Testosterone’s Role in Men’s Health Keys Breeze

|

JUNE 2021

|

6

By Brian Steixner, MD LOW TESTOSTERONE, also known as “Low T,” is a common

condition in men as they get older. Testosterone levels peak around age 30 and naturally decline with age. However, because the decline is gradual, many men do not realize the impact that a low testosterone level can have on their quality of life and overall health.

Testosterone is a sex hormone that is produced primarily in a man’s testicles. During puberty, testosterone plays a key role in a man’s physical development; it makes hair grow on the face, builds muscles and causes the voice to deepen. Later in life, testosterone also plays an important role in a man’s sexual function and metabolic health.

Decreasing levels of testosterone have long been considered a natural part of the aging process. The older a man gets, the lower his testosterone levels may drop.

Low testosterone levels can have real and important health effects, especially on a man’s sex life. Men with low testosterone may have trouble getting and keeping an erection. The erections they do have may come less often and not as strongly as before. A man’s desire to have sex (libido) also decreases as testosterone drops. In addition, low testosterone has been associated with diabetes, high blood pressure, weight gain, depression, and decreased quality of life due to a lack of energy.

Men experiencing reduced sex drives or erection issues should make an appointment with their primary care provider; a blood test can help identify low testosterone and rule out any serious causes.

Testosterone levels can rise and fall during the day and more than one test may be needed, or a physician may encourage a morning blood test, which is when testosterone levels are highest.

If testosterone levels are low, a testosterone replacement therapy can be prescribed in the form of a topical gel, an injection, a patch or implant. Testosterone replacement therapy can help increase sex drive and energy levels, and may decrease a man’s risk of diabetes, high blood pressure and depression.

The unknowns associated with aging are daunting, but may not necessarily be something men must live with. Low testosterone levels can be supplemented, helping men take back an important part of their lives.

Truckee River Operating Agreement (TROA)

The TKPOA nor its property owners currently have water rights under the Truckee River Operating Agreement.

Taking water from the lagoons, Lake Tahoe, or Lake Tallac without water rights would be a direct violation of State and Federal law.

There is currently no legal right for any homeowner or the TKPOA to pump water from the Tahoe Keys lagoons for landscape irrigation or any other purpose.

A process does exist under TROA with the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) through which an individual property owner or the TKPOA could apply for water rights to appropriate water for such use.

However, without filing an application with the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and being granted an appropriative water right, pumping water from the lagoons would not be allowed.

By Kirk Wooldridge, General Manager PER CALIFORNIA EMPLOYMENT LAW the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA

provides the required California Workers Compensation Insurance that provides coverage to employees who are injured during the course of employment.

The TKPOA has seen a reduction in insurance premium cost, which is determined based our Experience Modification Rate that results from the amount and severity of workers compensation claims filed in a 5 to 7 year period. TKPOA has been successful in decreasing the number of claims filed through improved monthly and ongoing safety programs and communication with staff.

• For the June 1st, 2020–May 31st, 2022 renewal period, TKPOA’s Experience Modification rate has decreased 0.06 (0.81 to 0.75) resulting in a 7% decrease in our renewal rates offered by new carrier QBE. • For the June 1st, 2020–May 31st, 2021 renewal period, TKPOA’s Experience Modification rate has decreased by 0.17 (0.98 to 0.81) resulting in a -16% decrease in our renewal premium offered by our current carrier, Benchmark Insurance Company.

• For the June 1st, 2019–May 31st, 2020 renewal period, TKPOA’s Experience Modification rate has decreased by 0.23 (1.21 to 0.98) resulting in a 25% decrease in our renewal premium offered by our current carrier, Benchmark Insurance Company.

The TKPOA has been working with Hays Companies–Insurance Broker since 2016 and they have continual delivered on improved coverages at lower costs for our workers compensation package. Hays Companies went out to a total of eight carriers to obtain bids for the 2020–2021 TKPOA’s Workers Compensation Insurance Policy, with Benchmark Insurance remaining the most competitive. Based on working with Hays Companies they have assisted in reviewing and responding to all and any claims, and offer recommendations to improve safe work practices. Operations. Also since 2015 TKPOA staff’s “Work SAFE” Program has consistently keep employees trained monthly on safe work practices. Through these efforts we have been able to collectively save $87,850 dollars since 2015, and achieve the lowest workers compensation expense and MOD Experience rating to date since 2014.

