The 2026 Annual meeting of the Viking Valley Association was held on October 4, 2026 at 1:00 PM in the Upper Clubhouse. Board Members present were: Michelle Sullivan (Lot #1826) – Board President, Dan Weidmaier (Lot #309) – 1st Vice President, Dave Schaefer (Lot #1227) – 2nd Vice President, Christina Lindsay (Lot #429) – Secretary, Tom Rice (Lot #343) – Assistant Secretary, Robert Walton (Lot #217) – Treasurer, Dave Daniel (Lot #231) – Assistant Treasurer.
Michelle read our mission statement: Lake Viking is a private lake aspiring to preserve our community and environment for future generations. The pledge was led by Brian Holcomb, Managing Director. Dave Daniel offered a moment of silence for members we have lost, and then he prayed. Every board member introduced themselves.
Tom made a motion to approve the orders of the day. Dave Schaefer seconded the motion. Motion passed. There were 122 members in attendance.
Tom made a motion to approve the minutes from the September 13, 2026 board meeting. Dave Schaefer seconded the motion. Motion passed.
A motion to approve the September 2026 financial statements was not made because we are waiting for the accountant to complete it. The September financials will be considered at the November Board meeting.
Michelle gave the president’s report:
Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for being here today. It is good to see so many familiar faces, and I want to offer a special welcome to our new members joining the community.
It has been a pleasure to serve our membership over the past year. This marks my third full year on the Board and my second as President. I know how much this community means to the people in this room, and I’m grateful for the chance to share what we have worked on together.
Our mission is to preserve our community and environment for future generations. That means caring for the place we enjoy today while making thoughtful decisions for the people who will come after us. It takes all of us—members, employees, volunteers, and the Board—working together.
Over the past several years, the Board has focused on caring for the parts of Lake Viking that needed attention. We have continued to maintain aging amenities, improve safety, use Association resources responsibly, and plan for the future. That work includes completed or ongoing improvements to the pool, Safety and Fire Building, docks, roads, storm sirens, buoys, vehicles, equipment, technology, and the Clubhouse septic system. We have also invested in safer facilities and equipment for the employees who care for our community every day.
Some of these changes are easy to see. Others happen behind the scenes, but they matter to the people who live here, visit here, and work here. We have made this progress while keeping regular dues and assessments steady and carefully considering how Association funds are spent.
We have also continued to strengthen internal controls, policies, and procedures. They help us treat people fairly, make decisions consistently, and serve our members well.
The Board has had to address several complicated issues that have remained unresolved for many years. We are evaluating the dues and assessment structure, addressing questions about the fire department’s service boundaries, and planning for the long-term needs of our facilities, infrastructure, lake health, and finances. We know members have questions about these matters. They deserve careful work, honest answers, and opportunities for members to be heard.
We want every member to feel informed and confident about the Lake Viking Fire Department. We have true public servants on our team—people who care about this community and step forward when help is needed. Our focus is on facts, not fear, and helping members understand our department’s capabilities and the improvements we have made, from certifications and training to vehicles, equipment, and other resources that support their work.
That is why we plan to hold a town hall meeting on October 25. You will be able to meet the people who respond when help is needed, learn about their credentials and training, and see the vehicles and equipment they use. They will explain how these resources help them respond to fires, medical calls, and emergencies on the water.
We also plan to have our insurance agent join us to explain Lake Viking’s ISO rating and what it means for members. We want to discuss the strengths of our hydrants and access to lake water, along with how our rating compares with surrounding areas.
We look forward to bringing everyone together to learn, ask questions, and better understand the resources available to our community. We will share the meeting time and additional details soon.
Our office is another facility that needs serious attention. Although it may look acceptable from the outside, it is an aging mobile home with moisture damage, deteriorating floors, and structural limitations that make remodeling difficult. The employees who work there, and the members and guests who visit, deserve a safe, functional space. The Board has spent months considering how best to address it, and you will hear more about the proposed replacement today.
We have been working with the Association’s attorney on a broader review of our Covenants and Bylaws. Some provisions are outdated or unclear, and others need to be reconciled with Missouri law. We will address a few specific provisions today.
