Dear respected members of our Beaumont’s Seven Harbors White and Duck Lake Association 

The results of the vote yesterday were 80 votes “Yes” to have 4 boats and 2 docks at south beach and 47 Votes to have “no” boats at south beach.

As a consequence, the membership decided in favor of the 4 boats and 2 docks by a majority vote. All qualified and valid ballots have been counted 3 times by our independent observers (Karrie Pautsch and Tori Slack), Jeff Bosch, Jodi Michela and Winni Schoeb in final instance. The results have been certified by all members of the committee including our secretary Nancy Drury, who observed the process the entire time, and are considered final. 

We would like to thank everyone involved in this process including all of our members that had the courage and were voicing their views during the meeting.

This outcome and how we all got here, is proof of your board’s integrity and commitment to our members to create transparency and also how we drive decisions together as a true community.

Starting Tomorrow, we will work with Jeff Bosch and Mike Kuzmich to get the assignment process started following with the “waiting to relocate to another slip” list and then with the “waiting for a slip” waiting list to have all available boat slips assigned by latest May 15th.

The current slip holders at Southbeach will get notified as well, that they can put out their dock and boats as assigned as early as of tomorrow, May 3rd, 2023. 

For questions about the waiting lists and assignments, please contact Jeff Bosch or Mike Kuzmich at any time.

The meeting minutes of yesterday’s meeting will be posted in our members section as usual within the next days.

It is now time to bring the issue of boat slips, or no boat slips on South Beach to a vote by the General Membership.  The question is: Do we want to completely remove boats from South Beach or do we want to allow 2 docks with 4 total boats on South Beach beginning with the 2023 season starting in May?

Here is some background for the discussion:

This past season, 2022, there were 2 boats assigned to South Beach, and there were 2 additional slips on South Beach that were not assigned to anyone, awaiting the outcome of a general member vote.

There are currently 37 assigned boat slips, 3 open boat slips, plus the 2 more unassigned slips on South Beach mentioned above.  As of today, there are only 3 boat slips open.

There are currently 22 people on the boat slip waiting list.

The current boa slip and waiting list can be found here: Boat Slips | Beaumont’s Seven Harbors White and Duck Lake Association (7-harbors.org)

The voting during the Special Member Meeting on May 1st, 2023 will be for the following subject: Will the general membership approve to have 4 boats on 2 docks on our Outlot Southbeach of 7 Harbors. It will be a Yes or No Vote by handing in a voting ballot which will be issued at the night of the voting.

If the General Assembly votes NO slips allowed on South Beach, then:

Since we have 2 open slips, we accommodate/relocate the displaced slip holders who were on South Beach this past season.  In this case, only 1 member from the waiting list would get a boat slip.

If the General Assembly votes YES, 4 total slips on 2 docks allowed on South Beach, then:

The 2 people who had slips on South Beach do not have to relocate.  Plus, we can fill 5 additional total spots with people from the waiting list: 3 to fill the open slots, and 2 to fill the currently unassigned slips on South Beach, giving South Beach a total of 4.

Further information:

Below is the rule which governed beach boat slips from the By-Laws, revised 3/14/94, Article 10, Regulations Covering Use Of Out-Lots, part K:

“No new docks may be built on the North and South Beach lots on the lake front.  Presently there are three sufficiently sized docks on the North Beach which should provide sufficient spaces for all interested “Current” members.

Voting Rules and Proxy Download can be found here

Note: that the above statement regarding docks on beaches was removed from the by-laws by the board in the summer of 2021.

All 7 Harbors voting, and proxy rules apply. The majority vote of all submitted and valid votes will be considered as the final result and be in effect 24 hours after the publication of the results on our website www.7-harbors.org.