In the end, it has resulted in a substantial cost savings for the TKPOA, employee reward and recognition and a of course a safe working environment.

The credit goes to the TKPOA staff for their ongoing commitment to safe work practices and continually creating a safe work environment. Since 2015, the TKPOA management staff implemented the “Work SAFE” monthly safety program with employee incentives for each quarterly milestone passed each year without an accident resulting in lost workdays.

The Board of Directors has supported and approved this “Work SAFE” program each year since 2016 and the managers and supervisors have implemented it with the monthly safety meetings and additional tailgate safety meetings in the summer months. In the end, it has resulted in a substantial cost savings for the TKPOA, employee reward and recognition and a of course a safe working environment.

The City of South Lake Tahoe Police Department will be called for trespassing on these properties. The TKPOA has clearly marked the property lines on the right of the lot. The left side of the lot has a chain link fence all the way down to the beach on the Pope Marsh side.

Lot C can be used to access Pope Marsh on the left, however access to the beach on the right is prohibited as this is private property and to do so is considered trespassing (CA 602PC).

Access to the right is also a dead end at the West Channel Bulkhead. During Lake Tahoe high water events there is typically no Public Trust beach access. To access Lot A at the end of the LHS roadway at the West Channel Bulkhead, you should walk down the LHS paved roadway.

Pursuant to the Superior Court Case SV-92-0066 Judgment the TKPOA is responsible for the maintenance and security obligations in enforcing this judgment, and at this time the enforcement of these violations including trespassing violations on the adjacent LHS property will be pursued. Based on TKPOA Security Patrols and pedestrian gate member card reader identification system, the TKPOA has issued warning notices and in some cases, fines, to those members in violation of the LHS gate access as specified in the Superior Court Case Judgment. The TKPOA Board of Directors will continue to utilize the member discipline process in accordance with Civil Code Section 5855 and TKPOA Bylaws Article VI, Membership Rights Section 5, Article IX, Duties and Powers of the Board Section 1(r), and TKPOA Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&R’s) Article XII, Breach or Default, Section 6 (a-f), to enforce this Superior Court Case SV-92-0066 Judgment, related governing documents, and rules.

The LHS pedestrian and vehicle gates are under continuous surveillance and all TKPOA member photo ID card access is recorded so it is easy to track any violations. Once the violations are identified with the responsible property owners through the member discipline hearing process, TKPOA property owners could face their individual and property member photo ID card access privileges suspended, member photo ID cards confiscated, and potential fines.

The TKPOA is requesting that all property owners please respect these rules so that we can all continue to enjoy this privilege of accessing Lot C and Lot A. Continued violations and flagrant abuse of these rules could result in legal claims against the TKPOA and potential gate closures.

By Keiron McCammon, Board Treasurer TO IMPROVE COMMUNICATION with and between homeowners, the TKPOA recently

launched a new and improved website: tkpoa.com Based on the recent survey results, the website was the third most popular form of communication, after email and Keys Breeze. While email is excellent for its immediacy, and Keys Breeze is great as a monthly newsletter, both of these are ephemeral. Once you’ve read the email, it’s typically forgotten, and I’m guessing not many keep an archive of Keys Breeze magazines handy. Therefore the website is the best place for homeowners to find the latest information regarding Association matters. Unfortunately, our old website was proving hard to maintain and was no longer being updated regularly.

Our new website has a brand new modern look, is designed to work just as well on mobile devices as it does on a desktop computer, and the site has a host of new features for registered users to enjoy.

You’ll find an overview of what’s new on the “Homepage,” whether that be links to information regarding our current water shortage or the latest news posts. The “About” menu has links to the website’s main areas, each of our committees, departments, and amenities.

The website’s “News” section is where you can read about what is currently happening in the Tahoe Keys, outside of the monthly Keys Breeze. Have a question about the current status of the water shortage, check out the News section for the latest updates.

