COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR

Mary Farnham, lot #637, talked about the misuse of ATV’s. There are a number of members and children, speeding, spinning, and driving recklessly. A number of them are riding on other member’s lots and causing destruction. Riding with no helmets, etc. This is something that needs to be looked into.

They are looking into this before money is spent on something that wont help the situation.
