RUMOR CONTROL -- FIRE HYDRANTS

Photo: W. Shearer

David Long, Golf Course Superintendent, and his crew prepare the #1 fairway for the spreading of Princess 77 grass. This should be a superior fairway grass and if it proves successful at Lake Kiowa, more fairways at Lake Kiowa will be done.

NEW GRASS FOR #1 FAIRWAY

After the recent fire here at Lake Kiowa, which was caused by lightning, there were several comments made concerning the number and the location of our fire hydrants. Lake Kiowa has 36 fire hydrants installed (above ground) around the subdivision. They are installed on six-inch and eight-inch main lines. These hydrants are located so that every home is within 1,000 feet. These hydrants can be used by the local fire departments to assist in fighting any structure or grass fire that might endanger local property. The hydrants cannot be used independently to fight a fire, but may be used to fill tanker trucks to re-pressurize and thus fight a fire. All hydrants in Lake Kiowa are currently, and have been able to be, energized with water to be used in case of a fire.

The blue painted spots and arrows along side the roads are used by the water corporation employees to quickly locate main line shut off valves. These are used to restrict water flow in areas between the valves to assist in the repairs of main line breaks. The Kiowa Volunteer Fire Department has maps of the locations of these fire hydrants on each fire truck. The water corporation will once again install colored fluorescent road markers on the roads after LKPOA has finished all of the road repairs later this summer.

It behooves all of us to know where a hydrant is located nearest to our house when an emergency occurs.

Lake Kiowa ResidentServing North Texas for over a decade

As we enter the summer months, the staff and Board of Directors are finalizing the budget for presentation to the community at our second meeting in June. Please see the proposed budget listed on page 28 of this issue.

We are very near completion with the installation of the emergency warning sirens. We would like to once again thank KESO for their donation to this needed project. The staff is currently being trained in operation of the sirens, and there will be more testing of the sirens in the coming weeks. We will continue to post those test days on the front gate sign. We will soon be sending out a special mailer or a notice in your next billing with some very specific information about the sirens and the meaning of their different tones.

We have completed the new automated gate off of Comanche, and it will soon be operational for buses and emergency vehicles.

By the time you receive this issue, we will have received bids for several miles of roadwork to be done this summer. The POA will notify those residences along these streets prior to beginning work.

With summer upon us, many of us will expect more visitors and there will be increased activity around the lake. Please remember that children must be thirteen (13) years of age and have

completed the Youth Golf Cart Safety Education Class to be eligible for a golf cart permit. The next class will be on June 17 at 9 a.m. at the Lodge.

In your last issue of the CommuniQue we mentioned that we would continue to monitor any progress or new information related to the Trans-Texas Corridor project. At one of their recent meetings, the Cooke County Commissioner’s Court unanimously approved a resolution opposing this project, basically stating that the State should focus on expanding the existing I-35 corridor, rather than reaching out into the more rural areas of the state. Again, the Texas Department of Transportation will be hosting a series of approximately 50 public meetings this summer to discuss and receive public input on this project. We will attend the appropriate meetings and monitor the progress of this effort as it moves forward.

Finally, don’t forget to make plans to be here on Tuesday, July 4th for another great celebration. Your next CommuniQue will include maps, schedules and menus for this event. You will not be disappointed.

Have a great month!!Scott Campbell

KIOWA KARES...

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of North Texas is proud to announce three (3) volunteers have completed the 30 hours of training required for new CASA Guardians Ad Litem. District Judge Janelle Haverkamp administered their oaths, officially “swearing in” the newly trained volunteers, Barbara Lovegreen, Gary Caldwell and Sheri Raney. These volunteers are now eligible to be appointed by the Court to work in behalf of abused and/or neglected children who have been taken into protective custody of the State of Texas in Cooke County. Each volunteer took an oath to guard confidentiality in their cases and to represent the best interests of the children to which they are assigned.

When assigned to a case, CASA volunteers get to know the children

they are assigned, their families and their circumstances. Volunteers keep an eye on the children and the parents, monitoring how they’re doing and report their findings back to the Court. Their efforts help to assure that the children don’t “slip through the cracks.”

CASA of North Texas has been fortunate to provide volunteers for more than 300 children since the inception of the agency in 1999. The constant challenge is to continue to serve 100% of the children taken into care in this county. CASA of North Texas will be training volunteer advocates in the summer. If interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact the CASA office in person at 900. N. Grand, Suite 101, Gainesville or call (940) 665-2244.

