A-4 THE FRIDAY FLYER JULY 8, 2016 Here’s a brief recap of CLPOA Board meeting
BY SHARON RICE
EDITOR, THE FRIDAY FLYER
At Tuesday’s Regular Session Board Meeting, members got a chance to hear about conceptual ideas for a new shade structure at the Tennis Center and the Facilities Review Committee’s recom- mendations for a permanent location for four pickleball courts.
Jorge Perez showed several conceptu- al drawings for the Tennis Center shade structure and storage building, saying the thought is to match the architecture of the Lodge.
President Bruce Yarbrough appealed to members to provide input about what they like or don’t like about the pre- liminary concepts. Ideas and comments may be emailed to projects@canyon- lakepoa.com.
General Manager Chris Mitchell filled in for Facilities Review Commit- tee Chair Steve Libring in presenting the committee’s recommendations for pos- sible sites for four pickleball courts.
He explained the committee’s crite- ria included such things as accessibility; availability of parking and ADA com- pliance; ease of emergency response; existing onsite amenities such as rest- rooms, water, lighting, etc.; number of residences affected; cost impacts such as the need to install retaining walls; ori- entation to the sun so it isn’t in players’ eyes, etc.
The committee narrowed their list of 30 possible sites down to their top five, and President Yarbrough said the Board had further narrowed it down to the Di- rectors’ top three choices. They are 1) the lower level of East Port Park; 2) the bottom of the parking lot at the Lodge, next to the tennis courts; and 3) near the recycled water pool at the Country Club.
Staff will be asked to research pos- sible obstacles at each location and what it would take to get permits.
After the presentations, the Board ap- proved appointments to committees and rule changes or 30-day readings for rule changes. One of the rule changes will al- low fishermen to park at launch ramps and in the boat trailer parking area at East Port after park curfew hours. An- other rule change would change the wording to allow spouses of primary members to register boats.
Directors approved sanctioning the Pickleball Club as an official Canyon Lake club. It also approved an Opera- tions Department funding request for a CLPOA Truck Fleet reduction and trail- er purchase.
Following the completion of busi- ness items on the agenda, the meeting was opened to Member Comments, which covered such subjects as 4th of July behavior and alcohol consumption at parks, pickleball courts, Main Gate costs, Main Gate appearance, the need to resurface the tennis courts, security is- sues and how to limit the access of con- tractors and other workers to community amenities.
General Manager Mitchell provided an update on projects that are in the works.
• Dog Park – Only one bid was re- ceived by the June 30 deadline; there- fore the RFP deadline has been extended to July 30.
• Road Engineering Services – Only two proposals were received. They will be evaluated by the Facilities Review Committee. Once the contract is award- ed, the POA can proceed with an RFP for parking lot layout and resurfacing.
• Campground – The City of Canyon
Lake Planning Department informed the POA that the Association will need to seek plan approval from the State’s De- partment of Housing and Community Development.
• Main Gate Signage and Gate Pro- cedures – Conceptual plans for signage are in development. Staff will continue an education campaign with regards to the new Main Gate procedures.
• Roadrunner Park Restrooms – Engineer and staff currently are work- ing with EVMWD on the plan check for sewer connections.
• Outrigger Park Playground – The Association is waiting for Frontier Communications to make repairs to the utility line damaged by the contractor during construction. When repairs are complete, the contractor will finish the playground.
Main Gate Entry Procedures
Chris announced that the Association would put out a flyer to educate mem- bers on the Main Gate entry procedures.
He said he stood at the Main Gate the first day it opened, July 1, to observe the flow of traffic and use of the RFID lane. His observation was that people were not stopping at the stop signs and wait- ing for the light to turn green before ap- proaching the guard shacks.
Drivers also were rolling through the RFID lane without stopping and waiting for the arm to go down after the previous vehicle. Because of this, the arm came down on a few vehicles and was hit by one vehicle, damaging the sensor. This resulted in closure of the RFID lane over the holiday weekend.
The procedures are as follows:
1. Guest Lane (Left Lane) is for new and returning guests.
2. Returning Guest and Resident Lane (Middle Lane) is for guests with Guest Barcode Pass Scanner, POA Ac- cess Cards or a Valid POA Decal.
3. RFID/Transponder Lane (Right Lane) is for resident with RFID Tran- sponder
New Lane Instructions
1. Guest Lane Instructions
• Waiting vehicles are to “STOP” at the limit line (thick white line) until directed to approach guard house with “GREEN” traffic light (located at top of guard house).
• The guard will provide additional direction.
2. Resident Lane Instructions
• Waiting vehicles are to “STOP” at the limit line (thick white line) until directed to approach guard house with “GREEN” traffic light (located at the top of the guard house).
• The guard will provide additional direction and/or verify decal.
• Returning guests may use “valid” barcode pass.
• Residents may use POA Access card.
• Scan “valid” pass or POA Card at kiosk next to guard house door
3. RFID/Transponder Lane In- structions
• Residents with RFID Transponders should approach the barrier arm at “less than 5 mph” and the gate arm will open automatically.
• The arm comes down after each ve- hicle. Do not go until the arm has lifted for your vehicle.
