As per our By-Laws, the Board of directors has scheduled a B.P.O.A. meeting for Saturday April 3, 2010. This meeting will be held at the point at 10:00 am. This meeting is for the purpose of holding elections for the 2010 B.P.O.A. Board of Directors.

We will also review the 2009 expenditures and discuss future projects. All property owners who are current on their 2009 access fees are eligible to attend the meeting and run for one of the Board of Directors positions. There will be short meeting for the newly elected Board of Director’s right after the standard B.P.O.A. meeting to elect the 2010 Officers.

New Boat Dock:
The Board of Directors has approved the purchase of a new dock. Anybody who used the dock last year knows the safety hazards we had with the dock. At the time of this publication the fabrication is completed on the new dock and dismantling of the old will take place shortly and the new dock will be installed thereafter. The board has agreed to conduct a silent auction for the entire old dock which will be stacked up near the dumpster. It will be the new owner’s responsibility to have it moved within two weeks after the auction has ended. Any property owner s who is interested in the old dock can place a bid on it by submitting in writing their bid including their name and lot number and mail it to the above address no latter then April 2, 2010. We will announce the winner at the B.P.O.A. Meeting.
In Closing:
I like to thank everybody who has helped and donated their time and effort since I’ve served as President. I Plan on stepping down as President at the April meeting and I will work with the new leadership to ensure there is a smooth transition. I can say that I’m proud of the improvements that we as a Board have made to our community such as; New boat ramp, New boat dock, New signage, Road improvements, Bylaws rewritten that allows for all owners to participate in B.P.O.A. meetings, New website, Bath House Painted and kept clean, and Improved trash capacity. There is still more to improve but it will take all of us working together not just a few to make our community a better place for all of us to enjoy. Tony Mills

Gate System for Beechview:
After several discussions and research done on the cost of an installed gate system, the Board of Directors have agreed to table the issue at the present time. There are a few significant issues that have to be addressed. The main request for a gate system was for security purposes, but after discussions at the board meeting we uncovered 2 other entrances into Beechview from BeechCreek Loop. Anybody could still access Beechview through anyone of those entrances. There are a few other issues regarding breakdowns (Who maintains and overrides the system in the event of a breakdown on any given day or night) and the on-going maintenance cost. Until we can solve these issues we cannot provide you, the property owners the information needed to make an informed decision. We will keep the property owners updated on the gate system as these issues are resolved.

As per our By-Laws, the Board of directors has scheduled a B.P.O.A. meeting for Saturday April 4th, 2009. This meeting will be held at the point at 10:00 am.

Boat Ramp Update:
The boat ramp is still under construction. We have had issues with 2 different contractors that were to complete the project. At this time we lack a 12’ to 14’ section that has to be poured. Tony Clark and Eric Potts agreed to finish this project and have volunteered a lot of time and effort to getting this project done. We have run into a problem with the water levels being too high to complete the concrete work. Worst case is that we will have to pour some crushed gravel between the sections so the ramp can be used this summer and then pour the rest of the concrete in the fall. We will have a useable ramp for this summer. The hump at the end of the ramp is gone and we have added length to the end of the ramp which will help launching your boats during lower water levels. Remember if you do not have a sticker for your boat trailer please see Tony Mills on River Rd or email us with your request. Unauthorized vehicles are subjected to be stickered and towed at the owner’s expense.

October 2008
Property Owners Meeting:
The B.P.O.A. had a meeting for all property owners on Saturday August 23, 2008 and we had approximately 50 people attend. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the board’s ideas for improvements for 2009 to the roads, bath house, boat ramp, access fees requirements for 2009, and etc. We were pleasantly surprised at the number of property owners that attended the meeting and we hope to get more owners involved in improving our community. One of the things that were discussed was the increase in the access fees for 2009. The access fees will be increase to $195 for 2009. As a board it was also agreed that we will not charge the $35 membership fee for joining the B.P.O.A. Once a Property Owners has paid their access fees they would become members of the B.P.O.A. and have rights as a member under our Bylaws. Information on the 2009 access fees which are due starting in January through June 1st, 2009 will be
mailed out in December.

Boat Ramp Update:
We are currently working on making improvements to the boat ramp. By the time you receive this letter we hope that work on the ramp will have begun if Mother Nature cooperates. The plan is to cut out the hump at the bottom of the ramp and leveling out the slope. We are also adding on to the end of the ramp which will help launching your boats during low water levels. Stay tuned for further updates.
