Snowmobile Stickers
Get your stickers now, beat the rush! The TLPOA Request for an Entertainment Operating Permit by Lot Owner forms can be printed by clicking here or you can pick one up at either the security gate house or the TLPOA office. All recreational vehicles must be registered and have a sticker.  Only TLPOA lot owners can get stickers, and owners are responsible for their guests.  Owners’ season pass stickers cost $15 and visitor’s 7-day stickers are $10. Please remember not to trespass on other’s property. On a snowmobile, you can only exit at the top, and you must stay on the marked easement across the Heber Valley Camp property.

Timberlakes Lot Owners:

From the US Forest Service
Heber City, USA July 9, 2014 –The Rainbow Family gathering is officially over and approximately 85 percent of the gatherers have left the area. More are expected to be leaving throughout the week. A group within the Rainbow gatherers calling themselves “Fat Kids” is heading up the cleaning efforts. They will remain until Forest Service resource advisors feel rehabilitation guidelines have been met per the Operating Plan.

Forest Service Law Enforcement Officer did remain busy throughout the Rainbow Family gathering. There were 587 total incidents, 31 arrest, 136 violations issued, 195 warnings given, and 225 other incidents documented.

From Timberlakes 
Note that the law enforcement numbers above only include incidents in the National Forest and do not include the incidents in town or on the roads leading to the forest. Wasatch County deputies, along with the USA Highway Patrol, Heber City Police Department and Tooele City Police Department (Tooele loaned officers) did a fantastic job of riding herd on the Rainbow Family.

As for security in Timberlakes, we will discontinue the extra security on the upper portion of the mountain near the snowmobile gate as of Thursday July 10, 2014.  We will continue 24/7 security at the entrance to Timberlakes for a few more days.

Thanks to all of you for keeping a watchful eye on your own place as well as your neighbors.  Timberlakes did not have anything out of the ordinary occur during the time the Rainbow Family were camped in the forest above our community.

Thanks to our security guys for their extra-long hours and many days straight without time off.  Thanks to Strider Security, from Provo, for filling in when another firm could not fulfill their commitment to […]

Timberlakes Owners:

We have been notified by the Wasatch County Sheriff that the Rainbow Family of Living Light World Peace and Healing Gathering has moved its location to the following coordinates: 40˚ 25’ 39.4” N and 111˚ 09’ 42.4” W. This is approximately three miles southeast of our most eastern Timberlakes border and is about six miles closer to us than their previous location.

The Heber City Police Department is notifying businesses in Heber City of the extra number of people that are arriving in the County.

As a precautionary measure, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has closed two stake camps along Lake Creek Road just east of Timberlakes. They have also increased the number of personnel at the Heber Valley Camp.

The Sheriff previously advised Timberlakes property owners to take this seriously and make sure property is secure.

Timberlakes Owners:
1. Reminder about our February 19 Board Meeting. Check the private site for the details and location.
2. Make sure you obtain your snowmobile stickers! As the number of owners and their guests visiting Timberlakes continues to increase substantially each season, it is essential that all owners adhere to our policies. This being said, please remember that annual TLPOA stickers are required on all “non-street legal” (not registered with the DMV) motorized vehicles operating in Timberlakes. This includes snowmobiles, ATVs, side-by-sides, motorcycles, etc. This is important for security and to help emergency personnel identify your property in the event of an accident. Only TLPOA lot owners can obtain these stickers. TLPOA owners must obtain these stickers for their guests too.
To get your stickers, a separate Request for an Entertainment Operating Permit by Lot Owner form must be completed by an owner for each ATV, snowmobile, side-by-side, motorcycle, etc. These forms must be filled out, signed and paid for before stickers can be issued. You can fill out your forms ahead of time, either in person at the gate or office, or by mail. Security or the office confirm ownership before issuing stickers. Download the form here.
Note: If you are stopping at the gate house to get your stickers, please pull to the right so you’re not blocking the gate while you take care of business.
Thanks and we hope to see you at the Board Meeting.

Timberlakes Owners:

I know that you have just received your most recent mailing of the Timberlakes Times newsletter, showing upcoming board meetings, but we have had to reschedule the date of our November meetings. We are holding them on Wednesday, November 20, 2013 rather than on November 13 as stated in the newsletter. We apologize if this inconveniences you. We do appreciate the attendance and participation of our owners.

As always, the location and time of the November meetings is posted on our Owners-only private site. Click here to login to that site.

Also, you may have noticed several huge chip piles in the main parking area next to our office. Thanks to every owner who took the time to clean up your lots(s) and contribute timber to the wood pile. It has now been chipped and is available to owners for your Timber Lake projects. Feel free to take all you want (for your Timberlakes projects). Don’t let a little snow this week (five inches up on top) keep you from finishing up your lot landscaping.

Please join us this Saturday, June 8th for a volunteer effort to continue the beautification effort on the mountain.  There will be plenty to accomplish and we ask that you volunteer a few hours on Saturday morning for clean up and trail work. Please mention this to your friends and neighbors as well. Children are encouraged to be part of the effort.
We will meet at the TLPOA office in the lower parking lot at 10:00 am.  You can assist us with one of these projects:

Picking up litter/trash along the roadside (bring your ATV or UTV)
Working over the flower gardens and cleaning up near the mail house
Trail crew work at a few areas like Aspen Lake or Jones Lake.

Bring gloves, branch clippers, hoes, rakes, chain saws, shovels, or other tools you have.
See you there to help us in our continued efforts to beautify Timberlakes.

The wood chips in the main parking lot are available for any  Timberlakes Property Owner. On Memorial Day, from 9:00 – 11:00, there will be a loader standing by to help you load chips onto your trailer or in your truck bed.  Marini, our new General Manager, has volunteered to assist with running the loader. This will be a good opportunity to introduce yourself and meet him.

The deposit pile is open for dumping dead wood, logs, and branches as of Memorial Day.  No lumber, construction material, weeds, or any non organic material can be put in the pile.

Please help us get the USA state grant money available to cover the cost of the chipping and other fire prevention efforts in Timberlakes.   Be sure to fill out the form each time you clear dead fall from your lot(s). A matching grant form will be available on site, and everyone is requested to fill one out when depositing materials.

Thank you,
