2023 Dues Invoices
2023 annual dues unpaid at this time are now
delinquent. A late fee as set forth in our Bylaws ($25 for
Class A & B, $10 for Class C) has been added to your outstanding
balance. Please include your late fee with your payment.
Invoices with late fees included have been mailed.
Dues payment status as of
8/6/23:
As of 2/18/23 all dues invoices have been mailed.
Questions regarding the increase in the dues amounts for 2023 may
be answered after reviewing the following information:
Annual dues are determined by vote of the
general membership during our Fall General Membership Meeting, held
on 9/2/2022. A synopsis of that meeting has been posted on
the home page of our website since 9/12. During the Fall
General meeting there was a lengthy discussion about cove and boat
ramp area dredging and the options for island dock repair. As
documented in the minutes from the meeting (the full draft minutes
are available on our website), the membership determined we had
insufficient funds to complete all of the projects being requested
so they proposed an increase to the dues, which was approved by
vote of the membership.
Dues for 2023 are: Class A - $300; Class B - $295;
Class C - $35.
The approved meeting
minutes from the Fall 2022 General Meeting can be found below. |

Boat Ramp
Access
There are no set hours for the boat ramp. For
an appointment, riparian Members please call a trustee with at least 24
hours advance notice. Appointments cannot be made online. See
additional ramp access contacts below.
In order to use the RLI boat ramp, our boat
ramp use policy, consistent with our Bylaws is:
- Your RLI annual dues for 2023 and all prior years must be paid for
all lots owned;
- Watercraft must be titled to Runyan Lake riparian property owners
or their renters; (State and local law)
- Renters must request boat stickers through the property owner.
- Your state of Michigan watercraft registration must be current and
displayed on the watercraft; (State law)
- A 2023 RLI boat sticker must be present on the watercraft (RLI
Bylaws Section 8.02);
- An RLI liability waiver should be on file (RLI Bylaws Section
8.02).
Click
HERE for more ramp use
information.
Watercraft and trailers
must be clean if coming from another water body to minimize risk of
introducing invasive species. Please require any marina or trailer
service you utilize to do the same. Michigan’s Natural Resources and
Environmental Protection Act (Act 451 of 1994) Part 413 has been amended
with changes for boaters and anglers that take effect March 21, 2019.
Learn more here or see below. Please protect your lake!

Purple Loosestrife
Alert
Purple Loosestrife matures in the late summer/early fall.
If you
see and can access the invasive plant (spikes of purple
flowers), please cut off the blooms and bag them carefully in a plastic
garbage bag. Tie up the bag and place it in your trash. One plant has
millions of seeds that will fall and reseed the plant next year if not removed. This is an undesirable
invasive plant that will choke out native plants, especially in pond,
shoreline, and wetland areas.
More information and
pictures can be found here.

Sewer Rate Increase!
Jan 2023 (current) rate: $256.00 per quarter
On 12/1/15 the Tyrone Township Board approved
increases to our quarterly sewer O&M fees for 2016 - 2021 of
approximately 3.5% annually.
Annual increases are expected to
continue thereafter. RLI remains
concerned about the large cost incurred by RLI Members while most of the
Tyrone Township sewer system remains unused. We will continue to work with the Drain
Commission and Township in an effort to control costs and require others to
pay their fair share.
Please contact Pam Moughler, Clerk, or
Jennifer Eden, Treasurer, @ 810-629-8631 with your questions, concerns, or
complaints.
Jan 2023 (current) rate: $256.00/quarter
Rate details and rate history can be found on the on the Sewer page.
We now pay $1024/yr for sewer service, an increase
of $724/yr (241%) since 2004! This does not
include the special assessment levied for the 2003 system upgrade, an additional
$300/yr for most, or the additional $650 assessment for the grinder pump!
Are we really paying our fair share or are we
subsidizing the rest of the undeveloped system?
Ask your township officials
about the debt service charge we pay, and who's sewer service we are also
paying for as a result!
