Lake Mohawk Pool EndsSecond Successful Seasonunder New Ownership

The Leo-Carbin Group ended the 2014summer season with a weekend-long Labor Day celebration at theLake Mohawk Pool. To thank themembership for a great season,management allowed the more than200 members to bring guests for freeon Saturday and Sunday.

Greg Leo, owner/manager of thepool, is a longtime Sparta resident andowner of a real estate developmentfirm, The Leo Company. His entre-preneurial spirit and love for thecommunity drove him and his partnersto invest in the pool and they quicklygot up to speed on pool operations.

After a first season partnership withthe LMCC, the Leo-Carbin Groupfully acquired The Lake MohawkPool. “We have thoroughly enjoyedgetting to know our members betterthis season”, said Greg Leo. “We havemade many upgrades and aestheticimprovements to the facilities,including fixing the old problem ofcold water! The Lake Mohawk pool isa community gem for Sparta andByram. We aim to continue to providea great summer experience for ourmembers and create lifetime memoriesof summers spent here. There is trulynothing like this in the area!”

In addition to its Olympic sizedpool, the Club boasts the Hawkscompetitive swim team, and a longcourse. The facility includes a cafe,

basketball courts, sports fields, ping-pong tables, a miniature golf course,and playground and kiddie pool. TheLMP hosted top notch local bandssuch as Captains of Leisure and TheJersey Doors this year as well as thefirst adults-only, “Havana Night.”

At closing, Mrs. Leo reminded themany children suffering from end-of-summer sadness, “It is only 292days until opening - think summer!”The Pool Club is currently acceptingnew members and member renewalsfor 2015 at Special Early Bird prices.

We had so manyvisitors and residents who commentedenthusiastically on the charm andbeauty of the houses and on thecharm, and beauty, of the docentswho generously gave of their time toserve as guides. The proceeds fromthe tour will be used to beautify theClub with items that are not in thebudget, such as furniture for the newMember’s Room.

The House Committee would liketo thank the homeowners whograciously opened up their lovelyhomes to visitors: Nicole and MichaelHyland, Susan & Laurence Kozinski,Isabel andWolfgang Mayer, Linda and

A big thank you also goes to thehard-working House Committee,headed by Trustee Jay Dunn, whoworked so diligently on this tour.This committee makes everythinglook easy, although in reality, anevent of this size requires a great dealof time and effort.

Beach 3Beach 3 had a truly wonderful 2014

summer season. Sun, sand, music andmovies were enjoyed by beachgoersof all ages. My personal favorite wasour most recent movie night, showingThe Princess Bride. We watchedthrough to the happy ending withrain falling down around us. All inattendance was so very thankful forthe canopy, sheltering us from thestorm, while still enjoying ourpopcorn, pizza and pop!

But do not let me forget our big“Oops” moment. We hit a bit of asnag when Beach 3 purchased a 16foot inflatable water toy which didnot meet LMCC lake specifications. Itwas in the water for less than twenty-four hours when we were requestedto remove the offending object.

Please feel free to contact John at973 570-8037, for more details go tohttp://newjersey.craigslist.org/for/4601468940.html.

September’s Pig Roast/Salsa Challengewas a success. A big thank you toMike and Katie Dennehy for all of theshopping and along with Mike toGreg Yuskaitis, Lew Kelly and newneighbor Chris Jeffrey for being up soearly to prep and cook.

Thank you also to Bill and WendyMiller for continuing to organize thesalsa challenge. Nick and SkylarGialanella won 1st place again. Theymust have some magic in theirkitchen. Congratulations kids! Thankyou to all who lent a hand cleaningup, washing dishes and returningitems to the shed.

The next event is Oktoberfest. It isonly September 10 as I write this, soWendy and I are hashing out thedetails, but I can tell you it is a simpleBYO event, one last opportunity to

Sleepy Lagoon

enjoy the warm weather at the beachwith friends, old and new. See youremail for more information.

Many improvements were made atthe beach this summer, but there is

more on the wish list. SLB officers,past and present, manage theprioritization, along with day-to-daybeach maintenance, finances andevent planning. Other volunteerstake active roles and some cannotgive as much time, which is okay,however, the veterans continue to bededicated regardless if their childrenare young or old. Thank you!

At least a dozen newer families haverecently moved in, and there aremore homes for sale, so if you knowof any nice families looking, sendthem over.

We invite you to join the SleepyLagoon community. Consider comingto Oktoberfest; stop by at BeachClean Up, pop into the planningmeeting later in the year. Please donot feel intimidated if you do notknow anyone. We enjoy fresh ideasand new participation, the more themerrier. This is your neighborhood;help make it what you want it to be.

