It has come to our attention that the May meter readings are inaccurate. We apologize for this mix up.

We are currently in an investigative stage to learn more about what occurred and how many were affected. We’ve set a deadline of 6/17 to ensure enough time is given to gather the necessary data and perform the analysis from this data.

In the meantime, SLMC won’t charge any overage of water usage. We only ask that you pay the base rate of $75.00 for the water, plus the $40.00 HOA and $18.28 Special Assessment(if you haven’t paid it in full).

We are truly sorry for this inconvenience and want to assure you that we’re getting to a resolution. Once we know more, we’ll share.

Department of Ecology was out to inspect the oil spill and WDFW sopped up some oil. It’s been reported by some fishing residents that it’s gone.

Scott Lake Maintenance Company has become aware of an oil spill in our lake. This is between the Fishing Dock and Boat Launch. It wasn’t a lot of oil, but enough to notice. A friend of a community member is on the State Oil Response Team and is dropping off some oil spill pads for clean up.

Scott Lake Maintenance Company (SLMC) has received several complaints that vehicles are parked in the street in front of residences. Parking in the street is a concern for emergency vehicle access, it also prevents LeMay trucks access for pickup of garbage/recyclables or other vendors such as UPS, etc. to transverse our narrow streets. On some of the narrower streets, such as Champion, Hilltop Court, and Shoreview and many of the other streets, the clearance is too narrow for bigger vehicles.

SLMC is asking each resident to be aware of this situation. The impact if emergency vehicles are not able to get to the residence is a concern.

Your Board of Trustees are currently working on addressing these issues in our Protective Covenants documents. 

With the understanding that most households have two or more cars, houses and driveways getting smaller and cars getting bigger, it can be difficult for parking. If parking on the street is impacting you, please talk with your neighbors.  

Sincerely,

Scott Lake Maintenance Company

Your Scott Lake Board of Trustees are meeting on June 7th at 6pm via Zoom only. If you’re interested in joining, the zoom information can be found in the calendar item. We are working on an agenda currently and will post it within a couple days.

Same time frame of 10am-2pm, but come over to the park and meet your neighbors and community. CPR training will still be in the community center, spots available if you want to participate.

Child Safety
Intercity Transit’s Walk N Roll program and the Child Care Action Council’s Safe Kids Thurston County
program will install a temporary traffic garden at the Scott Lake Community Center. A traffic garden is a
miniature streetscape that allows children to practice bicycle and pedestrian skills in a safe and fun
environment. Scott Lake youth are invited to ride their bicycle or scooter through the traffic garden on
June 25. All riders must wear a properly fitted helmet. While youth ride in the traffic garden, encourage
them to practice the skills below:

• Ride on the right side of the road.
• Look left, right, left at intersections.
• Stop at stop signs.
• Hand signal before making a left turn.
• Hand signal before making a right turn.
• Hand signal before stopping.
• Wear your helmet.

Additionally, we will provide child safety tips and activities via tabling and activity stations for the duration
of the event addressing key child safety concerns: bicycle, water, school bus, and general safety.

CONTACT & REGISTRATION
This event is free to the community! Please check back to the website and FB event page as more details
are added.

The only registration required is for the CPR Compression Training class. Ages 12 and up are welcome to
sign up and get certified! All class attendees must register by June 9th via the following link:

Once a year the SLMC Board of Trustees meets to share the past years events, accomplishments and hurdles. We’ll also share our visions for the coming year.

Traditionally, this is also the time where we vote for additional Trustees. We’ve communicated the available seats on April 1st to get a call for candidates. The deadline for candidates was April 21st. This was mainly in part due to preparing a ballot, the bios of the candidate(s) and mailing it out before our mailing deadline of April 28th. This year we had a Trustee resign shortly after the March meeting and this Trustees seat was due to expire this year. In addition. two more seats are due to expire this year. There were three seats total that candidates could have put interest in. Unfortunately, we didn’t get any interested candidates. So we won’t be conducting a vote for candidates on a ballot.

We hope to be voting on the budget for 2022-2023. In order for a vote to take place, a quorum of the membership must be present first, either in person or by proxy. According to our bylaws, Article 5, section 3, 20% of the membership is required to vote on the transaction of business. Each property is entitled to one vote only. If you can’t attend the annual meeting and want your voice to be heard, you can fill out the “Homeowner Proxy” form and submit to the office. We request that all proxies be submitted by 5/11. This will give SLMC the opportunity to validate the proxy.

We will be conducting a Q&A period at the meeting, answering questions submitted via email and then taking questions from the floor. All questions and answers will be made available online after the meeting.
