The committee suggested an appropriation of $600, to be distributed to the top three districts with the highest percentage of voters over quorum. The name of each resident who vote in the top three districts would be entered in a drawing with the drawing winner in each district getting the money. The prize in the top scoring district would be $300, in the second place district $200, and for third, $100. Non-voters would be excluded. The committee also recommended that the raw vote be posted. Because of the District Delegate system, the final vote represents, but is not the same as the raw vote. In districts where a majority of residents cast ballots, the delegate must cast the district's entire voting power in the same ratio as the votes cast. In districts that fail of a majority, the votes are not opened or counted and the delegate can cast the votes as he or she sees fit. In the interests of transparency it was recommended the opened ballots be counted and posted on the Four Seasons website. REMINDER – RV parking in the Lodge parking lot is by permit only. Permits are available at the reception desk. Also, RVs may be parked in front of owners' homes for only 24 hours without a permit. ~ Leighton McLaughlin, for the committee