2014 has been a year of tremendous changefor our community. As the needs of ourcommunity have evolved, the Board andManagement have worked on making thechanges necessary to bring value back to ourmembership and more effectively manage theresources and community that we live in. BeforeI recap the accomplishments of 2014, I wouldlike to review the status of the Upper Lakeprojects - the significant infrastructure upgradethat needed to be accomplished this year.

The Upper Lake projects consist of four separatemajor undertakings: the dam and spillway, therestoration of Upper Beach, sedimentation removalfrom the lake bottom, and upgrading the inflowsediment structures and general drainage.

• Dam and spillway - complete, awaiting NJ DEPfinal certification.

• Upper Beach reconstruction - the finallandscaping will be completed by the end ofOctober, re-grading of the beach by the end ofthe year.

• Sedimentation removal - project underway, to becompleted by mid-November

• Inflow sediment structures and general drainage- contracts awarded, to be substantiallycompleted by December 30.

Thank you for your patience, input, and support aswe complete these projects. I believe you will beproud of the final results.

A HIGHLIGHT OF THE MOST

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES FOR 2014• Evaluated the needs, bid out the services, andawarded new contracts for:– Legal Services (Kelly and Ward) - 3 year term– Engineering Services (CP Engineers) - 3 year term– Reserve Study (The Falcon Group)

• Reconfigured accounting operations - mostaccounting functions done in house, transitioningWilkin & Guttenplan to consulting and auditoryfunctions

• Changed ownership of LM Pool– Recovered all funds expended in the purchase ofthe property

– Secured a 60 day right of first refusal if theproperty is resold

2014: A YEAR OF• Reorganized the Food and Beverage Staff andoperating systems- operation more efficient andresponsive to membership and social cateringguest needs

• Transition to new General Manager

• Communications Committee formed - facilitatedchanges to the member website and institutedMembership Informational Meetings

• Capital Improvement Committee formed -effectively manages the Capital Budget,stretching our Capital dollars to get moreaccomplished with the same amount of funds.

ADDITIONAL PROJECTSADDRESSED IN 2014• Road Overlay Program - paved two miles of road,addressing the worst condition roads in LMCC

• Delinquent accounts - addressed the softwareconfigurations necessary to effectively managethis area, updated and clarified the collectionprocedures, improved our collection rates,identified bad debt and updated our accounts

• Strategic Plan - 70% complete, will be finished in2015.

• Reserve Study - completed in 2014,now the task of implementing the findingsfrom the study needs to proceed.

• Clubhouse renovations - the most glaringaesthetics issues have been addressed,additional infrastructure needs for 2015.

As you can see, we have had a busy year! Inaddition, the Board of Trustees has been workingon several changes to the By-Laws that bring ourgoverning document in a closer parallel to thechanging laws and regulations that affect ourcommunity, increase our options to gather votesfrom our membership, and improve our community’sability to monitor, implement, and enforce the rulesand regulations of LMCC. I ask you for your supportin several key areas at the annual meeting:

• Electronic Voting - In order to encourage greatervoter participation by our membership, we areadvocating the ability to conduct votingelectronically, in addition to in person orabsentee balloting. A sample electronic vote andelectronic survey will be sent out with the annualmeeting notice to show membership what thisprocess would look like.


Center Section

• Election of President - this amendment wouldchange the method of voting for President of theBoard of Trustees, changing the vote forPresident to the reorganization meeting, the votebeing conducted by the members of the Board ofTrustees. This would eliminate the issue of thecandidate on the ballot not being reelected forthe Board, and absentee ballots and electronicballot voters not having an opportunity to votefor the office of President.

• Trustee Term Limits - this amendment wouldlimit the serving of a Board member to no morethan two full consecutive terms. The intent hereis to encourage greater participation by themembership in the Board, and to ensure thatfresh perspectives are being introduced to thegovernance of our community.

• Alternative Dispute Resolution and access tofinancial records - establishes the authority ofthe Alternative Dispute Resolution program andoutlines the membership’s right of access to theClub’s financial records.

Please take the time to review the proposed By-Laws amendments in this month’s Papoose andcome to one of three Membership InformationalMeetings in October to discuss any questions orconcerns. The Membership Informational Meetings inOctober will be Sunday the 12th at 3pm, Sunday the19th at 1pm, and Wednesday evening the 22nd at7pm. I look forward to seeing you there.

WHAT’S AHEAD FOR 2015?Our challenges remain heavy for next year. Here area few of the issues that I see as important for theBoard to address going forward:

• Alternative Dispute Resolution program - this isa key component of our ability to address someof the policies that we currently have in placeand some that our membership has asked theBoard to address going forward. The AestheticsCommittee currently has the responsibility ofenforcing our codes, along with Sparta andByram Townships. This program will give ourcommunity the ability to affect aesthetics andother issues more effectively. Membership willneed to be actively involved in this area as wedevelop the ADR itself, as well as review thepolicies and ramifications for non-compliance.

