Message from the Board of Directors President (October 2026)
As vibrant fall colors peak across Northern Michigan, our community remains focused and productive. October is a pivotal month of transition for PIHA as we finalize seasonal facility tasks, prepare our amenities for winter, and advance major capital and technology projects. I would like to take this opportunity to update you on our key developments over the past month.
Pool Replacement & Exercise Facility Project Update
We continue to make significant progress toward bringing our new pool building and expanded fitness center to fruition:
- Contract Formalization: Following the Board’s approval on September 22nd accepting the low bids from DeVere Industrial and Midwest Pools, our legal counsel reviewed the formal construction contract. The agreement has been sent to DeVere for final review, approval, and incorporation of their detailed construction schedule.
- Project Financing Approved: On October 5th, the Board officially approved moving forward with Nicolet Bank for project financing. Tim is actively working with Nicolet Bank to finalize loan processing. The financing has been approved by the bank, and we are now in the final step, which is the appraisal process required for the loan. They have indicated to us it will take around 18 business days for the appraisal to be completed due to the unique nature of our property.
Infrastructure, Operations & Technology
- Clubhouse Improvements (hailstorm remediation): The punch list for remaining clubhouse improvements was submitted to MVP, with final closeout review pending the installation of replacement Anderson windows. Additionally, PIE&G is scheduling 3-phase electrical line work to support the new pool HVAC units and activity room rooftop units.
- North Bay Beach House Property Line: Lewis & Lewis Surveying completed and staked the boundary line. Preliminary survey markers indicate an impact on the existing parking lot that is currently on Mr. Perkin’s property. The Clubhouse, Pool, and Beach Committee are reviewing options and are planning to bring their recommendations to the Board at the November meeting for consideration.
- IT & Systems Modernization: Implementation of our new operational management platform and QuickBooks Online (QBO) accounting engine is progressing. Initial property data imports have been completed and reviewed for accuracy, admin access is active, and live bank feeds (Nicolet Bank & AAACU) are configured for post-migration activation. QBO team training is underway for required staff members. Target go-live for QBO is set for November 1st, with full system transition by December 31, 2026. Expect additional communication regarding the new software implementation and all the new benefits to the members this system will bring to PIHA.
- Campground & Seasonal Operations: 2027 camping rates are posted online. There are 5 seasonal sites available for the 2027 Camping Season and the Cabins are available for October Fall Color Tours. Please contact Amy Dodge at (989) 595-2174 for further information and reservations. Campers Village water shut-off is scheduled for November 1st, and electrical shut-off for November 30th (a port-a-potty will remain available for November hunters). All RVs and personal items must be removed by December 1st.
