Shiloh Park

In 2024 the Board sought to transfer the Common Area known as Shiloh Park to the Washington Township Parks and Recreation Department to manage and improve. Initially a vote for a transfer was assumed to need the board’s approval only.

After the township’s lawyer reviewed our Articles of Incorporation it was shown that a 2/3rds approval of all Owners was necessary.

The necessary amount of votes to approve or deny the transfer was not hit in 2024. At the moment the vote is on hold but the Board can always seek those out that have not casted their vote yet.

At this time other avenues such as a lease or a Perpetual Easement Agreement with Washington Township are being explored as our Articles of Incorporation do not explicitly stipulate any approval is needed in the event of a lease or granting of easement access.

As President it is of my opinion that any kind of improvements and management of Shiloh Park is best in the hands of an actual Parks Department. Any large scale improvements done by the Board require loans and based on the Articles of Incorporation 2/3rd of approval from all members is needed to secure loans.
