1 September 1, 2014 The Pointe Services Association Homeowners, This letter is being sent to all PSA homeowners and provides information on several topics pertinent to homeowners and residents. Updated PSA Web Site: The PSA secretary, Susan Slaven, has been working to update the PSA website with current and useful infotmation. On the Village Links tab, she has collected and posted current web site links and/or documents for most villages. The site also includes updates on the Delinquency Policy and PSA Board members, recent minutes, a Security newsletter, and a status report on the television system. PSA Security- Hinds Security has prepared a comprehensive newsletter for owners and residents containing information for new and current owners/residents and advice on maintaining security here at The Pointe. Please review and update your permanent guest list and those authorized to check out a key for your condo. PSA Budget for The PSA Board representative from each village will vote on a 2015 budget at their next meeting in mid-october. Highlights of the proposed budget that will be discussed and considered are included in this letter. Please contact your local village board with any comments. Eagle Point Golf Resort Projects - completed per PSA agreement Repair and upgrade pond on 4'" hole Replace golf carts Adding a fountain on the 10'" hole, lower pond. Currently in process for 2014 Upgrade 10'" hole landscaping around bank of lower pond, increasing flow of waterfall, add lighting, & remove scum on upper pond. Eagle Point Golf Resort Projects- completed by EPGR Add grounds equipment Paint Clubhouse and Pool Replace pool deck chairs Enclose lake water pump Removal of tennis shack PSA Community Television System History- The old Pegasus Cable System was developed in 1999 and operated under the Pegasus name until October 2013 when Pegasus requested financial protection and entered the system into receivership of a local bank. Smithville Communications purchased rights of the remaining PSA cable contract fulfilling the 15- ycar contract ending April30, On May 1, 2014, PSA exercised their right to either renew the contract or purchase the Pegasus equipment for $1.00. PSA was not interested in renewing the cable contract, but retained the rights of the PSA Commnnity Television System tower, shed and equipment.

2 Current Status- Because a system that continues to operate is more marketable than one that is dormant, PSA has maintained minimal operations of the system for over-the-air channels with no subscription fee, while looking to have the system managed by an outside provider as a low cost television service. Comcast turned down interest because they felt that there would not be enough subscribers to meet their minimum subscription base, and we are now talking to the local DirecTV supplier. In July, the PSA Board voted to allocate $2,500 from landscaping savings to continue to maintain the system as a temporary service and repair the broken lines to two villages, while working to find a provider to operate the system. In October, the Board will vote on whether to continue maintaining the system in 2015 at an approximate cost of $30,000. PSA is currently working on a method for reporting problems. PSA will provide updated information concerning the status of this project on web site as it becomes available. Following is a list of the current channels available.
