General Manager Summary
Annual Meeting & Pump Truck Software Rollout
Annual Meeting Notice:
This weekend marks our Annual Membership Meeting. Please be advised that the RBMC Office will be closed for the duration of the meeting to allow staff participation and support for the event.
Pump Truck Software Update:
We are excited to share progress on our new pump truck software system, which is nearing full deployment. Staff training has been completed, and we’ve officially entered the live testing phase. Our pump truck operators are now using the system in real time to identify and resolve any potential issues.
Important Member Notice:
During this testing phase, operators will not be able to deviate from their assigned pump-out routes. If you need service, you must sign up at the security desk. Emergency pump-outs will still be handled as they are entered into the system, but flagging down an operator on the road will not be possible.
Key Features of the New System:
-
Mobile & Kiosk Sign-Up: Members will soon be able to request pump-outs directly from their phones or through a touchscreen kiosk at the guard shack.
-
Smart Routing: Requests are assigned to drivers who receive optimized routes via tablets, reducing unnecessary backtracking.
-
Real-Time Notifications: After service is completed, members will receive a notification confirming the pump-out.
-
F.I.F.O. System: The software uses a First In, First Out structure, while also prioritizing route efficiency. For example, if two neighboring lots sign up at different times but a third, distant lot signs up in between, the system will keep the truck on an efficient path to avoid doubling back.
-
Analytics in Action: The software also collects performance data to further improve operations over time.
We deeply appreciate the time and effort invested by the developer in creating this system and look forward to sharing a full rollout plan with step-by-step instructions soon.
Have a great weekend, and thank you for your continued cooperation and support!

Accountant’s Summary
As we prepare for the Annual Meeting this weekend, here are a few important financial updates:
Easter Storm Costs:
The storm over Easter weekend cost us approximately $27,000 in repairs and cleanup.
Budget Update:
We’ve collected over 99% of the 2025 dues based on our budgeted projections—thank you!
On the spending side, we’ve used about 32% of our budgeted expenses so far this year. That means 68% remains, which is exactly where we want to be at this point—above the 50% threshold and on track.
Looking Ahead:
The next major financial meeting will be the Budget Meeting in October. We’re beginning the preliminary planning process now. If you’d like to be involved, please stop by the office to fill out a Committee Interest Form.
Monthly Statements:
We’ve started sending monthly statements via email. If you haven’t received one and would like to, please reach out and let us know!
Thank you for your continued support and engagement!
Maintenance Summary
Over the weekend, we experienced two significant power outages. The first outage originated on our end and was resolved quickly. The second outage occurred on Potomac Edison's side, resulting in a longer restoration time.
Thankfully, power was restored before the water tower reached a critical level. In the meantime, our pump trucks—normally inactive on Sundays—were operating overtime to prevent the pump station from overflowing. Thanks to the team’s swift response, we were able to stay ahead of the situation.
We are currently investigating any potential connection between the two outages and exploring measures to prevent or minimize the risk of similar incidents in the future.
Pump Truck Software Test Update
We’re happy to report that the initial test of the new pump truck software was a success! After addressing a few routing glitches midday, everything ran smoothly. While additional testing is still needed, even our most skeptical team members are feeling optimistic.
Once the system is fully operational, you’ll be able to register online through the website. This will allow you to:
-
Sign up from any device
-
View your pump-out history
-
Receive real-time updates when your pump-out is completed
-
Be notified if an issue prevented service
New Kiosk Option at the Guard Shack
In addition to online registration, a self-service kiosk will replace the current paper sign-up sheets at the guard shack. Using it is simple—easier than ordering a sub at Sheetz:
-
Touch the screen to wake it up
-
Select "Request Pump-Out"
-
Choose your block and lot
-
Enter your name
-
Confirm your information
Note During Testing
To ensure accurate data collection, drivers will follow a strict test route and won’t be able to make exceptions or skip around. Please be patient during this phase—it helps ensure a reliable system for everyone.
If the next round of testing goes as smoothly, we expect to roll out the system very soon.
Mini Golf Committee Summary
