Presidents Message November 2017

Hello Neighbors,

I don’t know about everyone else but I am ready for some cooler weather! It has been a long hot and eventful summer thus far especially with all the debris left behind from hurricane Irma. Slowly our neighborhood is starting to get back to normal as the crews continue their debris clean-up efforts.

The IOP Board wishes to receive feedback from our members about raising the yearly dues. We have not had an increase in membership dues for many years. In order to continue improvements and maintain the events throughout the year that are free to our members we feel that it is necessary to increase membership dues. Our yearly expenses have gone up and in order to not have to dip into our emergency fund set aside for any repairs to restrooms, well, septic system, boat dock or any other unforeseen events. Our operating expense will increase because we need to insure our dwelling at the South Park in which are: Bathrooms, Pavilion, Boat Dock and Well Enclosure. The increase in membership dues will be discussed at the next board meeting scheduled for Tuesday November 7th at 7:00pm at the South Park. Please join us with any suggestions or concerns.

Please be aware that the lake water level is still extremely high so please be considerate when on the lake while operating your watercraft.

On another note there have been reports of people speeding and passing the school buses. Please be considerate and drive safe.

Thank you,

Terry Gardner
IOPPOA President
