Hickory Lake Campground Cooperative Association

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,

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

As an informational note, any shed over 25 square feet and any deck or platform structure over 32 square feet requires a permit from Aitkin County.

When applying for a permit please follow due process:

• Submit a Request for Lot Alteration to the Board
• WAIT for the boards approval
• The Board will send out a signed & approved Request for Lot alteration WITH a signed Authorized Agent form
• Apply for your permit with Aitkin county

If we forget to send an Authorized Agent form with your approval, just send us a reminder. Following this process creates less work and follow ups by the county offices and the HLCCA Board.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter,
HLCCA Board
