his is my last message as President of the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) Board of Directors. Thank you for allowing me to serve as Director and President over the past two years. Please continue to support the Board and staff as they work to maintain the Tahoe Keys Community. Tahoe Keys property owners are fortunate to have a dedicated Board of Directors and a wonderful support staff.

I have the following suggestions for the new Board and incoming President: 1. Remember that Board members represent all property owners in Tahoe Keys. There are "TAHOE KEYS PROPERTY 21 subdivisions or coves within the Tahoe Keys Community. The residents of each OWNERS ARE FORTUNATE have their own concerns and suggestions regarding policies that the Board sets. Listen TO HAVE A DEDICATED to the Community and base your decisions on what is in the best interest of all of BOARD OF DIRECTORS Tahoe Keys.

2. Carefully consider the operating budget AND A WONDERFUL to maintain property owner dues at reasonable levels. Controlling costs and finding SUPPORT STAFF." other sources of revenue other than increasing dues are important considerations.

3. Listen to different opinions and even disagree, but do not be disagreeable. Healthy discussion, debate and differing opinions are worthwhile and educational.

Mutual respect, cooperation, and consideration will help the Board resolve many issues.

4. Maintain a sense of humor while working for the Community. The job of a Board member is time consuming and at times frustrating. At those times, good will and humor may help Board members cope with the often difficult decisions made for the Keys Community.

5. Do not micro-manage. The Board's responsibility is setting policy making decisions regarding the over-all direction for the Community. The General Manager and staff manage the day to day activities of Tahoe Keys not Board members.

6. Temper personal agendas with knowledge gained as a Board member. All of us in the Tahoe Keys Community have our own opinions of the direction to be taken by the Board. However, once a property owner is elected to the Board, understanding the issues before making decisions will temper personal opinions that may not be correct.

It has been an honor and an education serving as a Board member and President. Thank you for the courtesy you have demonstrated at Board meetings and other events. The Tahoe Keys Community is truly wonderful not only because of the neighborhood beauty, but because the people in Tahoe Keys are the best. Thank you for the opportunity to serve.

Respectfully, John Gonzales, TKPOA Board President

DAVIS STIRLING CIVIL CODE § 4041

Property Owners Mailing Address Information

By Kirk Wooldridge, General Manager & Don Havard, Accounting Manager

W

ith 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.

NATIONAL PREPARADNESS MONTH

Keys Breeze

From the flick of a switch to the push of a button, electricity is there when we need it.

But then the power goes out, and we’re forced to acknowledge just how much we rely on its presence. It heats and cools our homes. It preserves our food and drinks, and in some cases our medication! It powers all of our electronics, forcing us to ration what’s left of our phone battery. But the impact is felt far beyond the four walls of our homes, it disrupts the water and sewer pumps, street lights, gas pumps and cash registers. While it doesn’t happen often, a power outage is felt far and wide. That’s why now is a better time than ever to plan ahead and be prepared for the next power outage.

Why Do Power Outages Happen?

There are several causes for a power outage and the potential for one exists year-round.

At the technical level, all outages are a result of an electrical short, blown fuse or equipment failure. But some of the more common catalysts include: z Winter storms that knock trees or branches into power lines z Vehicle accidents into power poles z Critters and birds that ignore high voltage signs and end up touching the wrong wires, transformers or substations z Scheduled maintenance or system upgrades z Transmission disruption (power isn’t getting to us) z Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) or de-energization to mitigate wildfire risk Most power outages do not come with advanced notice, which is why those that do are usually with good reason. Planned outages for scheduled maintenance or system upgrades are an effort by Liberty Utilities to improve reliability and reduce the potential for future outages. Additionally, Liberty Utilities will also issue PSPS, a type of a planned outage to

SEPTEMBER 2019

mitigate wildfire risk. However, due to rapidly changing weather conditions, advanced notice may be minimal.

Planned or unplanned. Winter, spring, summer or fall.

The message is simple – power outages can happen any time, any day.

How Long Does an Outage Last?

Each outage is different and numerous factors contribute to the length, including the time of day, complexity of the problem, and location and accessibility to the transmission line in question. Typical outages last between several minutes and eight hours. However, it is not all that uncommon for an outage to last a day or more. Although an outage duration of an hour or two is inconvenient, food won’t spoil, water will stay hot and the temperature of your home won’t change too much.

