EDH HOA Members

 

Our Annual Members meeting is approaching. THE MEETING WILL BE AT 6:00  PM AT THE ZIMMERMAN FIRE STATION ON NELSON RD. MAY 20, 2023.

 

 As always, we encourage everyone to attend.  In the event you are unable to attend, please notify the Board of Directors of your proxy vote.  Please use the Proxy form available online and send it to the Board of Directors prior to 5/17/2023.  Dues are officially due on 5/1, however dues can be paid at the members meeting.

 

Agenda Items:

• Boat Dock Policy Revisions – a group of community members who have boats got together to propose an update the boat dock usage policies.  This was presented to the community at the 4/15/23 Special Board Meeting . This boat dock policy can be found at the end of this document.

• Mines Update - As you likely know, at last year’s Homeowners Annual Meeting (May 14, 2022) the membership discussed the idea of doing some exploratory reclamation work on the heavily mined area of the HOA Common Area known as the Mine Recreation Area.  The outcome of that discussion was a motion from the members to carry out a 1-acre exploratory reclamation effort within the heavily mined area.  The motion passed with an overwhelming majority and the consensus was that the 1-acre exploratory site would be selected to have no or minimal impact on existing or future community hand digging activities. The primary purpose of this exploration was to determine if the heavily mined could be reclaimed to improve general recreation at no cost to the HOA membership; and, to determine if the reclamation work may provide an additional funding source for the HOA to utilize for high priority needs (such as road maintenance).  In response to concerns raised by some of our members, the Board elected to postpone action on this motion and utilized our April Board meeting (April 15, 2023) as an open meeting and asked those with concerns to voice their concerns.  I invite you to visit the HOA website to watch the video recording of the meeting and to review information related to this proposal.  As a result of the April Board Meeting, it was agreed by the Board that this topic should be revisited at the upcoming Annual Membership Meeting.  This email / letter is to inform you that this topic will be discussed at the upcoming Annual Membership Meeting and if there is a related motion from the members, the motion will be addressed accordingly.  If you are interested in this topic, I would invite you to attend the May meeting and participate in the discussion.  If you can't make it to the meeting, I would ask that you consider providing your proxy to a neighbor or one of the Board Members so that your vote on this and other proposals can be counted. Attached is a short summary of the motion that was passed during the May 14, 2022, Annual Meeting that may provide additional background.  As I mentioned previously, please visit the HOA website for additional information on this topic. The clarification document can be found at the end of this document.

• Roads -

• Elections – There are 3 Board of Director positions up for election.  The Nominations Committee has collected some names.  If you are interested in running for one of the 3 open positions, please contact the Kelly McDermott or Mike Daw to be added to the list