The new and improved Events section of the site should make it easier to find the meetings you are interested in attending. If you are signed in, each event (when available) will have instructions on joining the online meeting for those wishing to attend virtually. Meeting agendas are posted to the “Documents” section of the site.

As part of building out the new website, 2000+ documents have been reorganized and are now available to browse and search.

As part of building out the new website, 2000+ documents have been reorganized and are now available to browse and search. Looking for Board meeting agendas or minutes, you’ll be able to find them here (you’ll need to be signed in first).

Talking of signing in, the vast majority of accounts from the old site have been migrated to the new site. Most of you should be able to sign in with the same username or email and password that you previously used. If you registered within the last two months, you might need to re-register, as some of these newer accounts did not get migrated (many apologies for the inconvenience).

If you face any issues signing in or registering, you can email our Webmaster for help (webmaster@tahoekeyspoa.org). After registering, your information will be reviewed and compared to homeowner records before your account is approved, which may take 24 to 48 hours depending on the availability of our Webmaster.

Once you’ve signed in, you’ll see a navigation bar on the left-hand side of the page (or under the mobile menu on your phone) that provides access to the member directory, discussion forums, and groups. These features are only accessible to registered members of the site, and all user registrations are vetted to ensure only homeowners and Association staff gain access.

These new community features are designed to allow homeowners to connect online and communicate with each other and our various committees and Board of Directors.

I’d like to encourage homeowners to sign in (or register if you don’t yet have an account) and update your profile.

Add a selfie and make sure that your name and street are correct. Please use your real name; this is a secure site, and using real names will foster a better sense of community and trust.

Looking to connect with your neighbor, go to the member directory to search by name, or filter down to members on the same street as you. Like Facebook, you can send a request to connect with someone you know and send them messages. Great if you’re looking to organize a block party of activity on your street.

You’ll notice that most pages feature some of the stunning scenery we get to enjoy by owning here in the Keys. We wanted the site to feel like you were browsing a photo album. That said, I had to raid my photo album to find as many different images as I could; we’d love to showcase your stunning photos instead and switch things up through the seasons. Got a gorgeous shot? Email it to our Webmaster (webmaster@tahoekeyspoa.org), and we’ll post it as a hero image on one of the site’s pages.

The new website was developed at zero cost to the Association; it has been a labor of love and developed solely through the volunteerism of homeowners. I hope you enjoy the new site and find its numerous new features and content helpful.

Have a suggestion? Why not try out the general discussion forum and post your thoughts.

Oh, one last thing, this is an experimental part of the site, but we have moved some of the membership forms online. You can find them under the “Documents” menu.

You can now sign up for electronic delivery of notices, for example, something we highly recommend to help reduce costs.

Depending on how well these online forms work out, we’ll move more online, including the various ACC applications. Doing more online should make it easier for homeowners to interact with the Association and help streamline our processes.

By Linda Callahan, Architectural Control Department Manager

CONSTRUCTION SEASON IS HERE. Many of you have projects planned for 2021. If those plans involve any portion of the exterior of your home, the Architectural Control Committee (ACC) needs to be involved in the permitting and approval process.

The Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) Architectural Control Rules (ACR), Section 7, explains Exterior Building Materials and Finish requirements and reads as follows: 07.01 Experience has shown that many finishes and materials do not withstand the harsh Tahoe weather. Many materials are not compatible with the overall appearance the Architectural Control Committee wishes to maintain for the aesthetics of the community.

07.02 Left intentionally blank.

07.03 All exterior siding materials listed in the current California Building Code are considered.

07.04 Siding: Applications for use of any type of siding must be accompanied by a representative sample indicating surface configurations, color and dimensions (width, length, thickness).

07.05 Unprotected wood is not allowed on structures or fences. Colors must complement the environment. Earth tones are advisable and desirable. Flashy, bright, and highly reflective colors are not permitted.

07.06 Before painting or repainting, samples of paint or stain colors must be applied to the structure for review. For new construction, actual material samples on which the paint is to be applied must be provided. Only flat or satin finishes are permitted.

07.07 All exterior surfaces including trim, stairs, railing and garage/front doors must be painted or stained to complement the house and neighborhood.

EXTERIOR BUILDING MATERIALS AND FINISHES Please contact the Architectural Control Department for ALL exterior projects. You can reach us at (530) 542-6444, ext. 239 or lcallahan@tahoekeyspoa.org .

