2023 Lake Mission Viejo Association Board of Directors Candidates: 

Joe Bolich - incumbent Board President

 

Candidate Statement from Joe Bolich:

I have had the privilege of serving on the Lake Mission Viejo Board of Directors since early 2018 and was honored to serve as President over the past 12 months.  I remain proud of how well the current board is working together and look forward to continuing the progress on several fronts toward keeping our lake such a wonderful place.

I have worked in partnership with the board in taking some large steps to address the lake water issues by hiring a well-respected engineering firm to help with the expansion of the Advanced Purified Water Treatment Facility and addressing the issue of Golden Algae and water clarity.   This remains my #1 priority.  While remaining cautiously optimistic, I am excited by the recent stocking of almost 2,500 pounds of fish into our lake and to encourage active fishing once again.

I am also pleased by the re-opening of the snack bar at East Beach, which had been shuttered for many years.

My 22 years of experience in the Homeowner Association industry and working in a large master planned community provides me the necessary experience in many of the issues facing our beautiful lake and in working with our trusted partners.

In my time on the Lake Mission Viejo Board, I have served on numerous committees, including the long-range planning committee and continue to serve as Chairperson of the Landscape Committee.

I appreciate your consideration and would be honored to continue to serve our members and community with your support.
