JUNE 10, 2016 THE FRIDAY FLYER A-5 Here’s a brief recap of the POA Board meeting
BY SHARON RICE
EDITOR, THE FRIDAY FLYER
The POA Board held its first Regu- lar Session Board Meeting Tuesday, with new Directors Dale Welty and Paul Queen and returning Directors Bruce Yarbrough, Eric Spitzer and Ted Horton. With only a few Board Action Items on the agenda, the not quite two-hour meet- ing was primarily informational.
Public officials given the opportunity to make announcements at the beginning of the meeting were EVMWD Board member Nancy Horton and Mayor Tim Brown.
Nancy informed the Board about EVMWD’s pending move to reduce water conservation restrictions, and asked Canyon Lakers to continue their vigilance in the use of water. Tim in- formed the Board that the City Council would hold a special meeting on June 15 at which it expected to formalize next year’s City budget.
Tim also noted that, for informa- tional purposes only, a representative from LAFCO (Local Agency Formation Commission) would be at that meeting to explain what’s involved if a city seeks disincorporation or merging with anoth- er city. Tim clarified that City Council is not considering those actions at this time.
POA President Bruce Yarbrough then explained that the Board had hoped to present a conceptual design for a new shade structure at the Tennis Center, but it wasn’t quite ready. He urged members to review the design when it becomes available on the POA website. “We want everyone to tell us what you like or dis- like,” he said.
Board Actions Items that were ap- proved were funding requests for a
change order on the Main Gate con- struction and for new patio chairs at the Lodge.
With regard to the Main Gate, dur- ing the month of May, the contractor requested a change order for two wa- ter system changes. The scope of this item was unknown at the time of bid and was not in the construction plans. Further complicating the issue was the fact that EVMWD had additional re- quirements once the water system was exposed.
Due to the unforeseen circumstanc- es, there was no funding contingency in place for this item, which had to be addressed immediately to keep from delaying the project. The approxi- mate amount of the change order was $28,242, which the Board approved to come from the Repair and Replacement account.
Operations Director Mike Morrow reported that his department had to take 60 patio chairs out of operation at the Lodge after a chair broke when a cus- tomer was sitting in it. Inspection of the chairs revealed hairline cracks at the top of the legs in 80 percent of the chairs. The Board approved replacing the chairs at a cost of $4,310.75.
A Discussion Item on the agenda was the Board meeting schedule for June to September. Because Taco Tuesday has started, it's difficult for members who want to attend the meeting to find park- ing. Several members asked the Board to change its meeting night or location during the summer months; one person suggested changing Taco Tuesday to a different night. Directors listened to comments and agreed to consider the options.
Taco Tuesday ends August 2 this
year, so there are only two more Regular Sessions and three Architectural Control Committee (ACC) Sessions to consider.
Following these business items, the meeting was opened to Member Com- ments. Subjects discussed were the sales of non-resident golf memberships, boat inspections no longer being conducted at members’ homes, the status of the dog park, the change of hours at the Light- house Restaurant and the need for new signage at the Main Gate.
General Manager Chris Mitchell in- formed members about the new Direc- tors Orientation and some of the projects Directors would like to address in the coming year. These include:
Dog Park (getting quotes from vendors) Pool shade structures
Indian Beach pavilions/tables
Main Gate signage
Campground improvements
Pickleball permanent home
Roadrunner Park restrooms
Tenns Center shade structure
Evans Park walking area
Median and common area ground cover improvements
Conversion of three holes on Golf Course to reclaimed water
Golf Course lake considerations Completion of security cameras instal- lation
Electronic data management for POA files
Goetz Rd. sound wall
Skipper’s Island improvements
Gault Field improvements
Securitas Manager Jay Cregeen pro-
vided an update on Community Patrol activity and said there had been 23 cita- tions for speeding in May. He said of- ficers would continue to focus on speed enforcement and parking violations,
especially overnight street parking of trailers.
There were 27 incident reports, 15 of which were for vandalism/graffiti. Jay said nighttime patrols at parks and beaches would be increased through the summer months. He strongly urged resi- dents to lock their cars and homes, close garage doors and keep valuables out of sight.
He said Marine Patrol would have an officer in the East Bay until 10 p.m. or later, as needed, and that Marine Patrol would be coordinating with road patrol staff to help apprehend offenders.
Corporate Counsel Howard Silldorf said his firm was aware of the recent letter to residents from EVMWD (about the Lake Lease) and would be provid- ing answers to residents point by point. He said there currently is no activity to report on the “tax court case,” which is in the appeal process. And he explained that lawyers on both sides are working through more than 6,000 documents in the “shorezone declaratory relief case,” the second of two lawsuits filed in March 2015.
Silldorf called Canyon Lake a unique development with a unique structure unlike any other in California. At issue is the history of land use and encroachments and the need to have a clear understanding of the rights of wa- terfront homeowners. Only a court or settlement process with mediators can declare the rights that are enforceable. Canyon Lake has offered to pay for a mediator.
