Personally, I like the idea of (1) having identifying stickers on golf carts and (2) charging non-Village golf carts a FAIR (not the entire monthly amenity fee) fee to use our paths. This could be easily accomplished with stickers.
As to people using TV amenities without having the right to do so, maybe it is time for TV to start having these people arrested for trespassing. That should put a stop to that issue quite quickly.
I'm honestly not convinced that our paths will be overwhelmed with non-TVers even if Spruce Creek and those surrounding communities, Fruitland Park and Wildwood are allowed to use our paths. It would be a long drive from any of these areas to the town squares. Most would not have the time nor the patience to go that far when a car can do it in half the time. However, I do agree that if they're going to use our private paths, they should contribute to their maintenance.

I agree. And I just don't think there are that many carts from other communities coming in here. The communities are too far away, and its not really convenient for a lot of golf cart travel. We have a large group of friends over in Spruce Creek and they always take the car. And I'd guess it takes about 15-20 minutes by car. They've never expressed interest in going by golf cart.
Nor do I think there are a lot of outsiders using the pools and facilities. And those people could have easily come in by cars anyways. The Villages could be a good neighbor by charging a realistic trail fee for those who want to get through a gate by golf cart and use the recreational trails.
