MAY 2022

The 2022 Annual Membership Meeting will be held Friday, June 17, at 10:30 at the meeting room of The Confluence Resort. Pat Hurt, President, resigned on March 22, so John Urbahn, Vice President, will chair the meeting. Coffee, tea, and cinnamon rolls will be provided at the meeting. There will be a picnic at Swiftwater RV Park following the meeting. Burgers, hot dogs, bratwursts, buns, condiments, drinks, deviled eggs, and potato salad will be provided. Please bring a side dish or dessert if you can.

A copy of the meeting agenda is available on the website under Annual Meetings.  Minutes from the Annual Meeting and the financial report will be mailed to members. The minutes will also be posted on the website and will include a summary of the road report.

There are three Board positions up for vote. Debbie Little, Treasurer, is running for reelection. Also running are JP Goding, Jeff Dickson, Gordon Ross, Mark Frayser, David Bennett, and Jerry Bentz. Nominations will also be taken from the floor. Each candidate will be introduced and given three minutes to speak, including answering these three questions: 1) what are your ideas for maintaining roads; 2) what do you see as the main benefits from having CC&Rs; and 3) what will you contribute to the Association as a member of the Board. Members will be allowed to ask questions of the candidates with each discussion limited to two minutes.  As per our Bylaws, a candidate must get 51% of the vote to be elected. If the three positions are not filled after the first vote, a second vote will be held. A Proxy to Vote has been mailed to members to complete and sign if you are not attending the annual meeting.  It must be returned to TRRPOA by June 15.  Proxies and votes received after this date will not be counted.

Questions and comments from the floor will be limited to the member forum at the end of the meeting. The members will be given an opportunity to submit their written questions or comments to the Board prior to the member forum.  The meeting Chair will call on those who have submitted questions or comments. Discussions will be limited to two minutes. Rude behavior and interruptions will not be tolerated, and offenders will be asked to leave the meeting. Please cooperate with us to make this meeting productive.

We hope you will join us after the meeting for the annual picnic. We look forward to seeing you there.

November 2021

Greetings members.  By regular mail you will receive the 2022 dues invoice and the 2022 budget. Details for the 2022 budget will be presented at the 2022 Annual Meeting.  Please contact Treasurer Debbie Little for questions on the invoice or budgets. Please note that dues have increased to $240 for lots serviced by Association Road and to $90 for roads not serviced by Association Roads.

The summer was dryer and hotter than normal, and with those conditions and increased traffic, roads took a beating.  The major road event this past year was graveling Pilgrim Ridge and purchasing Grading F gravel for application in 2022 to the steeper, corrugated sections of roads. The grader did not require transmission work, so that money was used towards the purchase the gravel for 2022. Unauthorized work was done to an easement area by a member who was not the owner of the affected lot, but the member who performed the work graciously agreed to repair the damage at his expense. The sign that was torn down at the intersection of Shuck Creek and Hammer Creek was replaced, along with a new sign warning motorists of the unimproved condition of that section of Shuck Creek. There were several fires on the Ranch this year – Saddle Ridge, off of Doumecq, and Elk Run. All fires were immediately contained by property owners mainly because they were easily accessible. There were several large fires in the general area, the Dixie fire being the largest.

Three homes have been started this past year, two are still in progress but should be finished this fall or winter, 24 lots have sold, and eight properties are currently listed. You can follow available listings and other local news on www.trr-thisandthat.com.

The Annual Meeting and Picnic were held this year.   Details on the Annual Meeting and Board meetings throughout the year can be found on our website. Three board members’ terms expire next June (Pat Hurt, John Urbahn and Debbie Little). Debbie Little, our Treasurer, is seeking re-election. If any members wish to run for the board, we are suggesting a brief letter be sent to the board as to why you would like to run and what you see as to your contributions to the board. Please send your letter by April first of 2022 so it can be included in the May newsletter next year. Nominations will still be taken from the floor at the June 2022 annual meeting. 

We are asking everyone to include their current email address and phone number on their invoice when they return it so we can make sure our records are up to date.  Thank you very much.

Happy Holidays to All and we’ll see you next June!
