    • Any dirt being dumped on the training hill, the landing zone, or parking lot- essentially ANY CSS leased property (and the XC Ranch)- is illegal, will jeopardize our lease, and must immediately cease. If you see trucks dumping on the property please alert a CSS BOD member (besides Dan), inform the truck driver, post it here or on the forum, and take photos if possible.

    We (the CSS board) have repeatedly asked anyone calling & authorizing truck drivers to dump dirt at the LZ parking lot to stop immediately. We’ve been asking for months for this to stop, but it has not stopped.

    Truck drivers were told directly to stop coming to the LZ to dump loads of dirt, but they say that the person told them they own AJX and gave them authorization. Somebody is pretending to be the owner and sole authority, and continues to defy the CSS board’s demands to make it stop.

    It is completely unacceptable for any one individual to authorize dirt dumping on this property (AJX or the XC ranch) without CSS board/XC ranch owner approval.

    Any alterations to the training hills and use of heavy equipment need to be discussed and authorized by the CSS board first. We are not opposed to LZ improvements. We are opposed to illegal dirt dumping & lack of plan discussion, especially if someone is receiving money in exchange for this privilege. This is unacceptable.

    I can see your point Jana !!

    However as I already stated ; I really like that new upper training a Lot , and I doubt anyone asked the Encore University Hills, LLC, a Delaware Corporation , for permission to put it there ?

    Bille, the developers and neighbors have been very accommodating to us so far. That’s exactly why we need to be careful, so that we don’t attract negative attention from any of them. I think it’s fair to say that we all want what’s best for the club in our own way, however, there are proper ways to go about it.

    As a board member and even just as a paying club member, I don’t like to show up at the LZ and not know why there are huge piles of dirt at the base of the PG hill & parking lot area, or pipes running through the parking lot. I’m not even sure who to ask! I have an idea, but I don’t want to cast accusations without solid proof.

    As the current vice president, don’t you think I should be one of the first to know why they’re there, who called the trucking company to dump them there and who these trucking companies are? The board as a whole should have this information, so that we can call it off as soon as we think it no longer serves the club in a positive way. No individual member or officer should be able to make these decisions on their own, as they please.

    When we ask the people we suspect are responsible for it, we don’t get clear answers. We have asked politely multiple times, but it seems to be getting us nowhere. When we ask these individuals to immediately call off the dumping and it still doesn’t stop, what recourse do we have?

    It’s easy to say; “But these people have contributed so much work over the years to make the club better! Let them do whatever they want, whenever they want!” I get it. I too appreciate and respect those people immensely, I’ve benefited from their hard work, I don’t want to damage relationships over these things, but there’s a reason we elect a board of officers every year. They’re supposed to be in charge of scheduling projects, improvements, maintenance, events, insurance, etc. We can still get these nice things done for the club through proper procedure.

    The board is supposed to make sure that the lease is safe, that we’re covered as a club, that we play nice with our neighbors and that we’re not endangering the site. Sometimes that means the board has to put a stop to certain activities until those activities have been discussed, planned and approved. In this case the training hills are not on AJX or XC ranch land, but they are in extreme proximity to us and we need to be delicate about how we interact with that land.

    I’m begging you, whoever it is that keeps calling these trucks to dump dirt at, or near AJX, please put a stop to it now, before it really gets out of hand. The improvements are just not worth the possible consequences. The training hills are fine as they are, let’s leave it there. Going forward, please discuss all future plans for LZ improvement with the board first. Let’s work on this together.

    Fully agree , and I realize the “Why” I respect you so ; (your not stupid, and you articulate well) !!

    On another note — Ya see the tone was when we started with , on this conversation , and how the viewpoints were presented  ; it would be nice if everyone in the club could tone down the rhetoric , (including Me) and realize that everyone is different, and everyone has an opinion worth considering , (even if ya don’t like it) !!!

    Billie,

    My original post was a directive, not an opinion. No tone, no rhetoric, no viewpoint. I know it’s sometimes difficult to hear- especially from a woman you told to “bend over more while you pick up the garbage”.
    I’m very happy that Jana took the time to elaborate in such a way that you could begin to “hear” the message.

    Tom wins the smartass award 🥇😉

    Two years ago , I used the same context for a similar joke , (Linda should wear a miniskirt , right now) and you laughed at that one !! Also Linda — think back a few months ; you said something to me that would disturb most men and I just laughed at it .

    What happened to make you so cold ; is the pressure of the club maybe getting to you ?

    No Linda — I will not argue with someone that may be having a bad time of it , at the moment ; I use to be a friend of yours , so I will Back Off .