SAFE HAVEN SHELTER IN NEED OF SUPPLIES

KIOWA KARES...

Many homeless who were living under the I-45 bridge in Dallas were forced to leave their camps because they were razed by bulldozers.

As many of you know, James Waghorne (Syd and Jacque’s son) is very involved in helping the homeless in Dallas. He called his mother to ask people in this area to help those people start a new beginning. They need clothing, shoes, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, shaving equipment, washcloths, towels and other hygiene items. They are now living in shelters and getting medical attention.

Let’s help these needy people.You can deliver the items to Jacque’s

front porch at 307 Kiowa Drive West. Call her if you have any questions at 665-4502.

Lake Kiowa Fishing LimitsHere are the recommendations made by Bob Lusk, Fisheries Biologist and Lake

The Angler and Conservation Club has fully endorsed the following fishing guidelines for Lake Kiowa:Rainbow Trout: 5 Per Day, Per PersonBlack Bass: Keep Black Bass between 10-13 inches; 5 Per Day, Per Person.

TROT AND JUG LINES ARE NOT PERMITTEDDock owners are encouraged to provide cover for the fish under your docks. Make

sure the trees are securely anchored not to interfere with boat traffic. Feed the fish! Dry dog food or pellets especially made for the fish are readily available at feed stores. For questions, feel free to contact George Davis or Mike Merolla for specifics.

Wondering how the fish fry was? We will give you all the great details in next month’s article! Hope we saw you there and you had a wonderful time.

Once again the busy boating season is upon us. The Angler and Conservation Club would like to ask all boaters and personal watercraft users to review the lake rules and regulations. If you have guests on the water, please make sure they understand and comply with our rules. Even though Lake Kiowa is a private lake, it has adopted the guidelines of the Texas Water Safety Act. There are additional rules put into effect by Lake Kiowa Officials. Please remember that travel around the lake is to be in a COUNTERCLOCKWISE direction, all watercraft are to remain 50 FEET from the shoreline and 100 FEET from ANY OTHER WATERCRAFT. If you have any questions on any of the rules or regulations, please contact Security at 940-665-3221. You can also get a copy of the Texas Water Safety Act by mail, phone or on the Web.

You may also check with any Texas State Park Office or Local Game Warden.

The LKACC members have worked hard to place artificial cover in our lake. This cover is constructed of cinder blocks with black irrigation tubing. These structures are built to resemble small bushes. If you see one of these

structures along the shoreline in shallow water, please do not remove them from the lake. Once the water level returns to normal, they will be below the water’s surface. These structures have been placed in strategic locations for fish habitat.

Our third tournament of the season was held on Saturday, May 20. The winners of this tournament will be announced in next month’s article.

A new date has not been scheduled at this time, but please keep watching in the LKACC article for more information and please let your friends and family know it has been postponed.

KIOWA WOMAN’S CLUB NEWS

Opening Doors to FriendshipAs I write this, I’m anticipating the

“Star Spangled Night” dinner/dance sponsored by Gourmet. I’ve heard bits here and there about the plans and I can assure you it’s going to be quite the affair.

We are planning our participation in the community 4th of July Celebration. Our annual Cake Walk will be held in the Assembly Room from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. This is one of our major fundraisers of the year – and a lot of fun too! We are asking our members to donate a cake for this event. There will be a sign-up sheet at our June meeting. Also at this event, we will be selling our cookbooks and donating the proceeds of those sales to Rally for a Cure, that benefits the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

At our last meeting we elected new officers for 2006-2007. Please plan to attend our meeting on June 8 as we will install the new officers and honor the past presidents of Kiowa Woman’s Club.

As of the end of June, I will join this honored group of past presidents. I am humbled to be associated with these women who have organized and guided this organization since 1973. What began as a small group of dedicated women now boasts a membership of more than 400. In addition to officers, there are six departments and 23 committees including Tour of Homes and the Style Show. It takes the devoted time and talent of more than 100 women to implement all the programs, events and community services that Kiowa Woman’s Club provides. There are no words to express my appreciation to all the women who have volunteered to make this last year a special one. I am forever grateful for your kind support.

I look forward to seeing you on June 8.

And be sure to remember, at Kiowa Woman’s Club the door is always open.

