Hickory Lake Campground Cooperative Association

There will be another Owners Special Meeting on July 4th at 10:00 AM in the Gathering Room. The meeting will also be available via Google Meet. If you need the access link to attend the meeting online please contact the Board of Directors for access. This meeting is for members only.

This is a reminder notice that there will be a Special Owner’s Meeting  on Sunday, May 30 at 10 AM at Hickory Lake Campground.  Official notice has been in the board meeting minutes since January, posted on our website.  This is a members only meeting.  If you can not make it in person, we are planning on making this meeting available via google meet.

If you have items you would like on the agenda please let us know.  I can tell you one of the bigger time consuming topics will be discussion on needed changes in our governing documents and rentals and how the members would like to proceed.

The water finally got turned on to the sites on Sunday.  Dave Showed up Sunday afternoon so we were able to leave it on so it is ready for everyone’s use by our official May 1 season opening.

There will still be a few obstacles come this weekend:

•  I have not received word yet that Benson Excavating has been there to repair the boat landing yet. I am sure the rain the last two days has been impeding his arrival.
•  Without the boat ramp repaired the docks are not in yet.
• Our government has not completely relaxed Covid restrictions yet.  Gathering room and game room are still closed for now.  The same protocols as last year are still in place for the laundry and fish cleaning house.
• Shower house is open and will remain open for the season.  We will be closing off parts of it to maintain social distancing to keep the county satisfied.
• Laundry equipment is being scheded with Yde’s to be started up the week of May 10

Caretakers- Dave is back and will be working Wednesday through Saturday.  We hired a new caretaker this year. His name is Mike and he will be working Sunday through Thursday.
Parking

• One vehicle per site
• Park on your own site.
• The three spots in front of the house are going to be posted with reserved signs on them.  These spots are strictly reserved for staff and visitors.

Overflow lot – With the May 1 season start upon us extra boats trailers etc, need to be getting removed.  The lot during the season is for putting your boat and or trailer up there and for visitor/guest parking or a trailer for use specific to your time of stay.  
Owners with seasonal renters please forward the information on to them. Thank you.

See you at the Lake,

Ice officially went out on April 4th. Spring is here!

As part of an ongoing review of current rules, policies, and procedures the board has implemented a pet registration system. Any pet that is to be brought onto the grounds of HLC needs to be accounted for. Please use the form below and email to the board. Any questions can be directed to the Board of Directors email.

Spring is coming, albeit slowly.

We operate a pool that is licensed through the county.  Part of our license requirement is to have certified pool operators.  We are looking to our members to help in expanding the number of community members available with this training.  

Certified Pool Operator(CPO) clases are two 8 hour day classes.  These classes are held in various locations, and some are being offered virtually due to COVID restrictions.  Certified Pool Technician(CPT) classes are available online where you have a 30 day window to complete course materials and tests for certification.  The above classes average around $350.

The board is looking at paying for these classes.  In return we are looking for your help with our pool.  Helping with making sure care takers are properly trained in maintaining our pool.  Periodically helping with pool duties, cleaning and chemical monitoring, on caretakers days off.

If you are interested and would like more details please respond to the board email.

Thank you for considering,

Ed

Based on the majority vote of association input to repurpose the house/store/office space, we are looking for individual(s) to spearhead this project. The task at hand is to come up with plans how to best utilize the space to benefit our community. Work with county planners.  Determine reutilization plans of materials from the current structure.  Demolition process.  

If you are interested in helping out with this please reply to the board email.

Thank you for considering,

Greetings HLC, I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Christmas and New Year! Not everyone reads the minutes posted on our website, so I thought I would take a few minutes and send out a few current updates. Your board members for 2021 are as follows

• President – Ed Gangl
• Vice President – Kurt Wuollet
• Treasurer – Jim Boldenow
• Recording Secretary(Treasurer’s Assistant) – Kathy Duderstadt
• Member at Large – Jim Apple

After review of the ballot questions from this past fall.  By majority vote of the association the board is amending  the rules and regulations to include the site setback language and the storage unit language as voted on.

Be watching for a couple of follow up emails looking for volunteers for certified pool operator training and individual(s) to spearhead the house /store/office project.  Details will be in those emails.

The actual 2021 season and opening of the campground is still a few months out. We continue to monitor the information on COVID-19 requirements.  I imagine around mid April we will be getting out to you the COVID-19 restrictions that will be placed on us as a campground. 

We ALL are hoping for a more normal year!

See you at the Lake,

Ed
