President's 2026 Kick Off Message and Upcoming Events

As we turn the calendar to 2026, we are reaching out to provide you with some updates about the North Lake Improvement Association. As you may know, there have been some changes in the NLIA officers and Board members for the next 2-year period. We want to start by offering our sincere gratitude to those NLIA officers and Board members who previously served for their commitment and efforts to the Association and to North Lake.

The new Board has already been meetng and discussing our priorities for the upcoming year. As always, subject to overall membership input the following high level priorities have been established.

1. Continued Engagement of a Lake Management Consultant

We believe that the direction last year produced positive results and our recommendation is that we continue to engage AquaLink as our lake management consultant. While that is the recommendation,

the final decision on moving forward belongs to the membership. As such, we are planning a virtual meeting to be held on February 5th @ 5:30 pm. Additional information about the meeting will be forthcoming. 

2. 2026 Budget Establishment/Fundraising

The below attached letter include our proposed 2026 Budget/Comparison to 2025 actual expenses. Based on historical membership numbers and the ongoing operating costs including lake management, our

proposed 2026 budget is $34,000 or an average of about $550 per household membership. There is no plan to increase the membership fee but there will be an increased focus on direct fundraising/donations as well as our special events (July 4th drawing and the basket raffle).

3. Membership Communication/Engagement

We will endeavor to focus on improving the communication and engagement of the members. The NLIA Board is in place to serve the members, and we are committed to assuring that the concerns and ideas of membership are considered. To that end, the board is establishing 3 standing committees to which interested members are invited and encouraged to join. The committees are:

• Water Quality

• NLIA Finance: Membership and Fundraising

• Executive/Administrative

This letter is the “kick off” of our 2026-year membership and fund-raising drive. We hope that if you are a current member that you will renew your membership. If you are new to the lake or perhaps not a member for a while, we would like to welcome you to the North Lake Improvement Association. We also hope that you will consider making an additional contribution to help support the Association. Remember all donations are tax deductible.

We are excited about the future of our Association and of our wonderful North Lake community.

Sincerely,

Bob Ochs

NLIA President
