Spring Break update

[Monty]

Hello all,
This is a reminder about parking in the central parking area on the south side.  To park there be sure to display either a parking tag or put your lot number and name on a piece of paper near your registration sticker on your dash.  Don't Park in front of any of the entrances or in any of the fire lanes or in the roads.  Violators are going to be tagged with a violation sticker and repeat offenders will be booted and fined $50 cash to remove the boot.  Do not park in anyone else's lot without their permission.  Parking will be at a premium over spring break and into Spring. 

The roll off dumpster got full freeze debris and has been removed.  There are two dumpsters that get emptied twice a week automatically.  We are monitoring them daily in person and via web cams that record 24/7.  If they need to be emptied earlier, we will call that in for the next weekday.  Do not leave anything on the ground in the dumpster area, period.   That includes trash and trash bags.  The contractor will not dump our dumpsters if anything is even near them.  Don't put teardowns, a/c's, appliances or any other prohibited item in the dumpster. 
It's much cheaper to have extra dumps on the two dumpsters than to pay $1300 for the roll off. We try to save membership dues every chance we get. 

The septic system maintenance is complete.  We resealed the tanks for odor control, modified one pump's capacity, and we can pump our final tank correctly.  Please stay 100% off the field in the middle of the north side.  It's vital to our system.  We should see reduced odors and standing water with these changes.   The rainwater pumps are being reinstalled due to the water table floating them in a recent deluge.  Weight is going to be added all around them to solve this issue.  These pumps are high efficiency pumps with low power usage as recommended by Glenn Booker, our VP. 

Mowing season is upon us.  Keep your lots cut per the rules.  Fines are issued per day of continued violations and for having the Club paying for them to be mowed.  Be sure you pay your contractor if you use one.  Not being paid is the number one reason they don't show up.  Everyone that is a member agreed to follow Club rules.  This is the most violated rule.
We have some nice memberships up for sale.  Please tell your friends about us.   

Our contacts are shown on our website at www.tcclub.info  Our Facebook page is at https://www.facebook.com/groups/568637784617363 and is for members only.  The beach cam is at https://tcclub.info/cam.html with the link to the weather station on S110 t the bottom. 
The next TCC event is April 19th from 11:00 to 1:00 at the Club House.  There is an Easter Egg hunt planned with a spaghetti lunch.  Contact Curtis if you want to bring something or help out.  We turned in our order for pretty weather early this time.  Fingers crossed.

There is a new compressed air station at the barn by the pool to blow up floaties and tires with.  Please roll up the hose.  The pool opens on Mother's Day Weekend. 

The issue with dogs left outside barking is with us again.  Nonaggressive dogs are allowed, but leaving them outside barking is not allowed.  Bring them in or leave them at home.  Pick up poop from your dog.  Pet owners are responsible for their pets.  They must be leashed, licensed and up to date on all shots and wear tags.

Let Will know if you need help with snakes, possums or racoons.  Be aware that we have seen coyotes on our webcams.  Watch where you step for snakes.  They love stairs and underdecks and sheds.  Some rather large ones feed off our many rabbits have been seen in  Camp in the past. 

Be sure to turn off your water when not at camp. We monitor this daily.  Water left running causes major issues with our septic and fines are issued to violators. Locking your water valve is suggested.  We now have a sewer cam and pipe locator that only Patrick operates to find leaks and plugs.  We are still finding wipes in our pumps.  Do not flush anything down the drains unless you eat it first.  That and PT only.  These wipes clog our lines and burn out our pumps.

The palms trees will be trimmed around Memorial Day again this year.   We will need access to any behind locked gates and will cut down any requested inside lot lines.  This process is essential to minimizing storm damages.



Sincerely,
Monty Weeks, Club President
