Silvershores Homeowners
Board Meeting September, 2010
Attendance: John Kane-Ronning, Ken Cords, Alice Cords, John Martinez, Pat Baker, Nancy Mendelson
Treasurers Report
· Silvershores treasurer reports that 100% of the assessments for construction of the new dock have been paid in full. Congratulations to our neighborhood!
· 33 of the 34 homes in the neighborhood have paid annual dues. As a reminder all dues, present and past must be paid in full before using community common areas. These dues pay for very basic upkeep and maintenance of our common areas.
Dock Report
The new dock is in and has passed final inspection by the city. This has been a major accomplishment for our neighborhood. Below are just a few of the final details that have been completed recently.
· Solar lights have been installed on the decking
· A new concrete pad for gangway entrance and support has been poured and gangway attached
· New sod has been laid at the dock entrance.
· New post caps have been installed
· New benches have been ordered for the end of the dock
· No wake buoys have been re-anchored off shore
· New Moorage buoy anchors have been prepared for next spring
Thank you as a neighborhood, for all of your support in the completion of this much needed improvement. An additional thank you is extended to all who were able to contribute time and energy toward the completion of the dock. It was truly a community project that we can all enjoy for years to come.
Dry Dock (small boat storage)
Many small boats remain on our dry dock racks without storage payment. If you have a small boat stored at the beach you are required to pay the storage fee in a timely manner. We have only received payment for 13 of the 22 vessels stored on the racks this year. Beginning next spring all boats on the racks will be tagged for identification. Unclaimed boats will be stored on the lawn by the entrance gate for 30 days. If the vessel remains unclaimed or fees remain unpaid the vessel will be advertised and sold with proceeds going into our community general fund.
Beach Closure
The bathrooms at the beach will be closed and the water turned off at the end of September. Garbage and recycling services will also be stopped for the season. If you use the beach please be prepared to remove you own trash and recycling.
Miscellaneous items
Geese: Our goose fencing disappeared for a few days earlier this fall and the geese returned enmasse. Please replace the fencing if you remove it during the day. We are also purchasing a special motion activated sprinkler called a scarecrow that is designed as a goose deterrent. As always, vigilance on the part of everyone is by far the best deterrence.
The board would like to extend a special thank you to Ann Stevenson and Michael Berres for re-staining our pagoda building; it looks great and is ready for another winter. We would also like to thank our newest neighbor, Mary Abshire for donating the silt fencing materials we needed to complete the concrete work for our docks gangway. We would like to thank the Cords for taking the lead in the organization, management and construction of our new dock. Lastly, the community board should be recognized for having the courage and patience to undertake this multi-year task.

The new dock is fully paid for excluding approximately $250.00 for pile caps
One homeowner owes $1600 in dock assessment which add to our general fund when collected.

v The board approved payment to Alice Cords (treasurer) for ongoing supplies and
copying costs as needed.
Dock
v Moorage buoys will be reset now that the new dock is complete. We will have 3
moorage buoys in addition to the 10 slips available on the dock. A $75.00 fee will be charged for moorage on a buoy.
v Dock slip selection was reviewed and a protocol was established.
1. Moorage fees must be paid in full by June 1st to participate in the dock slip lottery for that year.
2. Homeowners requesting moorage after June 1st will be allocated dock space or buoy assignment on a 1st come/1st serve basis.
3. Individuals who prepaid dock moorage fees to offset the cost of the dock will be granted dock moorage and will participate in the slip lottery until their prepayment funds expire.

be sold.
v The gangway for the new dock has a very nice railing for everyone’s safety.
Climbing on these rails is prohibited, please remind members of your household and guests to not climb on the railings. The water below is shallow and the rails will be slippery when wet. If you see others climbing kindly remind them of this new dock rule.
v Our new dock is a floating structure. It is very dangerous
to swim underneath the new dock. The water is shallow and the dock moves with the wave action. There is absolutely no swimming underneath the dock. Again, please remind members of your household and guests of the dangers regarding swimming under the dock.

(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.
