Committee discussion topics:
• The Committee expressed appreciation to Dennis Nagy for his Committee leadership over the past 3 years, as today is his last meeting and he will be leaving the Board.
• The Committee discussed the ongoing problem of non-compliance with trash dumping policy. Some items, such as nails and large items can cause damage to other property owners and to the equipment; food trash left outside the recycling dumpster attracts animals. In spite of the clear informational/warning signs, this problem continues. In a continuing effort to achieve compliance, the policy will continue to be strictly enforced with citations issued to violators.
• Following the Christmas holidays the recycling dumpster was overflowing because the trash company didn’t make it out to the Island to change the bin. Many Seabrook Islanders dropped off their recycling but the bin could not contain the surplus so no fines were issued.
• Per Phil’s suggestion, we will research and consider the feasibility of allowing electric bicycles. While current SIPOA policy does not allow them, this increasingly popular technology warrants additional research.
