Overcome Joint Pain for Improved Quality of Life In an active lifestyle, joint health is a top priority. Your joints—hips, knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, wrists— allow you to perform sports and daily activities and are needed to move and thrive. Over time, an active lifestyle may lead to wear and tear—the eventual breakdown of protective cartilage—causing friction in the joints. This friction ultimately results in joint pain and injury. Living with pain is a life changing condition, as it’s often paired with restrictions in mobility and daily activities, dependence on pain medication, anxiety and depression, and poor perceived health or reduced quality of life. Though joint pain presents in many different forms, so do the treatments and prevention strategies. Depending on the cause of the pain, people may find relief from exercises to strengthen particular muscle groups; injections of anti-inflammatory steroids or other medications; platelet-rich plasma, where a patient's own platelets (a type of blood cell) are injected into an injured tendon or cartilage; nerve ablation, where precisely controlled heat is used to temporarily disable nerves causing the pain; and arthroscopy, a surgical procedure used to view, diagnose, and treat problems inside a joint. When lifestyle modifications and minimally invasive procedures aren’t effective against joint pain, joint replacement surgery is another option. Joint replacement is a procedure in which some (partial replacement) or
all (total replacement) damaged parts of a joint are removed and replaced with man-made parts. The goal is to restore function and reduce pain and inflammation. This surgery can be performed on the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and ankle, with the most frequently performed joint replacement surgeries on the hips and knees. Joint replacement surgery has improved and evolved over time. Innovations in robotic technology now enable orthopedic surgeons to have improved precision that reduces trauma on the bone and tissue during surgery, resulting in more accurate results and a better experience for patients. Barton Memorial Hospital is one of the first hospitals in the Lake Tahoe and Carson City areas to offer Mako SmartRobotics™, a robotic system used in total knee, total hip, and partial knee joint replacements. With use of this technology, surgeons are able to create intricate 3D maps of a patient’s joint during the planning phase that they can follow in the operating room. The map supports increased precision and accuracy for a less invasive surgery, resulting in faster recovery times and less pain during recovery. If you are living with joint pain, discuss treatment options with your orthopedic provider. There is a pathway to relief so you can get back to thriving in your daily life.
Dr. Jeff Orr and Dr. Kyle Swanson are boardcertified orthopedic surgeons with Tahoe Orthopedics & Sports Medicine and certified operators of Mako SmartRobotics™. Drs. Orr and Swanson’s pre-recorded Wellness Webinar, “Joint Pain & Replacement” is available at BartonHealth.org/Lecture. For more information on joint replacement, visit BartonHealth.org/JointReplacement.

California law requires that any amendment to the Governing Documents be conducted by secret ballot in accordance with the Civil Code and the Association’s election rules and voting procedures.

How Your Landscaping Affects Lake Tahoe The Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) Board has lifted last year’s outdoor irrigation restrictions, which means you are suddenly faced with a decision. How should you revitalize your yard? Conservation landscaping is the best choice for the environment. These practices lessen watering and fertilizer use, filter stormwater, maintain fire defensible space, and provide habitat to pollinators and beneficial insects. Conservation landscaping can help protect Lake Tahoe’s unique environment while offering an attractive and desirable aesthetic that reflects the individual character of one’s property. To make it easy, TKPOA and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA), partnered to develop the Tahoe Keys Landscape Design Book for conservation landscaping ideas. As properties resume watering their landscapes, please adhere to the TKPOA watering schedule and landscaping requirements, including the use of phosphorus-free fertilizer. Irrigation systems that overwater lawns and landscaping can generate excess runoff, that transports sediment, pesticides, and nutrients to gutters, and storm drains. In addition to wasting water, this is a concern Keys Breeze
|
because storm drains in the Tahoe Keys convey untreated runoff directly to the lagoons and ultimately out to Lake Tahoe. Studies show that stormwater contributes to approximately 10 percent of the nutrients that drive weed growth. The two primary aquatic invasive plant species of concern, Eurasian watermilfoil and curly-leaf pondweed, grow abundantly with excess nutrients, like nitrogen and phosphorus found in fertilizer. Overwatering may contribute to favorable conditions for algal blooms and aquatic weed growth, which works against the ongoing investment TKPOA, its members, and partner organizations make to control Aquatic Invasive Species in the Tahoe Keys. The City of South Lake Tahoe (CSLT) Stormwater Ordinance was put in place with the purpose of protecting and enhancing Lake Tahoe and aims to reduce pollution discharged from urban areas. When landscape irrigation and lawn watering runoff contain pollutants, such as sediment, pesticides, or fertilizers, and enter the Storm Drain System, it is a violation of the Stormwater Ordinance. CSLT and TKPOA may issue citations and fines to properties observed to be in violation of the Ordinance and TKPOA Operating Rules.

