Egg Addling
Volunteers needed…..If you have a nest with goose
eggs on your property, please call the office and we will
put you on a list for our volunteer egg addlers. The
volunteers will be going out, starting April 9th looking
for nests with eggs. When they find the eggs, they oil
them, thereby prohibiting them from developing. If you
remove the eggs yourself, the geese will just lay more
eggs. If you give us permission to go on your property,
allow us to addle the eggs, you will be helping to improve
the water quality of our lake. If we can keep the population of our resident geese down, we will help reduce the
nutrients that they bring into our lake. If we can reduce
the nutrients, we will have a healthier lake. If you would
like to become a volunteer for this project, please call
Theresa in the office at 815-765-2827 x 204.
The Outpost in its current state.
There was a Town Hall Meeting held Sunday, March 13,
concerning what we should do about the current state of
disrepair of our Outpost building, and what a better place
to hold the meeting, than in the Outpost itself. Residents
began arriving in a slow rain, and for many, it was their
first visit to the vintage building. It was clear to see that the
structure had seen better days. We were given a look around
the building, and even though I thought we could patch this
up and maybe paint that, I think the time has come to take
the bull by the horns, and decide what we need to do as a
community to make this something we’re ALL proud of.
A brief history of the building would probably surprise
most of us - it was originally built as a sales office on James
Circle in the early days of Candlewick, and as the development grew it was moved to its present location to serve the
young lake community in a variety of ways, including as a
teen center. It has proved its worth as a rental facility over
the years, with many a family reunion taking place there as
well as Boy and Girl Scout meetings, and the list could go
on.
Rich Witt, a member of our current board, had done
some research into what might work for us, and had some
information of how we might improve the building using
its present foundation, thus reducing the cost a great deal,
as well as new ideas about adding an outdoor pavilion too.
There were many suggestions from the group of what they
would like to see regarding a new building -- there were
some very cool ideas. The design of the new building would
include exterior doors that would allow access to bathroom
facilities for people using the dog park and the other
amenities at Outpost Park. The electrical system would be
revamped, and to meet today’s building codes a sprinkler
system would be installed as well. Lots of good ideas for
this old “diamond in the rough.”
Many people in the group said they have celebrations
coming up in the near future - weddings, graduations,
birthdays, or whatever, and might need a larger place to
hold these events. Candlewick will need places to hold our
usual events: cards, walkers, etc. Many residents said they
would love to hold their events there, but find the current
state of affairs at the Outpost unacceptable. This might be
hard to believe, but sometimes, the Rec Center is kind of
squeezed for room too, and having this additional space
would be a good thing.
Nothing is written in stone right now as to what we
should do regarding this ancient building, but there were
over 45 people kicking around some very good ideas, and
with three board members present, it seems it might be a
doable thing with a very minor dues increase, or perhaps
none at all. We shall see.
Spring Cleanup
It is that time of year to start your spring cleaning. This
does not just mean inside your home. The outside may
need a little TLC as well. Public Safety has been directed
to start issuing warnings, following up with citations for
properties that are not being maintained.
Residents are responsible for the following: removal of
all debris or rubbish from property, preventing the existence
of any other condition that reasonably tends to detract
from or diminish the aesthetic appearance of property, and
keeping the exterior of all improvements constructed on
property in such a state of repair or maintenance so as to
avoid their becoming unsightly.
Take pride in your property. The exterior of your house
must be maintained in an attractive manner. There should
be no significant blistering or peeling of exterior painted
surfaces. Any exterior building components (i.e. siding,
gutters and downspouts, roof shingles, windows and
doors) which are missing, broken or otherwise in a state of
disrepair must be repaired as quickly as possible. If you
have a broken window, replace it. If a screen has fallen out
of a window, remove it. If you have mold on the exterior
of your house, clean it off. Mailboxes, trees, shrubs should
also be maintained.
What happens if you do not maintain your property? If
there are conditions that diminish the aesthetic appearance
of your home or property, a warning will be issued first with
a reasonable time frame to correct the problem(s). Upon reinspection, if the problem has not been corrected, a citation
will be issued. If you are having difficulty correcting the
problem, contact the office and we will try to work with you
to get your issues resolved and your property improvements
made.
Prescribed Burn
Please be advised that there will be prescribed burns
taking place along Candlewick Drive at the bio swale
areas and at Savannah Oaks Golf Course for the prairie
grasses in April. Please watch the sunshine signs for
when dates become available. This work will be scheduled depending on weather and area conditions.
Prescribed burns are a safe way to apply a natural
process, ensure ecosystem health and reduce wildfire risk. Many of our plant and animal communities are dependent
on a regular occurrence of fire for a healthy existence. Prescription burning is appropriate for modifying vegetative communities/structure without the use of herbicides;
accelerating nutrient cycling, spring green-up, sprouting,
forage availability, modifying soil temperatures; and
modifying soil moisture conditions.

