It's Time to Vote!

Ballots were mailed out to homeowners on Monday, April 1. Please take the time to complete and return your ballot to this year's Inspector of Elections, HOA Elections of California. The last day it is recommended to return a ballot by mail is Wednesday, May 8. For the ballot box at the Community Patrol office on Blue Bird Drive, the last day to deposit ballots is Tuesday, May 14. Members may also return ballots at the Annual Meeting of the Members & Election of Directors on Wednesday, May 15, at 8 a.m. at the Canyon Lake Lodge. To date, 580 ballots have been returned and 1,600 are needed to meet quorum on May 15. If quorum is not met by May 15, an alternate meeting is scheduled — which is an added expense for the Canyon Lake POA.

There are several measures on this year's ballot that can shape the future of the community. Listen to 2024 Board Election candidates Greg Doherty and Bill Van Vleet discuss two measures — Restricting Sales of Common Areas and Board Terms — at the Meet the Candidates Forum.

Members should have received their ballots within 3 to 5 days after they were mailed. If you did not receive your ballot 5 days after Monday, April 1, you can request a new one at www.hoaelections.net/need-a-replacement-ballot. The last day recommended to return a ballot by mail is Wednesday, May 8, so if you haven't received your ballot, please request your replacement ballot!

ELECTION INFORMATION

2024 Board Candidates

The governing documents allow Directors to serve a total of two consecutive terms. This year, the only candidates on the ballet are the two incumbents:

1. Greg Doherty
2. Bill Van Vleet

Each candidate's resume of qualifications and goals are posted online at www.clpoa.com/election.

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.

COMMUNITY UPDATES

April Member of the Month

April's Member of the Month is Larry Garland, a beloved and active member whose presence has left a strong mark on the community. Known affectionately as "Larry the Cable Guy" for his staggering expertise in the audio-visual world, Larry has been a staple of the community since 2010. His passion for singing led him to the Canyon Lake Choraleers, marking a grand shift in community-led vocal performances over the years. For the past eight, Larry has championed the Choraleers as their President, enlivening the community with sweeping musical events.

Eager to follow his musical passions, Larry became a publicity director for the Canyon Lake Guild and quickly worked his way up to Vice President and Director of Operations. He has been instrumental in booking the bands that appear at the Guild concerts, enriching the community with a variety of musical talents. Larry can often be found wrestling with the wires in the sound booths at Guild concerts and more — a testament to how hands-on he is in the community.

Tennis Area Shade Project

Progress is well underway at the tennis courts, with the contractor grading and digging the footings for the retaining walls. 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.