The Board understands the importance of these documents and is taking the time needed for a careful review. The Covenants were revised in 2006 to continue in perpetuity, meaning they remain in effect unless properly amended. There is no need to rush the broader review. Starting in early 2027, we intend to share clear information and give members time to ask questions, offer their views, and participate in the process in a committee participation.
Today, we will elect two members to the Board and vote on the proposed 2027 budget. I am pleased to share that the budget keeps regular dues and assessments at the same amount for another year. If approved, this will be our second consecutive annual meeting without an increase and our third membership year at the same amount. Our employees, the Finance Committee, and the Board have put considerable care into preparing and reviewing it.
You will also be asked to consider aligning the membership year with the calendar year and a separate, one-time assessment to replace the office. If the membership year change is approved, members will pay only for May through December 2027 because January through April was covered by their 2026 payment. If both proposals are approved at the amounts presented today, the total amount members pay in 2027 will be less than they paid in each of the past two years. Members will also be able to continue making payments through May 1 without a penalty. We will walk through each proposal and its financial impact before you vote.
We know that all dollar members contribute represents a commitment to this community. We take our responsibility as stewards of those funds seriously, and we will keep looking for practical ways to work efficiently and care for the facilities and amenities we share. As the costs of goods, labor, and insurance rise, we will be open with you about those pressures and plan carefully for what Lake Viking needs next.
You will hear from several committees today and receive an update from our Lake Manager, Brian Holcomb. I want to thank Brian, his team, my fellow Board members, and our committee volunteers. They give Lake Viking their time, skill, and care, often in ways most of us never see.
Several committees could use additional members. If there is an area you care about, I hope you will consider getting involved. Your ideas, questions, and willingness to help are valuable.
There is much we can be proud of, and there is more work ahead. We will continue caring for our amenities, listening to members, and making decisions with Lake Viking’s long-term well-being in mind.
I will leave you with this thought: Lake Viking has given our families a place to make memories for generations. Together, we can care for it today and leave it stronger for those who come after us.
Thank you.
Michelle introduced the committee members and expressed gratitude for their willingness to volunteer their time and all of their efforts.
Brian recognized the employees: Yvonne Erickson, Office Manager; Donita Green, Customer Service Specialist; Rusty Hendricks, Maintenance Manager; Nick Walker and Mike Head, Maintenance Team Members; Jason McTheeney, Safety Manager; Rex Fults, Safety Assistant Manager; Tyson Martin, Colt Baker, and Kegan Jones, Safety Team Members; Mary and Flint Hibler, outgoing Campground Managers after 26 years of service; Amanda and Tony Renfro, new Campground Managers; and Peggy Lankford, who cleans the office, clubhouse, campground bathrooms, beach bathrooms, and the pool as an independent contractor. Nick and Peggy were unable to attend the meeting.
Michelle gave lifesaving awards to Jessica Compton (Lot #1149), Stephanie Closterman (Lot #1900), Mark Closterman (Lot #1900), Safety team member Colt Baker, and Safety Manager Jason McTheeney for their actions on Saturday, July 4, 2026 when Daviess County 911 dispatched a call regarding an unresponsive adult female at the Lake Viking Church. Lake Viking Fire Department personnel were the first to arrive, and their rapid response and effective teamwork to provide CPR and utilize the AED were critical in maintaining the patient’s viability during those crucial early moments. Jessica accompanied the patient in the ambulance. The patient was subsequently airlifted to a Kansas City hospital, where she ultimately survived. It is without question that the patient’s survival is a direct result of the immediate recognition of cardiac arrest and the decisive, skilled actions taken by Jessica, Stephanie, Mark, Colt, and Jason. Their professionalism, training, and composure under pressure exemplify the highest standards of emergency response and reflect great credit upon themselves and the Lake Viking community.
Brian gave the Director’s Report.
The last year has been busy. Michelle summarized some of the great things we accomplished this year, and I would like to get in the weeds from an operational standpoint.
Last year I told you about our efforts to transition the Association toward a lean organization model, both with manpower and equipment. We have been successful in replacing outdated equipment and improving amenities within the budget, while maintaining a high level of productivity with a smaller number of employees.
We still operate each day with 3 basic goals in mind:
• Treat every member the same – the rules apply to all members.