President’s Prerogative
by Ken Dillenburg, Board President
I will stick with one subject this month, that being the
Outpost. This piece is long but goes full circle, so please
read to the end.
Three board members along with our Rec Center
manager were charged with the task of developing a plan
of action to handle our deteriorated Outpost building. Many
months have passed, and a lot of meetings and investigation
have resulted in a preliminary drawing of a very attractive
building with an attached pavilion. It would be a great
addition to our facilities. The existing Outpost is really in
bad shape. The inside is not terrible, but if you walk around
the outside and see the rotting siding and roof in need of
replacement, something must be done. It is a true eyesore.
Even the architecture doesn’t fit our community.
The investigative phase is still in progress. A town hall
meeting was held to present options to our property owners
and see how we should progress. We can tear it down and
forget it, we can simply rebuild the building itself, or we
can build it with the attached pavilion. As I type this, I have
no report regarding any conclusions from the meeting but I
understand it was well attended.
It is easy to look at this proposed new building as a
perfect shiny red delicious apple. Just as some were charged
with making the plans, others must look for the worms in
the apple. I for one am conservative, probably to a fault.
Here are some of my concerns.
Yes, we must do something, but when I heard the initial
guesstimate of cost, it was staggering to me. For the full
build, the guess was $350,000. We have been told the
building can be built on the solid existing foundation. The
flooring as well as the wall studs should be salvageable for
the new building. Looking at this from a novice’s viewpoint
I think to myself... if I had the lot paid for and a foundation
in place along with flooring and some studs what kind of a
home could I build for $350,000.00? It would be one heck of
a home. The cost is far more than I had expected. Part of the
problem is it would have to be built to standards of a com-
mercial building, and that changes the game a lot. Kitchen
equipment, doors, you name it will have higher standards.
The sprinkler system alone is extremely expensive.
Our association went through a period some years ago
of unprecedented spending. That is why our dues are where
they are today. We have worked very hard in the last few
years to contain expenditures as much as possible, and that
has resulted in very minimal dues increases. Yearly dues are
one factor in desirability of a community to potential buyers
along with attractive amenities. It is a balancing act.
This year we are having an updated reserve study. The
reserve study gives us an indication of how much we must
contribute yearly to offset replacement costs. Our replacement reserves are currently fully funded. My concern is
the new study may indicate we have not been contributing
enough to adequately fund our roads program. I believe that
is a real possibility. If the new study tells us we need to fund
even another $100,000 for roads yearly, it will interpret into

CANDLEWICK
LAKE RENTAL
REGISTRATION
NOTICE
As you may be aware, Candlewick Lake Association
recently voted to put a fifteen percent (15%) rental
cap in place. Under this new rule, all rental units are
defined as non-owner occupied homes. If you own a
home in Candlewick, but do not personally live in the
home, it will be considered in the count towards the
fifteen percent cap. Registration forms were sent to all
those that the Administration Office had identified. If,
however you did not receive notice, or are not sure if
your home qualifies, please contact the Administration
Office immediately. Failure to do so may result in further monetary penalties as outlined under the approved change.
The fifteen percent (15%) rental cap has been reached. If you wish to rent your home and it was not previously
identified and registered as a rental property, you will
be put on a waiting list until we fall below the rental
cap. Please contact the Administration Office with any
questions regarding rental properties. News

