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

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 27^th, 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.
