. If any property owner wants to challenge late fees that have been assessed to them, the property owner must request a hearing before the BOD A&E- Nancy Fontaine reported there was one new build & 2 closings in November. November has been fairly quiet. More greenbelt signs have been posted along the lake view lots. Down to 3 grandfathered docks left & one is up for sale.

Security – Arnold reported that Sheriff Roper is doing all he can possibly do to stop the stealing of the street signs. Arnold advised property owners to be sure to take all security measures possible concerning your home during the Christmas season. Comments from the floor – Several property owners expressed their concerns with changing the wording of the user sheets to read, persons whom you claim on your taxes. They felt this was a bad idea, and would prohibit TC to pass a dues increase.