Gayla Wilkinson-Robles

During June, July and August, we will not be having our monthly meeting. We had a wonderful year studying the Book of James. Please join us, and Mary Francis, on another Book of the Bible in September. We will let you know where we will meet in August. Looking forward to seeing you then. Have a good summer. If any questions, please call.

PRESIDENTS’ DAY PROGRAM

This month we will be honoring Kiowa Woman’s Club past presidents. The program will be an interview of four of the ladies who have served as president and have them share with us all their triumphs and fears during that period. Each will certainly have some very humorous as well as some not so humorous events during each of their terms. All the honorees will be recognized with their year of service and will be seated at a special table. We are hopeful that all of them will bring their scrapbooks given to them at the end of their term, which will be displayed for us to peruse and enjoy. Again, this would be a fun meeting full of insight into the “back room” of the office of president. See you June 8.

The Bridge Department finished its last tournament on April 27. The winners were: 1st place, Allene Johnson and Jeanie Foster; 2nd place, Ruth Kurtz and Jan Thompson; 3rd place, Dee Magee and Peggy Carpenter and 4th place, Pat Medley and Barbara Koval. This was a very exciting tournament with the lead changing each week until the end. Everyone had a great time. Since there was little interest in another tournament this spring that would go into the summer, play will resume in the fall with a new director. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the players. I have had the pleasure of being chair for four of the last five years and it is now time for a new chair. I have enjoyed my time as chair and thank all the people that have helped me. I look forward to playing in the fall with all the regulars and hopefully some new players.

ROOFS ARE BEING REPLACED FROM THE APRIL 30th HAILSTORM!LAKE KIOWA ROOFING, INC. MEETS WITH INSURANCE ADJUSTER ON WEST SIDE OF LAKE AND GETS HOMEOWNER NEW ROOF, “DAMAGE WAS CONSIDERED SIGNIFICANT BY BOTH OUR ROOFING COMPANY AND THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER, IT LOOKS LIKE HOMEOWNERS WITH LOT NUMBERS 300 THROUGH 1049 ON THE WEST SIDE AND 1100 THROUGH 1800 ON THE EAST SIDE MAY HAVE ENOUGH DAMAGE TO FILE A CLAIM” SAID MARK CORNETT OWNER OF LAKE KIOWA ROOFING, INC. “I HAVE LIVED HERE SINCE 2000 AND ROOFED OVER 300 HOMES WHEN THE LAST STORM HIT. THIS LOOKS TO BE A VERY SIMILAR SITUATION.”

If you’ve had hail in your area, to determine if the shingles have been damaged a close inspection of the shingles has to be made from the roof. Usually you cannot tell from the ground. Lake Kiowa Roofing, Inc. will perform this service for free. (940) 665-3106

Call your insurance company and ask for an adjuster to come inspect your roof for hail damage. Call a reputable roofing company and ask for the same inspection. If there are any discrepancies between the adjuster’s finding and the roofer’s finding, you may call for a “RE-INSPECTION” where your adjuster meets with the roofer to go over the roof together. Re-inspections are very common. The insurance company must determine two things when assessing the amount of your loss:

This insidious nature of hail is that it may pose no immediate threat to the structural integrity of the roof. However, many insurance companies have a “statute of limitations” of how long a hail claim is viable. If you have experienced a loss such as hail damage, it is prudent to take care of the problem in a timely manner before it leads to other associated problems.

A hail hit on a shingle looks like a “bruise” or a dark spot where the granules on the shingle have been knocked off and the asphalt underlayment and sometimes the fiberglass mat is exposed. New hail hits will have a shiny appearance because the asphalt has been freshly exposed and has not had time to weather to a dull color.

Why would my insurance company replace my roof?

The purpose of home owner’s insurance is to protect homeowners against losses in their property’s value due to damage that is beyond their control. If you have hail damage, you have experienced a financial loss in that your original investment of a 20-year roof (for example) has now been reduced to a 5-10 year useful life span. Your insurance company will compensate you for your loss and replace your roof.

1. Was there sufficient damage to the roof to declare it a total loss? (Usually determined by 7 verified hail hits per 100 square feet.)

2. What is the size of the roof and how many shingles will be needed to replace the roof?

What does hail do to a roof?

