She explained that she would speak to the Board but also suggested that Medallion puts in a sub meter that is not connected to Cross Creek CDD. She stated the next time she came into the community she noticed the only lights that were on was on Medallion property. Ms. Litwin stated with the age of the current lights, once the electricity is turned on there will be lights that are out, and the District will need to have an electrician come out.
