4th of July 2023- Thanks to all who made it a success!!

I hope everyone had a fun filled 4th of July weekend. We had an event packed day on Sunday July the 2nd and it was great to see so many people from the community come together for all our events.

Let’s thank Christina King for putting on another patriotic bike and golf cart parade this year. Everyone was talking about those goodie packages she made this year. So much red white and blue! Way to show your patriotism Fleeton Beach!!

The hot day made for a fast crab derby this year as the crabs were ready to go! Special thanks Noah Dockery and Bill Clarke for catching so many crabs for us that didn’t have a crab. Thanks also to Ralph Dove for helping us get the crabs we needed.  We had a great time watching the kids cheer in their crabs and all the people who came to watch.

This year we had a special treat with the 1st Fleeton Beach Silent auction. With only a month to pull this together Christine Harmic created a spectacular event! We had a record number of people show up for this exciting event. Thank you to all the Fleeton residents who made these terrific baskets and donated items for the event. We appreciate all the volunteers who helped make this event possible. There was something for everyone and the bidding was as hot as the day was. We were able to add over $3100 to the boardwalk and jetty fund and sold 10 tickets for upcoming fish fry. We did raise a lot of money and its just as important we were able to bring the community together for a fun evening.

Many area businesses graciously donated items for the Fleeton Beach silent auction. They supported our cause of repairing the jetty and boardwalk and we should support them. Take some time to visit their stores, buy from them and tell them you appreciate their support for Fleeton beach! We couldn’t have done this without them.

Please support these businesses who support us!

Fleeton Beach Association

General Meeting Minutes

Sunday, September 2, 2018

  • The meeting opened with President Lewis Lee recognizing and thanking several folks who have assisted Fleeton Beach over the summer:
  • The amazing road crew who have kept our roads in such great shape.
  •  Lisa Madison for keeping up the flower beds and landscaping at the community entrance.
  • Marie Johnson who researched all the current property owners to procure current home address.
  • Connie Leonard for her work on merging the bylaws with the original covenants and for preparing a member packet.
  • Bob LaChance for putting up the military and American flags along the entry road.

Minutes of the May meeting were presented.

Motion to approve: Marie Johnson

Second: Dave Miller

Approved

A question was asked about who was allowed to vote. Lewis explained that each property owner who is a paid up association member has one vote.

A question was asked about whether the association dues were considered an HOA fee. Lewis explained that the association is not an HOA (Homeowners Association). The $125 dues are used to maintain the roads, the public beach and other common areas throughout the community. The former term of “road fee” has been changed to “maintenance fee”.

Sunshine Hutchison brought up the issue of people speeding down Chesapeake Street without regard to the safety of the people’s homes along the way. She suggested lowering the speed limit to 10 miles per hour. She also asked about installing speed bumps. Someone suggested looking into manufactured speed bumps and renting speed light machines.

Barbara Newton brought up the problem of people walking their dogs on the beach and not cleaning up after them. She reminded everyone that many children play in the sand and the dog excrement is not a sanitary situation but one that can be controlled if dog walkers will remove what their pet leaves.

There being no further business the meeting was adjourned to the May 2019 meeting.

 

Fleeton Beach Bi-Annual Meeting, May 28, 2018

Fleeton Beach Bi-Annual Meeting

May 28, 2018

Meeting was called to order by Lewis Lee, President.

All Directors in attendance.

Lewis Lee – President

Bob LaChance – Vice President

Bill Webster – Treasurer

Jim Filson – Secretary (arrived late)

Lewis commented on the great cooks and turn out at the Memorial picnic.

September 3, 2017, HOA Meeting Minutes were sent to all members via email. The minutes were approved.

Treasurer, Bill Webster, summarized the financials. A reminder to all owners that there is a $75 annual dues for maintenance of the roadway and common area of the Fleeton Beach community. If members want to see where you stand with dues please see Bill and/or Denise after the meeting. Also, please feel free to follow up with them at any time. Financials were approved.

It has been asked by the community that dog owners be respectful of others by confining your pet to your yard or on a leash when outside your property. Pets chasing people or roaming is unacceptable and it is the owners responsibility to maintain their pets. It is important as a pet owner to pick up after your pet.

New Business

Roadway improvements are maintained by Cris, Gene and Bill. A big thanks goes out to the roadway maintenance crew.

Open discussion about golf carts and speeds. Golf carts should obey the community posted speeds. There was a discussion about limiting the age to drive a golf cart in the community and the resolution was that this is a family issue to address and not for the Board. Parents are responsible for the operation and use of the golf cart and whom uses them.

There was a motion to increase the maintenance dues from $75 to $125 to address the continued maintenance of the common area and roadways. The Board express concerns that if the community was damaged by a future storms it may not have the funds to address the improvements and cleanup of the common area and roadways. The motion was presented and was approved with a first by Susan Carroll and a second by Marie Johnson.

A note to all was voiced – that picking up trash is a community responsibility. Pitch in and if you see trash, please pick it up.

A motion that passed to merge the original Bayshore covenants with the association by-laws adopted in 2007. The President committed to take up with attorney to get it done and send to members before finalized. The motion was first and second before passed Jim Filson will put a letter together for owners to provide their contractor to share the rules and drive speeds within the community.

Some Reminders

No parking at the flag pole, at the beach access, or kayak access area. You may unload and take vehicle back to your residences.

No Bonfires are allowed on the common area; Beach, because it may not be safe for the young kids playing in the sand in the mornings.

During the holidays people enjoy watching and setting off fireworks. Please be safe and considerate of others in the community. Remember to always be safe.

The meeting was adjourned

These minutes have been approved by the Board

This birds eye view gives a whole new perspective of the benefits of the jetty building projects at Fleeton and the protection they provide to our beaches. You can see where the beach has been impacted where the jetties are absent and you can see the beach being actually built up by the jetties.