However, an extended outage, like a PSPS, will begin to present challenges beyond just inconvenience. To learn more about PSPS, visit: california.libertyutilities.com/ north-lake-tahoe/residential/safety/electrical/wildfire-mitigation.html How Can I Prepare?

Liberty Utilities is working tirelessly to educate and prepare our customers and communities for shortand long-term power outages, but we can’t do it alone.

Customers should consider the following to ensure their homes, businesses and families are prepared: z Call 1-800-782-2506 to confirm your contact information is up-to-date, so Liberty Utilities can alert you of outages, potential PSPSs and other emergency notifications. For significant planned or unplanned outages, including a PSPS, customers can receive email, text and/or voice notifications, so that they can plan accordingly based on the estimated outage duration.

z 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. z Create an emergency kit including flashlights, batteries and first aid supplies. For additional emergency kit necessities, consult Ready.gov. z Store nonperishable foods and water to support your family for a minimum of 48 hours. z Consider purchasing a solar powered back-up battery device to keep small electronics such as cell phones, tablets and even computers charged.

During an outage, you should: z Keep your refrigerator and freezer closed as much as possible. The contents will not spoil for many hours if the door is kept closed. z Turn off all appliances, including computers and peripherals, especially those that generate heat. This helps prevent hazards or damage when service is restored. z Turn off all lights except one inside your home/ business and one outside. The inside light lets you see, and the outside light lets Liberty Utilities’ crews know when the power is back on. z Conserve electricity in the first hours after power is restored to prevent further outages on your lines. z Keep all doors closed to keep the heat inside.

Liberty Utilities does everything it can to provide safe, reliable electric service. However, between Mother Nature, accidents and maintenance, power outages do occur and being prepared is the best possible way to mitigate the inconvenience.

By Heather Blumenthal, Operations Manager and Linda Callahan, Architectural Control Department Manager We hope that everyone was able to make it out to the 56th Annual Homeowner’s picnic on September 1st, 2019 from 12PM-4PM. The weather was sunny and beautiful and we had some great food and entertainment. Attendance for this year’s event was over 450 Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) homeowners, their family members, and guests.

On behalf of the TKPOA staff, we would like to give a special thank you to all the TKPOA homeowners that volunteered for the 2019 Homeowners Picnic. A big thank you goes out to: Joanne Donmoyer, Kazi Shintaku, Dave and Brenda Nickel, Marilyn Bowden, Rita Anders, Dave and Norma Rogstad, Dennis and Kay Pratt, Chris and Pat Disney, Liz Hansen, Morton Meiers, John Gonzales, Joy Curry-Norem, Adele Lucas, Jackie Gilpin, Ren Valencia, Nenos Mattos, and Paul and Susan Turney.

Due to a lack of a community volunteer chairperson for this year’s event, TKPOA staff was tasked with the planning and operational responsibilities.

Linda Callahan, Architectural Control Department Manager (ACD) assumed the Chairperson responsibilities, with Kirk Wooldridge, General Manager and Heather Blumenthal, Operations Manager working as Co-Chairpersons.

This year, Staff contracted with Cocomo’s Catering for the second year to cater this event. Cocomo’s provided all the delicious food including tri-tip, pulled pork, fruit salad, and a quinoa vegetarian dish. This was the fifth year of continuing line reductions for check in and food lines.

For the fourth year in a row, the beverage station included Unruly wines, sodas, a TKPOA water station and beer provided by our local restaurant and brewery, Coldwater Brewery, owned and operated by TKPOA homeowner Deborah Brown: www.tahoecoldwaterbrewery.com. Beer selections included Waterhouse Wheat, Preacher’s Pale Ale and Tahoe Cross IPA. For check-in, TKPOA Staff designated three check-in points based on our Pavilion Beach fence entrances. Allowing TKPOA homeowners Keys Breeze

to check in by last name, as designated A-I, J-R and S-Z, expedited the check-in process and eliminated the historical line for the fourth year in a row.

Local favorite band Sierra Gypsies performed live music, playing a great blend of acoustic music featuring some old, some new, great harmonies and a great time.

Many members also enjoyed the TKPOA Corn Hole Game set up on the grassy area by the Pavilion.

