April 19, 2016News, President's CommentsEdit

By Tom Sopko

The Board taking positions on Issues.  The Board does not always take position on an issue.  However, individual Board Members may take a personal position on an issue just as any other Member can do.  A position by an individual Board Member does not constitute a Board Position.

Members running for the Board.  Three seats open; there are four candidates.  There will be a ballot; dues/assessment paying members who have filled out a Membership application should have received a ballot.  Had there been 3 candidates for 3 seats the Board would have done away with the Ballot.  Here are the four candidates:

  1. Ed Baitt
  2. John Lindemann
  3. John Martin
  4. Jack McMillin

The Board has provided priority direction to Dan Mullins, the Association Manager.  Priorities:

  1. Preparation of the facilities and grounds for the Members. Memorial Day.  4th of July.  50th Anniversary.  Opening the pools and bathrooms.
  2. Dredging Operations

The Joint Village-Association meeting will be April 14, 2016, 7:30 pm at the Village Hall.  The three agenda items proposed by the Association are:

  1. Village Police Jurisdiction
  2. Road Maintenance Fees
  3. Residential Building Bond

The Board has published in the Newspaper, Email Blast and on the website, the reasons for selecting the location of the New Office.  We will ask the newspaper to publish one more time.

At the April Board Meeting, there will be the 3rd reading for three by-law changes, which in summary are:

  1. Rather than do three readings for each by-law amendment change, we will do one reading and two considerations. (Update- tabled)
  2. The Association will dispense with a Director ballot if there are the same or fewer candidates as there are seats open.
  3. Change the wording, husband and wife, to spouse to be consistent with the Supreme Court Ruling.
