MEMBER ACTIVITY:

reported that the membership drive has maintained its momentum. To date, there are 137 LDCA members. Jim has several grants of authority that were
submitted with no payment and several payments that were submitted with no
grant of authority. He will contact said
property owners to complete missing payments and/or documentation.
AQUATIC
LIFE:
Application
has been made for weed treatment.
Treatment of the lake weeds will take place the first week of June.
Karlye
Horton has been in communication with the HCDC attorney to finalize approval
for raising the lake level. Raising the
level of the lake will have a positive impact on the dredging projections. As of today, there is no update.
PARKS:
There
is much debate regarding the transfer of all seven parks on Lake Diane from
LDPOA to LDCA. In effort to smoothly
transition the parks ownership, LDPOA/LDCA’s attorney has held dialog with
Amboy Township’s attorney, and a Quit Claim Deed was filed transferring the
parks from LDPOA to LDCA. Amboy Township
is under the assumption that LDPOA is no longer in existance, and is prepared
to take jurisdiction of the parks. Their
objective is to close the parks, then post “No Trespassing” signs for a period
of two years, then revisit the situation.
(This includes the playground equipment, the boat launch and shelter
house.) Obviously, we take a strong
stance against this action. At today’s meeting, Roger presented communication
documents between LDPOA/LDCA and LDPOA/LDCA attorney Karlye Horton and Amboy
Township attorney John Lovinger. After a
long discussion, it was decided that we discuss our options with our attorney,
then proceed as directed.
Kim
made a motion that all communication documentation regarding the parks presented
by Roger at today’s meeting be made part of the meeting minutes. Roger seconded the motion. A vote was taken, and the motion passed
unanimously.

Membership:
At the Saturday, October 6th, Lake Diane Community
Association monthly board meeting it was brought to our attention that multiple
community member’s did not receive the 2018 Spring
Newsletter. Upon discussion, there were several reasons we believe
this may have happened: (1) USPS error, (2) the address we have on file for you
may be incorrect, (3) the address we have on file for you may not have a
receptacle. An email will be sent to
property owners on file which will include the newsletter.

Diane Property Owners Association, Lake Diane Community Association and Friends
of Lake Diane and their memberships