deliberation.
We’d like to pass on to you the information we used to
bring us to this conclusion. Friends of ours have experienced the generosity of The Make A Wish Foundation.
My special needs granddaughter who has epilepsy had
her wish granted about three years ago. Pat Lockwood
a fellow member of the Flames also has a special needs
granddaughter who previously had a wish granted. A close
friend of our family who lives in Belvidere just recently
had a wish granted which involved special equipment.
Equipment that without their help would have been
impossible.
Wishes are more than just a nice thing. A wish
experience can be a game-changer for a child with a
life-threatening medical condition. “This one belief guides
us in everything we do at Make-A-Wish®. It inspires us
to grant wishes that change the lives of the kids we serve.
It compels us to be creative in exceeding the expectations of every wish kid. It drives us to make our donated
resources go as far as possible. Most of all, it’s the
founding principle of our vision to grant the wish of every
eligible child. Wishes are more than just a nice thing. And
they are far more than gifts, or singular events in time.
their wish come true can give them the courage to comply
with their medical treatments. Parents might finally feel
like they can be optimistic. And still others might realize
all they have to offer the world through volunteer work or
philanthropy.”
The other organization that will benefit from the garage
sale is The Veterans Assistance Commission of Boone
County, with Mr. Bob Ryder as the superintendent. We
will have more information on that vital organization in
the next issue. To contact them call: 815-514-6464 They
recently moved and are now located on the second floor
in the PNC Bank Building at 130 South State Street, Suite
212 in Belvidere.
Again, we are accepting donations for sale at our garage
sale. Household items in working order, tools, books,
children’s clothing and toys. Cleaning out your attic,
basement, garage and shed? We’re the ones that can put
your items to good use.
Beginning May 1st we will be picking up items or
accepting donations at our home at 1700 Candlewick
Drive. Call us at home 815-765-1713 or on my cell phone
815-218-6464. A lot of people depend on your generosity.
You’re the ones who make this possible. Thank you.

Regulations
April 2016
• A State Fishing license is required for all persons age
16 and over.
• Your Candlewick Lake Member ID is your Candlewick
fishing permit. You need to carry this with you while
you are fishing on the lake.
• A guest fishing pass is required for each guest. It
may be a non-designated seasonal or a one day, both
can be purchased at the Administration office or at the
Recreation Center. Guest passes must be purchased by
resident with proof of residency.
• Guest use of the lake is permitted provided that the
property owner is on or within the immediate vicinity of
the lake at all times. The immediate vicinity is defined
as the shoreline or a property owner’s lakefront property. Exceptions will be made when there are extenuating circumstances, predetermined by Public Safety that
would prevent a property owner from being with their
guest. The property owner is responsible for contacting Public Safety, in advance, so that the request may
be considered and logged. The log will be maintained
so that an individual that has an “approved situation”
will not have to call Public Safety every time their guest
wants to use the lake. If Public Safety Staff members or
certified volunteers see any pattern of abuse to this rule
exception, it will result in a withdrawal of the exception
privilege for the remainder of the season/year. When
there are extenuating circumstances that prohibit the
property owner from being on or within the immediate
vicinity of the lake, the property owner must still be
within Candlewick Lake. (Policy 09-11)
• No Minnows allowed (dead or alive). All other live
bait are prohibited also. Exception: Perch and bluegill

Lake Management was asked to REMIND CWL
property owners, homeowners and renters and even the
Association to be proactive about MOSQUITOES and
STANDING WATER BREEDING SITES.
The topic of MOSQUITOES and the illness they
bring has been in the news a lot. The following is a list
of some areas around your home/yard to be ALERT to
STANDING WATER and how to help to ELIMINATE
the problem.
Check Roof Gutters * Downspout drainage * Drain pipes
* open trash cans * empty containers * old tires (store
where they won’t collect water * bird baths – need to
hose out weekly * buckets, watering cans, wheelbarrows
– when not in use store upside down * tarps on woodpiles
or swimming pools-drain off * garden equipment *
leaking faucets, etc.
All of the above are just some items or sites that create a
potential mosquito breeding site. Now it is your turn to
help make it harder for these bad bugs to multiply.
They may be small but they cause so much trouble.

Change
in Fish Limits
for Large and Small Mouth Bass
Catch and Release…….
For the past several years, we have instated a size and
quantity limit for largemouth bass allowing the harvest of
smaller fish. This size and harvest (creel) limit was put
there to reduce the numbers of fish in this size range. With
the high population of juvenile bass the food supply for
big fish is reduced. It restricts adult bass from the growth
potential we would like to see. By reducing the numbers
of these predators, we allow the remaining bass to more
food available to them and, in turn, would be able to grow
quicker. The past two fish surveys have shown reduced numbers
of these smaller sized bass, and many anglers have

