March 2023 President’s Message

​

EDH HOA Members

As winter continues to assert its dominance, the Board has been hard at work getting ready for our upcoming annual members meeting. We have had to be a bit more conservative in spending during 2022, but the plans we put in front of the community remain on the agenda.

2023 Annual Members meeting – As June approaches, our thoughts turn

to the annual members meeting. With this meeting, comes Board of Directors elections.

This year, we have 3 positions that will be up for election. Kelly McDermott and Mike

Daw will be coordinating the nominations committee. If you have a desire to run for a board position, please reach out to Kelly or Mike to have your name placed on the

ballot.

2023 Annual Dues – With the members meeting right around the corner, that

means it’s almost dues time again. The Board is looking to switch our finance platform to QuickBooks, and with that a possible format change to the invoices. We are still planning to offer online payment as an option as well as traditional payment methods.

As always, dues are due May 1st, but we will accept dues payments without late fees up to the Annual Members meeting.

2022 Recreation Area – We still have plans to upgrade the boat dock area.

Our work permits are good through September 2023. In an ongoing attempt to be as cost conscious as possible, we are planning to do much of the work with community support. We are tentatively planning May 5-6 and May 20-21 and could use as much community support as possible to help with this project. Mike Daw has been leading the project. If you can come lend a hand, please be sure to let Mike know so he knows what help he can expect.

Boat dock seasonal rentals are coming up. At this stage, we have 5 total docks. 4

docks have been available every year for seasonal rentals. To this point, there hasn’t

been any requirement for more than 4 seasonal rentals. Moving forward, the Board has decided to change how Seasonal Boat Docks are assigned. If you plan to rent a boat dock for the season, you have until 5/1 to get your check to the Board. If there are more than 4 people requesting a Seasonal Rental, the names will be drawn by public lottery to ensure fair seasonal use of the docks. Those 4 names will be permitted to rent the dock for the season. There is no carry over from year to year for rentals. We are working to expand the docks, and with the expansion, additional Seasonal Rentals will be made available. All docks other than Seasonal will be marked “Day Use” and you will be required to remove your boat from the slip by sunset.
