Old Business: None
New Business: Policy for Wooded Area - Mrs.
Fredricksen explained that our areas of concern are the densely wooded areas
enclosed by the semi-circular sidewalk around the clubhouse. It would be prohibitively expensive to clear
these areas. At times people have been
observed in these areas which presents a serious fire hazard as well as
exposure of these people to potential physical injury. She then read the resolution (copy annexed
to these minutes). Mrs. Fredricksen
moved approval of this resolution.
Mrs. Pettlo seconded and motion passes unanimously.
There were no Organizational Reports or Announcements.
Open Forum: Mrs. Fanning reported for Crime Watch. She said that on May 12 the Pasco County
Security Patrol and Crime Watch, Inc.
is voting on being absorbed into the Sheriff’s volunteer arm. The Sheriff
is absorbing all of the volunteer groups that work in the County. The Sheriff will now have three groups, the
law enforcement group, the incarceration group and the volunteers. She expects that communication will be much
better. There will be a meeting for all
volunteers on the 4th Tuesday of each month, at 7 p.m. at
Safetytown. Mrs. Fanning also mentioned
that we have had a series of incidents ranging from vandalism to more serious
activity in the last month. Crime Watch
and the Sheriff are both aware of this.
Meeting adjourned at 7:32 p.m.
Harold A. Hickey, Secretary
Lois R. Hickey, Recording Secretary
