These are the issues that Tahoe Keys Water Company (TKWC) Kirk Keeler Pho KirkKeeler.com Long Range Facilities Plan – Oversight Board Subcommittee, the Board of Directors, and contracted consultants have been reviewing and analyzing. We’re approaching a milestone that will shape the community’s future with this decision. Back in December 2020, work began on the TKWC Long Range Facilities Plan to address this myriad of issues facing the TKWC. These concerns necessitated the emergency actions starting in March due to elevated uranium levels found in two of the TKWC’s three wells, which resulted in the landscape irrigation ban and updated Water Conservation rules for the summer of 2021. Thank you to all the TKPOA property owners for their cooperation with the landscape irrigation ban that was implemented to preserve our water capacity to provide safe drinking and household water. The Board of Directors approved these emergency reserve expenditures this past year for the TKWC short- and intermediateterm projects which included the purchase of temporary ION Exchange Uranium Filtration Systems for Well#2 and Well #3. These approvals included an inter-tie with Lukins Brothers Water Company (LBWC) to provide an additional 500 gallons of water per minute (gpm) (subject to availability])and required backflow preventer installation for the South Tahoe Public Utility District (STPUD) existing intertie.

WHEN SOMEONE MENTIONS “plastic

surgery,” an immediate, reflexive thought is often of a person who has undergone an extreme surgical procedure to change their appearance. In actuality, plastic and reconstructive surgery is meant to return form and function to patients that are affected by illness, trauma, and changes that occur due to aging or birth disorders. In fact, the word “plastic” comes from the Greek word plastikos, which means “to mold or give form.” Plastic and reconstructive surgery may be reconstructive or aesthetic and can involve any part of the anatomy, including the skin, the breast, and the skeleton of the face and hand. Reconstructive surgery may be necessary after trauma, infection, disease or tumor, and can also address congenital abnormalities—issues that have been present since birth. Some types of reconstructive procedures may not require surgery. Common reconstructive procedures include breast reconstruction following mastectomy for breast cancer and tissue rearrangement for reconstruction following skin cancer removal. For some patients, reconstructive surgery can also be performed to help manage complications from breast cancer treatment, like lymphedema (tissue swelling).

Reconstructive surgery can also address congenital issues including surgical correction of incompetent lip or palate, which can allow a child to eat and grow normally when addressed early. Some birthmarks may also be addressed by reconstructive surgery. Another component of a plastic and reconstructive surgical practice, aesthetic surgery, involves procedures that can alter a person’s shape to improve selfesteem. Common types of aesthetic surgery include breast augmentation, arm lift (brachioplasty), tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), brow lift, face lift (rhytidectomy) and eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). Smaller aesthetic concerns can be addressed in the office with an injection of botulinum toxin for wrinkles or fillers contributing to a more youthful appearance. The benefits and diversity of plastic and reconstructive surgery are vast. If you or a loved one have a need for aesthetic or reconstructive surgery, discuss the possibilities with a provider who can help you return to prior form and function or increase confidence and self-esteem.

Dr. Kathleen A. Holoyda is a board-eligible plastic surgeon with Barton Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery. Dr. Holoyda’s pre-recorded Wellness Webinar, “Breast Reconstruction Surgery” is available at BartonHealth.org/Lecture. For more information or to schedule a consultation, call 530.543.5799 or visit BartonHealth.org/ PlasticSurgery.

monitoring and automated control system of our TKWC water system. With the SCADA system installed we will be able to accurately measure the community’s peak water demands hour-by-hour and provide the additional needed information to better manage our TKWC system. Also approved was the installation of thirty-three water meters and backflow preventers across our common areas and townhome/cove subdivisions. Our best estimate is that our common areas and townhome/cove subdivision account for thirty percent of our irrigation use. These meters will allow us to see how much water we are using and, more importantly, how effective we can be at reducing usage. The backflow preventers installation provides additional safety to our TKWC system and meets current State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Division of Drinking Water (DDW) requirements. Lastly, the Board also approved a new pump motor and back up drive to improve Well #1 reliability. The Board approvals described above required “fast track” measures and action to implement which necessitated the imposition of this Emergency Special Assessment to fund these projects. The Board has the authority to levy an Emergency Special Assessment to address an extraordinary expense necessary to repair or maintain the common interest development or any part of it for which the Association is responsible where a threat to personal safety on the property is discovered. The water emergency described above—the uranium contamination, is a threat to personal safety. The Association’s immediate need to address this threat justifies the imposition of this emergency special assessment.