Shingles are designed so that the granules block the UV of the sun and protect the asphalt underlayment. As the shingles age the granules fall off over time. As the asphalt is exposed the UV, it dries out and the shingle gets a “potato chip” appearance as the corners start to curl up. A shingle at the extreme end of its life is bubbled in appearance and is brittle to the touch. A 20-year shingle is warranteed by the manufacturer to have a useful life, under optimal ventilation conditions, of 20 years. Hail does several things:

1. Accelerates granule loss.2. Accelerates shingle aging.3. Voids manufacturer’s warrantees.4. Leads to other associated problems.

How do I know if I have hail damage to my roof? Can I tell from the ground?

If I think I have hail damage, what should I do?

Do I need to get my roof replaced right away?

What does ahail hit look like?

4th OF JULY

Hello everyone! Before we begin on Lodge activity news, for all of you who may not have heard, Carrie and Ricky had a bouncing baby girl. She was born May 8 at 1:56 p.m. and weighed in at 7 lbs. and 8 oz. She was 18” long and her name is Cierra Hope Lopez.

All of you are probably aware by now that Ricky resigned his position at the Lodge and has moved on in his career. We all wish him and his family the best. With his resignation, Julie LaSalle has been appointed Head Chef/Kitchen Manager. Julie was here when the new lodge opened for New Year’s of 2000.

She and her staff have successfully handled eight banquet functions in the last three weeks, which included 242 for Mother’s Day, as well as the regular Dining Room and 19th Hole activity. Thank you guys for stepping up to the plate when you were needed and thanks to all of our members for your continued support.

Lodge management is working closely with the Lodge and Tavern Committee on ways to improve and promote the Lodge. Members are urged to make suggestions and recommendations. As always, we appreciate your continued support.

Most of our immediate interior projects have been completed. Lodge painting has been done and new carpet has been installed. Friends of the Lodge purchased a new desk and chairs for the front lobby with funds donated by the Woman’s Club. They really look nice.

Upgrades to our Point of Sale (POS) system have been installed complete with new and improved monitors. We will soon be getting a portable wireless terminal which can be moved from room to room to accommodate banquets and other functions. We will also have a hand-held terminal which can be used for outside dining or banquets.

Barletta Construction will be reworking the thresholds of the new doors and modifying the hardware in the near future.

Out latest Texas Hold’em winners were Marvin Crew (first place) and Jim

Lewis (second place). Way to go guys!! Hold on to your hats...Marvin wants to donate his $100 Gift Certificate back to the next Hold’em Tournament to allow five place payouts rather than two. Watch for further notices on this one.

May has been another busy month and we look forward to kicking off June with the Kiowa Kapers on June 2, 3 and 4.

Again, thanks for your support of the Lodge and we look forward to seeing you all soon.

FRIENDS OF THE LODGEOur April meeting was a big success

featuring lots of talented Lodge members. Each table was given a bag of items and asked to write a skit or a song using what was in their bag. It was great fun and the ideas were amazing.

By now you have probably noticed the new desk in the lobby. Thanks to the Woman’s Club for their generous donation to purchase it and for being so supportive.

If you haven’t volunteered to help for the 4th of July, it’s not too late. We will have a sign-up sheet at the June meeting and still need workers. Thanks to those who have signed up already. You can also call Carol Maners or me (anytime). Remember, we will not be meeting during the summer, but will resume meetings in September beginning with a “Roaring Twenties Party.” Watch for flyers with dates and times.

Hope to see you at the June meeting which is planned for outside in the Pavilion.

Fran Adams explained the carry-over rule for #9, #13, #16. After you hit your first drive into the lake, you may move to the drop zone and drop a ball, which will be laying three, and you will be hitting your fourth stroke.

Out of bounds rules on #7 ditch: If the ball comes to rest in the ditch against the mesh catcher, it is not out of bounds. You may move it back two club lengths and drop without a penalty.

#2 and #14: These are both lateral hazards. Under penalty of one stroke,

you may take your ball back as far as you want, keeping the last place it crossed the hazard between you and the green. You may move the ball an equal distance on other size of hazard, using the same formula.

#15: If the ball is in the hazard, you may hit your ball out without grounding your club, or under one stroke penalty, you may move it back as far as you want to on the line which entered the hazard.

Senior Club Golf Tournament - April 22-23Q: It is a condition of the competition (Note under Rule 6-8b) that players must

discontinue play immediately following a suspension of play by the Committee in a potentially dangerous situation. After such a suspension is signaled by the Committee, may a player proceed under a Rule by dropping a ball or determining an appropriate reference point, e.g., the nearest point of relief?

