A NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Fellow Woodland Springs Residents
It has been a great experience serving on the Woodland Springs HOA Board of Directors. My second term expires this February and I am not eligible to be elected again. I have learned a lot about my community and have made great acquaintances. It has been a rewarding time.
I invite you to share my experience by volunteering to finish an unexpired term of either of two current vacancies or declare your interest to be elected to either of the three-year terms at the February annual meeting.
There are many ways to be involved in committees as a starter. I was on the lake committee before I joined the Board. And I still plan to continue to be active.
If you are interested in discussing the possibilities, just give me a call 317-694-2264 or email to grover1223@aol.com. I would be happy to talk with you.
Spencer Grover President

POOL DECK SURFACE DRAINS BLOCKED: The board is aware of drains being blocked on the pool deck area. We have had a contractor respond a few times. It appears the blockage is further into the pipes than anticipated. | |
POOL LEAK: The board is aware of multiple leaks in the main pool and is currently obtaining quotes. Once we have more information we will inform the neighborhood of our findings and make plans for repair. | |
POOL/COURT FOBS: We are receiving comments about non-Woodland Springs Inc. owners accessing our pool and courts. Please do not share your fob with others outside of our community.
PLEASE DO NOT PROP THE GATE DOORS OPEN. Propping the pool gate open is a violation of the Indiana Code. Repeated violations could jeopardize our pool's operating permit. | |

LAKE WOODLAND
Lake Woodland will always have a nutrient problem caused by too much phosphorus from fertilizer runoff and natural animal waste. This, along with drought conditions, hot sunny days and the very shallow waters, creates the perfect scenario for planktonic and potentially harmful algae blooms to occur. This year, the HOA Board at the recommendation of the lake committee has purchased and deployed an ultrasound device that prevents the growth of certain algas, in particular, the blue/green algae that causes the lake to close while being treated. The use of ultrasound is completely safe for humans, animals, and aquatic life. One unit should be enough to reach most of the lake. It is attached to a buoy in the middle of the lake, is powered through a electric cable and is cleaned monthly. It will be taken out of the lake for winter storage and returned in the spring. So far, the ultrasound unit is performing as expected and has a life of 5-10 years.
REMINDER: LAKE WOODLAND IS A “SWIM AT YOUR OWN RISK” LAKE. THE WATER QUALITY IS NOT ROUTINELY TESTED FOR BACTERIAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL CONTENT, ETC.
BUOY MARKERS WILL BE PLACED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAKE WHEN IT IS NOT SAFE TO SWIM IN THE LAKE, DRINK LAKE WATER, FISH, OR WATER YOUR LAWNS. THIS WILL NORMALLY FOLLOW LAKE TREATMENTS ONLY FOR BLUE/GREEN ALGAE. PLEASE CHECK THIS WEBSITE OR CONTACT KIRKPATRICK MANAGEMENT COMPANY FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION.

WATERCRAFT
Watercraft should be secured so they do not "wander off" and stored so they do not accumulate water and attract mosquitos.
ALL BOATS USED ON WOODLAND LAKE MUST DISPLAY AN ORANGE WOODLAND SPRINGS BOAT STICKER.
PLEASE REGISTER YOUR BOAT(S) WHETHER IT'S DOCKED AT YOUR HOME OR AT ONE OF THE COMMON AREA BOAT DOCKS.
Please check your boats for current registration with Woodland Springs. There are still vessels without registration stickers, either because of delinquent registrants or trespassers using our lake. You can easily register them at the Woodland Springs web site for free. And registration will help us notify you if your boat is purloined or abused. Also, there continue to be a number of boats and canoes that are unsecure or stored on the wrong side up, collecting water and mosquitoes. Please check your craft to ensure it is maintained correctly and secure.
The gate to the boat ramp drive is kept locked. For the combination please contact : Jeff Sickle, jsickle@ekirkpatrick.com, 317-827-0360 | |

ARCHITECTURAL CHANGES
Recognizing that we're all busy, the Woodland Springs Board of Directors has tried to make the Architectural Change Request Process as efficient as possible.
To make it easier, we have provided guidance and an online request form.
The intention of this review/approval is not to discourage or prevent residents from making improvements. On the contrary, we love improvements.
As an HOA, our interest is to protect and increase property values. Part of the Board of Directors' fiduciary responsibility is to ensure the guidelines outlined within the Covenants of 2011 are followed.
The most common requests being submitted are for sheds, fences, and cement repair. If you are ever in doubt about whether to fill out the Architectural Change Request, you can fill one out and we will advise that it wasn't needed. We are always looking for additional neighbors to volunteer for the committee. Please reach out if you have interest.
