RWPOA Board Meeting
October 3, 2026
Meeting Notes
Membership / Attendance
8 of 9 Board Members attended. See Attachment I
Beth Boyle will eventually replace Joan as Treasurer
Bob Fellows and Doug Harrison are looking for replacements
Treasurer’s Report – Joan
Joan Provided a Treasurer’s Report (Attachment II)
80K$ in discretionary funding available for Dock maintenance projects
We added 20K$ this year. With normal expenses, we can plan to save 15k$
CD was increased to obtain interest on savings
Transfer fees were implemented last year at $1000 per lot.
Mail Boxes – Dave
Orange post office to provide replacement locks for identified problem boxes that they still own. The boxes we added are our responsibility
Docks and Common Area – All
Dave’s work; met with LKA docks for scoping estimates
Ramp replacement $31000– permitting fees (about $5000 - exceeds budget approved at Annual Meeting.) Project will be deferred
A ramp design change will entail a permit and a 7 month delay in any project.
Alternative scope involving placing new ramp on top of existing ramp was discussed.
That alternative would lose at least 5 inches of depth which we can’t tolerate with existing low lake level
Docks:
Alternatives are being reviewed with potential contractors
Recent best estimate was $240K
$6500 to get rid of old ramp
Dave replaced a 20 ft section – found a bad support post
Changes in materials:
Didn’t use stainless steel screws when we did replacement – existing screws rotting out – Need to use flashing tape
Don’t put in posts above dock level, eliminate stepdown to dock
Pavers instead of wood and use of rock wall are potentially better alternatives than direct replacement
Alternatives which Dave will discuss with residents before the annual meeting:
1. Special assessment of $2k/lot to allow for a major project 2. Raise dues by $250/yr and do project when funding available 3. Maintain philosophy of maintenance as necessary with existing funding mechanisms
Fellows observation – other docks are in better shape but dues are higher. Assessment or dues increase is eventually inevitable
Kyle – stringers should be done at same time as dock replacement. Raises the cost incurred by $2500 per slip for slip owners
New Business
Kayak storage facility – not to be installed; locking is complicated
Stolen gas caps are a problem
Volunteers obtained for gardening at the entrance
Storm Damage
A couple of trees came down
Another was seriously damaged
Remove stumps in open area
$1600 estimated without stump removal tree portion in the woods
$3000 with stumps removed. Cathy will follow up with tree removal contractors