A
Message from the Chief ofplants
Public
Safety
or anything else that can be picked up by the
by Chief Roland Wood
rwood@candlewicklake.org
Greetings from Public Safety
Spring has arrived. We hope everyone is enjoying the
weather. With the arrival of spring, so changes many of our
daily activities from indoors to outdoors. Without snow and
ice our driving habits change, generally for the faster. Please
be cognizant of this! There are now many pedestrians and
bicyclists sharing our roads with us. And many of these
folks are our children. The Officers of our Public Safety
Department will be ever more vigilant in monitoring traffic
through the CWL community. Please slow down.
Also with spring, the warm, wet weather starts the grass
growing. Every year, I ask our residents to take the effort
necessary to manicure their lawns. Invariably, we still have
many residents who need to be warned and eventually cited
to get them to “cut the grass.” Please remember, you agreed
to these rules when moving into the CWL community. It
is our task to enforce them. We would prefer to keep this
enforcement to a minimum and let our staff focus on other
issues.
Later this month, the piers will be installed, and more
boats will travel Candlewick Lake. Please make sure you
have completed a thorough equipment check of your boat.
Our Lake Enforcement Officers will be looking for violations, including equipment and registration infractions.
Storm Safety
Thunderstorms and tornadoes are violent by nature. Both
are identified by extremely strong winds. They are capable
of completely destroying well made structures, uprooting
trees and hurling objects through the air like deadly missiles, this includes hail. Although severe tornadoes are more
common in plains states, tornadoes have been reported in
every state.
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
Tornado Watch – Tornadoes are possible in and near the
watch area. Review and discuss your emergency plans, and
check supplies and your safe room. Be ready to act quickly
if a warning is issued or you suspect a tornado is approaching. Acting early helps to save lives!
Tornado Warning – A tornado has been sighted or indicated by weather radar. Tornado warnings indicate imminent
danger to life and property. Go immediately underground to
a basement, storm cellar or an interior room (closet, hallway
or bathroom).
HOW TO PREPARE FOR A TORNADO
• During any storm, listen to local news or weather radio
to stay informed about tornado watches and warnings.
• Know your community’s warning system.
Communities have different ways of warning residents
about tornadoes, with many having sirens intended for
outdoor warning purposes. (Candlewick Lake has three
(3) sirens placed strategically about the complex.)
• Pick a safe room in your home where household
members and pets may gather during a tornado. This
should be a basement, storm cellar or an interior room
on the lowest floor with no windows.
• Practice periodic tornado drills so that everyone knows
what to do if a tornado is approaching.
• Consider having your safe room reinforced. Plans for
reinforcing an interior room for this purpose can be
found on the web.
• Prepare for high winds by removing diseased and
damaged limbs from trees.
• Move or secure lawn furniture, trash cans, hanging
wind and become a projectile.
• Watch for tornado danger signs: Dark, often greenish
clouds – a phenomenon caused by hail, Wall cloud –
isolated lowering of the base of a thunderstorm, a cloud
of debris, large hail, funnel cloud or a roaring noise.
WHAT TO DO DURING A TORNADO
• The safest place to be is an underground shelter, basement or safe room.
• If no underground shelter or safe room is available, a
small, windowless interior room or hallway on the lowest level of a sturdy building is the safest alternative.
• Mobile homes are not safe during tornadoes or other
severe winds.
• Do not seek shelter in a hallway or bathroom of a
mobile home. If you have access to a sturdy shelter or a
vehicle, abandon your mobile home immediately.
• Go to the nearest sturdy building or shelter immediately, using your seat belt if driving.
• Do not wait until you see the tornado.
• If you are caught outdoors, seek shelter in a basement,
shelter or sturdy building. If you cannot quickly walk
to a shelter, immediately get into a vehicle, buckle your
seat belt and try to drive to the closest sturdy shelter.
• If flying debris occurs while you are driving, pull over
and park. Now you have the following options as a last
resort:
Stay in the car with the seat belt on. Put your head
down below the windows, covering your head with
your hands and a blanket if possible. If you can
safely get noticeably lower than the roadway, exit
your car and lie in that area, covering your head with
your hands.
Your choice should be driven by your specific circumstances.
WHAT TO DO AFTER A TORNADO
• Continue listening to local news for updated information and instructions.
• If you are away from home, return only when authorities say it is safe to do so.
• Wear long pants, a long-sleeved shirt and sturdy shoes
when examining your walls, doors, staircases and
window for damage.
• Watch out for fallen power lines or broken gas lines
and report them to the utility company immediately.
• Stay out of damaged buildings.
• Use battery-powered flashlights when examining
buildings – do not use candles.
• If you smell gas or hear a blowing or hissing noise,
open a window and get everyone out of the building
quickly and call the gas company or fire department.
• Take pictures of damage, both of the building and its
contents, for insurance claims. Use the telephone only
for emergency calls.
• Keep all of your animals under your direct control.
• Clean up spilled medications, bleaches, gasoline or
other flammable liquids that could become a fire
hazard.
• Check for injuries. If you are trained, provide first aid
to persons in need until emergency responders arrive.
• Finally, help your neighbor!1
Let’s keep Candlewick Lake a beautiful, safe place to
live.

