After four years we can finally say "We have a permit to construct the lake!" Now we are working on putting the finishing touches on our general contractor agreement. Once that is signed, it will take about five working days to launch the work. During the three or four months of construction the back nine will remain closed. This will also allow us to move forward with the turf replacement project near the back gate which relies on new fill from the lake excavation. Our Ad Hoc Committee on Electronic Infrastructure has prepared a request for proposal ("RFP") regarding the installation of fiber optic cable to our homes (FTTH). Four companies have confirmed receipt of our RFP and we are looking forward to their responses. We are now in the first month of our new fiscal year. Year- end results from Fiscal Year Ending 2025 will take a few weeks to complete, but we clearly had a good year. In particular, organizational improvements in staffing has improved productivity as well as performance while reducing costs more than $300,000. (That's about $15 per home per month.) That is not a feat that can be accomplished every year, but it is an outstanding recurring savings. We have recently had a spate of accidents that have taken out trees, totaled cars and injured their occupants. They are a reminder to be alert when at the wheel and obey all of our traffic rules. Most importantly, remain vigilant when walking around our beautiful community. Walk facing traffic, when possible. Stay in the walking path; those of you who choose to walk on the traffic side, whether to stay in the shade or for other reasons, are taking your lives in your hands. And especially if you walk at dusk, dawn or in between, wear ref lective clothing and carry lights — not to see, but to be seen. As cheap and bright as LED lights can be, there's no reason for you to loom up out of the darkness like a ghost — or to become one! And speaking of safety, we all owe a special thanks to our SERT Club for their excellent efforts to promote safety. In particular, their recent Town Hall on Fire Safety was excellent and well attended. It is playing on Channel 1960 if you missed it or if you want a refresher course.