A: In view of the purpose of this type of suspension of play, it is recommended that all players take shelter immediately without taking such further actions. However, discontinuing play in the context of this condition means making no further strokes and, therefore, there is no penalty for taking actions such as those described.

Saturday, May 13 was a great day for golf! MGA play was a shamble format. All members of the team hit drives at each hole and picked the best. From there each player played his ball through the hole with full handicap. The best gross score and the best net score (two different balls) were kept for each hole. The lowest total was the winner.

The third and fourth place teams are pictured. The first two places chose not to report for pictures.

Some notes of interest:1. Please sand your fairway divots.

If you don’t have a sand container...get one from the MGA. See or call Brown or Wayne. Or just use a plastic milk jug on your cart.

2. Use the 90-degree cart rule...stay on cart path until you get to your ball, then get on fairway or rough. After

hitting, go back to cart path at a 90-degree angle (straight to the side).

3. Don’t get too close to the green or tee areas. In front of the green stay at least 15 yards away. We are in the process of getting some cart arrow signs for those who don’t know what 15 yards is.

4. This is OUR golf course. Let’s keep it as best we can!

The three above problems are the most encountered by our marshall and seen by other members! PLEASE HELP!

June 2-3 and 4 is the Kiowa Kapers Golf Tournament. Good luck if you are playing!

See you next month.Larry Glover

MGA News Play Day - May 13Superintendent’s Report . . .

Maintenance of the golf course is increasing as the grass starts to green up and we are starting to prepare the course for upcoming tournaments.

#1 Fairway - We verticut the fairway, seeded it with the Princess 77 bermudagrass, top dressed it and started watering it. And now we wait! We hope that all will go well. We should know within the next 7 to 10 days.

Greens – We have started removing bad areas from the greens and replacing with sod from our nursery, firming up the greens and speeding them up. This process will take about a week to complete.

#9 Seawall - Hopefully by this report we will have received a call from our sod people and they are able to cut. Which means we will have sod if there are volunteers that would like to come out and help, it would be greatly appreciated?

President Wayne Shearer called the meeting to order at 8:00 A.M. All members were present except R. J. Stroup, Chuck Essex and Barry Pliler. Special guest in attendance was Dean Dorsch.

Meeting Notes: The minutes of the April meeting were approved.

Treasurer’s Report: Dale Mock presented the financial report as of March 31, 2006. The summary report was as follows: The beginning balance $20,763.33, monthly receipts were $6,413.70 and expenses were $4,376.29, leaving the month end cash balance of $22,800.74. This amount includes committed funds totaling $5,301.07, which includes, Hole in One Pool, Handicap Tabulation and additional projects. This results in a net cash position of $17,499.67. The report was approved.

Membership: Greg Gotses, Membership Chairman, reported that our membership now stands at 475. A list of members from last year that have not renewed was reviewed and divided among board members for follow up telephone calls to solicit renewal.

We have 277 signed up for the hole in one club.

Public Relations: Larry Glover, Public Relations Chairman will include a USGA rule of the month from Brown McCrory in the Communiqúe column. Look for some excellent coverage of the Club Senior Championship in the current Communiqúe

Projects: Jim Williams, Projects Chairman will be placing the work project list on the web site in order to allow members both the ability to track projects and measure results on their own observations. Jim is also working on having sand barrels placed at every other tee box to facilitate the refilling of sand bottles by members. There was also a discussion about how to address practice around the #1 tee box and putting green while maintaining an area that looks attractive.

A reminder of the weekly work detail is now being displayed on the new front gate sign.

Tournaments: John Schneider, Tournament Chairman noted the May 13 Saturday play day format will be a shamble, and the Gainesville Habitat for Humanity tournament will take place on the May 27. For those that like to plan ahead, the June MGA outing will be a 1-2-3 on 5-4-3.

John addressed the issue of playing the ball down or up by explaining that the tournament schedule was designed to have scramble type events during the months the course is not at full growing stage, and individual play events during the prime growing season. Any individual ball play should be under USGA rules which consist of playing the ball down unless special circumstances allow lift, clean and place.

The Kapers planning is on schedule and it appears the tournament will have a full field by the end of this week.