• Save money without sacrificing the quality of service.
• Make the lake a safe, clean and enjoyable place for members.
We finished the first full year with Rapid Removal, enjoying better trash service while saving $41,000 compared to the final year with our previous provider. We transitioned from Condo to HOALife, which created some growing pains for members who had to learn the new system and update pet and guest information. But HOALife has proved to be a better fit for Lake Viking, improving processes like Building Permit applications while saving the Association approximately $17,000 per year. Lastly, we changed health insurance for our employees, obtaining better coverage with local providers and saved the Association more than $12,000 per year. These 3 contract changes created $70,000 in annual savings for the Association.
We conducted a comprehensive review of the Association’s liability insurance coverage. We found Starr to be the only provider interested in covering our risks, mostly because of the lake itself. The review identified several low-cost recommendations that will help mitigate risks and better position the Association to defend against liability claims, and we will work to implement these items during the winter.
Our strongest assets are our employees, and I am thankful that the Board understands this and supports our employees. I would like to share some of the strengths and challenges our employees face at Lake Viking.
The office has been successful in contract evaluation and negotiations (obtaining better services and saving money, which I’ve already covered), collecting on past-due accounts, fiscal management and tighter spending controls. In August, I reported that Donita contacted 56 of the 224 past due accounts and collected $17,468. Yvonne is the office manager, but she is also our financial analyst and controller. Yvonne now creates the budget for the Finance Committee to review and critique, greatly reducing the time needed from volunteer committee members. She has also brought consistency to our daily budgeting, adhering to and enforcing tight spending controls. And both ladies are working to convert historic paper building permit applications to electronic format, to better assist the Building Committee. The biggest challenge we currently face in the office is the 224 past due accounts that currently owe the Association $882,000. We are working with the Association’s attorney to place liens on some of the properties, but we also must be realistic about our chances of collecting on accounts that owe the Association more than their lot is worth.
Rusty has been busy this year keeping up with dredging and Dredge Committee projects, Special Road District projects, a record year of rainfall that has greatly extended the mowing season and responding to member reports about roads and erosion control issues. Nick has worked at Lake Viking for many years, and Mike was hired part-time in March to help with the dredge and then became a full-time maintenance employee in June. If you’ve driven around the lake very often, you’ve probably seen Nick and Mike mowing or working on dredge projects. We are excited to finish the 3-year chip and seal plan that was started several years ago. The third year was put on hold indefinitely, but later this month the last roads in the plan will be completed. We have completed some important equipment upgrades, disposing of worn-out equipment and making investments in equipment that will serve Lake Viking for many years to come. The tractor purchase in this year’s budget means we no longer have to lease a second tractor, thereby saving between $7,500 to $8,500 each year depending on the state contract lease that is available. This means the tractor will pay for itself in 9 years of saved lease payments with many more years of useful life remaining. We will also replace the zero-turn mowers in 2027, which we do every 2 years to keep the machines in warranty. Maintenance continues to be challenged with maintaining 31 miles of roads with a budget of roughly $10,000 per mile. To put that number in context, the roads we are chip and sealing later this month cost $30,000 per mile. And there are still 166 road tubes that are more than 50 years old, so we replace as many as we can each year starting with those that show the most deterioration.
In Safety, you just witnessed Jason and Colt as they were recognized for their lifesaving efforts. Colt is an EMT, so we are fortunate to have him at Lake Viking. Kegan has been instrumental in helping the Daviess County Sheriff remove bad actors from Lake Viking; earlier this year he identified a man sitting in a car near the campground and found he was a registered sex offender, and just last week he identified a subject who burglarized a home at Lake Viking. Rex, Safety’s Assistant Manager, has brought consistency and standardization to several HOALife processes, including building permits, real estate signs, and other forms submitted by members. Tyson, the newest member of the Safety team, was hired in March to help with the dredge and became a full-time Safety employee in June. Tyson has spent many years of his life at Lake Viking, so he brings a wealth of historical knowledge about the lake and already knows many members. This is the first full year that Safety used Go Pros, and they proved to be successful for Safety and the Infraction Committee. The biggest challenge for Safety is hiring part-time employees in the summer. The practice has served Lake Viking for many years in the past, but it no longer works. The applicant pool for summer employment is small; most applicants looking for summer work are in college and become disinterested when they learn they will have to work evenings, holidays and weekends, learn 54 pages of rules in the handbook, and enforce those rules – all within a few short months. This is a challenging path to success for summer employees and has occasionally resulted in confusion for members when incorrect information about rules was inadvertently communicated by summer employees.
