Notes from SLSIA Annual Meeting
Wednesday, January 11th about 80 members of the Association met at Firefighters/Postal Club. The official minutes of this meeting will be made available on our web site www.lakespringfield.org. I will offer a few highlights here.

A Market Based Home Sales Report was prepared by Association Member Beckey Hendricks. Copies of the report were available at the meeting and the report will be made available to all on our web site www.lakespringfield.org.

SLSIA contributed $500.00 to SUSART, $250.00 to the Illinois Land of Lincoln Power Squadron, and $250.00 to Lincoln Memorial Gardens. These organizations are not tax supported and rely on contributions to finance programs very beneficial to Lake Springfield.

There were several invited guests that furthered the civic, educational, and social interest of our Association. Mayor Mike Houston addressed the assemblage communicating the “big ideas” of people that led to the building of Lake Springfield, the largest municipally owned lake in Illinois at 4,200 acres. The Mayor stressed that those “big ideas” are being protected and preserved by the professional management of City, Water, Light and Power. Eric Hobie, CWLP Electrical Department Director, was on hand to answer specific questions regarding the department’s review of the ordinance sponsored by Alderman Frank Edwards amending the City Code to include all 735 leaseholders to be subject to Building and Zoning. Alderman Edwards and Eric explained what the amendment would do and that to better implement variance procedures CWLP was reviewing the ordinance and would have a complete policy in place within several weeks.