Public Safety Power Shutoff

PREPARING FOR THE POSSIBILITY

LIBERTY IS WORKING YEAR-ROUND to mitigate the risk of a wildfire caused by electrical infrastructure. While we are making great strides to address the safety and reliability of our grid, extreme fire conditions may still warrant preemptive de-energization measures, also known as a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS). Therefore, planning for and knowing what to expect from a PSPS will aid your wildfire protection and preparedness efforts.

levels ignite easily and spread rapidly, as no heat energy is wasted trying to drive water out of the fuel.

• Red Flag Warnings – The National Weather Service issues these warnings to alert of the onset, or possible onset, of critical weather or dry conditions that would lead to swift increases in wildfire activity.

What Constitutes Extreme Fire Weather?

How Will We Know if a PSPS is Activated?

A PSPS is reserved for times when fire weather conditions are at their most extreme, and de-energizing a portion of the electrical grid is the prudent decision to best protect our customers, communities, and the environment.

Many of the same factors that are used by fire agencies to determine a Red Flag warning are also considered when determining if weather conditions warrant a PSPS. Liberty has deployed weather stations throughout the service area and collaborates with a fire and weather scientific consultant, the National Weather Service in Reno, Nevada, and local fire officials to monitor real-time local weather conditions to evaluate when to activate a PSPS. No single factor will drive a PSPS. A combination of factors reaching or exceeding set limits drives whether a PSPS will be initiated. Some of these factors include:

• Low Humidity Levels – Potential fuels are more

likely to ignite when there is a lower amount of water vapor in the air.

• Forecast Sustained Winds and Gusts – High winds can result in several factors that may cause a fire to ignite. Sustained winds can also cause the fire to spread and even throw embers into the air and create additional fires.

• Dry Fuel Conditions – Trees and other vegetation act as fuel for wildfires. Fuels with low moisture Keys Breeze

|

Advance notification is critical in any PSPS scenario, and Liberty will alert customers, public safety partners, the community, and others at the earliest opportunity.

When possible, Liberty will directly notify customers of a PSPS approximately 48 hours before power is shut off, 24 hours before power is shut off, just before power is shut off, during the PSPS, and once power has safely been restored. Direct notification is the best, most effective way to keep customers apprised of a PSPS event. We strongly encourage every customer to call Liberty at 1 (800) 782-2506 to confirm their contact information is current. If you have a friend or loved one with access and functional needs, help them update their contact information, and consider adding yourself as a secondary contact. Customers with medical equipment that relies on electricity may be eligible for the medical baseline allowance, and those enrolled may also receive priority PSPS information. Call 1 (800) 7822506 to see if you qualify.

In addition to direct PSPS notifications and updates, Liberty will post outage information at libertyutilities.com, as well as on Facebook (@LibertyUtilitiesLT) and Twitter (@LibertyUtil_CA).

Knowing if a PSPS event is coming, how long it will last, and whom it will affect is an important first step to being prepared for and staying safe and comfortable should a PSPS event occur.

JUNE 2021

24

How do I Prepare?

Once you have confirmed your contact information is current, PSPS preparation is not much different from any power outage preparation. Customers should consider the following, so that their homes, businesses, and families are prepared:

• Plan for medical needs that may be impacted by a power shutoff, including • • • • •

medications that need refrigeration or devices that require power. Be sure to register any medical-related energy needs at 1 (800) 782-2506.

Create an emergency kit, including flashlights, batteries, first aid supplies and maps of the local area. For additional emergency kit necessities, consult Ready. gov.

Store non-perishable foods and water to support your family and pets for a minimum of 48 hours.

Keep a full tank of gas or a fully charged battery for your vehicle, as gas and charging stations may be affected by a power outage Keep cash available, as ATMs and credit card machines may be unavailable during a power outage.

Be sure phones and other critical electronic devices are charged, and consider investing in a backup battery or power source, potentially one that can recharge with solar.

CREATE AN EMERGENCY KIT, INCLUDING FLASHLIGHTS, BATTERIES, FIRST AID SUPPLIES AND MAPS OF THE LOCAL AREA. FOR ADDITIONAL EMERGENCY KIT NECESSITIES, CONSULT READY.GOV.

