Report of December 2021 Board of Directors Meeting

The Board of Directors conducted their monthly meeting this past Wednesday evening, December 15, 2021; this was a week ahead of normal due to the approaching holidays.

SRC Project:

The major piece of business that the Board addressed was the decision to move forward with selecting the General Contractor for the SRC Pool Project. The Board voted unanimously to approve Century Construction as the General Contractor for the SRC Project and authorized the General Manager to enter into a contract with Century for such services. (Century Construction has already been providing Pre-Construction Services to the Association.)

TOWN HALL ANNOUNCEMENT: There will be a Town Hall on January 19, 2022 to provide the community with a full update on the SRC Project. So mark your calendars now for 6:30 pm on Wednesday, January 19 for this important community meeting.

Replacement Truck for Maintenance

The Board voted to proceed with the replacement of one of the old trucks (2001) for the Facilities & Grounds Department. The replacement truck was budgeted at $40,000; however, bids came in lower and the amount approved was not to exceed $36,000 from the Replacement Reserve.

Transfer of Funds

Management recommended that the Board approve a contribution for 2021 in the amount of $246,000 be transferred to the Reserve Cash account from the Operating account. This is for the December ($35,000) monthly accrued contribution, plus an additional $211,000 towards SRC Pool Engineering Costs. This transfer is in addition to the previously transferred funds to the Reserve which totaled $660,000 through November 30, 2021. The total contribution to the Reserve fund for 2021 will be $906,000 by December 31^st. ($660,000 transferred + $246,000 pending transfer.) The current Reserve fund balance as of December 10, 2021 is $226,158. After the $246,000 transfer of funds from Operating, the Reserve balance will be $472,158.

Happy New Year!

Boating Storage Announcement

Boating Storage Rental Agreements and Stickers will renew on January 1, 2022. Please let us know if you no longer wish to rent a spot for your boat in 2022, or if you have sold your boat and will not need your sticker renewed. Payments are due on the first of January; late fees of $25.00 per boat will be assessed on any boating fees not received by January 10. If any fees remain unpaid as of February 1, the Association will interpret said lack of payment as one's relinquishing of the boat storage space. Should this have to occur, the existing 2021 sticker will be invalidated, and the associated boat will have to unfortunately be towed (at the owner's expense). Please act now to keep your storage space; and thank you for your diligence in helping to maintain your vessels throughout the year. See this link for further information on the Woodlake Boat Registration and Boating Rules. If you have questions, please contact Diana at diana@woodlakeonline.com.
