 5. Commitment to a camping area for the member:
· When a member determines to occupy a camper area, he/she is required to pay the predetermined electrical power usage fee in the beginning of the membership period where the deadline of payment will align with the standard hunting club dues. A security deposit of $100.00 is due beginning of your first year of campground committal, (March 15th) to be held in escrow which shall be reimbursed at the fiscal year end if relinquish your commitment to the campground.
· If a camper moves in the period of September, he/she will be required to pay a value equal to (6) months of the annual determined power deposit as set by  campground committee.
· The projected campground fees beginning at the new fiscal year shall be paid by March 15th. In the case of existing members who occupy a lot don’t meet the aforementioned date with their payment, their circumstances will be reviewed by the campground committee to arrange for their camper to be removed April 1st· There will be no refunds if the member decides to cancel their membership based upon a (6) month/semi-annual basis (March to August/September to February), except under the following conditions: 
*Hardship (to be determined by the campground committee)
*The active member is required to relinquish their membership by the Disciplinary Committee and Board of Directors.
*Any overages which are not determined to a “hardship” circumstance;
those funds shall be accredited to the “Club General Funds”
· When a member makes a commitment to a particular lot number/location, he/she is obligated to that lot number/location through the end of the effective period for that year. If the camper determines they want to relocate to a different lot, the change to be relocated can be committed to an available, vacant lot at the new year after payment is received. 
· If an existing member determines he/she will not rejoin their membership for the next effective year, their camper shall be required to be moved by end of February. Should the owner of the camper fail to remove the camper from the property by the end of February, Hillcrest Hunting Club will relocate the camper to an alternate location.  If said camper is not removed from the property within 30 days it shall become the property of Hillcrest Hunting Club to dispose of as it sees fit.
 
 6. Effective period for campground lot rental:
The lot rental period shall be based upon an annual basis from March 1 through February 28th and 29th on leap year.

7. Determining lot (electrical power usage) fee/rental:
· At the conclusion of the effective power usage fees period for each individual side (A, B, or C), annual cost for the previous 3 years will be analyzed to calculate an average monthly cost, which will be payable as described above.
This cost will be used as a projection for the next effective year’s period plus 10% to allow for variation in use.
 Example:
Annual cost over 3 years = $10,000.00
Average members for that year = 25
Average monthly cost based on 25 lots = $10,000.00 / 25 = $400 per lot.
Lot cost average per month equals $33.33 + 10% $3.33 per month = $36.66 x 12
months = $439.92 average estimated lot fee for the next effective year per lot.
· If the annual cost exceeds the estimated projection of cost, the overage will be equally divided to the campers for the effective year. If the annual cost is lower than the estimated projection of cost, the under run will be placed in a Camper Fund to be used for maintenance of the camper area for such items as power, septic system, water, drainage issues, etc. 

 8. Other appliances on campground by individual campers:
· To be fair to all campers and conscientious about conserving energy, individuals who maintain freezers at the campground consider the power usage consumed while in operation. A small freezer operates on an annual basis at approximately $30.00.

 9. Encroachment on others camping area:
· Each member is to be mindful of their neighbors camping area and not intentionally or unintentionally take domain of their specific areas.
 · The domain is measured in between the sewer access points of the neighboring domains.
· If the campground committee deems a camper has occupied another camper’s area, that camper will be asked to resolve the matter immediately.
