April 20th Regular Monthly Board Meeting Site Issue

News

copy of email blast sent on Saturday, April 20th, ~3:15 p.m. to all WR home/lot owners who have requested inclusion on the official HOA email roster.

Good afternoon fellow Wisslerians,

Today’s board meeting did not take place as planned.  The board arrived at Tri-Lakes Methodist Church before 10:00 and found lights on, but the doors were locked.  Although we felt someone was inside, nobody responded to the doorbell nor to our persistent and loud knocking.  It was cold and windy, so although we had a quorum, at10:10, I cancelled the meeting.  And outside of Nadine and John Awald (Neighborhood Watch), only one homeowner had arrived.  There wasn’t much of substance on the agenda, so it would likely have been a short meeting. 

As to the cistern, it appears that nothing has happened recently.  The reason is that we await delivery of the pumps.  The contractor believes they should arrive within this month.  A crane will be required to lower them into the vault, as the assembly will weigh more than a thousand pounds.  Once they are installed, backfill and final grade will complete the project.  Monument Fire will then fill both cisterns and we’ll be in business.  Reseeding will probably be needed, to regrow the native vegetation.  Additional paving will then take place at both the hydrant location and in front of the mail structure.

If you have any questions,  please contact me or any of the board members.

Regards to all,

Hal Goldback, President

Board Meeting Cancellation Notice: March 16, 2024

News

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.

D38 Student Bus Pick-up/ Drop-off Temporary Change

News

(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

– Old Business: Per the covenant enforcement policy, Hal made a motion, Sharla seconded, to fine a homeowner $300 for submitting a 2023 water meter reading 27 days after the due date; motion passed unanimously.