By Ken Silveira, Board Treasurer AS THE NEW TREASURER, one of my first duties is to help with the

2022 Budget + Annual Disclosure

implementation of the 2022 Budget and publishing of the Annual Disclosure. The 2022 Budget was developed by a team led by Keiron McCammon including the Finance Committee, Accounting Department, Cove Advisor’s Committee, Water Quality Committee, and Water Company Long-Term Planning Committee. Challenges this year included trying to plan in the fallout of post-pandemic economic problems and the more recent disruption caused by the Caldor Fire and emergency evacuation. After several month’s work, the Budget was approved by the Board in October. The 2022 Annual Budget for the entire Association is $7.56 million. The single-family subdivisions represent $4.22 million or 56% of the budget and the townhome subdivisions represent $3.34 million or 44% of the budget. All members will soon be receiving the Annual Disclosure, which includes important legally required information about the Association including the 2022 budget and new assessments. There are two versions of the Annual Disclosure—one for the single-family subdivisions and one for the townhome subdivisions. Included in both versions of the Annual Disclosure is the 2022 Pro-Forma Budget and Notice of Assessment Increases, which explains the key elements of the budget and assessments. The notice shows the assessment for the common operations shared by all owners (Common, Water Quality, Water Company, and Channels & Lagoons) needed to be increased by 19.9%, raising this assessment to $881 per quarter. The increase for land-locked properties was less, due to a 50% discount on the Water Quality assessment. The primary reasons driving the increase were higher insurance costs, higher Water Quality operating costs, the new TRPA lake access fee (MOU), discontinued VHR fees, adding back an admin position, higher pavilion trash dumpster costs, and higher electricity costs. The increases were partially offset by staff reductions in security and pool operations, and lower legal costs. The townhome version of the Annual Disclosure includes the cost of shared common operations (above) plus the cost of townhome operations and reserves. The assessment for the 12 townhome subdivisions’ operating expenses and reserves increased by an average of 4.5% for a variety of reasons unique to each townhome subdivision. When combined with the cost of shared common operations, the overall assessment for the townhome subdivisions needed to be increased by an average of 9.7%, raising the average townhome assessment to $2,579 per quarter with a range from $2,150 to $3,213 per quarter.

The Annual Disclosure also includes information about the reserves used to fund planned maintenance and improvement activities, as well as possible special assessments for major unplanned activities. Next year, one possible special assessment would be for funding the Controlled Methods Test (CMT) for aquatic weeds. This assessment of $600 per lot was previously approved by homeowners on the condition the test is approved by the regulators. A general special assessment to fund major improvements to the Water Company, is also possible. Two Town Hall Forums have been held on this complicated issue. A townhome subdivision special assessment is also possible to fund the replacement of the bulkhead in Cove 3C. Looking ahead, I plan to continue the work started by Keiron to keep members well informed about financial matters. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions or would like to get involved.

TKWC WATER SYSTEM UPDATE – THE DECISION PROCESS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11

Directors approved a $1,300 Emergency Special Assessment per TKPOA property. The Emergency Special Assessment is due by November 30th, 2021. The TKWC Long Range Facilities Plan – Oversight Board Subcommittee and MC Engineering had completed the Long-term Facilities Plan “draft” to address the water issues and it was presented to the TKPOA Board in August for comments and questions. This final draft report includes the twelve alternatives that were evaluated with three of the project scenarios recommended for further evaluation. Once finalized, the TKWC Long Range Facilities Plan implementation will be divided into three phases. A Town Hall meeting seeking member input was also conducted on October 28th, 2021, with over sixty members participating. Additional Town Hall meetings will be scheduled in 2022 as new information and decisions become available. The TKWC Long Range Facilities Plan will be placed on the agenda for the December 14th, 2021 Regular Open Board meeting for review and discussion. The potential approval of this TKWC Long Range Facilities Plan would result in additional research to determine which of the three project scenarios is the best fit for the TKWC. As of October 12th, 2021 the short and intermediateterm projects where completed, and the TKWC water system has the following capacities: • The TKWC water system capacity is 2,750 gallons per minute (gpm), but only 1,750 gpm of reliable production capacity (total production capacity with the largest source out of service). • The reliable production capacity, with Well #3 there is blending bypass option that has been installed, that will potentially be permitted and approved for operation, this should be adequate at 3,150 gpm total capacity and 1,950 gpm reliable capacity to meet the 2022 irrigation demands, but only with the new TKPOA Operating Rule SECTION 10 WATER CONSERVATION RULES (a.k.a. Landscape Irrigation Rules) in place. The TKPOA property owners can only irrigate on assigned days and time in accordance with the TKPOA Operating Rule SECTION 10 WATER CONSERVATION RULES. This requirement needs to be paired with an active member outreach and education program to ensure compliance. The carrot of education needs Keys Breeze