Liberty’s top priority is the safety of customers and our communities, and we take precautions to keep our beautiful region safe from the risk of wildfire. To learn more about our wildfire mitigation program, call 1 (800) 782-2506 or visit LibertyUtilities.com.

Cove 3C & Cove 3A Bulkhead Replacement Projects Update

By Kirk Wooldridge, General Manager

Cove 3C Bulkhead Replacement Project (910 Linear Feet – Reach 11 & 12)

AS OF JUNE 1ST, 2021, Anvil Builders Inc. (ABI) has informed the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) that they will not be continuing contract negotiations for the Cove 3C Bulkhead Replacement Project. ABI has indicated due to the “change in conditions” of the project constructability with current and forecasted drought condition affecting the lake levels, they are not willing to continue contract negotiations and project planning for a postponed project. ABI has recommended that the TKPOA rebid the project in the future when the conditions are favorable for the project construction and completion.

On April 21st, 2021, the Cove 3C townhome property owners legally voted in favor of moving forward with this project, contracting with ABI and validating an individual Townhome Property Owner Special Assessment of $76,000 per townhome property. Now that ABI has withdrawn from the contract negotiations and withdrawn their proposal the project cannot legally move forward as voted on by the Cove 3C townhome property owners. The Cove 3C Voting Ballot for the Cove 3C Bulkhead Replacement is now no longer valid. As of June 1st, 2021, the $76,000 Special Assessment is no longer required by the Cove 3C townhome property owners since the Voting Ballot is no longer valid. For those Cove 3C townhome property owners that have already paid the $76,000 Special Assessment or a portion of it, this payment will be refunded by the TKPOA Accounting department.

On May 18th, 2021, the Cove 3A townhome property owners conducted an “email vote” and it was passed by majority vote as legally required, to agree to fund the Cove 3A 23 linear feet portion of this project, which is currently estimated at $125,000 which includes the bulkhead replacement and required drainage work the Cove 3A portion of 23 linear feet (near Cove 3A Townhome Units 146–149) of the total 910 linear feet of this Cove 3C Bulkhead project. Now that ABI has withdrawn from the contract negotiations and withdrawn their proposal the project cannot legally move forward as voted on by the Cove 3A townhome property owners.

Keys Breeze

|

On June 1st, 2021, a Town Hall Forum was held for the Cove 3C townhome property owners via a Zoom webhosted conference call. The Cove 3C townhome property owners in attendance were informed of this current development and notification by ABI. The information stated above was discussed at this Town Hall Forum. An official mailing has been sent to all Cove 3C townhome property owners providing this information.

Cove 3A Bulkhead Replacement Project (110 Linear Feet – Reach 8 & 9 near Cove 3A Units 167–156)

As of April 28th, 2021, Tahoe Marine and Excavating is unable to schedule this project for the 2021 Summer for several reasons. At this time, they are withdrawing their proposal. An official mailing has been sent to all Cove 3A Townhome Property owners providing this information.

Moving Forward

The TKPOA Board of Directors and TKPOA staff will support the Cove 3C and Cove 3A townhome property owners on working toward an improved project design as requested, revision of the construction documents/ specifications, bid sheets, contract, and Request for Proposal (RFP) process. Also, the TKPOA staff and Cove Advisor will work with Cove 3C townhome property owners on developing options for future project funding payment plans, special assessments or quarterly assessments. Additional email communication will be provided on this information as it is developed, and a Cove 3C website group has been set up on the TKPOA website at TKPOA.com, please following the link: tkpoa. com/groups/cove-3c

2021 Boating Season

As explained above the Cove 3C Bulkhead Replacement Project will not be taking place this 2021 Summer, so no Townhome docks will be affected, or removed for Cove 3C (Units 111–145), Cove 3A (Units 146–167) and Cove 3B (Units 92–110).

Questions or Requests for Information

Also, any additional questions can be answered by contacting the TKPOA front desk at (530) 542-6444 Monday through Friday, 8:30 am – 4:30 pm, Saturday and Sunday, 10:00 am – 2:00 pm.
