HOA BOARD UPDATES
INTERESTED IN BECOMING A NEIGHBORHOOD ADVOCATE?
The Lake Pointe Estates Homeowners Association is looking for members to join your
Board of Directors. On December 31st, two Board opportunities will open. What’s involved? The Board
(as representatives of the LPE Homeowners Association) serves to promote safety for all and increase property values. Primary responsibilities, per the Bylaw, assigns responsibility to the HOA for maintaining, improving, repairing, replacing, and policing the pond and surrounding public areas. That’s where most of our dues are spent.
Examples of Board activities:
• Revise outdated Architectural restrictions, i.e., approving Solar panels.
• Act as an information source for residents and negotiate the dos and don’ts of the LPE
Rules and Restrictions.
• Work with the city on neighborhood initiatives such as the four-way stop, speed control
signs and possible runoff from the CERC project
• The LPE website has additional Board and Officer information. For questions, or if you
would like to nominate yourself or another interested party? Message lakepointeestates@gmail.com

Lighten Up
Lake Pointe
The Lake Pointe Restrictions and Covenants require that your exterior lamp post must be lighted at night. If your fixture is not working you need to replace it with an approved fixture or have yours repaired.
A common cause for lamp posts not working is the failure of the transformer inside the fixture. HOA member Don Dorsan can rebuild your fixture to accept the more efficient LED light and restore it to working order.
Price includes rewiring, replacement of light sensor, fixture painting and reinstallation.
Price: $75.00
Don has a few of the original fixtures in stock if you wish to change your fixture back to the original Lake Pointe fixture as pictured above.
Price $80.00
