Board Meeting Cancellation Notice: March 16, 2024

Notice of Board Meeting Cancellation (next scheduled meeting – Saturday, April 20, 2024, 10:00 a.m., Tri-Lakes United Methodist Church) (the following notice was sent @6:00 p.m., Wednesday, March 13, 2024, to all home/lot owners who have requested inclusion on the WRHOA email roster): |

Dear fellow Wisslerians, Please be informed that, as no pressing matters have come to the attention of the members of the Board, the meeting scheduled for 10:00 a.m., Saturday, March 16, 2024, is hereby cancelled. This decision was made with the consent of the Board members. As many of you have observed, the cistern installation is proceeding. The new cistern tank is covered and will be allowed to settle, as a precaution. Later, further soil coverage will be added and, at this time, it appears that we have adequate topsoil to complete revegetation upon completion. The vault is also in the ground, awaiting delivery of the pump assembly. The old cistern (which we found was also manufactured by Darco) has been drained so that a valve could be installed at its bottom, and it is now joined to the outlet of the new cistern. Wiring for three-phase power is now being installed from the transformer, running to the vault. We await delivery of the Grundfos pump and exhaust fan. And while the project is taking longer than anticipated by everyone involved, it is indeed proceeding well. Please let the Board know if you have any questions or concerns at board@wisslerranch.com. The Board extends warm regards, and encourages you all to stay safe during the upcoming storm. Hal Goldback, President Wissler Ranch Homeowners Association |
D38 Student Bus Pick-up/ Drop-off Temporary Change
(copy of email blast sent to all homeowners on Monday, February 19th)
Dear fellow Wisslerians,
The contractor for our cistern has requested that for the next four to six weeks, the school bus change their pickup point back to the mail structure, to give the workers space to finish off a number of tasks that require more ready access. It will permit workers to move about while not being interrupted by students and school buses.
Starting Tuesday, February 27th, students will be picked up and dropped off at the mail structure. When the new location can resume, I’ll let everyone know. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Regards to all,
Hal Goldback, President

Wissler Ranch HOA Proposed Budget Ratification Meeting Minutes
December 16, 2023
Call to Order: The Wissler Ranch HOA annual budget ratification meeting was called to order at 10:02 m. at the Tri-Lakes United Methodist Church.
– The Board-approved budget was based on the Association’s priorities as discussed at the annual meeting of the members in October and the November regular monthly Directors’ meeting.
– The focus of the budget continues to be having sufficient funds to fulfill the Association’s responsibilities, maintain our Common Area and properties, and build adequate capital reserves. Due to the prearranged absence of the new Treasurer, Vice President Peter Popp described the budget in general and President Hal Goldback opened the floor.
– Extensive discussions ensued with three homeowners objecting to a vote due to inaccuracies in the approved budget, specifically, anticipated annual dues revenue was not accurately noted and a line item was listed under the wrong category. Kathleen McCormick made a motion, Roy Richardson seconded, to decline ratification, adjourn the meeting, have the Board resubmit and mail corrected copies to all property owners, and reconvene the budget meeting in January; motion failed with 9 for, 12 against. After further discussions, Peter Popp made a motion to strike a sentence from the cover letter regarding automatic transfer of excess funds to capital reserves, make pen and ink changes at this meeting to reflect the correct revenue, move the playground inspection under operating budget, and send the revised corrected copy to all property owners within the next two weeks; motion passed with 13 for, 8 against.
– There were 21 attendees. A motion was made and seconded to ratify the 2024 revised, corrected budget; motion passed with a 13 for, 8 against vote.
Adjournment: The budget meeting adjourned at 11:22 a.m.
