Discussion of Third Amendment

	Steve Sijansky reported that at this point we have 99 members who have signed the amendment.  (75 votes)  The names will be submitted to our attorney Paul Tarski.
	There was also discussion on the following lots to be included in the amendment:  Lot 6, Block 1; Lombardy Park; and the pavilion.  These would count as 3 votes.

Update on Improvement Projects

	The work at the park (removal of debris) has come to a halt.  We are waiting on funds.  That is why it is important to send in your dues on time.
	The lights at the front gate have not been working.  Steve Sijansky was going to see about placing the lights on the fence over the RiverTree sign or on a pole facing the sign, whichever illuminated the best.
	Good Job! goes out to Ryan Sijansky for helping out with the mowing at RiverTree.

Other Business - Gate cards, Hunting at RiverTree, River Place Gate

	Pat Brown reported that gate cards are available and plentiful.
	Bernie Biggers  presented a response to the idea of having a "Hunting Day" at RiverTree.  The following was his response:

"I prepared my response to the proposed possibility of having an open deer hunt on RiverTree property in order to clearly present my position to the Board of Directors, and to be assured my full comments are incorporated into the minutes of this meeting.  There can be no excuse for my regulatory position to be misinterpreted, misrepresented, or altered in any form.

Article II Section 23: Firearms: No Owner shall use or discharge or permit the use or discharge, on or from his lot or elsewhere on the property, any pistol, rifle (including a pellet gun, air rifle or pistol), shotgun or any other firearm, or any bow or arrow, or any other devise capable of killing or injuring or causing property damage.

Article II 24: Wildlife Sanctuary:  states, “All of the Property is designated as Wildlife Sanctuary.  No killing of wildlife or birds by any means shall be permitted.”

I follow these two sanctions and I expect all property owners, guests of owners, and children of owners to do the same.  I do not want my wife, children, pets, guests, or myself to be exposed to the possibility of personal and/ or property damage by people ignoring Article II Sections 23 and 24."

The executive board noted Mr. Biggers concerns.  The Board did agree that shooting at RiverTree would not be safe because of all of the cabins and trailers, etc. so close together.  When the idea of the hunting day was thought of, the intent was to have no one on the property on that designated day.

River Place Gate

	Steve Sijansky reported that the gate is still being used.  The camera has recorded Delmar Hiller coming in and using the gate.
	The discussion of putting up a 6-foot cyclone fence which was approved by the membership was reviewed.  This fence will have a lock and RT will have control of this lock.

The meeting was adjourned by Steve Sijansky at 12:05 and pat Brown seconded the motion.
