2005 Budget: A second draft of the proposed 2005 budget was presented for review. Adjustments were made as follows:

·         Baseline membership reduced to 42 members making the annual budget $4200.00.

·         Entrance lighting changed from an annual expense to a credit balance of $80.00. The credit balance is due to a TECO refund of the prepaid annual fee for the entrance streetlight of $113.00.

·         Postal/printing supplies reduced to $100.00.

Special Land Use Hearing: Gene Gardner attended the meeting held by Hillsborough County on Friday, 4/1/05, re. a special land use permit establishing a borrow pit on the land at the corner of Pruett Rd. and Kings Way. A letter from Bruce P. was read to the hearing master citing the concerns the P.C.P.O.A. has about granting a permit for this specific type of land use.
