What the picnic shelter would look like was described by Randall Mungo. Tina discussed we pursued what the majority of the community expressed interest in. Homeowners asked about the cost of the insurance going up would be and would there be any maintenance costs. Security was mentioned and kids possibly vandalizing the structures. Joe asked if phase 2 and 3 were definite. Tina mentioned that phase one was the only phase that was the most concrete with actual costs. Joe also asked for clarification on the phases and what period of time would these all be done in. Jane mentioned we were only voting on Phase 1 of the project. Lindsey mentioned we did not have enough people for a quorum so we would take questions and see what the majority of people thought. Speed bumps was mentioned again and Randall Mungo responded about it being a county road. Fencing around the entire structure was mentioned to protect children. Another homeowner mentioned the noise level might increase. Bob Handley asked what benefit would a playground have for older people.

Lindsey mentioned that the people that respond are the ones that. Lindsey passed to Jane to discuss the dues and if they would go up. Jane reviewed the amount of money that was in the account and the current bills that were paid. Jane talked about the balance that would be left if we paid for Phase 1. Jane mentioned the other phases would have to come out of those years budget. Jane gave some estimates on what might be involved in future years for the other phases. Steve Acuff asked how can we have an idea of how much money we would have left. Jane said we do know how much money we have based on the records she has. Steve continued to talk about the budget and how he thought we were over budgeted. Jane continued to discuss the budget and the income for the HoA with Steve acuff and Joe Alexander.
