June 2 RMO meeting held at Surf City FD
Meeting called to order by President, Carl Mounts
21 people present
Next meeting was set for June 23 at 1:00PM
Objective of this meeting is to review the Memorial Day Toll results and start plans for July 4 Week Toll Roads
Memorial Day Toll road comparison: 2017 had over 1800 vehicles whereas 2018 had only 800. over 1000 less than 2017 showing Toll was success. Media coverage was extensive and has captured the badly needed visibility and awareness of others.
Plans for July 4 week based on what we learned over Memorial Day weekend:
- need more volunteers
- need more women at toll check points
- have a hand-out to explain who we are and who to contact
- need better setup for stopping traffic
- only plan for June 30; more if volunteers available
Other Work
- New regulation size STOP signs are being installed
- Additional speed bumps added to gravel road
- Improvements and repairs on paved road to be limited to slow tourist traffic
- Carl requested someone else take responsibility for Road Committee
- Work is underway to obtain quotes to put in a gate for traffic control
Agreed that Non Property owners can purchase stickers; 2 stickers for $75.
Some discussion about the new 3200 dwelling development behind Dollar General. The easiest path for a resident to take for any points south will be through our shortcut.
The major announcement was that Carl Mounts, President plans to resign at the next meeting.
Meeting was adjourned.
