landscaping subject to drought impacts• Significantly enhance the entrance beauty and

improve property appreciation e.g. Royal Links quality• Water is “FREE” from So. Pond vs. similar systems

using city water @ $6,000-$16,000 annual H20 costs• Annual operating cost are minimal e.g. electricity

(est. $800) and low maintenance with submerged pump.

Board Actions

rejected with minimal counter• October approach with Snyder Cos. for cost

sharing 60% Snyder/40% N.B.H.O.A.• May require a one time special home owners

assessment of $100 to $150.
