Board Approves Budget for FY2022

Annual Assessment to Increase 10% to $1,219

The Board of Directors endorsed allowing the annual assessment for residential and commercial properties to increase by 10% in FY 2022. Salaries are budgeted lower than last year’s budget, however, payroll does include a 3% increase available. The forecast for 2021 is lower than budget due to a consolidation of some WCA positions, delayed hiring of the Community Standards Specialist, and more cost-effective front desk management at the AFC. Maintenance expenses are budgeted slightly higher than last year’s budget. Tennis income is budgeted higher than last year due to increased lessons and clinics activity. Click HERE for the budget.

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.
