A-4 THE FRIDAY FLYER
AUGUST 7, 2015
The Main Gate Project ap- proval was going to be the main topic of conversation after Tuesday's Board meet- ing – until the President made a private, derogatory remark that was caught on tape.
Will remark caught on mic spell doom for Eilers?
BY SHARON RICE
EDITOR, THE FRIDAY FLYER
The POA Board approved the four components of the Main Gate Project at Tuesday’s meeting, despite the protests of many of those in attendance. (A de- scription of the Main Gate Project ap- pears at the end of this article as provided by the Association’s website.) Members at the meeting were given a chance to speak their opinion at the microphone, and Directors attempted to answer ques- tions politely but firmly.
Unfortunately, discussion about the Main Gate Project became hostile and disorderly as more and more members began shouting at the Board from the au- dience. The televised meeting exploded out of control and concluded quickly after one of the speakers confronted President Dave Eilers about a deroga-
tory comment television listeners heard him make about her privately to another Board member.
When pressed, the President acknowl- edged then apologized for the comment. A shouted demand that he step down could be heard from the audience before the meeting was adjourned and went off the air.
That there are members discontent with certain aspects of how the Associa- tion is being run was evident from the opening remarks at Tuesday’s meeting, when President Eilers informed the audi- ence that 286 signed petitions had been turned in at the previous Board meeting. The petitions demand a special election to recall Directors Eilers, Yarbrough and Gordon.
Two of the agenda items at Tuesday’s meeting addressed the recall, with the
Board approving Feldsott & Lee as the Inspector of Election at a cost of just over $22,000. Directors set the date for the special election at October 15, with an alternate date of October 17 if quo- rum isn’t met.
The good news at Tuesday’s meet- ing was a report from Controller Bryan Knechtel and representatives from the auditing firm of Lund & Guttry, who said they had completed a full-scale audit of the CLPOA’s financial state- ments and were pleased with what they found. They praised Bryan and his staff for their thoroughness and said the audit was “clean,” with no au- dit adjustments.
The Independent Auditor’s Report is available at www.canyonlakepoa.com. In it the auditors write: “In our opin- ion, the financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material re- spects, the financial position of the Can- yon Lake Property Owners Association as of April 30, 2015, and the results of its operations and comprehensive income and its cash flows for the year then end- ed in conformity with accounting prin- ciples generally accepted in the United States of America.”
The next item on the agenda called for the approval of the construction con- tract and budget for the Tennis Building. President Eilers explained this item had to be tabled because of technical dif- ficulties with the online bidding. Bids now are being accepted through 4 p.m. August 14. Only hard copy bids will be accepted.
