The Canyon Lake POA on Tuesday approved changes to the Green Committee Charter. The Green Committee Charter currently allows for seven members who are active in the golf program: four from the general membership who are appointed by the POA Board and three representatives, one each, selected by the major groups in the golf community (Men’s Golf Club, Women’s Golf Club, and Tuesday Work Group).
The Family Golf Club and the 9ers Golf Club would like to be considered for membership to the Green Committee. Considering how the current charter is written, denying their request could be challenged; however, expanding the committee to nine members would unbalance the committee in favor of clubs and would not be in the best interest of the community. No other POA committee has club representation as part of its structure.
On Tuesday, the POA Board of Directors approved to eliminate club/group representation and allow three new appointed positions to go through the normal selection process.
The current two-year experience requirement for the chairman’s position limits the pool of applicants and is not a requirement for any other committee. Therefore, the two-year experience requirement was also eliminated.
The changes go into effect on January 1, 2024, to allow time for the existing club representatives to complete their term and for the committee to promote the new openings and interview applicants.
The primary responsibility of the Green Committee is to advise and assist the POA Board of Directors in developing and implementing the preservation, enhancement, and maintenance of the golf course in cooperation with the POA. All Green Committee meetings are open to the community.
