Parks Maintenance
New Key/Decal System for Moosehead Park (i.e. Boat Ramp) –
May 19, 2008
As discussed in detail at this past annual meeting, we will
be changing the boat ramp key/padlock and implementing a boat trailer decal
system May 19, 2008.
Boat Launch Key Change:
Because of the increasing number of trespassers on Lake James and the
key/padlock not being changed in “several years” it has been decided that it’s
time to change the boat launch padlock/keys. We have spent considerable time
investigating the right security system so that the padlock should not have to
be changed again. After discussing our needs with various locksmiths around the
state, as well as exploring the Internet, we have selected a high security
system. The system has a unique key that cannot be reproduced or duplicated,
with the padlock being pick and drill resistant as well.
Boat Trailer Decals:
As addressed in newsletters and the Annual meeting, 75% of
the boats stopped by the Sheriff’s Dept. and Lake James Marine Patrol for
various violations are either guests of the Association members or unauthorized
boaters/trespassers. In a better effort to monitor guests and trespassers, we
are restricting Moosehead parking (vehicles and trailers) to Association members
only (i.e. guests will be able to launch vessels but will not be able to leave
their trailers at Moosehead Park). As such any trailer parked at Moosehead
without a decal will be towed from the Park at the owner’s expense. This decal
action will properly identify who is legally parked at Moosehead and also ensure
that Association member’s vehicles and trailers do not get towed. The decals are
waterproof and have an extended life of three to four years - Note we have
selected this time frame as owners sell/move and we don’t want decals lasting
forever.
Boat Launch Key and Decal Procurement Details:
As the LJPOA does not have sufficient money to fund this action, all Association
members that require a boat launch key and decals, will be able to purchase a
key and up to 3 decals at a cost of $10.00 per owner (each additional decal is
$1.00 each) with a lost or replacement fee of $50.00. Commercial (Harvey’s,
Spicer’s and etc) keys will be issued at a fee of $50.00 with a replacement fee
of $250.00. If any commercial operator misuses the key, it will be forfeited.
Only one key/decal package will be issued per owner regardless of the number of
lots owned. If multiple lots are owed and any are sold, the purchaser of the lot
should contact the Association Board to purchase a key/decal package. Also, its
highly encouraged that if and when you sell your property, that you pass on your
key to the new owner as they will be charged the replacement fee of $50.00.
As addressed earlier all owners are entitled to receive a new key packet (one
key and up to 3 decals). The key/decal package will be issued starting Saturday
April 5th and every Saturday thru May 10th from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm at the pole
barn by the dam. Please bring your trailer/watercraft registrations as no decals
will be issued without proper watercraft registrations and signature. Also note
we will be recording your trailer license plate number for future reference.
Payments will be accepted via check or cash (no credit cards) from Lake James
owners who are not delinquent in their dues payment.
Future key/decal needs, after these dates, will be handled on an individual
basis by contacting either Jim Preczewski at 989.366.5536
(jpreczewski@I2k.com
or Al Walker at 989.366.0212 (al.walker@core.com).
Your Board hopes that you understand the need for this action and that you will
support this effort to improve boater traffic and reduce unauthorized
boating/fishing on Lake James.
LJPOA Board of Directors
Lake James Memorial/Honorarium Project
Celebrating life, honoring loved ones and memorializing those with whom we
have shared much is the foundation of the Lake James Memorial/Honorarium
Project. The project offers an opportunity for you to remember those who have
gone on, to honor those with whom we have shared something special, and to
express gratitude to those from whom we have received much.
As a resident, family member or guest you can select an item from the LJPOA
Board Approved item list. Your selected item will bear a personalize plaque or a
message to honor your beloved family member or friend. Items have been carefully
selected for the durability of the item, the items appearance, as well as the
items ability to improve and nurture the natural beauty of our Lake James. For
example these items will include, garden plaques, stepping stones, decorative
benches, address plaques and “great thought rocks”. Additional items will
include message centers that will be placed at Moosehead and Hazelwood Parks,
picnic tables and park benches. Some selected items will be available for
placement on your property while other items have been selected for the
enhancement of our communal Lake James Parks.
Pets are part of many of our families and the loss of a beloved and cherished
pet is extremely difficult. Memorializing your pet, honoring them for providing
unconditional love and companionship with the selection of an item inscribed
with a fitting tribute can help nurture Lake James and serve as a reminder to
you of their faithfulness.
Our Lake James has been the focal point of lake living at it’s best for more
than 45 years. Most if not all of you have enjoyed a summer evening boat ride at
sunset, taught your children and grandchildren to fish, awed at the site of a
spring fawn striding curiously behind her mother. You have shared laughter and
stories around a campfire, long walks with family and friends and morning coffee
on the deck. Birthdays, anniversaries, retirement, weddings, graduations and
other joys of life have been celebrated at or on Lake James. Sadly enduring the
passing of those we love and cherish has also been part of life here in our
northern Michigan community. Honor those memories and those people and pets with
a purchase of one of the approved items. A portion of that purchase will be
contributed to the Lake James Property Owners Park Fund. Your purchase will
assist in the necessary maintenance and improvement of our parks and at the same
time your purchase will Memorialize or Honor a beloved family member, friend or
cherished pet.
