President’s Report, Terri Hester:
- Action needed for bathrooms at Hodor; “they are a mess!” They need to be locked after each use; Kids and users leave the doors open so anyone can use them.
A discussion took place regarding possible refocusing of cameras to encompass the two door ways since currently only the hallway it’s filmed. It was requested that C. Thompson re-aim the cameras to help identify who is propping the doors open.
- DJ Chris w be at Hodor with Kareoke from 2-5 on March 19th.
- New 24´x24´ metal pavilion for Point Park will be delivered in two weeks (after she returns). The existing fence will need to be partially removed…volunteers are also needed to demolish the existing building after new one is erected.

There will be children activities in the morning then the Florida Flatlanders play from 2 to 4.
Volunteers, please contact Terri!
Maintenance Committee Report:
Locks are broken and need to be replaced at Boat ramp and Camping Parks.
A quote to expand the pavilion at Hodor has been requested.
SIGNAGE: T. Mathews presented a graphic showing proposed entrance signs, which include a number (i.e. Entrance 2,3,4, to assist in directions (i.e. if one is to meet at a location, etc.)
A discussion took place where it was determined that the proposed signage for Suwanee side needs further work, since it currently does not include a map of the Suwanee side and thus is only 5’ wide, (unlike the Columbia side signs that are 8’ wide. Also, there may be a need for more than one sign on the Suwanee side, since there are more than one entrance.
ACTION: Proceed with the (2) signs for the Columbia side NOW ($1,200), and work on incorporating a map (just as the Columbia side has), enlarging the signs from a 5’´ width to an 8´ width (this will increase the cost from $403.00, that it would’ve cost for the 5´ wide sign if all three were constructed at the same time).

Open – Property Owners Comments to Board, time limit 2 minutes per person. The following issues were brought up by residents of Three Rivers Eststes,, all of which should be addressed further.
Mary Terry noted there are problems with Airbnb guests entering the park. It is not fair that Airbnb guests, who dońt pay a fee for park maintenance be allowed. They may be part of the vandalism problem, sometimes there are large groups that probably include friends in the area.
Options discussed include:
- For groups of 12 or more, enforce our Covenants and Restrictions that require Owner must be present.
Skip Clemmons noted
- Board approval is required for groups larger than 12.
Skip and Joan Nano agree we should:
- c. Require Owners to register as Airbnb´s, and submit the names of any/all their Airbnb guests that will be using the parks each time they have renters.
Susan Nance and other´s agree that there are not supposed to be any Airbnb’s in 3 Rivers Estates.
- d. Enforce Restrictions and Protective Covenantsthat (see Parag. 13 below), that exclude businesses from being run in 3 River Estates.
President Terri Hester noted that Columbia County enforcement seems to be allowing power and septic without site plans showing single family home site (min. 800 sq. ft.),which then allows mobile homes, mini houses to be brought into these lots.
Jesse Crane noted that we can control whether or not Airbnb‘s are permitted and he also demanded to know when elections will be held, how many members will be running in October. The chairman noted that five ran the last time six will run this Oct.
Susan Nance then brought up a 2nd issue: she would like to take her tractor down to camping park, to grade it a bit at no cost to TREPO, since 4 wheelers and flooding has caused lots of mounds and depressions and makes it difficult to camp there.
Chairman reponded that she is not to do any earthmoving, but can pick up branches and sticks, etc., President was going to follow up as well by visting the site.
The owner of key number 1042 inquired about when keys were mailed she never received hers. The President is going to look into the matter.
