Road work at bottom of Gregory Creek is nearly complete. PLEASE drive very slowly for at least 24 hours to allow the work to “set up” better. This will help the road maintain optimum conditions for a longer period of time.
Newsletters for the Twin River Ranch Property Owners Association
Newsletters are mailed to property owners twice a year. The November newsletter includes an invoice for payment of annual dues. The May newsletter announces the annual meeting and includes a proxy to vote.
All of Twin River Ranch is private property. There are no public roadways in Twin River Ranch and no access to public lands.
All entrances to Twin River Ranch are posted with No Hunting/No Trespassing Signage, in accordance with Idaho State Statute 36-1603.
Hunting within Twin River Ranch requires written authorization from the property owner, and any person hunting must be prepared to produce that written authorization upon request.
Property owners should ensure that their guests have written authorization to hunt on their lots. and that their guests know the lot boundaries. Please do not let anyone hunt on your property without these two items.
And it should go without saying that some folks will still be in TRR without permission. Please make sure your gates are locked and your property and animals are secure.

Fire Season—
Fire season is HERE! We hope you have ensured your structures are protected with defensible space and you have an evacuation plan. You still have time to prepare. Walk your home surroundings to ensure combustible materials have been removed from the immediate surrounding. Have a preparation plan should a fire occur. Don’t mow dry grass in rocky areas (sparks!). No open burning is allowed in Idaho County without a permit. Call 911 and communicate with your neighbors if you see a fire risk.

The 2023 Annual Membership Meeting will be held Friday, June 16, at 10AM in the meeting room of The Confluence Resort. 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, and potato salad will be provided. Please bring a side dish or dessert if you can.
A copy of the meeting agenda will be available on the TRRPOA website, twinriverranch.com. The agenda will include financial and road reports, the election of two Board members, and a discussion of fire safety. Minutes from the 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 two Board positions up for vote. Gordon Ross was appointed to fill Cathy Littles position which ends, and Wolfgang Schubert’s position also ends. Gordon is running for election; Wolfgang is not running for reelection. Nominations will be takenfrom 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 two positions are not filled after the first vote, a second vote will be held. A Proxy to Vote is included in this mailing for you to complete and sign if you are not attending the annual meeting. It must be returned to TRRPOA by June 14. 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.
The Board is preparing a list of property owners to be distributed to those members who request a copy. Enclosed is a consent form each member must sign in order to have their contact information included on the list. Only those who return the form and have checked yes for any one of the items and signed the form will be included in the list. We will not include anyone’s information who does not want it shared.
We hope you will join us after the meeting for the annual picnic. We look forward to seeing you there.
Thank you,

Greetings members. Enclosed are your 2023 dues invoice and budget. Details of the budget will be presented at the Annual Meeting. Please contact Treasurer Debbie Little for questions on either. Please note that dues have increased to $288 for lots serviced by Association Roads, with no increase in dues for roads not serviced by Association Roads. The additional income is needed to offset inflation and the increased costs of fuel and road maintenance, anticipated work on the grader, and repairs or replacement of the snowplow truck. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding. This year, a major lay down of Grading F gravel on Gregory and Hammer Creek roads along with spot touch up of other roads exceeded the budgeted amount, resulting in using money from the reserve to make up the additional expenditure.
Summer extended well into October this year with higher than normal temperatures and dry conditions. The dry conditions prevented grading the road until the rains came at the end of October. Fortunately, there were no wildland fires on the Ranch in spite of the dry conditions. Late summer has definitely ended with temperatures expected in single digits at night in November and the first heavy snowfall at elevations over 3000 feet with up to 10 inches of wet, heavy snow. With the snowplow truck out of commission, property owners stepped up and plowed the roads using their ATVs and SUVs. Thanks to all who helped. At this writing, the snowplow truck is in the shop being evaluated for repair or possible replacement.
We have a new Board member, Gordon Ross, who was appointed by the Board when Cathy Little resigned from the Board in September. We thank Cathy for her years of dedicated service. Her expertise will be missed. In addition to the Fire Tree, she also did all the printing, was our CC&Rs expert, and researched many issues on State HOA laws. Gordon will fill Cathy’s term which expires in June of 2023. We thank Gordon for accepting our appointment and hope he runs for election in 2023. Robin Lipinski also resigned his position as equipment operator in September. He has been replaced by Ryan Hampton, who also lives on the Ranch, who will be the grader operator, and Roy Johnston, another resident, who will share the plow truck operator position with Todd Miller, a local resident but not a resident of the Ranch. All three new employees come with years of valuable experience. We thank Robin for his years of service and also thank Ryan, Roy, and Todd for agreeing to their respective equipment operator positions.
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. We are moving towards using email for more communications. Thank you very much.
Happy Holidays to All and we’ll see you next June!