Signs
Please be reminded that the only type of signs that are
allowed in Candlewick Lake are real estate and political
signs. Real estate signs must be placed against the house
or garage and may not be out in the yard. Political signs
are only allowed to be displayed 30 prior and 10 after an
election. Political signs may not be placed in the ditch, on
common ground or any CWL owned property. Contractors are not permitted to place signs on your
property. These include but are not limited to siders,
roofers, landscapers, remodeling and driveway companies
or any other type of construction. In addition no event or
any other type of signs are allowed.
When you are having work done on your house or yard,
please advise your contractor that they may not display
their signs. Citations will be issued to the member if signs
are displayed. Mowing
Requirements
It is the responsibility of each property owner to mow
and maintain the ditch area in front of their property. Please be sure to mow the entire ditch, up to the road
shouldering. This applies to the ditch in front of a vacant
lot or a developed lot (lot with a house on it). If you hire a
contractor to mow your lawn or vacant lot, be sure they are
aware of the rule. If there is concrete curbing in front of or on the corner
of your vacant or developed lot, the grass must be trimmed
around the curbing. Also, trimming is required around any
sign post and/or mail box posts that are in the ditch area or
in the easement adjacent to your property. When a vacant lot is mowed, it is expected to be mowed
entirely. Rows (strips) of uncut grass is not acceptable. PLANS DUE – BY NOON

New Address or Phone
Number: Contact
Office with Change
If you have recently moved, please take a few minutes
to contact the Administration Office to give us your new
address. Many mailings done by the Association are sent
out bulk mail. Unfortunately, the post office will not
forward bulk mail, but will instead return it at a considerable fee. We are charged about $4.00 to receive the CWL
News back.
If you have disconnected your house phone (land line)
and are only using cell phones chances are the Office does
not have your current number. The Association has no
way of contacting you in an emergency situation. The
same is true if you change your phone number. Please take a few moments to contact the
Administration Office at 815-765-2827 ext. 200 to be sure
we have your address and phone number(s) on file. Use
of Common Ground
Use of the common ground for personal property is
prohibited unless the General Manager grants permission. This includes gardens, woodpiles, etc. Trampolines, swing
sets, pools, boats, etc. are strictly prohibited and permission for these type of items will not be granted. If you
would like to use the common ground, you may pick up an
application form in the office, to be filled out and submitted for approval by the General Manager. Vacant
Lots for Sale
If you have your unimproved (vacant) lot for sale, you
may keep the selling information on file in the Candlewick
Lake office. This information will be available to anyone
interested in purchasing a lot in Candlewick Lake.
Forms are available in the Administration Office, which
must be filled out and placed in the book by the property
owner. It is the responsibility of the lot owner to remove
the form when the lot has been sold or is no longer for
sale. Candlewick Lake Association does not act as a selling
agent for property owners. By signing the form, you are
authorizing Candlewick Lake Association to provide the
information to the general public. Some of the listings go back to 2009. If you have put
a form in the book, you may want to consider stopping in
the office to review your form to be sure it has updated
information with regards to your address, phone number,
asking price etc.