The Fire Department went through some changes this year. Tony Gronniger stepped down as chief and moved into a consultant role, and Dennis Schlaiss subsequently became chief in March. Dennis has been on the Lake Viking Fire Department roster for 18 years, and he has the same goals as Tony – improve the department and its ISO rating. Dennis named Tyson Martin the assistant chief after Tyson transitioned to full-time employment. The industry best practice for volunteer fire departments is to have 1 or 2 paid employees, such as the chief and assistant chief, who handle the administrative tasks with the rest of the department consisting of volunteers. The Lake Viking Fire Department is fortunate to have several Safety and Maintenance employees working full-time, leaving only a few hours overnight when volunteers would be relied on for a response. Tyson has numerous federal and state fire certifications and is certified as a trainer. He previously served as the Harrison County Emergency Management Director and maintains numerous contacts with area fire departments. Recently, Tyson obtained fire and rescue equipment from the Eagleville Fire Department, including personal gear and jaws of life. Tyson also submitted a matching grant application to the Missouri Department of Conservation, one of the few public grants we qualify for as a private fire department, and we will know the outcome of that application when the decision is announced in November. The Board authorized the use of Deferred Capital Maintenance reserve funds to replace the tanker in July, and the 2027 budget includes funding for a portable fire pump kit to install on one of our boats, new handheld radios and a repeater tower to improve radio communications around the lake.
The Lake Viking Fire Department currently has 9 employees and 13 volunteer members on its roster. The department has received 42 calls for service year-to-date, through today. Forty calls occurred between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m., and two occurred at or after midnight. The Association plans to have Safety and Maintenance employees available during the hours when most calls occur and, similar to other volunteer fire departments, relies on member volunteers when employees are not available.
Among the fire department’s 22 rostered members are 6 EMTs and 4 First Responders, 2 of whom are trained in basic life support. Seven members have fire training, including 2 fire instructors, and those members have a combined 42 years of fire experience. Six members hold multiple emergency management certifications, and most other volunteer members have past experiences with fire, medical, and emergency response agencies.
The biggest challenge for the fire department is the $10,000 budget used to maintain coverage of an estimated $1 billion in member and Association combined assets.
What does next year look like?
We received engineer stamped plans for the clubhouse septic project. The rainy weather has complicated the contractor’s plans to start the project before the end of the year, so we plan to start it after the ground thaws next spring. The funds needed for this project have already been set aside in reserves.
The 2027 budget includes funding to repair the septic systems at Beach 2 and Beach 3. We also plan to address several member-owned septic systems that are allegedly leaking, according to reports from other members. This important topic is necessary to protect the health of both the lake’s ecosystem and everyone who enters the water.
The proposed budget also includes funds for shelter renovations at Beach 1, Beach 2, Beach 3 and Community Area 23, as well as adding concrete inside the fence around the pool. And thanks to the Activities Committee, we will add 2 more pergolas around the pool.
We are in a better place now than we were last year, but we aren’t where we want to be. There’s more work to be done and the employees will continue to work with members and the Board to build upon our strengths and to confront the challenges we face.
On behalf of the employees, thank you for letting us play a part in preserving Lake Viking for future generations. And thank you for letting me serve as your lake manager.
Dave Daniel reported for the Dredge Committee. Over the last year the committee has removed approximately 50,000 cubic yards of silt from the Yacht Club area. Multiple projects are listed for the year 2027, including working on making more containment ponds. Rusty, Maintenance Manager, has assisted the Dredge Committee in looking at sites. Some of the possible sites are larger than we can handle, so we may need to get 3 contractor bids. The committee is trying to accomplish a lot, while staying within their budget. Dave Daniel clarified that it costs as much to remove silt from the lake as it does to store it.
Dave Schaefer reported for the Finance Committee.
