4 | THE COLONY NEWS | JUNE 2023 | BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING HIGHLIGHTS: APRIL 20, 2023 Highlights as presented are a condensed preliminary dra until, aer review and approval by the Board at the next meeting, the minutes become official. Changes may occur. A complete copy is available in the HOA Office. Golf Course Litigation Update: Judge ordered legal counsel for both parties to submit their closing arguments in writing regarding the Golf Course Foreclosure Hearing by April 10. President Dalfonso believes the Association argued their case successfully, especially during cross examination. Judge will make her ruling before the Fraudulent Conveyance Hearing scheduled for May 12, 2023. What's New at the Golf Course: President Dalfonso gave a brief update on the golf course operations as reported by Trigild, the court-appointed receiver. Despite the heavy rains in February, the golf course revenue has shown improvement compared to prior months. The improvement in revenue is primarily due to a slight increase in the rounds played, as well as an overall increase in the cost per round. Things are trending in the right direction. The fairways and greens are in good shape. A lot of work is being done in the roughs. The golf course has only three maintenance people, but they are doing as much as they can to maintain it. A few Colony residents also meet every Tuesday to help clean up the course. Weeds on the slopes are growing quickly because of the rain. We are concerned that if the HOA pays to trim them down now, we will have to do it again later. The golf course is asking for patience in this regard.
