Q: How will the amount of the assessments be determined?
A: The Amended DOR provides the following:
"By February of each year, the POA will establish the amount of the annual assessment for each lot for that year and will notify
each lot owner of the amount due. The annual assessment will be based upon the expected ACTUAL cost to provide for or
contract for maintenance of roads, charges for the "honey wagon," water and sewer systems, grounds, refuse collection,
electrical power and other services which the POA deems appropriate for the daily operation of the park."
As such, the POA board is charged with the duty to exercise its best judgment in securing the necessary services to operate
the park, which would include such items as power, water, sewer, refuse collection, etc. Necessary services will be
determined by majority vote of the board.
Optional services and major capital expenditures which would affect the amount of assessments will be determined by a
majority vote of the property owners present at meetings, or present by proxy, called for the purpose of determining optional
services, unless an emergency arises which would require the board to act expeditiously in order to protect the real estate, or
the members, as is required in carrying out their fiduciary duty to the members.
Financial reports will be available for inspection at any regularly scheduled POA meeting. In addition, the POA will maintain
itemized accountings, including copies of invoices and receipts, in order to substantiate the expenditure of all funds derived
from assessments which will be available for copying and inspection by any member upon reasonable notice, and payment of
any administrative costs for copying same.

Q: How can I help?
A: The POA needs volunteers to serve on any of the five committees established by the 2008 bylaws including the
Architectural/Engineering, Administrative/Finance, Communications, Planning, and Rules/Regulations committees. A Notice is
posted on the "Information" page of this website. Some of the projects assigned to these committees include, but are not
limited to, planning park "cleanup days," reviewing the old rules and regulations established either by previous management
or Spring River Beach Club, and drafting a set of rules and regulations that would better suit Riverbend Park, establishing a
public relations campaign to facilitate better communication between the board and members, as well as the public, to promote
the sale of lots in Riverbend Park. Members who are interested in serving in this capacity should contact any member of the
board through this website.