|

to be followed with enforcement to make sure that water demand does not exceed production capacity. The TKPOA common areas and Townhome/Cove subdivisions must also be managed and monitored to minimize water use. At the December 14th, 2021 Board Meeting the TKWC Long Range Facilities Plan – Oversight Board Subcommittee is recommending that the TKPOA Board approve the final plan, hire a program manager/ firm for Phases 1 and 2, provide TKPOA staffing and management to monitor and enforce irrigation rules through 2022 season and beyond, and approve moving forward with Phase 1 activities. This includes installing residential water meters and smart irrigation controllers on all common areas and Townhome/Cove subdivisions, as well the construction of a one million gallon storage tank and implementation of an approve TKWC Backflow Prevention Program. Phase 2 implementation encompasses investigating long-term financing options to spread out the cost of TKWC system improvements over 20-year (±) period; continuing to analyze water system flows from SCADA to provide a basis for future water system facilities design and distribution system modeling; continue negotiations on potential agreements with STPUD, and LBWC; and support discussions with private water companies regarding the purchase and/or operation of the TKWC water system, as well as identify potential new well sites within the Tahoe Keys and conduct exploratory drilling and evaluation.

THE TKPOA RULES

AND THE RULES CHANGE PROCESS By Kirk Wooldridge, TKPOA General Manager LIKE MANY COMMUNITY ASSOCIATIONS, the

Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) has a set of written “Governing Documents” which includes our Articles of Incorporation, BYLAWS, Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&R’s), Architectural Control Rules (ACR) and Operating Rules. As mentioned above in addition to our BYLAWS and CC&R’s, the TKPOA also operates under the Architectural Control Rules (ACR) and Association Operating Rules. These rules like the BYLAWS and CC&Rs have even more of a “day to day” or individual effect on our property owners, and with that said tend change more with the “times”, current usage of amenities, and changes in building products. So it is important to realize that any property owner can propose an ACR or Operating “rule change” or change to the BYLAWS and CC&R’s and there is a process for these proposed rule changes. Keys Breeze

|

The Architectural Control Rules (ACR) are the “design standards” for properties in the TKPOA. Some TKPOA property owners mistakenly believe these standards restrict their individual expression; actually they provide a framework within which each property owner can express individual tastes and preferences. The standards have been carefully developed to reflect a balance between individual rights and the good of the entire association—that is, continuing to maintain and improve property values. These guidelines maintain architectural standards and provide a basis for treating all property owners fairly and reasonably. Written guidelines allow you and the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) to work from the same criteria and are published as the Architectural Control Rules (ACR), TKPOA Bylaws and CC&Rs. Sometimes architectural rules and requirements can be complex. The ACR’s rules show you exactly what is required so you can comply with the community’s standards. The ACC wants the paperwork

DECEMBER 2021

to be as simple as possible for everyone. The ACR rules take the guesswork out of your application and their decision making. The ACR rules provide criteria for the current ACC to make appropriate decisions, and for future committees to make decisions that are consistent. Otherwise, the application approved today may be found unacceptable by future committee members when construction is completed. The ACR rules clarify the association’s authority in this area. California State statues and our Governing Documents give the TKPOA a legal right to enact and enforce design standards. The ACR rules spell this out so everyone understands they must comply even if they don’t agree. The Association Operating Rules are any regulation adopted by the Board of Directors of a condominium or homeowners association that applies to the management and operation of the association or the conduct of its business and affairs. Civil Code §4340. This includes pets, parking, use of the common areas, member discipline, architectural standards, election procedures, any schedule of monetary penalties, etc. Civil Code §4355(a). Excluded are decisions relating to common area maintenance, a specific matter (as opposed to a general policy), assessment amounts, a non-discretionary rule change required by law, or a rule that repeats existing law or the association’s bylaws, CC&Rs or articles of incorporation. Civil Code §4355(b). Enforceability of rules, as provided for in Civil Code §4350, an operating rule is enforceable if: (1) it is in writing, (2) it is within the board’s authority, (3) it is consistent with governing law and the associations governing documents, (4) it is adopted in good faith, and reasonable.

"....any property owner can propose an ACR or Operating “rule change” or change to the BYLAWS and CC&R’s and there is a process for these proposed rule changes."

The Rules Change Process

There is a specific process that must be followed for rule changes. Any property owners of the Association in good standing or Association management may submit a proposed rule change. First, the section/subsection of the existing rule must be documented verbatim. Then any additions to the rule should be inserted using bolded underlined text. Any deletions should be shown using strikethrough. A Purpose and Effect statement must also be included with the proposed change and should explain the purpose for the change and the effect the change will have. Once drafted, the proposed change goes through the following process: FOR ASSOCIATION RULES 1. Proposed changes are first submitted to the TKPOA staff and Board of Directors. The TKPOA staff will review the proposed rule change(s) and check it/them for proper format and ensure that it/they are not in conflict with any other governing documents, California Civil Code, ordinances or laws and to determine next steps, such as ACC or Legal Counsel Review.

