Millie H. called the meeting to order at 9:02 AM and asked the board to send any website updates that need to be done to her.
Secretary’s Minutes of the last meeting Sept. 3, 2022 were presented. Motion to approve by Ed Z. Seconded by Dave D. Unanimously approved.
Treasurer’s Report presented by Jeff Z. (attached) About 72% of people have already paid their 2023 bill. We have more income than expected due to all the road fees from all the new construction. We have plenty of money and are on budget. Motion to approve Val Z. Seconded Dave D. Unanimously approved.
Road Commissioner’s Report: FYI Kim Sorrell is an arborist and has offered to help people prune to tops of their trees for views. We are ready for winter. Info for snowmobile trails is on the Winter Guideline on the website. Access to the lake was discussed. (Cross from the Farmhouse to Lakeview Drive then down across the LCWI lot, staying to the North of the spruce trees to cross to the HOLA Waterfront.)
If you see any problems with the roads or new construction let Dave or Millie know.
Waterfront Report: (attached) Docks are out. All kayak racks have been assigned and are full. Ed is working on assigning the boat slips. It was mentioned that several owners have asked about an “easy to walk” way to the lake without having to navigate big riprap rocks. Suggestions were made to place it beside the dock. Also, if there is a second ladder that it be placed halfway out for shallow water access for kids. Nile Brook Way is a HOLA Road so improvements will come out of the Road Budget.
Ad Hoc Committee to review HOLA Rules, Policies & and to develop Procedures/fines to address non-compliance issues was created. MSP unanimously. Larry Malone will be convenor of the Ad Hoc Committee. Committee members are: Dave Arthurs, Butch DeSanctis, Mickey Haas, Millie Hoekstra, Jocelyn Kinlock, Mike Leclerc, Larry Malone, Mary-Ellen Moroney, Ben Wetherill
They will review and bring suggestions to the board for approval. FYI the Town of Rangeley is creating a Short-Term Rental Ordinance. This could also be reviewed by the committee for incorporation into HOLA.
Motion to adjourn MSP unanimously.
Next meeting Jan. 14th, 2023 at 9 AM RFA Lakeside Theater.
