FIRST POST
Lake property owners,
I hope you have had a chance to look at our posting of the covenants and bylaws for Wednesday’s meeting, Talahi Community Center, 532 Quarterman Drive, 7:00 pm.
Your board and our legal counsel have worked hard to preserve the useful parts of our standards while making a few useful changes.
Shortly, our presentation outline will be posted too. Please review it so that we can have good discussion Wednesday.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the meeting. Together, we can set a structure to preserve our beautiful lake.
Bill Oakley,
President, Talahi Lake Property Owners Association
SECOND POST
Talahi Lake Property Owners,
Some questions and concerns have been voiced in advance of our meeting Things to keep in mind:
First, a POA is not an HOA. The covenants are mostly already in place. The most significant change has to do with short term rentals. As far as I know, there are two, active short term rentals. And yes, the proposed covenants prohibit short term rental. Scarborough Cove has already prohibited short term rental, so this only applies to the remaining property on Talahi Lake.
The Property Owners Association relates to Talahi Lake itself. All of the covenants about buildings and rules for lake use are already in place. Enforcement of the covenants is addressed in the revision and is unchanged.
Until we became a POA, we had no practical way to change the covenants The change from Association to POA is for one purpose. It allows us to make changes to our covenants. The only way covenants now and in the future can be changed is by a supermajority vote of all members. Only the members have the power of change, not the board. The meeting is the start of a process and discussion. There won’t be any final decisions made until at least Jan/Feb.
Further, future board members will be elected as terms end through a nominating process and vote at the annual meeting. We look forward to listening to your suggestions and comments as we work to maintain our beautiful lake.
Bill Oakley