Future of Tahoe Keys Water Company By Keiron McCammon, Board Member
During July’s Board Meeting Farr West presented the results of their analysis of the long-term operations and maintenance options for our Water Company. As I’m sure you recall, we faced a crisis last year when one of our three wells was taken offline due to excessive levels of uranium. It was feared a second well would soon meet a similar fate, leaving us with one operating well as we headed into the peak demand of the summer irrigation season. This crisis necessitated an emergency landscape irrigation ban to ensure our limited capacity of safe and uncontaminated drinking water was available for household use. At the same time, we started work on short and intermediate-term mitigation projects to stabilize our water supply. The good news is that these mitigation projects were a success, with all three wells running again (with reduced capacity) and a new intertie with Lukins Brothers Water Company (LBWC), which has allowed us to restore limited irrigation this summer, per the published schedule. However, while uranium treatment is in place at two of our wells, it is a stop-gap, not a permanent solution.

The short and intermediate-term projects were intended to stabilize our water production and buy us time to identify the long-term direction for our Water Company. At the end of last year, the Long Term Facilities Plan, commissioned at the beginning of that year, was finally completed. Among many recommendations, it identified several options for the future of our Water Company, from continuing to operate independently to outsourcing its management to consolidating with another water company. The Board felt that whether we should remain in the water business as an Association or not trumped everything else. Therefore, we engaged Farr West Engineering to research our options, culminating in the presentation of their findings during the last Board meeting. Farr West developed a non-economic evaluation matrix of the governance alternatives for our Water Company. They created weighted criteria covering technical, managerial, and financial considerations against which they scored each option (putting aside upfront costs on the assumption each option makes the necessary capital investments).

There’s a lot to digest here. If you are interested in more details on Farr West’s criteria, background information is available under the Documents section of the TKPOA website. Go to the Water Company folder and click on the TKWC Governance Non-Economic Evaluation Matrix folder.
over a national one). And finally, if consolidation is not feasible, set up TKWC as an independent, wholly owned Water Company, and continue to operate it ourselves. The Board of Directors will make a final, public decision on the preferred direction for our Water Company during August’s Board Meeting, and we invite homeowner feedback in the meantime.
In short, the matrix identifies five viable alternatives to the governance of our Water Company:
Whatever decision we make is just the first step in a process that will likely take two or more years to come to fruition (though an administrative takeover could happen sooner). If consolidation is indeed the preferred path, then we need to negotiate the economic realities of this option compared to continuing to operate independently, ultimately bringing it back to homeowners. Unfortunately, I’m afraid our water costs will increase whichever option we all choose as homeowners (and metered usage is coming).
• Remain independent; • Consolidate with STPUD, our local public utility (who already owns our sewage system); • Consolidate with Lukins Brothers Water Company (LBWC), a private local water company; • Consolidate with Golden State Water, a private national water company; • Consolidate with Liberty Utilities, a private national utility company. • And scores each against the identified technical, managerial, and financial criteria resulting in a final weighted score.
I want to acknowledge our debt of gratitude to Jennifer Lukins and Lukins Brothers Water Company (LBWC). Not only is our intertie with LBWC proving invaluable this summer, seeing us through peak irrigation demands, but Jennifer stepped in at the end of last year as our acting Water Company Manager. She is a big part of why all three of our wells are operational again and why our Water Company operations and staff have stabilized after a year of turmoil.
Based on Farr West’s expert opinion, STPUD ranks the highest with a score of 95, followed by the private national companies, Golden State Water and Liberty Utilities, with scores of 74 each, then LBWC with a score of 59, and finally remaining independent with a score of 53. Our Water Company Committee reviewed this evaluation and recommended a consolidation with STPUD. Then, should this prove uneconomical or infeasible, seek consolidation with LBWC (preferring a local company

The Official Communication and Electronic Notice to TKPOA Property Owners By Kirk Wooldridge, General Manager Beginning this past January 1st, 2022, there has been a change in the Davis Stirling Civil Code, that now requires Associations to request members' preferred delivery method (email, mail, or both) for notices and disclosures. In addition, Associations must annually give notice that members are not required to provide their email address to the Association (Civil Code §4041). This notice must be given no later than 30 days prior to mailing the annual budget report (we also call this the “Annual Disclosure”). If a preferred method is not selected by a member, then notices and documents must be sent by First-class mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified mail, express mail, or overnight delivery by an express service carrier (Civil Code §4040). This is currently the practice of the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) in following this Civil Code §4041 requirement, in providing the Annual Disclosure Mailing and “Official Notices” via Postage Prepaid Mail and in the Keys Breeze. (This has also been the practice for the past seven years, once the Keys Breeze went to a monthly publication in 2015). The new provision in this 2022 Davis Stirling Civil Code Keys Breeze
|
change is that for documents requiring general delivery, Associations can now post the documents on their website provided this is disclosed to the members in the Association's Annual Policy Statement (aka the TKPOA Annual Disclosure). (Civil Code §4045) As stated above this would then allow the TKPOA to cut down on it’s direct mailing by Postage Prepaid to TKPOA Property Owners, which will result in an overall cost savings, of postage, mailing material, TKPOA Staff, Volunteers, Contracted Companies time and effort to produce these mailings. As of July 20th, 2022 the TKPOA Board of Directors have provided the TKPOA Staff “Board Direction” to begin this process of notification to members using the TKPOA Website, but also continuing our current practices. Because this change cannot “officially” take place until the “TKPOA Annual Disclosure” is issued in November 2022. The Keys Breeze publication meets the requirements of a California Homeowners Association for a Common Interest Development “Official Communication” method

