those members in violation of the LHS Gate Access as specified in the Superior Court Case Judgement. 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.

EACH YEAR IN OCTOBER, TKPOA conducts a mailing to each member for their copy of the Annual Disclosure. This 80+ page document includes the upcoming year’s Operating Budget, Notice of Assessment Increases, Budget and Assessment Summary, Annual Update of TKPOA’s Reserve Study, and other pertinent required information for members of the TKPOA as we prepare to go into a new year. This mailing is a requirement of Civil Code §4040 for Homeowners Associations.

In 2018, the costs for printing and mailing the 2019 Annual Disclosure to all 1,529 members of the TKPOA totaled approximately $12,000. New as of 2020, updates to the Civil Code requirements allowed for Associations to provide members their Annual Disclosure via electronic delivery, such as email, as long as the member has provided the Association with a completed and signed “Consent to Receive Disclosures via Electronic Delivery” Form.

As of May 1st, 2021 TKPOA has received 450 “Consent to Receive Disclosures via Electronic Delivery” forms from members in time for the mailing of the 2022 Annual Disclosure. In October 2021, these 450 members will be sent an email with a link to their copy of the 2022 Annual Disclosure, resulting in an approximately $3,000–$5,000 savings in printing and mailing costs.

In order to increase these cost savings, TKPOA needs more members to sign up to receive their Annual Disclosures, and other communications via electronic delivery (email) as allowed by law. Examples of other electronic communications you may receive from TKPOA include Email Eblasts that get you the latest and greatest information on topics such as TKPOA Board Meetings, Town Hall Forum Announcements, Weed Harvesting Schedules, current and upcoming projects, Board Elections, etc.

The “Consent to Receive Disclosures via Electronic Delivery” form can be found on the TKPOA website www.tkpoa.com, requested from the front desk at info@tahoekeyspoa.org, or requested in person at the TKPOA Pavilion Office. Completed and signed forms should be returned to the TKPOA office at 356 Ala Wai Blvd, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96150. Contact the front desk with any questions at (530) 542-6444.

Please join us in our efforts in saving one tree at a time and a potential annual savings of $10,000–$12,000 for the Association!
