Comments from the Floor

Thomas Meeks, Killdeer resident since August 2006, suggested a boat storage be created on old TC camp ground.

Mr. Meeks thought he had purchased one lot (#31) when he moved into TC but has been billed for RTS and dues for two lots. Former owner of lot #31, Jerry A. Ray, had septic tank installed on adjacent lot (#32) for service of dwelling on lot #31 . Would like to have Board approve consolidation of the two lots. Provided Board with information from Jasper County on the two lots. Dana Brooks was the realtor with Labelle Realty who sold Meeks the lot, affirming that he was purchasing only one lot.

Pool hours clarified for Gary Koprucu.

Date of covenants discussed and new efforts to enforce them regardless of whether they were enforced in the past.

Ray Runge’s replacement was to be discussed by board in executive session.

Information on Certificate of Deposit’s that would be valuable to the Board would be welcomed by Rosemary Dean
