Association seeks input on what residents want

The Facility Review Committee recently conducted a series of workshops to gauge the community’s interest in future community enhancements as part of a proposed “Long Range Plan.” The purpose of this survey is to allow residents an opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas for amenity enhancements.

The Association continues to accept proposals for the Main Gate signage. These two are the concepts already proposed.

Now that the workshops have ended, a survey has been posted at www.canyonlakepoa.com (and is available in paper form in the Member Services Office) asking homeowners to vote for the top five enhancements they would like to see on a Long Range Plan (one survey per tract and lot).

Proposals are coming in to the Association for new Main Gate signage. Three concepts have been proposed thus far and are posted under “Projects” at www.canyonlakepoa.com. Members are asked to email their thoughts on these concepts to projects@canyonlakepoa.com. or call 951-244-6841, ext. 210.

Boating Violators

Director Paul Queen announced at the August Board Meeting that Directors have authorized Marine Patrol to crack down on boaters who are violating boating rules. There have been reports of boats going full speed through the East Bay and 5 mph areas of the Main Lake. There also have been many complaints about excessive wakes. Paul issued the warning that if anyone is caught violating boating rules, they will be subject to fines of up to $500 and will be brought under review to have their boating privileges revoked for a year.

President Yarbrough added to that that towed inflatables are not allowed in the skiing areas of the lake, including the Jump Lagoon and the North Ski Area.
