for fall and another pending winter. Like the seasons, our association has changed with another Board Election and a new Board President. I am humbled, yet excited, to serve my neighbors and friends as this year’s Board President. I certainly have large shoes to fill. Past President John Gonzales and the last Board did an outstanding job steering our association through several hurdles and I want to thank them for their many volunteer hours and hard work. During this election cycle, many Homeowners have expressed their displeasure and concerns with increasing THE PAST PROJECTS AND Association costs, HOA Assessment NEEDED REPAIRS/UPDATING increases, and possible pending Special Assessments. I’m extremely proud to serve on our current Board that has heard these HAVE COME AT A COST, concerns and have proven themselves to PUTTING A MAJOR REDUCTION be extremely financially responsible as we work on our next budget. During the last IN OUR CURRENT RESERVE few years, our prior Boards, and Association Staff, have made great strides completing ACCOUNTS. numerous projects and maintaining our aging infrastructure. The past projects and needed repairs/updating have come at a cost, putting a major reduction in our current reserve accounts.

We’re leaving breast cancer with no place to hide
• The tube moves in a 50-degree arc around the breast, taking 25 images during the exam. • The result is a clear and comprehensive image that helps us look inside the breast

Igniting Your Sense of Purpose By Nancy Laurenson, MSc., NBC-HWC LIVING IN ALIGNMENT WITH A SENSE OF PURPOSE gives our lives a solid
foundation and allows for true meaning and joy to emerge. One of the pillars of wellness is pursuing a sense of purpose and unlocking what it means to you can greatly improve your well-being. As important as having a sense of purpose is for our mental and physical health, finding it can be difficult due to the distractions of our daily lives and routines. Here are my suggestions to discover what ignites your passion and can help you live a purpose-driven life:

FINDING FLOW
Determining what brings meaning to your life is the first and most critical step. What has meaning helps define importance, and builds the foundation from which we live our lives. If you volunteer, have a hobby or an activity that you enjoy, then you have already found a passion. Invest time in this passion as often as possible and start sharing your experience and insights with the world. If you still haven’t found a passion or purpose, perhaps it is time to explore this concept and take time for reflection. Look carefully everywhere around you. Go back to your childhood pleasures. Where do you get ‘into a flow” or lose track of time? Has your calling been somewhere close, but you were too distracted to connect with it? Volunteering or giving a helping hand to be of service can also aid self-exploration.
SEEK CLARITY
It helps to have clarity around your desires, aspirations or dreams. Our vision for passion and purpose usually takes time to unfold and often changes over the years. Seeking clarity and allowing for exploration to find your passion or purpose is part of life’s traveled path. Sometimes we stumble; other times the
path seems more straightforward or may have accompanied us for years. Always, it is about questioning and allowing new ideas to shape and define who we are or what we truly want. Ask yourself, what do you love doing? Where does your heart feel contentment? When does your best self appear? We each have unique gifts to share with the world, from raising a child to caring for the sick, building a bridge or bringing laughter to others. What are your unique gifts? Where does compassion, civic calling and meaning intersect in your life?
LEAVE YOUR COMFORT ZONE
To ignite your sense of purpose, you may need to get outside of your comfort zone to do something that you’ve always wanted to do, but never had the courage or opportunity to do so. Perhaps, take more risks. Go on an adventure without planning. Jump into a big decision and make the most of it. Have fun exploring the meaning in your life beyond the day-to-day routine. Nancy Laurenson, MSc. NBC-HWC, is a wellness navigator and health coach at the Barton Center for Orthopedics and Wellness.
Nancy Laurenson is facilitating an Ignite Your Life Purpose workshop, November 9 at the Barton Center for Orthopedics & Wellness. This workshop inspires participants to create new possibilities in their lives through discussion around the power of living with intention and awareness, and explore new opportunities to discover what gives meaning in their lives.

TKPOA “CONTEMPT OF COURT ORDER” CASE —
TKM&YC vs TKPOA (SLTL-4914) Abstract Judgement Recorded against the Tahoe Keys Marina & Yacht Club, LLC By Kirk Wooldridge, General Manager
ON AUGUST 6TH, 2019 the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) recorded an Abstract of Judgement – Civil and Small Claims against the Tahoe Keys Marina & Yacht Club LLC (TKM&YC) with El Dorado County Recorder DOC-2019-0031185-00.
This Abstract of Judgement is the result of three years of legal action against the TKM&YC for the ““Contempt of Court Order” Case - TKM&YC vs TKPOA (SLTL-4914) [TKPOA vs Horton], filed in the Superior Court of California - County of El Dorado – Cameron Park, California. The amount of this Abstract of Judgement to be collected from the TKM&YC is $98,006.92 for legal fees incurred by the TKPOA in pursing this legal action and the two court hearings on August 30th, 2017 and October 10th, 2018. Art Zorio - Attorney and the Law Firm Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP (BHFS) representing the TKPOA originally filed for a motion for Legal Fee reimbursement for the amount of $181,466. In January 2019 the Superior Court of California - County of El Dorado – Cameron Park ruled that the amount of $98,006.92 would be allowed for this case. The TKM&YC Management has been notified of the recorded Abstract of Judgement DOC2019-0031185-00, and the TKPOA has requested payment.

