During the meeting we will be providing our normal updates on HLA finances, waterfront, recreation, and roads we have a few other important topics that we will be addressing at this meeting:
- Board Elections - we have 4 board terms that are coming to an end in 2021 - President (2-year term), Vice-President (1-yr remaining on this term), Secretary (2-year term), and a Director (3-year term) role. If you are interested in running for one of these roles or have a nomination of someone in the community, please let us know by emailing Secretary@Hiddenlakeassociation.com. As a reminder - these are volunteer roles that require several hours of work each month and the required time flexes by season in the case of the Director role based on their responsibilities.
- Bylaws Revision Vote - at our June 2020 Drive-thru Member Meeting the Board and Bylaws Committee shared two versions of updated Bylaws that primarily addressed questions around real estate agents and their involvement on our Board of Directors. The intent was for these revisions to be voted on at our August 2020 Budget Meeting. At our August 2020 Budget meeting the decision was made to hold off on voting until the June 2021 Member Meeting. Since that time, the Bylaws Committee has reviewed, simplified, and strengthened the proposed revisions to include an Ethics Policy for Officers and Directors that applies to all HLA Board Members instead of specifically targeting only real estate agents. You can find a copy of the newly proposed bylaws attached below, on our website, and posted around the community (at the the entrance of the community, at the entrance to the Waterfront, and at the Pool House). We have also put together an information web page to provide more history and context on the proposed revisions since August 2019 - you can find that HERE (2021 PROPOSED BYLAWS REVISION).

4/28/21 - Camper/Temporary Seasonal Homes Reminder
Our Restrictive Covenants do not allow the use of trailer, modular, mobile, or otherwise temporary homes without the written permission of the HLA Board. Permission for campers or other "Temporary Seasonal Homes" is only granted to members who are actively working on and demonstrating progress towards building their permanent home and is granted only on a seasonal basis from May 1 through November 1 each year.
In the past, members seeking this permission have had to wait for the next HLA Board Meeting to be approved but in an effort to expedite this process, we have recently moved this process online. If you own lot in the HLA and would like to have permission to use a camper or other temporary seasonal home on your lot this summer while you actively building a permanent home, please e-mail Secretary@hiddenlakeassociation.com for more information.

4/15/21 - Plowing
Hi everyone - We are expected to get up to 10” of snow starting at midnight tonight. Because the roads have not yet firmed up from our mud season, and because the anticipated temperatures are above freezing for snow, our plowing contractor is recommending to not plow until we hit a large accumulation (4-5 inches) on the roads. They’re concerned if they plow continuously like they do in the winter, it will do damage to the roads.
Please be aware of this and plan accordingly, and email the road director at roaddirector@hiddenlakeassociation.com and/or any other board member to alert us if you feel a road is approaching impassable. We will ask the plowing company to dispatch a truck.
Be safe!