method of delivery does not constitute agreement by a member of the Association to that method of delivery.
In meeting these “Official Communication” requirements, TKPOA has utilized the Keys Breeze for Civil Code §4360. Notice and Approval of Rule Change by Board of Directors. The Keys Breeze can also continue to be used for the “Official Communication” for notification to the TKPOA Property Owners, in combination with this new notification method of posting items on the TKPOA Website, currently and officially after November 2022. Ideally this method would be utilized for limited rule changes of no more than a page of copy. In doing so, the TKPOA again will save money on direct mailing and staff costs to prepare rules change mailings.
The Keys Breeze publication also meets the standards of the Corporations Code §5016. Notices and Reports Via Newsletters, that applies to California Homeowners Association for a Common Interest Development. Code §5016: A notice or report mailed or delivered as part of a newsletter, magazine or other organ regularly sent to members shall constitute written notice or report pursuant to this division when addressed and mailed or delivered to the member, or in the case of members who are residents of the same household and who have the same address on the books of the corporation, when addressed and mailed or delivered to one of such members, at the address appearing on the books of the corporation.

I have personally received very positive and insightful feedback from many TKPOA members over the past few years. Many comments they now read the Keys Breeze cover to cover. If you miss an issue you can always catch up online via our TKPOA website: www.TKPOA.com where each monthly issue of the Keys Breeze is posted in digital format. The monthly Keys Breeze Magazine is printed on recycled paper with soy-based ink and has been for the past 10 years.
To clarify in the last four years the Keys Breeze publication has “paid for itself” as it has done so in the past four years and many of the previous years. Through the advertisers the Keys Breeze is published monthly to all TKPOA Property Owners free of charge. There are no line item expenses in the TKPOA Budget for the Keys Breeze production. The only cost to the TKPOA is the TKPOA Staff, and Board Members personal time in writing the articles and occasionally the cost for a special photograph, layout, or artwork, which is minimal.

What is the Architectural Control Committee (ACC)? By: Linda Callahan, Architectural Control Department Manager
The Architectural Control Committee (ACC) consists of a group of appointed volunteer homeowners who are responsible for reviewing ACC applications. This is a freestanding committee. The ACC meet once a month through winter and every two weeks, spring through fall for a total of eighteen meetings annually. The general purpose of the ACC is to ensure compliance with aesthetic standards established by the association. In the townhome subdivisions, ACC is primarily focused on improvements that impact the communal areas such as window replacement, balconies, and patio areas. Townhome landscape projects are also reviewed by the ACC. Within the single-family home subdivisions, the committee is primarily concerned with exterior aesthetics. Those matters would include but not be limited to landscapes, fences, driveways, boat docks and roofing. The ACC department staff is responsible for maintaining the standards set forth by the Architectural Control Committee, Governing Documents and the Association Covenants, Controls and Restrictions (CC&Rs). Staff routinely patrols the association, recognizes, records, and generates violations to non-compliant properties.

your animals swim or drink the water, staying away from the algae and scum, keeping children away etc. Please note, HAB occurrences followed by these warnings are typically seen this time of year in the Keys Lagoons and you will continue to see the signage during the month of August.
As in typical years past, the TKPOA AIS Team has taken monthly water samples due to requirements for an existing LFA permit. The results from the July sampling indicated that there are toxic algae present which triggered the WQ Team to put up “Caution” signage around the LFA Site #26 area (Traverse, Slalom, and Christie) on July 18.

The UV-C contractor has completed the first round of treatment on all the “UV-C Only” sites - Sites 22, 23 and 24. As the turbidity curtains will remain installed until late August, the UV-C contractor and the TKPOA WQ team are working together to find a solution on getting the UV-C boat to enter the Restricted Area A. Once it enters the area, the boat will treat the “combo” sites (UV-C and herbicide) to complete the total UV-C treatment of the CMT Project.

Extension to restrict boating activity of any kind in the following West Lagoon and Lake Tallac areas identified as Treatment Areas A, B, and C from May 9th, 2022 to August 19, 2022. For more information on the updated Emergency Rule, please visit keysweedsmanagement.org. Though the turbidity curtains will remain in place until August 19, 2022, the CMT project has been successful thus far. The two herbicides, Endothall and Triclopyr, are appearing to be effective against their respective target species - Eurasian Watermilfoil and Curlyleaf Pondweed. The turbidity curtains will be removed once both herbicides have completed their respective degradation cycles and are reported as non-detect. To help speed up the degradation of these herbicides, the TKPOA Water Quality Team has installed numerous aerators around the lagoons and are also running the Omnicat throughout Restricted Area A. For weekly updates on the CMT project, please contact the front desk at the TKPOA Pavilion and sign up for weekly e-blasts! If you have questions, contact the TKPOA Water Quality Department directly by calling 530-542-6444, ext. 275 Monday – Friday from 8:30AM – 4:30PM or by email at waterquality@tahoekeyspoa.org.
