CIHA MEETING NOTES
MARCH 9, 2010 7:00 PM
Members present: Maureen Thomas, Dave Weber, Kelly House, John Morawski, Sherry Woodbeck, Linda Fitzgerald and Sue Tonkovich.
BOARD ACTIONS
Lawn care bid forms were sent to all members via email and to last year’s bidders. Komisarz & LaFontaine won the lawn cutting bid. The remainder of the work had been contracted to CIHA member Linda Tolman. .
PARK CLEAN-UP
Park Clean-up is scheduled for Saturday May 1. We received a bid to replace the fence in the park, but it would be significantly over budget, so we’ll need some help repairing it at the clean-up. We also located the pergola canopy which the Woodbecks have been kind enough to store over the winter. If you’d like to help with the clean-up, contact Craig Leonard, or email us at cedarislandhoa@hotmail.com.
BOAT LAUNCH
The township has advised that it currently lacks the funds to monitor the boat launch. We are looking into funding enforcement through a special assessment that will apply to all water front owners on the lake. 98% of responses to our email survey were in favor of this approach. John Morawski has offered to talk to Township Clerk Terry Lilly about this possibility.
TREASURER’S REPORT
Invoice mailing went out earlier this year. So far only 68 members have paid dues as of March 9. A second notice will go out soon. PLEASE PAY YOUR DUES TODAY.
FIREWORKS
We will be having a bottle & can drive to supplement fireworks donations the Tuesday after Memorial Day. Save those bottle & cans and drop them off at the park on June 1st on your way to work. We are also contacting people across the lake to host bottle drives in their neighborhoods.
CHRISTMAS BONFIRE
The Christmas bonfire was a big success. We were glad to see many new neighbors attending and helping out. Thanks to Craig for organizing this event and to Brian Bomarche, Matt Brown, Bill Fitzgerald and Matt Slicker for helping out with the fire and Mike & Linda Kucera for putting out the luminaries.
GOOSE ROUND-UP
The Goose Round-up was approved at the meeting as part of the 2010 budget. Golden Shores will again pay half of the cost. Some of the requirements have changed since last year. This year the DNRE will be charging $200 for the permit and the relocation price has increased slightly. We are also required to do nest destruction. John Morawski and Maureen Thomas will attend a training course.
BUDGET
The budget was approved. Once again we will only publish a directory if we can cover the cost through advertising. We also added line item for funeral acknowledgments. We will re-bid insurance in fall since the cost went up again. We also plan to plant trees in the Burgess and Coledale Ct. cul-de-sacs. A survey of the people living on the cul-de-sacs was sent out before the meeting. Coledale Ct. approved the tree planting with five yes votes and one no, while Burgess had two yes votes in favor of new trees. Next we will obtain estimates and opinions on what types of trees to plant.
ADDITIONAL CONCERNS
The speed limit on Oxbow Lake Road has recently been raised to 45mph. If you are having trouble pulling out of the subdivision, please call Oakland County Road Commission with your complaints at 877-858-4804.
DOG OWNERS: PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE OF YOUR NEIGHBORS. Keep your dogs on a leash when outdoors. It's the law in Michigan. When you look at your dog you see the beloved family pet that would never hurt anyone. But kids walking to the bus stop or a friend's house and folks walking or jogging through the subdivision for exercise (who don't know your beloved family pet) see an unleashed, barking animal racing at them ready to attack. And don't forget to take the pooper scooper when you walk your dogs or take them to the park.
FUTURE BOARD MEETINGS
Board meetings are open to the entire association and are held quarterly. Dates will be published in the newsletter and/or reminders posted on the park sign. We welcome your attendance and are interested in your opinions. If you have an item to add to the agenda, please contact a board member a few days prior to the meeting.