for details. An account is considered delinquent if payment of dues in full or an ACH is not
processed by May 1st.
ACH – EXISTING SETUP
What do I need to do? If you have a current ACH in place, you consent to the current year’s monthly amount, and there are no changes required then you need to do
nothing! Again, if you had an ACH processed in March, we will process the next payment
in May unless otherwise directed by you. Your Electronic Fund Transfer Authorization
Agreement is for the withdrawal of funds in payment of the current Candlewick Lake
Association Dues Assessments, Road Trust/Long Term Capital Funding, and accumulated
interest. We will begin taking out the upcoming year’s (2016-2017 Fiscal Year) assessments
in May. If you do not consent to continue your ACH and/or would like to pay in full, you
must notify us in writing on or before April 15, 2016. Unless we receive such a request,
your current ACH Agreement will continue with your consent to the new current year’s
monthly assessment. Attach a voided check to a completed Electronic Fund Transfer
Agreement if you want to utilize a new bank account. Forms must be received in the
Candlewick Lake Office on or before April 15, 2016. Your account is automatically debited
on the first business day of each month beginning May 1, 2016.
ACH –NEW SETUP
What do I need to do? If you need to start an ACH for the first time, then complete the
ACH form, attach a voided check and return it to the Candlewick Lake Association Office. Forms must be received in the Candlewick Lake Office on or before April 15, 2016. Your
account is automatically debited on the first business day of each month beginning May 1,
2016. Return ACH forms to the following address:
Candlewick Lake Association Office
13400 Highway 76
Online Payment Via eCheck or Credit Card
You can set up a one-time payment using an eCheck or credit card. There is a $14.95
convenience fee if you pay via a credit card. There is no charge for eChecks, however you
will have to register as a smartstreet user. What do I need to do? Simply follow the directions below:
• Log in to smartstreet.com or candlewicklake.org (documents/smartpay)
• Select “Online Payments”
• Choose “Pay as a Guest” for credit card payments or “Sign In or Register” for one time
eCheck payments • Select your homeowner’s association and follow the instructions on the screen
Pay in Full at the Association Office in Person or by US Mail
Return your invoice and a check made payable to Candlewick Lake Association to the
following address:
Candlewick Lake Association
13400 Highway 76
When paying by check, please write your unit and lot number on the check. You can also
drop your payment in our drop box located in front of the Administration Office during or
after hours. Your cashed check will serve as your receipt. Please do NOT drop cash.
CREDIT CARDS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AT THE ADMINISTRATION OFFICE.
Important
Notice
In order to more efficiently handle your checks, we have elected to use a check scanner to
process your checks in the office. This will turn your paper check into an electronic check
transaction. You will not receive your paper check back in your statement. The payment
will be reflected as an electronic transaction on your banking statement and can clear as
soon as the same day we receive your payment.

Board Members Present: Ken Dillenburg, Don Parisi, Chuck
Corso, Rich Witt, Bonnie Marron,
Absent: Jeff Lutzow, Steve Lambright
Staff Members: Theresa Balk, Valerie Alt, Roland, Wood, Leann
DeJoode
The meeting opened at 6:30 PM at the Rec. Center by President
Ken Dillenburg followed by the pledge to the flag and a prayer. There were seven members present. The public forum policy was read.
Gloria Van Cleve thanked Bonnie Marron and stated she wished
she was coming back and extended the same to Chuck Corso. Van Cleve stated: she wished there had been a Candidate’s
Forum; in Randy Budreau’s last line it says “to examine if we
need a bar”; this upset a lot of people; people don’t consider it a
bar, but an amenity; Randy is automatically elected; asked why
Savannah Oaks was closed now. Dillenburg responded that we
lost money last year when it was open at this time and added that
Randy is entitle to his opinion.
Randy Budreau stated we do need to examine if we need a bar; at
the front gate, every day is the sign that has events for Savannah
Oaks and then no one attends the events. Corso gave the
numbers from this year compared to last year for Savannah Oaks. Budreau stated he didn’t say anything about closing it down, just
that it needs to be looked at. Budreau asked if there was a new
road policy, with Dillenburg responding no. Budreau stated that
Tracy Carter sent him Policy 15-97 which calls for flowable fill
and the contractor working for Aqua told him they were using
stone; said we should have an engineer look at this. Balk said
she will contact the contractor tomorrow; if she would have
known about this today it could have been done today. Budreau
said an engineer should look at our policies.
Witt made a motion, seconded by Marron to approve the agenda. Motion carried unanimously. Marron made a motion to approve the minutes of the January 19,
2016 regular Board Meeting, seconded by Parisi. Motion carried
unanimously. The Aqua update was read by Marron. The lift station project
is ahead of schedule and the work began on the gravity sewer
improvement on 2/15/16. MONITORING REPORTS 1.) General Manager’s Report: The January 2016 report was

inspections every five years. Witt discussed a grant for the retention pond and volunteer hours really help. Balk stated she didn’t
think the volunteer hours went toward this grant. 5.)Recreation Commission: The 1/28/16 meeting report was
reviewed. Marron said the Commission is recommending having
a Town Hall meeting to discuss the outpost. Marron gave a
report of what was discussed at the meeting and the upcoming
events. Witt stated an Eagle Scout came to the Lions Club meeting to ask for permission to construct a bocce ball court for a cost
of $1,000.00 and suggested possibly having the same for CWL. 6.)Golf Commission: There was no 2/3/16 meeting. 7.)Public Safety Commission: The 2/10/16 meeting report was
reviewed.
8.)Events Commission: The 2/1/16 meeting report was

