VII. NEW BUSINESS None VIII. OLD BUSINESS None April 3, 2018 Forest Lakes MSTU 3/5 IX. PUBLIC COMMENTS A. Community-wide "door charge"—proposed by Quail Run GC. Mr. Schumacher reported: • The Quail Run Golf Club has proposed a$10 "Door Charge"to a number of Condominium Associations in the community to assist with ongoing maintenance of the golf course property. • The proposed fee was discussed at a Quail Run sponsored meeting with association presidents, whereupon there was a suggestion that the M.S.T.U. assume responsibility for the desired additional funding. • The residents noted the golf course is an integral part of the community, positively impacting neighborhood property values and the M.S.T.U. is common to all Associations and single family homes within Forest Lakes. • The Ordinance governing the M.S.T.U. may be modified upon Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approval to encompass projects beyond the original scope of "Roadways and Drainage." • While M.S.T.U. FY-18 funding is sufficient to support current and planned projects, the availability of funds for additional Quail Run activities would need to be evaluated. • The M.S.T.U. currently only has easements for the lakes and ponds on the Golf Course; however the M.S.T.U. is equipped to assume responsibility and coordinate the activities of additional projects. Mr. Schumacher will confer with the County Attorney to determine the legal feasibility of MSTU funding for non-drainage Golf Course maintenance. During Committee discussion the following was noted: • Mr. Burnham volunteered to make"Door Charge"presentations and solicit feedback from all associations in the Forest Lakes community. • A list of priority projects would be developed to help provide guidance. • The maintenance of the Australian Pine trees on Pine Ridge Road should be addressed as a separate issue given the safety and light pole interference concerns. Mr. Schumacher will investigate maintenance responsibility for the Australian Pine trees along Pine Ridge Road for discussion at a future meeting. Mr. Fogg motioned for the Forest Lakes M.S.T.U.Advisory Committee and Staff to explore the feasibility of the concept including determining the parameters of any beautification operations or projects benefiting the golf course providing the entity responsible for the Quail Run Golf Club maintain its status as a golf course.