TKPOA RULES AND THE RULES CHANGE PROCESS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 23

The proposed rule change is then placed on the next TKPOA Board of Directors Regular Meeting agenda upon the Board Presidents approval. The member submitting the proposed change should attend the meeting. All TKPOA members in good standing are welcome to attend these meetings. 2. If the Board of Directors approves the rule changes, it is then approved to be published in the Keys Breeze or sent as a mailing to all members for the required 28 day review period. 3. Requests for rule changes can be emailed to the TKPOA Board Administrative Assistant, Angela LaTella, ALaTella@tahoekeyspoa.org or they can be dropped off at the TKPOA Pavilion Office. Requests should be submitted at least ten days prior to the next scheduled Board meeting date. Notice of Proposed Change. Before adopting or amending an operating rule or changing a fine schedule, the Board must “provide written notice of a proposed rule change to the members at least 28 before making the rule change.” The notice must include the text of the proposed rule change and a description of its purpose and effect. Notice is not required if the board determines that an immediate rule change is necessary to address an imminent threat to public health or safety or imminent risk of substantial economic loss to the association. Civil Code §4360(a). Method of Notice. The method of providing notice of a rule change is described in Civil Code §4360 as the methods approved by Civil Code §4040, §4045 and §4050. TKPOA gives notice to the TKPOA member of proposed rule changes by publication in a TKPOA Keys Breeze monthly magazine that is mailed to all members of the association or through a direct mailing. The Keys Breeze is the official Monthly Publication of the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association. The Keys Breeze magazine is also available via our TKPOA website: www.TKPOA.com. (Also on the TKPOA website is additional information on the ACC Rules, CC&Rs, Operating Rules, and Bylaws change process) It is during this 28 day time period once the Notice of Proposed change is posted that the TKPOA Board of Directors would like to hear TKPOA members’ questions or concerns on the proposed rule change through attending regular monthly TKPOA Board meetings, emails and phone calls, attending the corresponding TKPOA Committee Meetings that the rule change may have originated with, or through contacting the TKPOA Administrative Assistant. 4. After the 28 day review period the proposed change will go back to the Board for approval to be adopted. Any member feedback that has been provided during the review period is considered by the Board before a decision is made. 5. If the Board approves the proposed change, it is published in Keys Breeze, or sent as a member mailing a second time as a notification to the membership that the rule has been changed along with its effective date.

Notice of Adoption. Within 15 days of voting on the rules, the board must notify the membership of the results of the vote. Civil Code §4360. Once adopted the new rule or rule change is added to the Association Operating Rules/”Governing Documents” and is enforceable. The TKPOA Operating Rules and Governing Documents are enforceable by the TKPOA Board of Directors through the TKPOA member discipline process, suspension of privileges, fines, and in some cases El Dorado County Ordinances and Codes. The TKPOA Board of Directors can approve Emergency Rule Changes under the Davis Stirling Act – Civil Code. If the board determines that an immediate rule change is required to address an imminent threat to public health or safety, or an imminent risk of substantial economic loss to the association, it may make an emergency rule change and no 28-day noticed waiting period is required. An emergency rule change is effective for 120 days, unless the rule change provides for a shorter effective period. Civil Code §4360. Any TKPOA member can propose a rule change or change to our Governing Documents, which include the Association Rules, the Bylaws, CC&Rs and the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) rules. Once the Emergency Rule has been approved it then follows the Operating Rules process for adoption as a permanent rule change of the TKPOA Association Rules. TKPOA Association Rules are operating rules that are defined by California’s Davis-Stirling Act. Based on ongoing updating and adding to our rules, the TKPOA Board of Directors, Architectural Control Committee (ACC) and TKPOA community members are all looking to improve the Tahoe Keys for all of its property owners. Not only to improve safety, but to maintain costs of operating the Association as well as protect your property values. If you need a copy of the current TKPOA Association Operating Rules and Governing Documents they can be found on the TKPOA website: www.TKPOA.com, or stop by the TKPOA Pavilion Office: Monday through Friday from 8:30 am–4:30 pm or Saturday through Sunday from 10 am–2 pm.

If the board determines that an immediate rule change is required to address an imminent threat to public health or safety, or an imminent risk of substantial economic loss to the association, it may make an emergency rule change and no 28-day noticed waiting period is required.