to sell and the proceeds went to the fireworks fund. Marron read
the upcoming events.
9.)Communications Commission: The 1/27/16 meeting report
was reviewed. Marron stated there will be a quarterly photo
contest and at the next meeting the people will vote on the
winner. Marketing CWL is being discussed and a new owner,
Ray Hanania, has come up with ideas to do so. Photos of events
should be sent for press releases; a cost effective way is to target
by zip code and put on Facebook with the average “like” being
$0.25 - $0.35.
10.) Roads Commission: There have been no meetings yet. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
1.)An update was given on the Outpost. There was discussion
on doing the project in two phases but most disagreed with this
idea. A suggestion was made that an ad should be in the paper
stating that this building is available for rentals.
NEW BUSINESS
1.)A list of bad debt write-offs in the amount of $102.44 which
consisted of one property and was a bank only paying back six
months was reviewed. Witt made a motion to approve writing
off the bad debt, seconded by Parisi. Motion carried 5/0 by a
roll call vote with all voting aye. Accounting adjustments in
the amount of $854.41 was reviewed and consisted of associate
member fees and a mowing charge. Witt a motion to approve
writing off the accounting adjustments, seconded by Parisi. Motion carried 5/0 by a roll call vote with all voting aye. 2.)The Road Commission Charter was read by Witt who
motioned to approve, seconded by Marron. Marron stated
that a minimum of 3 is needed for a quorum. Balk stated that
if there is less than 5 (ex. only 4) than 2 would be a quorum. Marron said under “Commission Organization” it should say
the Secretary forwards the minutes to the staff liaison, not to
the Administrative Staff. Marron stated if the meetings are on
an as needed basis how are property owners supposed to know
when they are. Marron said under “Voting Members” it should
say 3 unexcused absences, not meetings. Marron questioned
the term limits of one year with Dillenburg explaining that Balk
can renew the member list each year. The number of alternates
was changed to three. Witt and Marron amended their motion to
include the changes. Motion carried unanimously. 3.)Resolution 16-R-06 for Agreement for Deed was read by
Marron who motioned to approve, seconded by Witt. Parisi
stated a normal AFAD needs to be submitted to CWL but only
a memorandum needs to be recorded so all the information
isn’t given to the public. Paragraph 9D will be changed to a “A
Memorandum for the Articles for Agreement for Deed must be
recorded with the Boone County Clerk’s Office”. Dillenburg
questioned the paragraph above Section II in the Agreement
for Deed. The first motion was rescinded and Witt made a new
motion, seconded by Marron to approve the resolution with the
change to paragraph 9D and to get clarification from the attorney
on the section in question. Motion carried unanimously. 4.)A Town Hall Meeting was discussed. Dillenburg stated the
Recreation Commission has recommended having a meeting for
the Outpost, but felt we weren’t in a position to have a meeting
yet since no architect has been selected, there is no builder and
not bids and wasn’t sure what there would be to discuss and
suggested having a Town Hall Meeting after the new board takes
over. Further discussion was held on the meeting which was set
for March 6, 2016. 5.)A Special Board Meeting to approve the 2016-2017 Budget
was set for Monday, March 7, 2016 at 6:00 PM at the Rec Center. Balk stated there will be an ice rescue training held on the lake
on February 23, 2016
Discussion on the Outpost continued with Dillenburg stating
that in the Reserve Study funding is available for the Outpost. Since a new street sweeper wasn’t purchased and the cost of the
brushes will be taken out of the operating expenses, there is a
$93,000.00 savings. Dillenburg questioned what will happen if
there is an accelerated depression of assets in the next Reserve
Study. The Outpost will need picnic tables, there will be
maintenance, electricity and other additional expenses involved. Dillenburg discussed the possible cost to build the Outpost which
didn’t include engineering prints and landscaping. Parisi stated
these are all things that we have to address and said he wants
input from the community. Further discussion was held on the
reserves. Marron made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 8:00 PM
seconded by Parisi. Motion carried unanimously. Submitted by, Valerie Alt

