Dear RLCA Members,
We had another long two plus hour Board meeting in November, but it was worth it. We are coming together as a community, with more people volunteering to help.
Several things to report from the November 2023 meeting:
- Jeff Toffer has taken the helm of “Firewise” and is working through seven different state agencies to get the new Dry Hydrant approved and installed this spring/summer. If we can succeed, your insurance rate will drop, and your house may survive a fire.
- Merger: meetings and motions held on 10-3/10-13/10-25 and 11-7 to stop, move forward, and/or post for comment and later vote in Water Associations bid to become a committee of the RLCA. This time around the members will be able to read online the proposed Merger Documents and a contract written for the RWA to allow mutual cooperation should they remain an association.
- Lawsuits: The 2020 Election Appeal suit will be heard by the Appellate Court on December 4th. The court’s decision will be made in the 2024 year. Lake “Realignment of Owners” suit is still on hold.
- Bylaws Committee: Met on November 11th and elected Terry Zoesch and Dan Freis as co-chairs and Jerry Parker as Secretary. This committee is the one to attend and is open to all members. Next meeting is December 2nd at 2pm, Community Center.
- My pet project is the new Email Policy. We ran out of time at the November meeting, and it will be on the March agenda. I will post it on reflectionlake.net for a read and comment period.
- Next Board of Directors regular meeting will be in February or March 2024. Emergency meetings will be planned as needed.
Welcome new members to the lake community and we are sad to see members who have left us involuntarily. As of today, there are seven homes for sale at the lake and soon a new crop of trout fishing enthusiasts will be among us.
Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year are fun times of year at the lake if you are ready for the weather, power outages, ice, and heavy snow. If you see a neighbor in distress stop and help or call someone, we are a caring community.
Sincerely,
Jim Boothby
