Happy Camp Project

The Happy Camp Construction Project began the week of Jan. 15. The campground is closed during construction. The gas dock will remain open. The project is expected to be completed by Memorial Day.

Boater Safety Test

A safety inspection must be obtained from Marine Patrol every other year. A safety inspection is required for all vessels that are required to be registered with the State. Prior to obtaining a safety inspection, members must pass a boater’s safety exam. The safety exam can be found online on the POA website at canyonlakepoa.com.

Lost and Found

The POA has a Lost and Found for items found in the parks and other locations within the community. To inquire about lost items, call 951-244-6841, ext. 510. Be sure to provide details on the item and leave your name and phone number so staff can get back to you after checking the Lost and Found inventory.

New Requirement

In an effort to eliminate confusion as to how community association homeowners receive communication from their associations, the California Legislature has placed on the homeowner the burden of updating their addresses of record for association notification. Homeowners must now provide their association with their current information on an annual basis.This information includes homeowner contact information, property address, mailing list, and the property status whether the separate interest is owner-occupied, rented out, if the lot is developed but vacant, or if the lot is underdeveloped land and legal representative information if any.

The new law also places additional obligations on associations. Civil Code Section 4041 obligates associations to solicit these address notifications from owner annually. Homeowners can expect a solicitation letter from the POA in March. Homeowners may also update their information on the POA website, canyonlakepoa.com, under “Forms.”

While SB 918 imposes yet another layer of micromanagement on community association administration, in the end, the address reporting requirements in this new law will lead to more accurate owner databases and the greater likelihood that owners will receive important community association communication.

Parking Lot Project

The POA Board of Directors announced at November’s Regular Session Board Meeting that plans are in the works to re-do approximately 20 parking lots.

Lighthouse Hours

  • Monday through Thursday: 5 to 9 p.m.

Traffic School

The POA offers traffic school as another method to remove a citation from a member’s account. A member is eligible to attend traffic school for a moving violation once every 36 months, as long as the prime member is in good standing with the POA. Traffic school is held on the last Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The cost is $25. Upon completion, will be waived from the prime member’s account. Registration is required. Payment is due at the time of registration. To register, call Hearing Services at 951-244-6841.

Paying Citations

Records show most thefts from vehicles in Canyon Lake occur because doors were left unlocked or windows left open. Residents should not leave items of value in front yards or driveways.
