3. Campground Clean-up Day.
• T. Chambers stated a clean-up day is still going to be
attempted, but instead of this Spring it is delayed until
the fall.
4. Barger Creek Wireless Internet Opportunity.
• B. Rogers presented a proposal from Barger Creek
Wireless (BGW), based out of Atlanta, for an
opportunity to provide wireless internet service to the
CCR cabin area including the campground. This
would provide internet service on a monthly rate or
daily rate to those that choose to subscribe. To
accomplish this, BGW has asked CCR to provide four
locations for power poles to be installed. These poles
are installed by PIEG and all expenses are to be paid
by BGW. BGW has offered to trade internet service
with CCR in exchange for minimal electricity
consumption at some of the sites (less than $30 per
site). CCR would utilize this internet service to
potentially install security camera at each of the CCR
gates. This provides another opportunity for internet
service for members, with no capital investments by
CCR other than 4 locations for power pole antennas.
After a lengthy discussion a motion was presented as
follows:
Motion by A. Lifsey, supported by R. Karbon to allow CCR
management to arrange the details and locations of
wireless broadband towers through Barger Creek Wireless
to provide internet service to the property east of the
Canada Creek. Motion Passed 5 – 4: YAY: R. Karbon, V.
Kaszonyi, A. Lifsey, M. Ames, M. Smith; NAY: W. Cook, T.
Chambers, R. Delecki, N. Schulz.
