TCC hurricane update and meeting announcement,
Hello all, fortunately the forecast was off by 250 miles and the hurricane completely missed us. The storm surge did wash out some of the dunes but didn't damage the sand fence. Patrick used the tractor to make berms across the openings in the dunes, so very little of the surge made it into camp. All good news for us.

Ron and Monty will go over the need for a dues increase at the meeting. Each of our 300 lots taxable value was increased by $12K for this year's tax due in January. Taxes will again be increased next year and likely the year after that. These expenses are ongoing expenses vs one-time expenses. They will not go down and cannot be paid in advance.
The fence around the surge tank is done as is the sand fence on the beach. Next in line to be done is the fence on the dumpsters, the entire SW side fence and portions of the SE and N fences which will be done in 50' portions where it's laying down currently. Pickets will be reused as feasible. The fence poles will be replaced with 4 by 6 posts and the framing will be done with the same style as the front fences. Camp has seen 58 inches of rain so far this year vs 18" last year, so it's been very wet.
We will likely need an assessment for the fence work to continuing to build our reserves.
We are still trying to put in an offer of $300k for the 5 acres we need for septic. That was set to happen this spring. Whether we can do that depends upon membership giving us the funding we need to replace funding now going to fences and tax increases.