Tahoe Film Fest
Announces Opening Night Film NORTH LAKE TAHOE — Tahoe Film Fest is pleased to announce their Opening Night Film for the 5th annual film festival event. Marriage Story, starring Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson and directed by Academy Award nominee Noah Baumbach. This highly anticipated film will open the festival on Thursday evening, December 5th, at the Incline Village Cinemas. Writer-director Noah Baumbach offers another alternately funny and deeply moving snapshot of a marriage in its final stages. With divorce proceedings in full swing as the film opens, New York City theatre director Charlie (Adam Driver) and LA-bound actress Nicole (Scarlett Johansson) have promised to keep their separation an amicable one, not just for each other but for their young son as well, but hurtful admissions and vicious verbal spats quickly sour those ambitions. As Driver and Johansson deliver rich, layered performances at Marriage Story’s heart, Baumbach surrounds his stars with one of the year’s strongest ensembles—Laura Dern, Alan Alda, Ray Liotta, Merritt Wever, and Julie Hagerty—as he jumps back and forth through Nicole and Charlie’s relationship to capture a kaleidoscopic, bittersweet tale of lost and found love. The full program for this year’s 5th Tahoe Film Fest will be found on the festival website on or about November 1, 2019. Tickets will be available on-line or at the theater box-office.

Davis Stirling Civil Code § 4041 – PROPERTY OWNERS MAILING ADDRESS INFORMATION By Kirk Wooldridge, General Manager & Don Havard, Accounting Manager
WITH THE UPCOMING 2020 ANNUAL DISCLOSURE mailing will be the request for all Tahoe
Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) to provide the Davis Stirling Civil Code § 4041 information. As of January 1st, 2017, every California community association has been required to ask its members to provide their contact information and property status. Civil Code § 4041 has required, starting January 1st, 2017, that each association must solicit the following information from its members and an owner of a separate interest shall, on an annual basis, provide written notice to the association of all of the following: 1. The address or addresses to which notices from the association are to be delivered. 2. An alternate or secondary address to which notices from the association are to be delivered. 3. The name and address of the owner’s legal representative, if any, including any person with power of attorney or other person who can be contacted in the event of the owner’s extended absence from the separate interest. 4. Whether the separate interest is owner-occupied, is rented out, if the parcel is developed but vacant, or if the parcel is undeveloped land. Although the statute does not mention how often an association must solicit this information, it does state that each member is responsible for providing this information to the association on an annual basis. The association shall solicit these annual notices of each owner and, at least 30 days prior to making its own required “Annual Disclosure”. If a Property Owner fails to provide the notices set forth in requirements (1) and (2) above, the last address provided in writing by the owner or, if none, the property address shall be deemed to be the address to which notices are to be delivered. It’s important to note that as long as the Association requests all of the contact information above, Civil Code § 4041 places the responsibility on the Property Owners to provide their correct and current contact information. Requiring members to provide this information should aid associations in giving notice of meetings or for other required notices as well as with the collection of delinquent assessments as it should help negate the argument that a notice was sent to the wrong address in the future. Please contact the TKPOA Front Desk Staff at (530) 542-6444 if you have a change of Property Owners Information, and would like to request a Change of Address or 4041 Form Information.

At the September 5th, 2019 Finance Committee meeting, the third draft of the 2020 Budget was reviewed. The Committee voted to recommend to the TKPOA Board of Directors to maintain Water Quality dues to landlocked homeowners at the same rate as all other TKPOA homeowners on the basis that the maintenance and quality of the lagoons is a benefit to every homeowner in the Keys and to increase the Water Quality manager to full-time status.

The technology uses microporous ceramic disks that are placed throughout the area to be aerated. These disks Keys Breeze
|
are connected by self-sinking hoses connected to an air compressor. Air is pumped through the system creating an abundance of bubbles that rise and create laminar flow and provide oxygenation to the bottom of the water column where dissolved oxygen is typically the lowest. The LFA system will be installed and monitored to determine the ability of the system to do the following: • Increase the dissolved oxygen (DO) levels at the sediment/water interface. • Reduce the percent Organic Matter (OM) in the sediments under which the LFA system is deployed. • Promote circulation in the water column and decrease the amount of algae present, potentially preventing harmful algal blooms. • Increase bottom hardness by reducing OM content.

By Linda Callahan, Architectural Control Department Manager
THE TKPOA ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL DEPARTMENT (ACD) would like to remind you of a few
tips for keeping your home and family protected now that the cold weather has arrived.
• When you are not at your home, keep your thermostat on 55 degrees. Broken pipes are common this time of year. • Sprinklers and any landscape irrigation should be shut off. • Carefully check all windows and doors before leaving your home. High winds may cause a window to blow open. • Be sure your crawl space is sealed off and secure. Bears are looking for a cozy spot under your house to hibernate. Pine Sol is the best deterrent. • Please keep your friends, family and pets off the ice in the lagoons. It may seem thick enough to walk on, but with fluctuating temperatures it’s not. • If you are leaving a boat in the water all winter, please winterize and adequately secure your boat to the dock. Sinking and/or drifting boats are not uncommon this time of year. Also, only white shrink-wrap is allowed if the boats are to remain docked. • If you are going to be gone for an extended period of time, please fill out a vacation check form. This information alerts the Security Department to pay special attention to your property. This form is available at the TKPOA pavilion front desk located at 356 Ala Wai Blvd. and on our website @ TKPOA.com. Thank you and have a safe winter season.

PRESIDENT'S LETTER
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3
focus on improving water quality within our waterways, rising staff and insurance cost, providing safe drinking water, and maintaining our aging infrastructure. The Board of Directors understands and appreciates these challenges and know we have to manage our resources prudently. Our Association needs your help in achieving our goals. Firstly, I urge you to get involved, attend a Finance Committee Meeting, Water Quality Meeting, or a Board Meeting. Our community is made up of extremely intelligent and gifted individuals, of many professions, and our committees and our Board need your expertise and ideas. Second, without feedback and dialogue from its members, no Board can be successful. I encourage you to reach out to a Board Member, or our TKPOA Staff, and let us know what direction you would like to see our Association take and where you would like to see improvements. The Board and myself are here to serve our members and I look forward to hearing from you.