Due to the timing of our Morgan Stanley and September Lake financial statements for this month we have not had our October Finance Committee meeting yet. We will be having a detailed finance committee meeting and Morgan Stanley presentation next Thursday and will be reporting on that at our November meeting.
So for this report I will be reviewing our annual finance committee report. This report entails the success of the lake office, strategic planning committee, board as a conglomeration of teamwork. This reflects on all of our committee’s work and everyone else as well.
Over the past year, the Finance Committee continued its monthly review of VVA’s financial position while also becoming more involved in long-range planning, investment oversight, cost control, collections, and major capital projects.
Overall, VVA has remained in a strong financial position. Throughout the year, the committee reviewed monthly financial statements, income and expenses, balance-sheet activity, and significant variances. In 2026, we added a more formal variance-reporting process to identify significant differences from budget and prior-year results, allowing the committee to focus more quickly on areas that warrant additional review.
One of the year’s most measurable successes was expense reduction. The change in trash-service providers produced $41,692 in savings during the first 12 months. Additional savings were achieved or identified in other areas, including employee insurance, HOA management software, capital expenditures, and workers’ compensation.
Collections were another area of significant progress. At the end of 2025, staff collection efforts resulted in the recovery of nearly $100,000 in previously uncollected debt. Those efforts continued in 2026, including additional collections, lien activity, and development of a more systematic approach for addressing delinquent accounts.
The committee also continued oversight of VVA’s Morgan Stanley investment account. Despite periods of market volatility, the account grew substantially over the longer term. By August 2026, its value had reached approximately $2.21 million. The committee also initiated a more detailed review of individual holdings, requested changes to underperforming investments, and established recurring meetings with Morgan Stanley for more formal portfolio oversight.
Another significant focus was VVA’s capital needs. We need to continue this board’s focus of being proactive vs. reactive. So, during the year, the committee reviewed or helped plan funding for projects including the Safety Building, Campground 2 electrical improvements, clubhouse septic replacement, new storm sirens, fire department tanker, maintenance equipment and vehicles, and proposed replacement of the Association office. The storm siren project was completed during the year, as were the Safety Building rehabilitation and Campground 2 electrical improvements.
The Finance Committee also began working more closely with the Strategic Planning Committee. A joint meeting was held to establish the framework for a five-year capital plan, including asset replacement, community and campground facilities, replacement reserves, funding sources, and the timing and cost of future projects.
VVA-owned property was another area of activity. The committee reviewed pricing and marketing strategies for Association-owned lots throughout the year, resulting in the sale of multiple properties and additional revenue to the Association.
Insurance coverage received a significant review as well. After reviewing VVA’s property coverage and replacement costs, the insured replacement-cost valuation was increased from approximately $639,000 to $1.695 million. The committee recommended the updated coverage to the Board to better protect Association assets.
Finally, considerable work was devoted to preparation for the 2027 budget and October Annual Meeting, including review of dues and assessments, possible alignment of the membership and fiscal years, the proposed office replacement, and related bylaw changes.
Overall, the Finance Committee’s focus this year has been not only on reviewing where VVA stands financially today, but also on improving the systems and planning that will help protect the Association financially in the years ahead.
Finally, I want to request to have all Finance Committee and Strategic Planning Committee members including Lake office staff to stand in recognition of their efforts as volunteers.
Michelle reviewed the rules of voting, which were also in the packet that was handed out to membership. Members expressed concerns about the vote to align the membership year with the fiscal year. The concerns that were expressed included the fact that the due date would still be May 1, while the membership year would begin on Jan. 1. One point of impact, if it passed, would be that members would need to pay their dues and assessments before they can have their watercraft stickered. It was confirmed that those dates are correct, and any member needs to pay their dues and assessments before stickering their watercraft. Another concern was how, or if, it would affect the gate codes at the maintenance gate. The span of time from Jan. 1 through May 1 was a concern for many.
