THIRD ORDER OF BUSINESS	Consideration	of   Appointment	of Vice Chair,

If for some  reason the chair wasn't  available  to set the agenda, we typically set the agenda with the chair and that is included in your records of procedure and is an item that needs to be done as a duty.

FIFTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Discussion	of	Golf	Cart	Policies	and
Registration
Mr. Perry stated this is a carryover item from a previous meeting and a copy of  the policies was included in the agenda package.
Mr. McIntyre stated my position is the same, we do away with our own rules and have residents follow state and county rules for golf carts.
Mr. Sessions stated I agree with that stance, the only difference would be that we do have the ability to still police the fact that people have to abide by state and county regulations or they could still lose amenity privileges.

Ms. Gentry stated if you remove these specific golf cart policies you would be limited to your existing amenity rules and procedures so anything golf cart specific would be left to the county to enforce; the CDD wouldn't have any authority to do that.
Mr. Oates asked how does the current policy differ from the ordinance?
Ms. Gentry stated much of it is the same as the state law that is in place. The county ordinance basically sets out what communities do to become a golf cart community, but the state traffic laws are the bulk of what applies to regulate the standards that they have to meet. The two of those work in conjunction, but it is generally the state law that applies the  age of the drivers, the traffic laws they have to comply with and that sort of thing. The main  advantage of  this policy is that it gives the CDD the authority if someone is violating these state and county ordinances to have an enforcement mechanism through loss of amenity privileges. There is a registration process that residents would be required to fill out, providing information about their golf cart themselves and that sort of thing and there is a provision of the district charging a registration fee.
Mr. Sessions asked what are the additional liabilities of having these rules in place would place on the district in addition to the state and county regulations?
Ms. Gentry responded there might be a little bit of a problem if you had the policies in
place and you aren't enforcing them, that could potentially pose a problem. Your policies do require everyone using a golf cart to sign a form saying that they are holding the district, Mattamy, all these different parties harmless and indemnifying them and affirming they have insurance and all that sort of thing. It does provide a little bit of protection from that perspective. Your residents, as part of their amenity rules, already signed an indemnification form and waiver but this provides some kind of golf cart specific protections. It would be an option if the board wanted to have a scaled down registration form, there was some discussion about that.

On MOTION by Mr. McIntyre seconded by Mr. Oates with all in favor the CDD golf cart policies and registration was rescinded.

Mr. Perry asked does the board want something posted on the website to link to the  county and state requirem.ents?
Mr. Sessions responded yes.