Thirty-eight couples enjoyed a fun afternoon of golf, a great dinner and the satisfaction that they had helped finish the driving range improvements. David Long reported to the group that built up landing areas are to be constructed on the range beginning in May. The tee box will be leveled and re-sodded and pads will be put down in the winter when the grass is not growing. Gross and net winners received balls. The winners were as follows:

Men’s flight - First gross: Joe Bullard and Randy Romines

First net: Greg Miserak and B.R. Clements

Couples flight First gross: Jesse and Monica Trevino

Second gross: Brown and Jamie McCrory

Third gross: Charlie and Ruth Robinson

Fourth net: Mike and Paddy MerollaFifth net: Harold and Madonna

BakerSixth net: Tom and Elaine BlackwellSeventh net: Bill and Leta ThomasEighth net: Robert and Barbara

BergbowerThe Trevinos and the McCrorys

GOLF NEWS

Old Business: David Long advised the planting of Princess 77 grass on #1 fairway is complete and the hole should remain closed until May 24. If this grass works as well as anticipated, there is a possibility of closing the course after July 9 for two or three weeks to seed the other fairways. Work on the driving range will be set back on account of the unusual, but welcome rain and has delayed getting the 36 pallets of sod needed to finish #9 and #4.

New Business: Dean Dorsch was invited to address the board with his observations from being a course marshall. He opened his remarks by noting he assumed this job because he cares about how the course is maintained. Among the major issues he identified are lack of filling divots with sand, failure to remain on cart paths near tees and greens, and failure to comply with the 90° rule. Dean suggested signage may help to direct carts around certain areas.

David Long noted that the over seeding of fairways has been removed from the M&O budget for next year as the Princess 77 should preclude such need, and the competition for growth is not desirable. A back up camera for #14 is on order and we are awaiting repair of the primary unit.

The next MGA board meeting will be June 7 and our play day will be June 10.

The meeting was adjourned at 9:55 AM.

Activity at the beaches and around the lake has noticeably increased in the last month, which is not unusual for this time of year. Quite a few complaints were received concerning loud music at the East Beach. Extra patrols have been assigned to this area with instructions to cite individuals who will not keep music volumes at acceptable levels. Traffic on the water has also picked up. Security patrol wrote two citations for no boat registration, one for a boat in a swimming area and three for parking watercraft at POA docks in excess of the allotted time. A seven-day-a-week lake patrol will be instituted by next week. The department wrote 17 citations in all during this reporting period including two for leash law violations.

LAKE KIOWA PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATIONPROPOSED 2006/2007 BUDGET

Proposed funding includes $2,378,000 from maintenance fees, and $1,031,344 from other income. The proposed Regular Annual Maintenance Assessment is $141.85 per month. This is a 2.79% increase from the 05/06 Regular Maintenance Assessment. The detailed budget document is available for review at the POA office or at the Lodge. There will be a presentation on the budget at the second Board meeting in June.

Allocation to Cost Centers - Regular Monthly Assessment - Operations and Maintenance Fiscal Year 2006/2007 vs Fiscal Year 2005/2006

By David Spangler, LKPOA PresidentThe “Allocation to Cost Centers

of the Regular Monthly Assessment for Operations and Maintenance” comparison was prepared on a cash basis to show the allocation of the regular monthly maintenance assessment of $138.00 for fiscal year 05/06 vs. the proposed fiscal year 06/07 assessment of $141.85. Please note the new budget is based on 1,397 dues paying lots while last year’s was based on 1,400 lots. It does not provide for depreciation or doubtful accounts as required by generally accepted accounting procedures (GAAP). The ARRF is a separate funding assessment for capital item replacement, and, therefore, it is not included in any calculations shown in the chart for the operations and maintenance.

Other revenues are allocated to the cost center which generates the revenue. That is: golf course greens fees are placed against the golf course expense, lot mowing charges against maintenance, etc.

The projected revenues have been deducted from the expense of a particular cost center to provide a net amount to be funded from the regular monthly assessment. In the second column for each respective year, the dollar figure represents the amount of the property owner’s monthly assessment needed to meet the net expense of that cost center. The third column is the percent each center represents of the O&M monthly assessment.

For the next fiscal year, the regularly monthly assessment for Operations and Maintenance will increase by $3.85; from $138.00 to $141.85. The Asset Replacement Reserve Fund (ARRF) assessment of $34.00 will continue at the same level making each member’s monthly assessment a total of $175.85.

I hope the above comparison and narrative gives you some additional insight as to how your monthly assessment is spent to provide the various maintenance services and amenities at Lake Kiowa. $172.00
