Special Election – Lynne officially resigned

• Lynne – Thank you to the association membership for your support over the years and help with the Lake District, implementation of the Lake Management Plan. Very rewarding working with everyone and getting to know everyone from role as President. Thank you to Board Members: Jay B, Jay G, Nick B; new board members may be selected at the start of the next President’s term, if they so choose.
• Nominations
  • Nick B nominated Teague O
    • Feels that Teague is an ideal choice given his decades of familial ties to the lake
  • Lynne – Appreciated Teague’s initiative in asking questions about the role of President ahead of time; seconds Nick’s sentiments of Teague’s dedication to the lake given his ties
  • No other nominations presented
• Robert’s Rules

      • Motion to approve: Gary H; Second: Lauren G
      • All in favor (resounding)
• Gordon H – Thank you, Lynne, for your 3 great years of successfully filling the large shoes that Mary A had left; great job with lake management, getting Lake District passed. 
  • Does Teague have a vision for the lake?
  • Teague – Maintaining the lake treatment, keep it going with the understanding that costs will inevitably go up; important to build up a “war chest” for funds. Effective use of funds to continue with treatments, as well as other means of continuous improvement (surveys, mapping, etc).; continue to meet and hopefully exceed the high bar set by Lynne B and Mary A. 
  • Lynne – Looking back at the KLCA leadership history, there has been layered, continuous improvement that has gotten the lake and the association to where it is today; feels good about accomplishments over last 3 years, good opportunity for a new leader to take over.
• Motion to amend May 2026 vote to extend interim Presidency from 13 months to 14 months, to start interim Presidency immediately following June meeting, not to be included in standard term limit.
  • Motion to approve: Kelly M; Second: Jacqueline

ROUNDTABLE

Questions/Concerns/Comments

• Tad K – What was the issue with the Town Board and the lake district funds?
  • Lynne – There was a delay in releasing the funds; Town Board had questions and subsequently released funds after Lynne B, Kelly M, and Nancy L attended a town meeting and addressed their questions and concerns; Lynne is confident that we have a process in place going forward that will meet their needs in understanding how the money will be spent.
  • Terry – Does the town have oversight over how this money is spent?
  • Lynne – They have oversight to ensure monies are spent on intended uses; feel free to inquire with Kasoag neighbors and Town Board members, Vince C and Phil S, with any questions about the Town Board process; Going forward, KLCA has committed to providing the prior year financial report in the annual newsletter that goes out in the first quarter of the year. This affords all Lake District households the opportunity to review financials, not just website visitors and/or meeting attendees.
