Key Issues To Be Discussed At Next Board Meting

There will be multiple key issues, project approvals, and the usual updates and presentations at our next Regular Session Board Meeting on Tuesday, February 9 at 6 p.m. Like the other meetings this year, this meeting will be held virtually through Zoom. Members are encouraged to join and participate in this meeting at vm.clpoa.net. We have made arrangements to ensure we can accommodate everyone on the call. The meeting will also stream live on the Canyon Lake POA Facebook page, @canyonlakepoa. To view the meeting agenda and login information, visit www.clpoa.com/watch. On the day of the meeting, you can find this information easily on the homepage of our website.

Rule Revisions

The meeting will include the reintroduction of a number of 28 Day Reading Board Action Items related to the proposed rule changes listed below. These items were previously introduced during past Board Meetings as 28 Day Rule Revisions. They were tabled for additional revisions based on the member comments received and the subsequent Board discussion. Solicitation of member comments and open discussion will be held on each proposed rule and adjustments in the proposals made if appropriate. These rules will not be approved until the next Board Meeting, in March, to allow the Board to receive additional member comments.

• Recreational Vehicle and Trailer Parking on the Streets
  The Board seeks to clarify the current rule and find a balance between the need to have access to these vehicles while being loaded and unloaded and the impact they have on available parking, traffic flow, and safety.
• Trailer Parking After Sunset
  Based on member requests, the Board seeks to relax the current rule as a means to accommodate the need for overnight trailer parking that includes horse, boat, utility trailers, and any other similar vehicle.
• North Ski Lake Rules
  The Board seeks to find a way to balance the need to provide safe use guidelines and protect the unrestricted use of the Slalom Course by water-skiers while accommodating the growing number of watersports and boats that support them. 

Discussion Related to Signs, Flags, Posters and Banners

To date, the Canyon Lake POA Board has received over 30 emails from more than 20 members related to the volume, appearance, and content of political signs, flags, and banners. All emails received suggested that changes are needed in the rules that would clarify that “signs” include posters, flags, and banners, that time limits be set to maintain the peaceful and welcoming sense of the community, and rules added to avoid unnecessary blight. Simultaneously, contributions to various social media sites continuously declare that it is our member’s right to display whatever they want on their personal property. 

The Board recognizes that Canyon Lake is a diverse suburban community that is transitioning from a vacation and retirement community. The Board sees this as an issue of personal freedom of expression balanced by the desire to maintain community aesthetics. The Board is considering possible additions and changes to our rules related to all types of signs, flags, banners, and posters and is seeking broader insights from our members. The Board Discussion item 7.11 in the Board book includes background information and a series of questions related to the issues under consideration. No rule changes are being proposed at this time. Those will be developed and introduced as 28 Day Readings at the next meeting if appropriate.

Please Participate 

These regular monthly Board Meetings are the primary opportunity for the Board to provide information to the community about their activities, actions, issues under consideration, and openly discuss those issues and seek comment from the members. The Board Book contains a wealth of information that provides related background information and status information that often answers the questions that are asked at the meeting or posted on social media. Please take the time to review the information and communicate your thoughts to us at the meeting or via email to board@canyonlakepoa.com.
