NOTICE OF BOAT RAMP DAMAGE
With the lake down substantially, it was discovered that the left (northern) side of the boat ramp was damaged by the floods. The main ramp is still intact, but the area that was extended has broken off just below the surface. When you launch your watercraft, make sure you stay to the right (South, Alligator Creek) side of the ramp.  Warning signs will be posted.  Due to fluctuating lake levels it is not known when ramp can be repaired.
 
WATERFRONT GATE UNDER REPAIR
The control box to the waterfront gate is in for repair, so the waterfront gate has been opened to allow property owner access. Please be sure that when you are at the lake that your vehicle has the current vehicle sticker, and that guest vehicles have the guest pass hung from the inside rearview mirror. We hope that repairs will be complete this week.
 
BURN PILE TO BE CLOSED FOR SAFETY REASONS
With the current burn ban and large amount of new construction and lot clearing, the community burn pile has become unmanageable and is also a fire and safety hazard. Until further notice the burn pile will be closed and signs will be posted. Property owners (or their contractors) who are found violating this closure will have their lake access revoked.
 
AUG 28TH - LAST CHANCE TO PAY YOUR ASSESSMENTS / ESTABLISH A PAYMENT PLAN
Payment deadline for assessments was April 30th – which was extended to May 30th due to the pandemic. As of mid-August, there are a still a few lots with unpaid assessments and no arrangements for a payment plan. If you have not paid your assessments, you have until August 28th to either make payment or establish a payment plan before being turned over to a collection agency.  Please phone Hill Country Homeowners at 800-998-6721 to discuss your payment options.
 
As many of you know, late and non-payment has been an ongoing issue for Lakeside Beach. The new management company has beenable to be more proactive in collections. Not paying your dues on a timely basis puts a burden on all property owners. The Association uses annual assessments to pay for utilities, insurance, property taxes, road repair & maintenance, grounds maintenance, building maintenance, gate maintenance, pool maintenance, accounting and tax preparation, mailings and invoicing, and other administrative costs. 
 
Thank you to all who have paid in a timely fashion.
