President’s Message
HOA ANNUAL MEMBER MEETING: May 17th @ 9:00 am - Zimmerman Station
SPRING WORK DAY: May 17th - following Member Meeting - LAKE RECREATION AREA
Hello Neighbors! Spring may actually be here after a strange winter. I was glad we only had about a month of really cold temps, and the amount of snow/moisture, while inconvenient, was much needed after a dry 2024. Some information to be aware of:
Annual 2025 Member Meeting and LRA Work Day
​
The 2025 Annual Member Meeting will be held on Saturday, May 17th at 9am at Zimmerman Fire Station.
The Lake Recreation Area work day and docks installation will also be Saturday, May 17th immediately following the Member meeting. This way we only impose on one Saturday in May!
Member Meeting Agenda - We will send out and post an official agenda about two weeks prior to the meeting, but some topics that will be included are:
-
2025 Fiscal Year budget
-
Board member elections
-
Covenant Changes, including:
o Prohibition of short-term rentals within the HOA
§ This item was voted on at our last member meeting and was voted overwhelmingly in favor.
§ This restriction would affect new members purchasing property after the change, and current members that vote in favor would relinquish their ability to rent short term (less than 9 months)
o Language clarification of metal siding, which is currently allowed
If anyone has suggestions, concerns or would like to help with the covenant changes, please reach out to Tanya Strauss. Covenant changes are extremely tedious and require a lot of paperwork. We need to be sure to address all proposed changes at one time to avoid doing the work twice - this is why the changes were not done during 2024.
Boat Docks/Seasonal Slips - Don’t forget to send in your registration forms if you would like to secure a seasonal boat slip at the Lake Recreation Area for the 2025 season. If you are renewing your slip from last year, we must receive your registration form AND PAYMENT prior to April 1st. Failure to do so may result in your spot being given to the next person waiting for an open slip.
2025 Road Work
-
The 2025 roadwork will be done during the first two weeks of June this year. I signed the contract with Helena Sand & Gravel last week to lock in the dates. With all the snow and moisture we had this winter some of our roads are in pretty bad shape already.
-
If there are specific areas that require attention, please let me know and we can review prior to the work starting.
Snow Removal & Winter Road Maintenance
-
We continue to do snow removal work as necessary when the roads become impassable due to drifting or heavy accumulations. We simply do not have the funds to plow every time it snows, and we appreciate our neighbors who volunteer their time and equipment to help in this regard.
-
I have received feedback from several members regarding snow removal in the winter. If this is something we need to work into our roads budget, we can discuss that during the meeting.
Open Board Positions
-
There are three (3) Board positions up for election this spring. Myself, Brad Smith and Chris Strauss have reached the end of our terms.
-
If anyone is interested in running for a Board position, please reach out and let us know so we can be sure to include your name on the ballot.
If there are any items you would like to add to the agenda, please send me an email to have it included or simply bring up the topic during the New Business portion of the meeting.
Looking forward to seeing everyone out and about this Spring!
Jason Kreth
President
Eldorado Heights Homeowners Association
