Board Vacancies

Dear Timberlakes Property Owners:

On Wednesday this week I received the resignation of Rex Gale as a member of our Board of Directors. He and his family are opening up two new BBQ restaurants in two different states. Rex informed me that he does not have the time to focus on his business and adequately do his duty as a member of the Board. Rex has been serving as our Treasurer and we will miss him. We all wish him the best in his new adventure and much success.

Also, Mike Durr just notified me today that he will be moving to Wyoming and will be leaving the Board. Mike has been responsible for our Government Relations, State Fire Liaison and Common Areas. He has served on the Board for several years and has contributed much to the quality of life on the mountain. Mike has worked tirelessly to address many issues on behalf of property owners and we will miss him.

When openings occur between elections, the Board is tasked with the responsibility of appointing a property owner to complete the unexpired term of the resigning Board member. Therefore, your Board is looking for two owners to fill these two vacant positions. Both of these terms expire in July 2014. Ideally, we would like someone that has had experience in the areas that have been vacated. On the other hand, we will consider any owner willing to donate their time to attend the meetings and help direct what would be their area of responsibility.

The only required qualification to be considered as a candidate for appointment to the Board is that you are an owner in good standing. This means that your account with the Association […]

Woodpile to Close

We thank all owners who have worked to clear dead wood from your lots. We have collected a substantial amount of wood in the pile. Lance Excavating will be in Timberlakes with their tub grinder on September 24, 2012, to chip the pile. Therefore, we are announcing we will close the woodpile for the year on Sunday, September 23, 2012. If you choose to remove wood from your lot after September 23, please take it out of the subdivision to dispose of it yourself. We do not allow any location to be used for wood collection during the fall and winter.

Also, as a reminder, any time you spend, or pay someone to spend, on clearing wood and undergrowth from your lot to make it less combustible will assist us in obtaining a grant from state agencies with which we can address fire breaks and other fire safety issues that affect common areas and Timberlakes as a whole. Please turn your hours spent in to Martha at the office. Contact her with any questions.

Finally, thank you all for being careful and diligent regarding fire safety. Please continue to safeguard the mountain during this extremely dry summer. Fire danger in Timberlakes continues to be very high and we appreciate the care everyone is taking to prevent fire.

Thank you.

Annual Meeting Summary – 2012

In advance of the official meeting minutes, here is a brief draft summary of our annual meeting.

We held the Annual Meeting of the Timberlakes Property Owners Association on Saturday, July 14, 2012. There were approximately 100 property owners present. Owners elected three directors to fill the open three-year terms. Craig Allen and Gary Hume were re-elected to the Board and Cliff Lackman was elected to the remaining three-year term. Cliff lives on the mountain and we welcome him to the board.

The Board reviewed the annual operating budget, which was approved in a previous meeting. The budget covers the fiscal year, which began on July 1, 2012 and ends on June 30, 2013. There was a discussion about capital improvements and the pros and cons of funding a reserve for such improvements. The owners voted NOT TO APPROVE formally funding the capital expenditures reserve. This means that the board will set aside funds for capital expenditures but there will be no legally binding requirement that those funds can only be spent on the specified items in the capital reserve budget. They can be used for whatever purpose the board deems appropriate.

In addition to the financial discussions, representatives of the Wasatch County Fire District made a presentation about fire danger and reminded owners to be extra careful.

The First Responders invited owners to join their group and become trained in providing assistance in medical emergencies.

Following the public meeting, the Board of Directors met, elected officers and made assignments for the fiscal year (July 2012 through June 2013). The results:

Gary Hume – President

Craig Allen – Vice President of Administration – Security, Risk Management and the Office.

Shane Olsen – Vice President of Operations – Road Maintenance and Water […]

Gate remotes

Current lot owners are the only people who can purchase gate remotes. If you are a current owner, we cannot sell a remote to one of your relatives; we can only sell it to you. If you wish us to sell a remote to a member of your family other than you, you must send us a letter stating that you authorize us to sell a remote to the person named in your letter. The owner(s) of record must sign the letter.

When a lot is sold, the remotes belonging to the selling owner will be deleted from our security database. This means that the new owner will not be able to use the old remotes until the new owner contacts our office and identifies themselves as the owners. The new owners will be asked to supply their names, mailing address and phone numbers. After registering with us, the old remotes will be reactivated.

Real-estate agents are not authorized to purchase a remote on behalf of their clients nor can they reactivate old remotes on behalf of the new owners.

Current lot owners can purchase a remote in our office during regular office hours.

If you are an owner who has not used your remote in a few years, and you have never registered your remote, it will not work. Please read this post from two years ago and make sure your remote is registered. If you purchased your remote in the past couple of years, it is already registered.

Thank you,

Gary Hume, Security

No Fireworks & No Fires

Due to the extremely dry weather conditions in the mountains, Timberlakes has issued a “No fireworks or flame order” meaning that nothing with a spark or flame is allowed within the Timberlakes area. Security will be patrolling all the areas of the mountain looking for anyone that is lighting any kind of fireworks or fires. If someone is caught lighting or shooting off fireworks the sheriff will be called and a ticket will be issued.

Security will be driving the mountain every evening until late into the night from June 29th until July 8th, 2012 looking for anyone breaking the law. If you notice someone lighting fireworks or open flames the law please call Security at 425.785.8764 and report the lot number where the illegal activity is happening. Security will immediately dispatch someone to the site and notify the sheriff.

Please, please be careful. If have invited friends or family to use your cabin, please notify them of the extremely high risk of fire and of the ban on open flames, fireworks or sparks of any kind.

Thanks and have a safe, fun weekend.
