IRS Revenue Rule 70-604
The IRS Revenue Tax Ruling 70-604 allows associations to avoid a tax consequence on any inadvertent excess member income that is applied to the following fiscal year assessment when filing a tax return Federal Form 1120.
This IRS Ballot Measure is considered an annual industry standard to allow for clear tax filing authorization should the Board decide to apply excess income to the following year's assessment.
Results: 1,091 in favor, and 94 against. This measure passed as a majority supported it.
Membership Quorum
This Membership Quorum measure would amend the Canyon Lake POA Bylaws to change the definition of membership quorum for elections. If approved, the change allows the total number of valid votes received by the designated election day to constitute a quorum. Meaning that quorum will always be achieved, regardless of the number of votes received, thus preventing membership meetings from being adjourned for lack of quorum.
The current bylaws require one-third of the voting power to constitute a quorum. Previous elections that did not meet quorum have resulted in adjournments, which cost additional time and resources.
Results: 1,057 in favor, and 169 against. This measure passed as a majority supported it.
Majority of Membership Voting Power for Sale of Common Area
This measure would amend the Canyon Lake POA Bylaws to require a majority of the membership's total voting power for the sale of any common area. If approved, the Canyon Lake POA would need at least 2,401 Lots voting to approve to sell any common area.
Results: 877 in favor, and 326 against. This measure passed as a majority supported it.

Board Terms
Efficient operations are significantly hindered by annual changes in the board. This measure was placed on the ballot as an option to address this issue and add stability in the Canyon Lake POA’s governance. If approved, the amendment would establish 4-year terms with a 2-year waiting period for Board members starting from the 2025 Annual Meeting & Election of Directors. Subsequent elections would then occur every two years, fortifying governance tenure, establishing stability within the Canyon Lake POA organization, lessen the presence of election signs, and reducing costs by 50%. The community would only see and experience election signs and campaigning every other year instead of every year.
Results: 679 in favor, and 399 against. This measure passed as a majority supported it.
