Summer 2016 Newsletter
President’s Message
Welcome to Summer, and Warmest Greetings,
I started writing this letter in site #39 and am now completing it at my home on Lake Madison in eastern South Dakota. I am
looking forward to serving as the President of the Hart Ranch Resort Board of Directors for the coming year. We recently completed a weekend of meetings, the membership attendance was excellent and that is a sign of a vibrant, growing membership
resort. People care!
Speaking of people caring, I want to send out a huge thank you to Karen Ripperda and Vikki Day for serving on the Hart Ranch
Resort Board of Directors for six (6) years. Karen and Vikki will be having trees planted in their names as a small token of Hart
Ranch appreciation for all the time they donated to our resort.
Speaking of people caring, I want to welcome Elmer Pritchard and Dotty Johnson to the Board. We are looking forward to utilizing the talents that these two folks possess to make Hart Ranch an even better place to come and relax, enjoy, and to make
memories. Elmer and Dotty join continuing Directors, Bob McCormick and Kathy Payne in providing great leadership for our
membership.
Speaking of people caring, the Town Hall meeting held on Thursday evening, June 10 th had approximately 30 people provide
feedback on how to make Hart Ranch better. We need these ideas, we need your concerns, and we need your potential solutions. Folks, we are all in this together.
Speaking of people caring, it is great that I can share with all members that Tim Schnabel will be continuing on as manager of our
fine resort. Tim is closing in on five (5) years as manager, and during the annual meeting on June 11 th it was announced that he
had agreed to a five (5) year extension to his management contract.
The Pauli family will continue what our parents started back in the mid-80’s with a family reunion in July. My parents would be
so happy to see their great-grandchildren enjoying our resort. You see folks, when people care, it permeates generations. Even
though this generation has grown up with Instagram and smart phones and Facebook, they still understand that there is a time
for family. A time to walk the paths that their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents walked. To take a dip in the pool,
to enjoy an ice cream at the snack bar and to become the best mini golf player in the family.
The more that we care, and the more that we are positive about our resort, the more we will get people to follow our lead. Let
us lead, and let us care. As always, use the email address found on the resort website to contact your board of directors. We are
here because we care. Enjoy the Ranch!

TIM’S TWO CENTS
With summer at its peak, one of the most common topics of discussion has been how full we are and the challenges of getting a
site. Below are some occupancy statistics based on numbers printed July 22, 2016.
Year to date numbers through June reflect a slightly larger than 2% increase over last year. While July’s numbers are still based on
month to date current and future reservations, there will more than likely be an increase here as well.
The question we have to ask is how full should we be based on our current membership numbers? Even though Hart Ranch was
built on the premise of accommodating 5500 memberships, we are experiencing greater use per membership that what had to
have been originally anticipated. Throughout the summer and again in August, when the board meets again, some challenging
questions will be addressed. Do we continue to sell the types of memberships were selling allowing for 21 days of usage or do we
revert to a 14-day membership? Should we expand? Should we eliminate the 72 hour rule? The goal has always been to take care
of our members to the best of our ability. And while it’s nice to see a full, vibrant resort, it’s also challenging to turn members away
when were full.
While feedback has been the heartbeat of Hart Ranch, I encourage you to contact me at [email protected] or
the Board of Directors at [email protected] (this will automatically be forwarded to all members of the board).
Financial summary
Below is a financial summary of Hart Ranch operations year-to-date through June 30th. While overall numbers are looking good relative to budget as well as last year, we have experienced a significant increase in electric as well as water and sewer usage. Electricity
for June was up substantially ($24,186 last year vs $42,676.65 this year) due to increased occupancy as well as substantially warmer
temperatures. Water and sewer followed suit ($5,385.27 last year for water versus $14,015.79 this year and $3,799.55 for sewer
last year vs. $8,360.10 this year) as well as we watered substantially throughout
We will be discontinuing watering at sites effective July 26th but will continue to maintain center court as needed to maintain a
pleasant appearance in a highly utilized area of the resort.