CHANGE FOR LMCC• Strategic Plan - this will need to be completed in2015 so that we can continue to ensure that thedecisions we make today will benefit the longterm goals for our community as well as servethe present.

• Reserve Study - The BOT will be forming a taskforce to evaluate how to best implement therecommendations of the Reserve Study. As withthe Strategic Plan, this will benefit our communityby addressing our current infrastructure needs aswell as those in the future.

• Delinquent Accounts - much of the groundworkhas been laid in 2014 to address this issue.2015 will see the introduction of a payment planprogram for CAM charges and a much shortercollection process for delinquent accounts.

• Members Room - the Papoose Room is in theprocess of being converted to a Members Room -complete with a cozy gas fireplace, big screen TVand comfortable furniture. The MembershipServices area will be moved from the LMCCBusiness Office to this room, and it will beavailable for members to use for a meeting placeand conduct all membership related business.

It has been my honor and pleasure to serve asPresident of the Board of Trustees of Lake MohawkCountry Club. Our accomplishments in 2014 aresignificant, but we have much more to do. The Boardhas worked very hard to manage not only the needsof our community today, but establish the frameworkfor sound management of our community in thefuture. Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Greg Yuskaitis

Being on the Board of Trusteesrequires the desire to make a differenceas well as the ability to build con-sensus, the foresight to move ourcommunity forward, while preservingthe ambience that makes Lake Mohawka special place to live. I feel I possessthose qualities.I have training in consensus building

having attained a Mediation Certificationearned via The Quinnipiac/UConn/Yale ADR Program. I have practicalexperience while sitting on the PinesLake Association Board of Trustees. Iauthored the Boat and Docking Protocoland the Security Staff Guidelines whileserving as The Security and ExternalAffairs Trustee, both of which wereapproved unanimously. During mytenure the Boat Docking Chairmanposition was also absorbed intoSecurity. I also had to have the toughconversations regarding possible sus-pensions and/or revocation proceedingsbrought against some members.I have practical experience with non-

profit management while serving as a

Manager at The Rusty Screw Tavern onthe College Avenue Campus of RutgersUniversity in New Brunswick. I also havea certification in Non-Profit Managementthrough William Paterson University.I have an understanding of money and

finance not only through classwork, butalso through operating my own business.I was an owner/operator of a nightclubin Ridgewood. I have also served as theManaging Director of the leadingdiscount lender in the Northeast,Crossroads Finance, which was foundedin Lake Mohawk in 2000.I am an experienced negotiator having

nothing if they cannot be communicated.I have presented educational seminarsbefore Boards of Realtors, financeprofessionals and the general public, aswell as having worked as a PersonalTrainer since 1993. One of my clientswent on to become Ms. New Jersey.Lastly, I wish to preserve the character

of Lake Mohawk and the reservation. Iam an avid outdoorsman who wouldrather be cycling, hiking, or paddlingthan in an office and when it is cold andsnowy you are as apt to find mesnowshoeing as sitting at home.Do not get me wrong, I am an avid

Having good communicationskills has been critical in all mypositions, whether speaking with parentsabout their children, or conducingpublic meetings to discuss SuperfundSite remediation, or acting as anexpert witness in legal cases. Thesecommunication skills are critical to thesuccessful management of the LakeMohawk community.


Having been summer residents aschildren, my wife Janice and me bothknew we wanted to live at Lake Mohawkpermanently. Fortunately, we were ableto achieve that goal and have lived herefor over thirty years and raised our twochildren here. Our family has beeninvolved in community activities indifferent ways.

telecommunications technology forseveral large companies and callcenters. This provided me opportunitiesto manage projects of various sizesand also to plan and manage budgetswhile interacting with diverse staffand contractors.My greatest concern is preserving the

culture and appearance of the Clubproperties and the community. Therehas been occasional discussion ofallowing multi-family housing in thereservation. I believe that this would bedetrimental to the nature and lifestyle ofthe Club.Next in importance is the means and

effort to communicate information tothe members. Great strides have beenmade to supplement the informationdistributed through the Papoose. I mustapplaud this but I have concerns thatimportant information has not beenpresented completely or in timely

fashion. This requires improvement.Another concern is the fragility of the

financial structure of the Club. It isevident that expenses have to bemanaged wisely and it should be donewith an eye on the current economy andits effect on the members. Presently,New Jersey has the fourth highestnumber of pending foreclosures in thecountry. I would like to see the Clubinvestigate innovative and equitablemeans to levy and collect dues andassessments.The Boardwalk Club is another area of

opportunity to excel. It is a unique assetthat should be the focal point ofmembership. The management is to becongratulated for efforts to expand theuse which will help control costs. Thismust be supported.With this as background I am seeking

a position on the Board of Trustees inorder to offer my experience andperspective in guiding the future of theClub. I hope you will agree and willsupport me in this effort.
