Friday is the deadline to submit your ballot for or against the proposed $100 assessment to raise funds for street repairs and definitive improvements to the Lakewood swimming pool.

Votes will be counted at the Monday, Dec. 2 meeting of the Lakewood HOA board.

The total estimate for the pool and street work is $100,000. Streets scheduled for resurfacing next year are Winecup Hollow, Turkey Hollow, Gardenridge Hollow, Firewheel Hollow and Dogwood Hollow. No decision has been made on street work beyond 2025.

The pool has shown signs of deterioration, with large amounts of black algae at times.

Homeowners recently were mailed a letter and directed proxy (or absentee ballot) form to vote for or against the proposed assessment. Please take your completed directed proxy to the Lakewood Office, email it to hoa@lakewoodhoa.com or send it by regular mail to be received no later than this Friday, Nov. 29.

You also are invited to a special meeting at 6 p.m. Dec. 2 at the Lakewood Clubhouse at 7317 Lakewood Drive, where votes will be tallied. Ballots will be available at the meeting, but homeowners are encouraged to vote beforehand through the directed proxy.