A photo opportunity was offered with resident photographer and TKPOA Project Coordinator/Project Manager Jim Brooks to capture the moment for you, your family and guests. Check out all the pictures at www.tkpoa.com, by looking under the NEWS tab, for “Homeowners Annual Picnic 2019 - Pictures” – you will find some fun photos of a memorable day!

of the TKPOA staff members that participated in this year’s Homeowner Annual Picnic. Many TKPOA staff members rearranged their schedules to accommodate the staffing requirements for the picnic set-up and service during this Labor Day weekend. Based on our best estimate, 300 TKPOA staff hours were utilized in the planning and operations of this event. TKPOA staff was able to meet the expected requirements for this year’s picnic and keep the costs under the 2019 budgeted expense of $18,000.

Thank you again to Linda Callahan for assuming the Chairperson responsibilities, Heather Blumenthal and Kirk Wooldridge as Co-Chairpersons and TKPOA staff and homeowner volunteers for all their efforts. We hope that you and your family enjoyed yourselves and we will see you all next year. The proposed 2020 Homeowner Picnic date is Sunday September 6th, 2020 from 12PM-4PM.

Keys Breeze

|

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: z Increase the dissolved oxygen (DO) levels at the sediment/water interface. z Reduce the percent Organic Matter (OM) in the sediments under which the LFA system is deployed. z Promote circulation in the water column and decrease the amount of algae present, potentially preventing harmful algal blooms. z Increase bottom hardness by reducing OM content. Grant money received from League to Save Lake Tahoe.

IN MEMORIAM Trisha Ann Bergman October 8, 1963 – July 26, 2019 Trisha was born in South Lake Tahoe on October 8, 1963. Trisha worked in the TKPOA accounting office as Bookkeeper from 2007 to 2014. Many of you will remember her for her humor, quick wit and willingness to work tirelessly for the Association. Every year she helped organize the Annual Homeowner Picnic.

In 2010 while working for the Association, Trisha was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. She continued to work through her chemo and radiation treatments which totaled 4 years and numerous operations.

On July 26, 2019, Trisha Ann Bergman lost her fight against breast cancer. She is survived by her son Zack, daughter Mekaela and granddaughter Valerie.

She was predeceased by her father Jack Bergman, in March of this year.

Trisha loved gardening, Zumba, spin class, reggae music, live concerts, riding her bike and snowshoeing. She was an amazing mother, great friend, and truly an inspiration to anyone who met her.

Her family is accepting donations to assist with Trisha's final costs: www.gofundme.com/f/Trisha-and-Family

WHAT’S THE BUZZ Rules Notice of Change in Association

with the Lake Tallac TEXT OF PROPOSED CHANGES “New Buildable Lot” Vote?

By Kirk Wooldridge, General Manager In July 2019 The Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) sent out a voting ballot for TKPOA Property Owners to vote on whether to sell the Lake Tallac “New Buildable Lot.” Ballots were tabulated on Saturday August 31st, 2019 by Inspector of Elections Pat Disney along with volunteers Karen Nighswonger, Mike Sukau, JoAnne Donmoyer, Janet Baumann, and Deborah Sherry. What’s the “Buzz” with the results of the Lake Tallac “New Buildable Lot” Vote?

Based on this Membership Vote, the Ballot to Sell the Lake Tallac “New Buildable Lot” has passed and the Board will move forward with “Option A” as presented in the July 15th, 2019 “The Best Use of the Lake Tallac Lagoon Property” Letter that was included in the Ballot Package.

OPTION A Sell the “New Buildable Lot” and Excess Coverage This would establish a new “Annual Assessment Paying” property.

The TKPOA Board of Directors has consulted with a local Real Estate Broker to determine a “sales price” for this lot estimated at $200,000$350,000. This would recover or defray the costs from the original property purchase through Revenue/Income generation. Currently the TKPOA Board of Directors and TKPOA Finance Committee have approved the 2019 Operating Budget with $200,000 in income to build Common Fund Cash Reserves from the sale of this “New Buildable Lot” option.

• Potential Financial Impact: Income Generation Forecasted at $200,000-$350,000.

In addition to selling this “New Buildable Lot” the TKPOA could sell the excess Residential Coverage (Soil Class 6) or SEZ Zone Coverage (Soil Class SEZ 1b) that is assigned to the Lake Tallac Lagoon property. There is 6,320 square feet of Residential Coverage and 1,284 square feet of SEZ Zone Coverage associated with this property.