Other concerns were expressed about the vote for a one-time assessment for an office replacement. Some of the requests from membership were to have specific contractor bids before asking for a vote. The board explained that exact bids were not obtained due to the fact that they would like local contractors to complete the project, and an estimate early in the process would eliminate those contractors from the official sealed bid when the time comes. This is why the board wanted to approve the project financially before obtaining bids from contractors. Many members stated that we need a new office building, however many felt that we should get the bids first and then vote for the amount of money it will cost. Matthew McCubbin (Lot #MH127) motioned to table this vote due to lack of information. David Dirks (Lot #721) seconded the motion. The Board then chose to remove the office assessment from the ballot.
Michelle indicated members could vote on the budget, the alignment of the membership year, and the by-law changes.
After ballots were collected, Board candidates took the floor and spoke to membership. This year there were 2 open positions, and 3 candidates.
Dana Granberg-Nill (Lot #521) introduced herself as a long-time member of Lake Viking. She purchased her first lot 22 years ago, and Lake Viking had become a staple for her family. Her children grew up with other members’ children, and those same children now visit her with their spouses. She served on the Missouri Academy of Family Physicians Board of Directors and spent approximately 20 years practicing family medicine. Dana explained that she was part owner in the building she practiced with, which gives her insight to know the difference between an investment property versus being invested in your property. Dana recently retired from being Chief Operating Officer of a national faith-based health and wellness private membership association. Her experience has given her the opportunity to learn the importance of creativity, flexibility, and thinking outside the box to solve problems. Dana also has experience as an HOA spouse. Her husband serves on an HOA board, so she has genuine appreciation for the time, and sometimes difficult positions, board members willingly take on. She mentioned that her and her husband are competitive, so she would like to serve on the board here so they can compete over who does better, she would always vote for Lake Viking. Dana listed some of her goals, which include identifying problems earlier, building processes that work, and keeping the organization aligned with its mission and vision. Dana believes that good governance isn’t just picking the right answer, it is learning through the process. She closed by stating that she wants people to feel heard. Members asked Dana a couple questions, including what her lot number is and if she had served on any Lake Viking Committees or attended any Lake Viking Board Meetings in the last year. Dana answered that she had not served on any committees and had attended one board meeting in either 2025 or 2026. She explained that she is in a different season of life now, and is willing to give of her time for the benefit of the community.
Michelle introduced herself, emphasizing her deep personal connection to the community where her family has made memories for over 30 years across three generations. She served on the Board for three years, including two years as President. She worked closely with Brian, employees, and committee volunteers, which makes her appreciate the time, thought, and effort everyone puts into caring for the lake. Michelle brings more than 25 years of experience in banking and finance, specializing in risk management, regulatory compliance, operational risk, human resources, and governance. She has used these skills to resolve complex organizational matters and strengthen internal controls. She said her experience has taught her to ask careful questions, work through difficult issues, and focus on outcomes that serve the people who depend on an organization. Michelle is committed to clearer communication and greater accountability. She is proud to have kept regular dues and assessments steady while simultaneously upgrading aging amenities, making the lake safer, and finding better ways to get the work done. Michelle would like to be proactive and maintain the amenities we have improved, as opposed to kicking the can down the road. She emphasized that the future of Lake Viking belongs to its membership, promising to ensure that member voices continue to actively shape board decisions and protect the lake for the next generation.
Robert introduced himself and said he joined the Lake Committee 6 years ago, and at that time, his main goal was to get lights on the buoys. Well today, we have even better buoys with better lights on them. The last 3 years he has been working with committees and he recognizes that it isn’t the board that takes care of Lake Viking, it is the board, committees, members, and employees who take care of Lake Viking. He explained that every committee has a Board Contact that they report to. He said that he is proud of the committees, they go through the handbook and decide if a rule still applies, or if a rule needs to be added. Then they bring that handbook change request to the board for a vote at board meetings. Robert served on the Building Committee as Board Contact as well as Chair for a while, he acknowledged that it is hard work. He said that the change to HOALife has helped the committee a lot with their building permit process. Robert said he loves to meet members at their lots to see what they want to do. He always has the goal in mind, “If you want to do it, then I want to help you do it, provided it is in the handbook.” Robert clarified that he is the Treasurer on the board, and that the Finance Committee does an amazing job, which makes the job of the Treasurer easier. Member questions included what his professional background is. Robert said that he was a quality engineer at a farm equipment manufacturer.