SUMMER THOUGHTS FROM
SECURITY
A MESSAGE FROM
STORAGE
Welcome Back, Welcome Home, Welcome to
another summer of special times at Hart Ranch
Camping Resort. As I write this to you all, we
have just finished Memorial Day weekend. The
resort was full and there were lots of kids everywhere, in the resort. Thank you, parents, for keeping tabs on your children and pets. We continue to
need your assistance to have a safe environment
for our children and pets. My officers do their best
to patrol the resort and prevent any foreseeable
situation. However, we need everyone’s help to
accomplish that goal. Let’s continue to enjoy our
resort and most of all have fun, safely. Remember
that if you need help, we always answer the
Emergency Number, 605-939-9099, 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week.
Storage has finished their expansion and have been
parking campers there, as of June 15th. We will
have, approximately 1,000 campers in storage when
we’re full. We now have A thru K rows for campers, and the new fences are up.
REMINDERS FROM THE BYLAWS:
“Pre-registration of guests at the gatehouse is
strongly recommended. Members must be
present while day use guests are at the Resort.”
“ Each membership is entitled to bring five (5)
guests per day visit. Pre-registration of guests at
the gatehouse is strongly recommended. Members
must be present while guests are at the Resort.”
We have a full crew of 4 employees and this year is
our busiest, yet. Our guys are Hugh Hart, Bob
Wilkerson, Garland Kampe, and George Danielle.
We moved 450 campers in May, 682 in June, and
673 in July.
You all come camping with us,
Hugh Hart, Storage Supervisor
IN ADDITION:
With the storage expansion, we are excited to have
the additional spaces available for our member use.
To enable as many members to utilize the facility as
possible, the Board of Directors has set a limit of
one storage site per membership.
We are currently renumbering the storage yard, so
we ask for your patience during this process. A few
campers will need to be relocated to another site due
to maneuverability issues.
We are also moving to a one unit per site policy.
Please help us keep the storage yard clean and tidy.

The summer hit full stride with the first annual SummerFest weekend! With the grill smokin’ from
Spring Creek Grille and Ice Cold Beer courtesy of Diane and company from the Hart Mart, and throw
in some of Esther’s Nearly World Famous Popcorn, this was definitely a weekend for the record
books! Enjoying 4 consecutive nights of entertainment from Deadwood Express, The Wilt Brothers,
Crashwagon and pulling anchor was The Potter Family on the 4th of July, this was a great hit and
surely one to be repeated every year!
Going on the 4th year of producing The Legendary Hart Ranch Rodeo, we are excited to say the July performances were some of the best yet! Estimating over
1300 people in attendance, the cowboys put on one heck of a show! Even with 1
1/2” of rain right before the Friday performance, the rodeo went on without a
hitch! Kudos to Sandy Buffington and family for putting on such a great rodeo!
And a huge thank you to all of the sponsors that support Hart Ranch in hosting
these events!

First Things First:
Starting in early May, we first acid washed the big
Pool’s walls and floor. Then we scrubbed and painted the decks. Cleaned and sanitized the furniture,
hot tubs, toys and fences. We installed new Rope
Lights for ambiance, filled the pool and Spas, balanced the water chemistry and put up the awnings
and umbrellas.
We were ready on time for our opening on Memorial Day and look who was our first swimmer for
the 2016 season…Maxine Harsch.
Hello for the Spring Creek Grille,
With summer here and the ice cream cones going out the
window faster than one can imagine, we want to thank
each and every member and staff for the continued support of the new restaurant. Being our first year here, we
have met many members and I want to personally thank
you for all the input. We came into this venture with three
simple ideas. 1. Great Service 2. Great Food 3. Great
Menu with affordable prices. I believe we have delivered
all of these.
We still have a lot of summer ahead of us and if you
haven’t had the opportunity to come in, I invite you to
experience The Spring Creek Grille and lastly I want to
thank our staff for making this possible.
Thank again,
Monte
The staff and I take great pride in creating a healthy
and safe environment for all of our member and
guest families to enjoy. Thank you for helping us to
maintain this goal by showering at point of pool
entry.
Keep in mind, we do outside catering within the park so if
you have a family reunion or a special occasion that you
need to have catered, please give us a call, 605-737-5375.
The last two weekends In May/June delivered record attendance at the pool. “Bring On Summer”

Points to Ponder!
As we continue to grow and show off the Hart Ranch community to our friends, guests and prospective
members, please be sure to do your part and keep your site clean and follow the rules! Here are a few
points to keep in mind:

If it’s not camping related, put it away.

If it poops and it’s yours, clean it up.



Keep excess toys, propane tanks, totes, etc. stored in the underbelly of your camper, not under your camper.
Please do not work on engines or other projects that could result in oil spills at your site
Keep yard ornaments to a minimum. Our lawnmowers have a lot of lawn to mow and fewer
obstacles helps them do their job quicker!

Do not cut through occupied campsites.

Respect the speed limit! Prevent speed bumps!

