Two of the five seats on the POA Board of Directors are up for election on May 10 when the two-year terms of Paul Queen and Dale Welty expire.

The POA announced that Dale Welty, Dudley Thompson and Jim Barringham have turned in an Intent to Run packet and will be candidates for the 2018/2020 Board of Directors. Incumbent Dale Welty has been a Canyon Lake resident since 1988. Dudley has been a resident since 1999. Jim moved to Canyon Lake in 2009.
