Pickleball Courts Resurfacing Project

The pickleball courts will be closed in phases from Monday, May 11, through Friday, May 22, as part of a resurfacing project. At least two courts will remain open at all times during this period; the full schedule is available at the Pickleball Courts Resurfacing Project page.

Resurfacing rejuvenates the courts, improving playability and overall performance while addressing cracks, surface wear, and fading. This process also helps extend the lifespan of the courts, which typically require resurfacing every three to five years to maintain quality and durability.

Court availability can be viewed online through the pickleball cam.

Take a moment to revisit The Algae Problem, where you can learn how golden algae differs from green algae and cyanobacteria, and why fish deaths can occur even when the water appears clear.
 
You can also explore Nutrients: The Silent Drivers of Algae to see how everyday sources like fertilizers, pet waste, soaps, and stormwater runoff contribute to nutrient levels that fuel algae growth and impact oxygen in the water.

Election

It's Election season! Because there are only two candidates for two open seats, the election will proceed by acclamation. Members will not vote on candidates this year; however, the ballot still includes measures that require member voting.

Ballots were emailed or mailed on Monday, April 13. For electronic ballots, please check your Spam or Junk folder and look for an email from Third Party Voting ([email protected]). A ballot box at Blue Bird Hall is available for collection of paper ballots. Paper ballots should be mailed no later than Wednesday, May 6, or delivered to the the ballot box at Blue Bird Hall no later than 5 p.m. on Tuesday, May 12.

- Ballot Measure -
IRS Revenue Rule 70-604

The IRS Revenue Tax Ruling 70-604 allows associations to avoid a tax consequence on any inadvertent excess member income that is applied to the following fiscal year assessment when filing a tax return Federal Form 1120.

This IRS Ballot Measure is considered an annual industry standard to allow for clear tax filing authorization should the Board decide to apply excess income to the following year's assessment.

- Ballot Measure -
Membership Quorum

This Membership Quorum measure would amend the Canyon Lake POA Bylaws to change the definition of membership quorum for elections. If approved, the change allows the total number of valid votes received by the designated election day to constitute a quorum. Meaning that quorum will always be achieved, regardless of the number of votes received, thus preventing membership meetings from being adjourned for lack of quorum.

The current bylaws require one-third of the voting power to constitute a quorum. Previous elections that did not meet quorum have resulted in adjournments, which cost additional time and resources.

- Ballot Measure -
Majority of Membership Voting Power for Sale of Common Area

This measure would amend the Canyon Lake POA Bylaws to require a majority of the membership's total voting power for the sale of any common area. If approved, the Canyon Lake POA would need at least 2,401 Lots voting to approve to sell any common area.
Visit Election Page

- Ballot Measure -
Tract 3961 CC&R Amendment

This measure would amend Tract 3961 (Fairway Estates) CC&Rs to change the 20-foot minimum parking setback from curb parking restriction for travel trailers, camper units, boat trailers, or other recreational vehicles to a 5-foot minimum parking setback from the curb.