Please do not leave children unattended.

Urgent Care Information:
If you have children that will be spending time with family and/or friends while you are not present, and circumstances arise to where the children need to go to Urgent Care, you need to have the
proper paperwork. A Minor Consent Form needs to be signed by the parents that will state whomever is caring
for th children may seek medical attention in the absence of the parent. The form must be carried by the individual who has consent to get the medical care for your children, or you can fax the form to the Urgent Care
Center. The fax number to the Regional Medical Center Urgent Care is 605-721-8433. For any questions that
you may have, you can contact the Urgent Care at 605-348-3280. Furthermore, the Urgent Care closes to the
HRCR is at 2820 Mt Rushmore Rd, Rapid City, SD 57701
Long-term sites for summer of 2017
It was decided at the Annual Membership meeting to offer a limited number of sites for seasonal rental for the 2017 summer
season. We are currently keeping a list at the lodge from members interested in long-term (seasonal) sites. Rates will be based
on a 3 month, 4 month or 5 month occupancy period between May 1 st and September 30th. These 10 sites will be metered with
electric costs added to the monthly fee. The final monthly rate will be determined at the Workshop on August 26 th. If interested, please contact Sally at the front desk to be added to the list.
Winterization requests
Hard to believe that winter is just around the corner! If you are interested in having Hart Ranch winterize your camper that will
be stored in the storage lot, please contact the front desk as soon as possible. We will only be able to take on a limited number
of winterizations and thus will handle them on a first come/first served basis. Be sure to get a copy of the winterization request
for your records.
Expansion
One of the biggest questions in Hart Ranch’s history will be the concept of future expansion! And with occupancy levels at or
near capacity, that future is knocking on our door! Adding more sites and cabins is currently being researched. With that comes
many questions:
How much will it cost?
Can our water and sewer systems handle the demand?
How will we pay for it?
What is the right design?
Should this be phased in?
Should usage levels change to accommodate demand?
We will be hearing back from an engineer very shortly in regards to the water and sewer feasibility. Once that is determined, the
goal will be to establish an expansion committee composed of members to continue to field and answer the many questions yet
to come. Stay tuned regarding more information on this exciting venture!

