Ballot Measure to Amend Bylaws
Add Bylaw Restriction to
Future Sales of Common Areas

A majority vote to approve this measure at a meeting where a quorum is met would result in the Board being unable to sell common areas without the approval of the Canyon Lake owners. If approved, future common area sales would require a quorum and majority vote in favor at a meeting or election conducted in accordance with California law and Canyon Lake POA governing documents.

Ballot Measure to Amend Bylaws
Board Terms

Efficient operations are significantly hindered by annual changes in the Board. This measure was placed on the ballot as an option to address this issue and add stability to the Canyon Lake POA’s governance. If approved, this Bylaw amendment would establish 4-year terms with a 2-year waiting period for Board members beginning with the 2025 Annual Meeting & Election of Directors. Once aligned, subsequent elections would then occur every two years — fortifying governance tenure, establishing stability within the Canyon Lake POA organization, lessening the presence of election signs, and reducing costs by 50%. The community would only see and experience election campaigning during election years, reducing the visibility of Canyon Lake POA election signs and the frequency of election disruptions by half.

Ballot Measure
IRS Revenue Rule 70-604

The IRS Revenue Tax Ruling 70-604 allows associations to avoid a tax consequence on any inadvertent excess member income that is applied to the following Fiscal Year (FY) assessment when filing a tax return Federal Form 1120. This IRS Ballot Measure is considered an annual industry standard to allow for clear tax filing authorization should the Board decide to apply excess income to the following year’s assessment.

Tennis Area Shade Project

Progress is underway at the tennis courts, enhancing our community's recreational space. For your safety, we kindly ask that you avoid the construction site. While the courts remain accessible, please be aware that lights on courts 3, 4, 5, and 6 may be temporarily unavailable during certain phases of the project.

Upon completion of the project, two new shade structure pavilions will be unveiled. One pavilion will feature a built-in barbecue at one end, accompanied by six picnic tables beneath the shade canopy, creating an ideal setting for outdoor gatherings. The second pavilion will replace the existing aging structure, offering extended coverage and additional viewing bleachers for tennis matches. Additionally, the project includes the installation of a new ADA ramp, ensuring accessibility for all community members. With an anticipated completion date in early summer, these enhancements will provide improved amenities for residents.
