Minutes from the 2024 Annual Meeting
2024 ANNUAL MEETING MINUTES
Meeting was called to order at 5:05 p.m. by President Damon Yaeger. There were 23 present. He thanked everyone for coming despite the heat being in the 90’s.
He stated that the minutes of last year’s annual meeting were on the Lake Halice website, but offered to read them if someone would desire that. No one requested he read the minutes.
The financials covering the period July 2023 to July 2024 were handed out as well as the budget for 2024. Large expenses were highlighted and reviewed by President Yaeger. These included the purchase of an ATV and related repairs. The time saving on snow removal due to the purchase of the ATV was stressed. The Ash trees were treated and all docks had repair work.
Board members Damon Yaeger, President; Jeff Jackson, Vice President, Tobey Charloe, Denny Arthur, Dutch Timm, Nick Roberson and Brian Stammer were introduced. Judy Roberts was introduced as Secretary/Treasurer.
The term of Dutch Timm expires in 2024. A motion was made and seconded to renew his term. Motion passed.
Volunteers and friends of the Board were acknowledged. They included Brick, Mike and Lisa, Neil, Susan, Cathy and Vicki. Special acknowledgement was given to Jon and Carol Olson for their website, billing and mailing work.
The Easter Egg Hunt was a success with about 45 youngsters attending. Golden eggs were added again this year with Dairy Queen coupons in them.
The annual garage sale will be in September.
The condition of the lake appears to be good. We still have chemicals if needed. They are looking into a weed control system to control weeds on the dam. There are a lot of turtles and geese, but have no way to reduce the numbers.
Discussions continue with the owner of the apartments regarding the past-due fees. There are also several homes with past-due fees. Some as much as $700. There was discussion as to whether to use Small Claims Court for some of these. Judy Roberts will research the process and cost. She will also check into the lien process. Dutch Timm suggested we add language stating the costs incurred to collect past-due fees will be added to what the lien is.
President Damon encouraged others to get involved in whatever way they can. Tobey suggested sending an email out when there is an issue that might require help.
It was mentioned that this was the second year without a fishing contest. Discussed having a bags tournament. Maria Jackson offered the use of a block party trailer from her church to create a fun evening for the HOA members. President Yaeger said that idea would be considered. The offer is greatly appreciated.
A motion was made, seconded and passed to adjourn the meeting at 6:04.