Service Animals
As we have encountered more and more service animals throughout Hart Ranch,
I feel compelled to continue the educational process for staff as well as members
to be aware of the presence of service animals and our responsibilities towards
them and their owners. Before any approach is made to a pet owner in a designated non-pet area, I encourage you to exercise some restraint to verify the animal is not a service animal. Preferably, call a member of the security team or a
member of management to address the situation appropriately. And while we
want to provide any and all accommodations that we possibly can to any guest
with a disability, we also understand there are those who feel compelled to abuse
this resource. While in an ideal situation, we would appreciate all service animals to be identified upon check-in, we cannot legally require that. Therefore,
we will do our best to communicate with any individuals with disabilities that are accompanied by a legitimate
service animal. There is much information about service animals and what can and cannot be asked of their
owners. Below is an article which I took the liberty to copy. Please forward this to your associates, friends,
neighbors, etc., as we want to do everything in our power to positively address these situations!
COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SERVICE ANIMALS IN PLACES OF BUSINESS
1. Q: What are the laws that apply to my business?
A: Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), privately owned businesses that serve the public, such as restaurants, hotels, retail stores, taxicabs, theaters, concert halls, and sports facilities, are prohibited from discriminating against
individuals with disabilities. The ADA requires these businesses to allow people with disabilities to bring their service
animals onto business premises in whatever areas customers are generally allowed.
2. Q: What is a service animal?
A: The ADA defines a service animal as any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability. If they meet this definition, animals are considered service animals under the
ADA regardless of whether they have been licensed or certified by a state or local government.
Service animals perform some of the functions and tasks that the individual with a disability cannot perform for him or
herself. "Seeing eye dogs" are one type of service animal, used by some individuals who are blind. This is the type of
service animal with which most people are familiar. But there are service animals that assist persons with other kinds of
disabilities in their day-to-day activities. Some examples include:
_ Alerting persons with hearing impairments to sounds.
_ Pulling wheelchairs or carrying and picking up things for persons with mobility impairments.
_ Assisting persons with mobility impairments with balance.
A service animal is not a pet.
3. Q: How can I tell if an animal is really a service animal and not just a pet?
A: Some, but not all, service animals wear special collars and harnesses. Some, but not all, are licensed or certified and
have identification papers. If you are not certain that an animal is a service animal, you may ask the person who has the
animal if it is a service animal required because of a disability. However, an individual who is going to a restaurant or
theater is not likely to be carrying documentation of his or her medical condition or disability. Therefore, such documentation generally may not be required as a condition for providing service to an individual accompanied by a service animal. Although a number of states have programs to certify service animals, you may not insist on proof of state certification before permitting the service animal to accompany the person with a disability.
4. Q: What must I do when an individual with a service animal comes to my business?
A: The service animal must be permitted to accompany the individual with a disability to all areas of the facility where
customers are normally allowed to go. An individual with a service animal may not be segregated from other customers.
5. Q: I have always had a clearly posted "no pets" policy at my establishment. Do I still have to allow service animals
in?
A: Yes. A service animal is not a pet. The ADA requires you to modify your "no pets" policy to allow the use of a service animal by a person with a disability. This does not mean you must abandon your "no pets" policy altogether but
simply that you must make an exception to your general rule for service animals.
6. Q: My county health department has told me that only a seeing eye or guide dog has to be admitted. If I follow those
regulations, am I violating the ADA?
A: Yes, if you refuse to admit any other type of service animal on the basis of local health department regulations or other state or local laws. The ADA provides greater protection for individuals with disabilities and so it takes priority over
the local or state laws or regulations.
7. Q: Can I charge a maintenance or cleaning fee for customers who bring service animals into my business?
A: No. Neither a deposit nor a surcharge may be imposed on an individual with a disability as a condition to allowing a
service animal to accompany the individual with a disability, even if deposits are routinely required for pets. However, a
public accommodation may charge its customers with disabilities if a service animal causes damage so long as it is the
regular practice of the entity to charge non-disabled customers for the same types of damages. For example, a hotel can
charge a guest with a disability for the cost of repairing or cleaning furniture damaged by a service animal if it is the hotel's policy to charge when non-disabled guests cause such damage.
8. Q: I operate a private taxicab and I don't want animals in my taxi; they smell, shed hair and sometimes have
"accidents." Am I violating the ADA if I refuse to pick up someone with a service animal?
A: Yes. Taxicab companies may not refuse to provide services to individuals with disabilities. Private taxicab companies
are also prohibited from charging higher fares or fees for transporting individuals with disabilities and their service animals than they charge to other persons for the same or equivalent service.
9. Q: Am I responsible for the animal while the person with a disability is in my business?
A: No. The care or supervision of a service animal is solely the responsibility of his or her owner. You are not required
to provide care or food or a special location for the animal.
10. Q: What if a service animal barks or growls at other people, or otherwise acts out of control?
A: You may exclude any animal, including a service animal, from your facility when that animal's behavior poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others. For example, any service animal that displays vicious behavior towards other
guests or customers may be excluded. You may not make assumptions, however, about how a particular animal is likely
to behave based on your past experience with other animals. Each situation must be considered individually.
Although a public accommodation may exclude any service animal that is out of control, it should give the individual
with a disability who uses the service animal the option of continuing to enjoy its goods and services without having the
service animal on the premises.
11. Q: Can I exclude an animal that doesn't really seem dangerous but is disruptive to my business?
A: There may be a few circumstances when a public accommodation is not required to accommodate a service animal-that is, when doing so would result in a fundamental alteration to the nature of the business. Generally, this is not likely
to occur in restaurants, hotels, retail stores, theaters, concert halls, and sports facilities. But when it does, for example,
when a dog barks during a movie, the animal can be excluded.
If you have further questions about service animals or other requirements of the ADA, you may call the U.S. Department of Justice's toll-free ADA Information Line at 800-514-0301 (voice) or 800-514-0383 (TDD).

GROUNDS
Summer is here and not enough rain. We didn’t have this problem last year. The grounds
crew finds themselves watering the pet side on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, each
week, and the old and new non-pet side on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. We are finding that some of the mature trees are requiring water, also.
The tree farm work is ongoing. We will have the ground material, as well as the watering
system, in place soon. There is lots of mulch on the tree farm as well as on the garden.
Even more, we have planting 20 new trees, after the 4th of July. The trees are located
throughout the park.
We will be landscaping the area around the flag polls, as well as the front of the lodge,
soon. Also, I haven’t mentioned mowing. I just hope we get some grass to mow.
This will be my last newsletter as grounds supervisor. Thank you to all of the people who
have worked grounds over the years. You are a wonderful group of people. Fortunately, Ed
Cox is replacing me. Ed will do a wonderful job.
