What's Up in Stallion Springs?

The Stallion Springs 4-H Club made a presentation to the CSD Board of Directors at the April meeting promoting their

annual Community Garden project. The club is currently preparing the Community Garden for this year. Located behind the swimming pool the garden has various size planting boxes available for rent for $12 to $36 depending on the size of the box. Planting is expected to begin around Mother’s Day. Reserve yours now. For more information contact Denise Cox at (661) 822-1423 or Lori Rogers at (661) 822-3268. Applications are also available at the CSD office. The 4-H C lub meets on the Second Friday of the month at 7 p.m in the library.

At its April 19 meeting the Board of Directors voted to remove all of the dilapidated newspaper tube stations

leaving the delivery of newspapers up to the subscribers and the newspaper company. The board also voted to

continue to see what could be done to have the Post Office replace the MAL locks due to the recent mail thefts.

The Board also approved the purchase of two new police rated vehicles on a lease purchase plan utilizing the

Police Department Capital Reserve funds. There will be four annual payments of $23,053.65 and a buy out of $1 at the end of the lease. These vehicles will replace two of the older, high-mileage and or salvaged vehicles, none of which are police rated.

In an effort to keep the community a safe place to reside and visit, the Stallion Springs Police Department would like to advise you that the only vehicles, other than registered motor vehicles, that are legally permissible to operate on our roadways are golf carts. A golf cart is defined as a motor vehicle having not less than three wheels in contact with the ground, having an unladen weight of less than 1300 pounds, designed to operated at no more than 15 miles per hour, and designed to carry golf equipment and no more than two persons including the driver.

If your vehicle is not a golf cart as described above, you could receive a warning or a citation from an officer. If you

wish to confirm the status of your vehicle, please contact the Stallion Springs Police Department.

The trailer to recycle cans and plastic bottles is back. The Police Athletic League had taken over the project and will be handling the recycling effort to raise funds for the organization. Deposit your empty soda cans and plastic bottles and help a good cause. The trailer is available for deposits 24 hours a day in front of the CSD offices.

next meeting is scheduled for May 18 at 6:30 p.m. in the CSD board room. Everyone is welcome.
