Holly Lake Ranch Security Department

February 2012

By Chief Brian South

First and foremost, I want to thank God for sending us some rain! Things were getting pretty desperate and dry around here for sure! While the County burn bans have all expired, keep in mind that Holly Lake Ranch still has prohibitions on outside burning. General Rule I. H. states, “All outside burning is prohibited, except for small controlled and attended fires for domestic cooking.” As we head into the colder months I think that it is a good time to remind everyone to be sure their fireplaces and chimneys are clean and in good working order before stoking up a big fire. Also for those with covers on their golf carts, please be extra careful and aware of your surroundings as your view will be more obstructed. Also keep in mind General Rule I. 8. Slow moving vehicles such as golf carts must yield to automobiles, trucks, etc. in order not to impede normal traffic flow and cause a potential accident.

As most are probably aware, the Holly Lake Ranch Association will be constructing a new Security Office. The new Security Office will be located in the exact location as the old one which will present some challenges. The Security Department will be operating out of a temporary building adjacent to this construction site. Hopefully, the weather will play along with this project and it can be completed in around three months. During that time, we can assure you that the Security Office will continue to function effectively. We would like to ask for your cooperation during this time and it is important to remember the need to keep traffic flowing in and out of the property.

The Security Department would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the members and their guests for their cooperation and support throughout 2011. Without that cooperation and support our success would be impossible.
