That was the scene at the Lake Lorelei Clubhouse on June 12th. The Women’s Club from Lake Waynoka joined us for a fun afternoon of sipping hot tea, nibbling on delicious finger foods and getting to know one another. Following brunch, everyone dressed in their favorite hats and sat back to enjoy the season’s latest fashions. With a flower-laden runway, the Lake Lorelei models surprised their guests with a hilarious fashion show. Each model presented a very literal creation for the season. One guest was heard to say, “ This fashion show featured some of the most entertaining outfits she had ever seen! How will we top this next year at our lake?” To be part of the fun- join us the 1st Thursday of the month at 7PM at the Clubhouse for Women’s Club! Our Next Meeting is Thursday, July 11th.

Some of the best young anglers in the State of Ohio enjoyed a day of fishing on our lake. Harbor Lovin was one of 20 boys to take part the day long event. Youth Bass tournaments are held throughout Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. It was an honor to have this group on our lake.

Eighteen Golfers signed up and played in a mixed scramble format. Participants won prizes in a variety of fun categories. Over all winners were the team of Jane Wyman, Becky Reaves and John Hollatz. Inflatables, Cotton Candy, Hot Dogs, Corn Hole, Face Painting and Cake Walk. Fun was had by all ages. New Life Community Church Led by Pastor Dave Sherwood knows how to throw a Block Party ! July-August 2013 The Legend of Lorelei Page 15 The team of Tommy Iles and Barry Denhan won the Crappie Tournament with 9lbs 3ozs of fish. The largest fish was 1lb2ozs and 12.3 inches long caught by John Lovin Sr. A grand total of 680 fish were caught in 6 hours. Within two hours all 680 fish were cleaned, fried, and enjoyed. Thanks to the members of the Fish Committee, Great Job! It is believed that over 200 Lake Lorelei members and guests sang, danced and grooved to the fantastic Patterson James Band. Wow, what a fun night!!!!! It was so much fun that the Patterson James Band has offered to do a Free Concert on Saturday, July 17 and Saturday August 19. Mark your calendars. Invite friends to dance and sing the night away on the shores of Lake Lorelei.

Now might be the time for families to start designing their winning entrant.

Board Response: We are not building additional boat docks but rather systematically replacing the older unsafe docks. Cove “H” is a good example. With the help of volunteers, this year we built two new docks, Dock 4 and Dock 5. Dock 6 has been partially removed and Dock 7 is scheduled for demolition. Thus, in Cove “H” we have the same number of docks available for 2013 as we had in 2012. There are not enough lots for all of our members to live on the Lake so common areas were set aside to allow everyone access to the Lake. The LLPOA Boat Docks add to this Lake access by allowing off lake members to dock their boats in the common area. The LLPOA Boat Docks are financially self sustaining. The cost to construct the standard two sided LLPOA dock is approximately $1,300.00: Substructure Materials $ 400.00 Substructure Subcontractor $ 400.00 ( Roy Miller ) Decking Materials $ 500.00 Decking Installation $ 0.00 ( Volunteer labor ) Total $ 1,300.00 The current LLPOA Boat Dock rental is $200.00 per side per year which makes for a very short Pay Back period of just over three years. After that, these docks generate revenue for the LLPOA. Once you rent a LLPOA Boat Dock, you have the right to again rent that same dock in future years at the then current rental rate. When you are no longer a member of LLPOA, or do not pay the annual fee, the dock becomes available to other members on a first come first served basis. There are still a few LLPOA Boat Docks available for this boating season. Stop by the Office to reserve one while they last.

How does one go about changing the “rules”? Board Response: Our Governing Documents fall into three groups as to how they can be changed: LLPOA Rules Code of Regulations/By-Laws Covenants/Restrictions LLPOA RULES: Most easily changed are the LLPOA Rules. The LLPOA Rules are formulated by the Board of Trustees and are changed from time to time “by the affirmative vote of the majority vote of a quorum of Trustees serving on the date of the action.” Thus, LLPOA Rule changes do not require a vote of the membership but do require a majority vote of the Board. This vote is taken at a public Board Meeting after a discussion of the proposed rule change.. The Board is currently studying one such member requested LLPOA rule change. CODE OF REGULATIONS/BY-LAWS: The Code of Regulations/By-Laws are changeable “with the approval of the voting members exercising a majority of the voting power of those members voting on the issue.” The Annual Roads Special Assessment and Reserve Fund was added to the to the 2003 Amended Code of Regulations/By-Laws after an approval vote by the simple majority of the voting Association Members in Good Standing. The Board is currently working on a single document which would combine the 1998 Code and the 2003 Amended Code. The resulting 2013 Amended Code of Regulations/By-Laws will require an approval vote by the simple majority of the voting Association Members in Good Standing. COVENANTS/RESTRICTIONS: The Covenants/Restrictions are the most basic “rules” running with the land. The restrictions, conditions, covenants, or agreements set forth in paragraphs 7,8,9 and 10 continue in perpetuity. That is to say, they cannot be changed. Other paragraphs are “changeable only by the affirmative vote of the majority of all Property Owners voting.” Note that all property owners, not just Association Members in Good Standing may vote. All the Governing Documents are available at the LLPOA Office and on the LLPOA web site www.LLPOAohio.com. If you believe that a Governing Document modification would improve our community, you are encouraged to petition the Board of Trustees in writing. You will receive a written response from the Board.

