Announcements

There will be a scheduled Board Meeting from 10:00 am until Noon on September 25, 2021. It will be held at the Camp Horizon Building.

I would like to thank all people that came to the back gate and helped with clean up efforts on Friday :

Shah Kahn from Borderview lawns for providing tools and labor.

Greg Lee for his labor

Kelly Elford and his family for their time and efforts

Sandy Lahn for sharing her tools and efforts.

We hauled off a large trailer of brush and grass that were removed.

Bud Yost for the idea and support of the project.
Job well done by neighbors!

The NGCD paving project will start on or about July 26, 2021. I expect it to be quicker than WGCD went last year. The people most affected will be the neighbors of Saw Grass Way and the homes just inside the front gate. Finding temporary parking in Wedgewood Court and down WGCD is one option or just past 4763 NGCD down to the small area just before turning onto EGCD. I will be blocking the front gate area by about 7AM on the 26th of July. Equipment will be arriving to start the road grinding in the morning. If paving does not happen on the 26th I would assume it will be the following day. It should cool that day until the following morning, and all will be normal after that. Any questions, please feel free to call me, Steve at (907) 738-7619. I would be happy to answer your questions. Also, I will be walking Saw Grass Way talking to neighbors before the project starts.

Thanks,

Steve Skannes

Sea Links Board

All community members have recently received 2 different mailings. 

The first mailing was a board approved mailing explaining the needed changes due to Covid-19 and asked for people to come forward to volunteer for election to the Board of Directors. This mailing was to help community members understand the difficulty the board is facing regarding in person meetings and to offer up a legal solution regarding voting for future board committee members and the upcoming revised annual general meeting. The cancelation of the in person AGM and the decision to not hold a zoom style meeting were taken after many discussions and following legal counsel from the association attorney. This mailing was an approved letter from the board of directors and is in line with the guidelines of the CC&R’s.  

A second mailing, sent by a homeowner in the community, was not approved or sent from the Board of Directors.  The mailing seeks to undermine the legitimate process of voting for Board members as outlined in our governing documents. Worse, their actions exposed Sea Links to additional charges, as they are using Birch Bay Tax and Accounting as their personal mail stop and secretary. Birch Bay Tax and Accounting is the Sea Links accountant, they are not a post office box, and they are not the Sea Links secretary. 

While it is completely within their rights to contact other members of the community regarding changes to the bylaws, the Board has been approached by many within the community who have expressed anger and frustration at receiving their mailing. Especially as they make many accusations which are either false or misleading. We encourage all homeowners to voice their opinion; however, homeowners are under no obligation whatsoever to respond to a mailing from a individual member. Additionally any costs to the community will be billed directly to them for payment, as they have no authority to bind the Board, or have the community pay for their personal grievances.

We look forward to sending out the Annual notices this coming week. Inside, there will be information on the budget and several items to vote on related to the budget. We will also send out a voter pamphlet to give all homeowners information on those who have expressed interest in serving on the board, enabling all homeowners to make an informed decision of who gets to serve Sea Links. 

Should you have any questions or would like to still submit for consideration as part of the board please email us at sealinksboard@gmail.com or contact a Board member.  We are happy to respond to any questions you may have.

Regards,

Sea Links President

Joe Black
