Board & Committees

Board of Directors

Waterscape's Board of Directors consists of up to 9 members elected by homeowners. The terms of office are 3 years, with 3 members elected each year at the November Annual Meeting of Waterscape Owners. Any Owner whose name appears on the deed of a Waterscape condo is eligible to be nominated to serve on the Board.

All Board members oversee the community in general, and the chairs of Waterscape's Standing Committees are drawn from those who currently serve on the Board.

Consisting of a Board’s officers, an executive committee historically has as its most basic purpose to act quickly on behalf of the Board if an urgent need arises between Board meetings. Today, however, e-mail, texts, Zoom and other forms of instant communication mean that this traditional role of executive committees is seldom utilized.

Therefore, the primary mission of Waterscape’s Executive Committee is to concern itself with matters affecting the community as a whole, including:

Negotiation and oversight of contracts with the Managing Agent and others
Recruitment of Board members
Reserve Fund administration, Reserve Studies, and other long-range planning for capital renovations and replacements
Oversight of major projects planning and implementation
Legal matters
Collections
Oversight of enforcement of By-Laws, rules and regulations to ensure fairness in addressing violations
Condo Rentals
Annual budget planning and oversight, tax returns, and CPA audits
Amendments and updates of legal documents
Interaction with city, county, state and Federal agencies as well as those governing Morse Reservoir

While the Executive Committee is responsible for the legal and operational oversight necessary to make the Board effective and accountable to owners, it is a body that recommends items to the entire Board for decisions. Only in the case of an extreme emergency is the Executive Committee authorized to enact a decision on its own.

The annual “Water-Escape” that organizes a very lively afternoon boat tie-up party out on the lake