Its purpose is to function as an extra set of eyes and ears on our community. Toward that goal, the committee has created the following short survey.

We have developed a draft and submitted it to the Board of Trustees for their review and comment. Some elements in the draft were questioned and sent back to Committee for a final interpretation. By the end of June, we plan to have the draft posted to the Lake Lorelei website (www.lakeloreleiohio.com) and to have a few hard copies available at the Office. Public meetings will be scheduled in July and August for membership comments and questions. What should you expect from the drafted 2013 Code? 1. A merger of the 1998 Code and the 2003 Amended Bylaws without changing the principles 2. A document in plain English without the legalese 3. A couple of improvements for members that will allow for enhanced processes (i.e. electronic communication) while leaving all existing options in place 4. Elimination of obsolete references (i.e. Lake Lorelei Water Company) What should you NOT expect from the drafted 2013 Code? 1. Changes to dues, fees, or assessments 2. Changes to voting rights and practices 3. Changes to membership rights and privileges 4. Changes to the LLPOA Rules … that is a completely different document The 1998 Code and 2003 Amended Bylaws are complex and the 2013 Code draft is our good-faith effort to bring the material together. Because of the complexity, at the open meetings the Committee will be documenting membership suggestions and/or objections. The sessions are about fact gathering and then taking that information back to committee for final processing. As a Committee we identified some elements of the Code that we believe are outdated or should no longer be part of the LLPOA governance but we are just five individual members of the community. I suspect as you review the draft 2013 Code that you too will find items that you think should be altered. Please share those thoughts with us at the open meetings or directly with me (875-3396 or [email protected]). Our vision is to ultimately present a ballot to the membership that includes a yes or no vote on the 2013 Code plus separate line items for each recommended change that will also be yes or no votes. When it is available, please take the time to review the drafted 2013 Code and then participate in the open meetings. Together we can make this work!

The purpose of these meetings is for the discussion of matters of local government by a General Assembly of the Members in Good Standing, and to give the opportunity to express opinions and ask questions. Such meetings will not be related to any other regularly scheduled or special meetings. June 16, 2013 Town Meeting During the June 16, 2013 Town Meeting several issues were discussed. This is an unofficial summary of the June 16, 2013 Town Meeting. 1. Fireworks 2013 will be headed up by the Board of Trustees. Donations will be collected at the gate from Noon – 9pm. The gates will be open to the public at 6PM. 2. Thank You to BOT for attending Summer Kick-Off events, a great time was had by all. Side note: Jane Wyman, BOT president, was on the winning golf team at the LL Golf Outing. 3. Questions were asked about the formation of the Finance Committee announced at the January BOT meeting. No committee has yet been formed. 4. Algae problems on Lake Grunwald. 5. Fishing on LLPOA properties after 10PM. 6. Unleashed dogs attacking walkers, runners, and bikers. 7. Several concerns were expressed about boating safety, ● The use of wake enhancers ● Lake rules, double and triple tubing, skiing and tubing after dusk ● Boating Safety- Ohio law requires boaters born on or after January 1, 1982, to successfully complete either a boating course or a proficiency exam in order to operate a boat powered by more than 10 horsepower. (Ohio Revised Code 1547.05-1547.052; effective 1/1/2000) Without this course your boating insurance could be null.

Page 30 The Legend of Lorelei July-August 2013 Whereby The Legend of Lorelei encourages individuals to submit articles for publication, any opinion expressed in the article reflects only the opinion of the author and not the LLPOA, the Board of Trustees, official sanctioned club or the staff of The Legend of Lorelei. The following article is solely the opinion of the author. By Bill Herdman One community improvement that has been talked about for years is the development of an alternative entrance—more specifically a rear entrance from Fayetteville-Blanchester Road. With our improving roads under constant pressure, a gate system already implemented, and the price of gasoline in the $4 range … it seems like a perfect time to reopen the discussion. We are forming an exploratory group consisting of representatives from the Fayetteville Fire and EMT, Fayetteville School District, Brown County Sheriff’s Department, Rumpke, LLPOA membership, and LLPOA administration. This group will be charged with documenting public opinion, building statistics on probable usage, predicting improved emergency response times, and estimating implementation costs. What do you think about the idea? Here are some questions to consider and we would like to know your answers so, please, share with us by sending your responses to Bill Herdman, 1245 Eifel Cove, Fayetteville, Oh. 45118.
