Why Skyview blue book requires changes. The current blue book wording did not hold up during negotiations with lawyers thus reducing the amount that the park could recover.

Please fill out the red lettered form and place it into the mailbox slot at Treasurer's office.

It was been reported that kids/teenagers are jumping our fence. The Sheriff had a talk with two of them and gave them a verbal warning. We are actively addressing where the breach in our fence is. We now have an agreement with the Sheriff's department that they are allowed to patrol our streets.

How much will it cost for the covenant changes?

Should the attorney should come to the park to explain why the changes are necessary to recover money owed to the park?

The attorney suggested making amendments to the rules in 2018 nothing was done. Proposed amendment changes presented in March 2023 were voted down.

A motion was made to present new proposed amendment changes in January when more people are present in the park. All board members voted in favor.

New proposed amendments will be handed out at the general park meeting in Dec. Voiced board concern: legal fees and 3 person committee fining procedure.

• HOA Collections - all HOA dues have been collected except for Dover Lane.

• Associations rules for the sale of homes. Currently the park is not being notified of sale and purchase of homes, which is in violation of our covenants. Owners should provide their intent to sell their property 60 days in advance. The park maintains a right of refusal regarding undervalued property in order to protect current home values. Some of the operating realtors are providing a blue book to the buyers, which informs the buyer the of HOA rules and its deed restrictions. The board discussed a possible change to the blue book; a 14 day notification instead of 60 day notification.

The buyer/new owner must inform the office of their new information. By providing this information it keeps the park HUD compliant.

They will not have access to the lake. We do not know if the new development will require pump stations. Will they allow auxiliary units to be added to each individual property? There is no news on the price per lot yet. Our current dialog is with the developer, not the house builder; will this information be upheld also by the builder?
