From the desk of the HOA board...
A note from our president...
Happy New Year! Reflecting on our past year, we have had some challenges, but have stayed our course and our neighborhood is well maintained and looks great. As a real estate agent, I hear from other agents how well our community looks and the impact our maintenance contributes to the equity and quick sale of homes in Orchard Lake.
While we realized the goals set before us in 2023, the "storm" added a few items to our list. Some items projected to be completed in the future, were completed in 2023 due to storm damage. In addition to the unprecented and unexpected projects we forged ahead and 2024 looks promising for planning and achieving our goals.
Hard to believe it's already February and we are gearing up for our annual meeting. It will be held via zoom on Thursday, February 22 at 7:00. The meeting link information is at the end of the article. We still need some slots filled for the HOA Board. Please contact PMI and nominate yourself...
With that in mind - I will not be returning to serve on the board this year. My term is up and while it has been a great learning experience and I have enjoyed serving - it's time for some fresh ideas and leadership.
Our meetings are held on the third Thursday of almost every month and generally last about an hour. Our meeting minutes are posted on our website https://www.orchardlakecommunity.com/ and on the PMI website: https://pmi.cincwebaxis.com/orchardlake. Please let us know if you would like to volunteer for a committee or have an interest in serving on the board next year.
Your HOA board are volunteers, who receive no incentives, reduction of dues or other monetary compensation or other benefits for their time and effort. Each member volunteers their time performing the duties assigned to us as officers in upholding the covenants and overall maintenance of the community. Like all HOA’s we have a set of governing documents. These include the association’s bylaws, articles of incorporation, and CC&Rs. Such documents contain guidelines on how the board should manage the community. They also typically consist of provisions regarding what the board can and cannot do. These governing documents, second only to the laws of the land, hold the highest authority in an HOA. They dictate the rules and regulations within an association, which both the board and the community members must follow. As the community leaders, the HOA board must make sure to follow the stipulations laid out in the governing documents. They must follow the processes and procedures as prescribed in these documents.
If you have an interest in volunteering, please reach out to any of us with questions or interest. The best way to reach the HOA board is by sending an email to orchardlake30028@gmail.com. Serving the community is a great way to get to know your neighbors and help to keep Orchard Lake a great place to live.
