Pat Achey resigned as Treasurer effective April 1, 2024. Chris Ordal will be the interim Treasurer until the General Meeting in October 2024. Welcome Chris and thank you for volunteering to fill this volunteer position.
The Board did a neighborhood drive around observing properties for possible violation to our CC&Rs and Rules and Regulations. We saw a potential 43 violations, the violations mainly consisted of Parking, Storage, Maintenance of Lots, and animals. Homeowners and renters are being given time to resolve the issues before warning letters are sent. We will do another review of the neighborhood and any violation after May 17, 2024, will receive a warning letter followed by possible fines. All Sea Links Governing Documents can be found at Sealinksbirchbay.org or feel free to contact the board with questions.
