Treasurer's Report: 2010 dues increased by 3%, per bylaws, to $73.95. Homeowners wishing to pay $100 to offset beach costs are encouraged to do so. Submit payments to Alice Cords, 3000 Silvern Lane, 671-2914



Swing at beach: Mia Martinez was accidentally stuck in the child swing at the beach. The Bellingham Fire Department came and cut her out of the swing. The swing has been repaired.



Dock Fees:

Dry dock fees are $25.00 per boat. This includes all small boats stored on the racks or in the vicinity of the racks.

Wet dock fees are $125.00 per slip. Proof of insurance is also required to moor on the new dock. Please contact Dock Managers Ken Cords or John Martinez with questions regarding moorage or dry dock storage.



Beach Maintenance :

The sand area on the beach was rototilled by Rich Kittenger and Adam Foy, Total cost for equipment rental was $108.50. Rich and Adam requested reimbursement of $50.00, the board approved $75.00.



Nancy Mendelsohn purchased 10 new chairs for the beach, total cost $160.00. In addition to the chairs, dump fees and miscellaneous materials for the beach clean up were also paid for. Total cost for chairs, dump fees and miscellaneous materials was $220.38.



Thanks to an advertisement on Craigslist all of the wood from the old dock was removed at no cost to the neighborhood. What a great deal!



New Dock:

Our new dock is now in and has been christened! It looks great, be sure and thank Ken Cords for his tireless efforts and creative problem solving. The company that built the dock was unable to service clients due to economic conditions. Ken was extremely creative and was able to complete the installation process without the aide of the dock builder. Again remember to thank Ken. To view photos of the dock installation go to our community website:

SILVER SHORES HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION
BOARD OF DIRECTOR'S MEETING, 4/26/10


Present: Helen Dorn, Jim Merfeld, Nancy Mendelsohn, John/Susan Kane-Ronning, Alice/Ken Cords, Judy Dodd, Pat Baker, Tara Moncrieff


Secretary Report: Please see attached updated directory and beach rules
All minutes will now be distributed via e-mail. If your e-mail changes, please let Susan Kane-Ronning know at oceanpeak@comcast.net or silvershoreshomeownersassn@gmail.com

Treasurer's Report: 2010 dues increased by 3%, per bylaws, to $73.95. Homeowners wishing to pay $100 to offset beach costs are encouraged to do so. Submit payments to Alice Cords, 3000 Silvern Lane, 671-2914.

Annual dues and dock fees need to be paid as soon as possible. Boats will be placed on the new dock based on payment of dues. Boat owners will need to provide proof of insurance. Due to insurance rules, no one can tie to a bouy or the dock without approval. Please contact the dock managers if you have questions, Pat Baker or John Martinez.

Dock Replacement: The dock will be installed June 14/15th. Most homeowners have paid their dock fees, and your timeliness has been appreciated. The dock would not be possible without your support! There will be a $3,000 shortage for the dock. Boat owners may pay their dock fees ahead for one or more years to offset costs. Those who pay for subsequent years will have their dock fees frozen.

Due to the Silver Beach land clearing ordinance, NO DRIVING ON THE BEACH UNTIL JUNE 1ST. FINES FOR VIOLATIONS ARE $30,000!!!

Beach Clean-up: Thanks to all the helpful neighbors who showed up on May 1st! The beach looks great! Broken items were taken to the dump. The rototilled sandbox looks amazing and has already attracted several kids. The wood was advertised on Craigslist and is now gone! We have several new chairs!Do Not leave your personal belongings at the beach, items not claimed will be disposed of.
Several neighbors who were unable to help at the clean-up have asked about ways to help at the beach. There is a pile of brush in front of the campfire that still needs to be picked up, and the tables/benches need to be painted.

Beach Reservations: Send reservation requests to Susan Kane-Ronning at silvershoreshomeownersassn@gmail.com, or oceanpeak@comcast.net, or 676-7436. Include date, number in party and reservation times, and any special information as highlighted in the beach rules.

Next Meeting: 7 PM, June 1st. Merfeld/Anderson's.

BEACH RULES 2010

Silver Shores Home Owner’s Association
Beach Rules – 2010 Season
BEACH SECURITY and ACCESS:
• A homeowner must accompany guests at the beach.
• The beach combination is confidential. Do not give the combination to non-members.
• Members are asked to help the beach manager(s) and board by politely asking unknown people if they are with a homeowner. (Please don’t feel offended if you are the one being asked.)

BEACH USE AFTER HOURS:
(Background: The beach has been vandalized, used for campfires late at night & sometimes strewn with broken bottles & trash in the morning. Beach fires allowed until 10pm on weekdays and 11pm on weekends.
• To use the beach after these hours, contact the beach manager(s) before 10pm (voice message is sufficient).

RESERVING the BEACH:
• Groups of ten or more must contact the beach manager(s) to schedule an event.
Reservations for more than 45 people, or specific issues, such as driving a vehicle onto the beach, entertainment, etc. must be approved by the beach manager/board.
• Do not make a reservation for beach use unless dues are paid.
• During the event, leave space for other members to use the beach, dock and picnic area. Specifically, the reserved area includes the gazebo and first 2 picnic tables.
• Leave no trace of use after the event. Specifically, follow these cleaning guidelines:
o Clean the bathroom – toilet, sink, floor, and empty garbage
o Empty all garbage cans used and put in new liners (located on the bench)
o Deposit the garbage in your personal trash cans, not in the community trash cans.
o Separate any recyclables in the garbage and place in the recycling bins – do not mix.
o Pick up / clean up all of your belongings.
o Pick up any debris including cigarette butts.
o Replace goose fences
• Leave the beach as you would like to find it.

BEACH ETIQUETTE:
• The goal of the association is to maintain a family friendly atmosphere at the beach. Gatherings with excessive drinking and loud behavior belong elsewhere.
• Broken glass is a particular hazard at the beach. Please be aware of every bottle and make sure it gets to its proper disposal place.
• Dog owners are responsible to make sure their dog is not a nuisance to other beach users. If dogs bother other beach users, please leash them. Please pick up dog poop and place it in the trashcan away from the picnic area (bags available there also). Do not pitch into the city area – no fecal matter in lake.
• Boats should approach the dock area very slowly when swimmers are in the water.

RENTERS:
(Background: Renters have been heavy users of the beach area and sometimes have not been made aware of the beach rules. This section of the beach rules is to assure that the beach rules are known and to clarify the chain of responsibility concerning landlords and renters.)
• The landlord / homeowner is responsible for the behavior of the renters.
• All communication between the SSHOA and the renters will be through the landlord. The only exception will be simple coordination where there is no dispute.
• If the landlord is not available to coordinate communication between SSHOA and the renters during a dispute, the renters will lose access to the beach until the landlord becomes involved and the dispute can be resolved.
• Beach access is denied to a household of more than three unrelated adults, in violation of the city ordinance prohibiting such households.
• Renters are encouraged to come to the annual beach cleanup party to help and get to know members.