is no limit to the amount of tickets which can be
purchased.
Tickets will be sold only at the Administration Office
and the Recreation Center. Tickets will not be sold by
individuals. Tickets will not be sold door-to-door.
The raffle will run from March 1, 2016 through April
18, 2016. Tickets will be available during normal
business hours.
Selected recipients (winners) will have the amount
deducted from their Association dues as a credit; no
cash or checks will be distributed. This will apply
only to the 2016-2017 dues. Should a property owner
be in arrears then the amount will be deducted from
back dues owed to the Association.
Raffle to apply to Property Owners only.
Raffle will be advertised in the CWL newspaper, on
the Sunshine Boards, blast e-mails, website, posters
and/or flyers and a notice will be included in the
2016-2017 dues notices mailing.
A random drawing will be held at the Recreation
Center Lakeview Room and is open to all residents
during the April 19, 2016 Board of Directors meeting
which begins at 6:30pm.
So as to allow for the most number of recipients a
property owner can only win once no matter how
many lots are owned.
So as to allow for the most number of recipients monies will be distributed as follows: For every $500.00
in raffle tickets sold a recipient will be selected (i.e.,
if $1,500.00 in tickets are sold then 3 recipients will
be selected each receiving a $500.00 dues reduction; if $1,800.00 in tickets are sold then 3 selected
recipients will each receive a $600.00 dues reduction.
If $2,000.00 in tickets is sold then a fourth recipient
will be selected and so forth).
President’s Prerogative continued from page 3
around a $40.00 dues increase per year.
We have been setting aside cash in the reserves for
replacement of the Outpost. There is not enough to cover
the entire $350,000, but the majority is there. Even if
$180,000 is required in additional reserve funding that will
be amortized over 39 years, meaning an addition of a couple
bucks per lot per year. The increased contribution would
also be offset by items that are already fully depreciated
so there is no major impact. In other words, the building
will have little effect on necessary dues contribution to
replacement reserves. There will be some impact in the
operating budget by the items we will need to purchase for
the new pavilion including picnic tables and other accessories, however this in theory may be offset by more rental
income. Maintenance cost will increase, as I would guess
will insurance rates as well as electricity. None of this is
insurmountable but it will affect dues to a small extent. I do
want to take a hard look at the plans when they are closer to
final to remove any unnecessary bells and whistles. We need
an attractive, functional building but not a showplace.
Initially I was against the project unless the cost was less
than $150,000, but as I continued to dig, I find the actual
budget impact will be minimal, and the building will be a
fine replacement for the current structure. I point this out so
all will realize if there is more than a small dues increase it
will be because of the reserve study, not the Outpost.
We could simply re-side the building and put on a new
roof, but in a few years more would need to be done with
this aging building. Add to that the fact that part of a
realtor’s tour will probably include pointing out “our” local
Rescue Squad station and dog park. Having an attractive
new Outpost and pavilion in the area will only add to the
appeal.
I am now in. I will vote yes for the new building barring
some unforeseen circumstance. This is my personal stand
on the issue. It is up to the Board as a whole to determine if
this is the correct course. We will see.
I will close with this from Calvin Coolidge, “There is no
dignity quite so impressive, and no independence quite so
important, as living within your means.”
Enroll your children and a 30 day supply will be provided
every month, free of charge.

Safety do spot checks to help boaters stay in compliance. Fish Stocking and Habitation – There will be additional fish structures added to the lake this year. Todd Jones has been in contact

your toter, you may put it in a regular garbage can. You are required to have your garbage at the curb by 6:00 AM
on the day of collection. To avoid being missed, please be sure to
have your garbage out by 6:00 AM.
An electronic recycling drop-off site is located at the Boone
County Highway Department.
Hazardous waste materials (paints, paint thinner, oil, etc.) can
be taken to the Rock River Water Reclamation District located at
3333 Kishwaukee Street in Rockford. Their hours are Saturdays
from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Sundays from noon to 4:00 PM. You can call 815-387-7510 to get a complete list of what is accepted and what is not. Things they don’t accept are compressed
gas, explosives and radioactive material.
Tires (except tractor tires) may be taken, up to four at a time, to
Rock River Water Reclamation District.
Sharps (used syringes, needles and other medical equipment)
should not be disposed of in your household trash or recycling
as this poses a significant health risk to waste haulers. Anyone
working in the trash handling industry can unexpectedly come
in contact with these materials and is in danger of accidentally
puncturing themselves and be at risk of contracting any number
of diseases – including Hepatitis B and HIV – from contaminated
syringes. Most pharmacies offer a free sharps collection program. You can pick up a sharps container at no charge; once your
container is full, you can exchange it for a new container. This
free service is a simple solution for the safe disposal of SHARPS.
