Went to a poa meeting last night. Crowd of close 800 and had to use overflow room. President runs meeting like a drill instructor which is good because otherwise with that many people it would get out of control. President reported another golf cart theft that wasn't in the paper yet, was a friend of hers. Also she gets updated by sumter county sheriff and said the robberies may be linked to a cleaning service. Detecties are working on it. Open forum had rich lambrecht a supervisor answer questions about cart lane striping which was killed by a 3-3 vote but he said that a mistake in voting which i didn't quite understand might make it 4-2 for the striping. Speaker talked on golf cart insurence, bottom line check with your agent to see whats covered as far as liability especially. Comic moment was when an elderly gentlemen asked when your at a red light with your golf cart, what are you supposed to do.

Any discussion of the Tamarind Grove controversy?

Funny, but very sad to think that he is out there driving around.

Thanks for the great update.

yes for the tamarind dog problem that land behind is owned by the developer and he has community watch at $30.00 an hour patroling it. What they said was you can have your dog on a leach walking through the area but not dogs running around like a dog park. That was it.

It is sad because the man was serious when he asked the question and i kind of felt sorry for him because there was lots of laughter in the room when he asked the question. On a diferent matter someone asked about orange blossom restaurant but other than guting the place only the developer knows and isn't telling. Also as was reported in the paper el santiago will be rec center. The acc bought it for $325,000 with some thought of getting a restaurant to purchase it but in the fine print the sale document stipulated building or site could not be used for restaurant. Will have a 60000 sq. foot rec center.

Sorry 6000 sq. foot rec center

It may seem 'over the top' right now, but I recently spoke to an instructor for a very popular dance program who said she had to wait for Eisenhower to be built, so I am sure it will get the proper use when it is finished. More and more people need more and more space to do their thing!

Maybe his question was - what do you do if you are on the cart path trail and the light turns red on the street. Do you obey the traffic light or do you check the traffic and go since you are on the golf cart trail.

I usually go - do you?

Villages of Lake Sumter, (VLS), when requesting services above and beyond Community Watch normal activities, pays the established Rule Rate for the Community Watch service which includes salary and overhead. There will be a billing to VLS for services.

Are you talking about the intersection of Rio Grande & Morse Blvd north of 466, going southbound in cart? When I've driven my car by there I've often wondered what a cart is supposed to do since the trail continues straight? Since there could be carts turning left (southbound) onto Morse I would stop. You would definitely stop at the light at San Marino & Morse.

No. The ones that you mention, the carts are in the street with the cars. They should obey the traffic lights. I am talking about the ones at Buenos Ares and Camino Real and Buena Vista and Polo Ridge where the carts are on the multinodal trail and not on the street. Most cart drivers treat them like stop signs. Stop, make sure there is no traffic and go. These are the only two that I know of that have that situation.

Thank you for posting... Good information.

The part about the suspects in the robberies being related to a cleaning service was right on the mark. One of the ones arrested in the robberies worked for a cleaning service.

You do realize that the planned rec center will only be about 60 x 100. take out the restrooms and storage, there will not be a lot of room left. Some people have homes larger than that. What bothers me the most is that Lambrect is the only AAC member who looked at the present building and he voted no. The hired inspector also gave an opinion that the AAC should not make the purchase. The AAC did not do any of the necessary homework, went ahead against advice of the inspector and paid $350.000 for a building that needs to be demolished (at a cost to the AAC), does not have parking (parking is property of the present rec center). so basically they paid this huge sum for a spot of ground. The final blow is the AAC also spent a lot of time considering a restaurant in the present building but evidently had overlooked a provision in the sales agreement that the building COULD NOT be used as restaurant.
