Randy Young, TLIA President
One of the charms of Tower Lakes is the impression that we are a quaint community; a sleepy, cottage town where everyone gets along. It is, for the most part, a true statement, but only because there are rules we respect and live by.
A few years ago, some of the bylaws went through the process of a rewrite to comply with newly passed state laws. It was a necessary and lengthy process, but well worth the effort. It’s time now to fully review and updated our TLIA rules.
At the January meeting, the Board created a committee to do just that. I tasked committee members with the duty, over the next few months, to review the current rules and, where necessary, propose revisions. It’s a daunting task that could benefit from the expertise of you – an engaged resident. This is where you come in.
Rules for TLIA cannot be written without the input of our members. After all, they are our rules that affect our families and the entire neighborhood. We are looking for your involvement on how we set the standards for TLIA. For example;
- How do we better regulate special use of TLIA property?
- How do we better manage our shoreline and property use (or misuse)?
- How do we control our new tennis courts when they are built?
- Are there conflicts or contradictions within our rules?
- Do we have rules that are outdated, unenforceable, or unnecessary?
- Are there some rules that need to be added?
Recently, we heard concerns about rules on dog waste pickup in our neighborhood. We don’t have that rule; should we?
These are all valid questions and your input is not only valuable, but necessary. Your opinions are the best resource to gauge the pulse of the community as to what’s important to us in Tower Lakes.
The Rules Committee is available and ready to listen to your contributions. Contact us or come to our meetings, dates and times will be published on the events calendar at tlia.org and announced via emails.
It’s your community and it’s our job to improve it. Please help us construct a living set of TLIA rules that will be a viable part of our daily lives.
