LCA President's Report

Happy March everyone! Spring in the Lakes has arrived and with it comes the beautiful weather that we all look forward to every year. We encourage you all to get out to enjoy our wonderful grounds, parks, the lake, and facilities. Also please join us for the multiple spring time events including the ever popular Poker Regatta, Spring Fling, Cinco de Mayo, free concerts, and many more!

I first wanted to thank the community for the opportunity to serve as your new Board President. I will not take this position lightly and will do what I can to help in any way possible. Thank you for your patience as I continue to learn processes and procedures. Past board members sure have left big shoes to fill! I would like to thank Nicole Slaten, Scott Leffler, and Ben Kaufman for their dedicated service to the community the past three years. I would also like to welcome our newly elected Board members; Andrew Campbell, Robert Garcia, and Nate Hoffman. Thank you all for your support of this community!

On Wednesday, February 28, 2024 at the regular board of directors meeting, we met Mr. Jeff Starling, a forensic structural engineer performing the engineering analysis of the upcoming vault/rapids project. He came highly recommended, and we look forward to his report and the information he can provide to us. His in-depth report and recommendations are necessary to send this project out to bid. Upon receipt of his report and findings, we will immediately send this information to the three contractors that have expressed interest in bidding on the project. We will request that bids are returned between 4 and 6 weeks after bid documents are released. Once all bids are received and/or we hear from all contractors, this information will be shared with the Board of Directors and discussed as a team. I promise to stay involved and informed with this project through design, bid, and construction, keeping the community up to date and looking for ways to effectively deliver a quality end product that will last another 50 years.

Mike Sotak, President