This sale of coverage would recover or defray the costs from the original property purchase through Revenue/Income generation and would be an ongoing process with no actual deadline. Selling of the coverage could take a number of years.

• Potential Financial Impact: Income Generation Forecasted at $100,000-$250,000.

The total financial impact of Option A will be Revenue/Income generation that will be applied to future Annual Assessment calculations during the 2020 budgeting process. This Revenue/Income generation would help in maintaining Annual Assessment levels, and lower potential increases in the short term.

Based on the past two years of budget deficits due to unplanned legal expenses dealing with the Tahoe Keys Marina and Yacht Club (TKM&YC) these funds would be utilized to repay the Common reserve fund. As of March 31st, 2019 the Common Operating Fund owes the Common Reserve Fund $167,258. Currently, the TKPOA is attempting to recover these Legal Costs from the TKM&YC, but there is no assurance we will be able to do so in the short term.

Thank you to the Inspector of Elections and volunteers that participated in tabulating the ballots for this vote and to those members for casting their vote.

Governing Document

Update Project

By Kirk Wooldridge, General Manager

On Thursday September 19th, 2019 the Tahoe Keys Property Owners Association (TKPOA) Board of Directors held a Town Hall Meeting at the TKPOA Pavilion to discuss the proposed changes to the “Third Draft” of “The Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (“CC&Rs”) and BYLAWS. Matt Ober the TKPOA Legal Counsel was on hand to answer questions, review the proposed changes and explain the voting process. In 2018, TKPOA contracted with new legal counsel Richardson-Ober P.C., who is now responsible to complete this project and has developed an implementation plan for the required TKPOA Property Owner communication and membership voting.

At the past TKPOA Regular Board Meeting on Saturday June 15th, 2019 the TKPOA Board of Directors has authorized the TKPOA Staff to place the “Third Draft” of “The Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (“CC&Rs”) and BYLAWS” on the TKPOA website at www.tkpoa. com, for TKPOA Property Owners review. Along with this posting is the “Summary of Proposed Key Changes to the Bylaws and CC&R’s” to highlight those significant changes.

A Membership Vote is required 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. Members will be receiving the entire revised CC&Rs and BYLAWS as required by Davis Stirling Civil Code Section §5515 (e) in an election to approve an amendment of the governing documents, the text of the proposed amendment shall be delivered to the members with the ballot. Based on this requirement this Voting Ballot and mailing is a $15,000 cost to the TKPOA to conduct. The TKPOA is currently researching legally compliant methods to reduce this cost.

To Vote on Adoption of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs).

Keys Breeze

The owner of each Lot is entitled to cast one vote per Unit owned on this measure. A yes vote from sixty –six and two thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the eligible voting membership (a minimum of 1020) is required to approve the Amended and Restated CC&Rs. To Vote on Adoption of Amended and Restated BYLAWS. The owner of each Lot is entitled to cast one vote per Lot owned on this measure. A yes vote from a majority of a quorum of the eligible voting membership (quorum being 33 1/3% ) of the Members or a minimum of 510 Members) is required to approve the Amended and Restated BYLAWS. It’s very important to have copies of these “Governing Documents” because you are expected to know and comply with all rules and regulations of the TKPOA. You’ll also want to stay informed by reading all materials provided by the TKPOA through the monthly Keys Breeze, “Email Eblasts”, Association mailings, and Website information.

The 2019-2020 Board of Directors and TKPOA Staff will work toward moving this project and a membership vote forward in the next few months. Based on your feedback, and the timing of a membership vote the Board of Directors will approve the ballot and ballot materials for mailing to conduct a vote. It’s our responsibility to make these “Governing Documents”: the BYLAWS, CC&R’s, Articles of Incorporation, Architectural Control Rules and TKPOA Operating Rules as understandable as possible, so if there’s anything you don’t understand, please let us know. We’ll be glad to clarify any confusing language or give you other materials that will further answer your questions.

To submit questions to the Board of Directors about the “The Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (“CC&Rs”) and BYLAWS”, or for any additional information please contact Angela LaTella – TKPOA Administrative Assistant at 530-542-6444 extension 223 or ALaTella@tahoekeyspoa.org.
