MESSAGE FROM THE

GENERAL MANAGER Dear members, This May marks my first spring at Tahoe Donner, and I am looking forward to our natural spaces slowly changing from a bustling winter ski enterprise to a summer haven. Our outdoor natural spaces were a refuge during restrictive pandemic lockdowns last year, and I look forward to seeing them transition into a summer full of camps, programs and open amenities.

WINTER SKI SUCCESS April 11 marked the last day of the 2020/21 winter season, which was full of family fun and hard work by our staff to keep the Downhill Ski Resort and Cross Country Ski Center safe. The popularity of XC skiing was met with guidance and leadership from Manager Sally Jones along with her staff. The safety and excitement at Downhill Ski Resort would not have been possible without Manager Robert McClendon and his team. Robert was nationally recognized for a 2021 SAMMY Leadership Award this season, and we are grateful for his invaluable force in shaping Tahoe Donner’s ski industry towards progress and success. Read more about Robert’s recognition on page 22.

Despite COVID-19 restrictions, we were able to celebrate a season on the slopes and the trails without a single case of coronavirus spread. Thank you to everyone who participated in wearing a mask, physically distancing themselves from others and safely enjoying this unique winter season together. I’d also like to thank all Tahoe Donner staff whose efforts and dedication helped create a memorable winter season.

COMMITMENT TO SAFETY AND LAND MANAGEMENT The unique ecology drew many of us to Tahoe Donner, and staff have been looking at a centralized land management program

to address recreation, ecology and fire prevention as a well-coordinated effort to preserve this landscape. Staff already effectively uphold a standard-setting forest and fire management program as well as an abundant trail system; the goal with this program is to keep these open spaces and natural surroundings healthy and accessible with improved safety and efficiency. To learn more about land management, visit tahoedonner.com/land-management.

2022 WORKPLAN + BUDGET While it seems like we are only settling into 2021, the 2022 budget process begins this August. Staff are working on important 2022 goals to propose to the board. These goals advance the Tahoe Donner Five-Year Strategic Plan that in turn drive its budget. The budget will be strengthened by priorities and set to a sensible 2022 assessment. We are eager to learn how our budget goals can work to share costs while maintaining important services to the membership. To learn more about the Five-Year Strategic Plan, visit tahoedonner.com/strategic-plan.

REOPENING SUMMER AMENITIES We are all eager to hit the newly reopened Nature Loop Trail, relax at the Beach Club Marina with views of Donner Lake and experience the new menu and fresh take at Pizza on the Hill, which is opening for the season within the month. Learn more about amenity opening dates and restaurant hours in The Buzz, starting on page 6. As the snow continues to melt and our summer amenities begin to open, we ask that you treat our open spaces – especially the trail system – with respect and avoid muddy sections to keep our lands healthy for seasons of adventure to come.

Be well, DAVID MICKAELIAN | GENERAL MANAGER

SUMMER CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS + REMINDERS

By SHERYL WALKER, Architectural Standards Office Manager As the building season gets started this year, the Architectural Standards Office (ASO) would like to take this opportunity to remind our members and contractors of some of the requirements for building in Tahoe Donner.

CONSTRUCTION HOURS + WORKSITE REQUIREMENTS • The Town of Truckee Short-Term Rental and Noise Ordinance that came into effect January 1, 2021, is now more restrictive with construction noise than Tahoe Donner’s ASC Rules associated with construction hours. Please don’t start too early or work too late.

Town of Truckee Ordinance 2020-07 Construction. Noise sources associated with construction, repair, remodeling, or grading of any real property; provided a permit has been obtained from the Town as required; and provided said activities do not take place between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays, between the hours of 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. on Saturdays, or at any time on Sunday or a federal holiday.

If you have concerns about a construction site, please address them directly to the contractor or the owner. Most are more than happy to take care of any concerns quickly and simply. If your concern is not resolved with this approach, please report concerns like garbage, litter, loud radios and more to the Architectural Standards Office at either (530) 587-9407 or aso@tahoedonner.com.

TEMPORARY SNOW SHELTER REMOVAL Now that the weather is warming and any lingering snow is well and truly melting, please remove any remaining snow protection devices (plywood covering windows and entranceways, etc.). Before storing them, please take the time to put a coat of paint or stain on them to keep them looking consistent with the rest of your house.

EXTERIOR CHANGES

• Store materials neatly on your property.

As a reminder, if you are doing any exterior work on your home, please call or email ASO prior to commencement and provide a description of the proposed work. Oftentimes the work is “like-for-like” and a quick call can help update your file with these notes. If the work changes the exterior of your house and/or garage with material or color changes or if new landscaping will be constructed on your lot, please contact ASO to see if a permit is required from Tahoe Donner. Please remind your contractor that all new exterior work, including landscaping projects, requires permits from both Tahoe Donner and possibly the Town of Truckee.

• Make sure the required sanitary facilities are on site prior to construction and that your employees use them.

Additionally, if you have any questions please stop by ASO, call (530) 587-9407 or send an email to aso@tahoedonner.com.

• Do not park on other people’s property or block the street or access easement.

• Deliveries should be made only to the property under construction.

• Be considerate of neighbors and reduce loud noises as much as possible.

• Please play music at a reasonable level only, not loud enough to be heard over the noise of tools.

• Keep construction sites tidy and free of debris.

The snow tires are off the Jeep, and we’re ready to go exploring! Our first trip is to Brunswick Canyon in Carson City, over Sunrise Pass to a Como mine site and on to Dayton. Brunswick Canyon follows the Virginia and Truckee Railroad right of way and is much tamer than El Dorado Canyon located to the east. Como is claimed to be the site where Chief Truckee was buried, so it is definitely a historically significant area. There is a steep descent into the canyon and the roads are rough with rocks, but not boulders, so it is suitable for high-clearance 4WD vehicles.

The TD4Wheelers.org main member page has a link to all the 2021 planned trail runs, and upon review, you’ll see we are planning more frequent runs this year. Registration is required in advance from the website, and space is limited.

We look forward to seeing you!

MOUNTAIN BIKE CLUB The club is growing, and we are excited to see all the new member requests. We have a governing board and are getting closer to the logo being complete. We are watching the COVID-19 guidelines and planning summer events. The first group ride will be held June 5 from 12-4PM, and we will be meeting at the Alder Creek Adventure Center at 15275 Alder Creek Road.

THE BUZZ: CLUBS CONTINUED

JUNIOR GOLF CLUB

TD 9-HOLERS CLUB

QUILT CLUB

Welcome to Tahoe Donner Junior Golf Club. This year will see some changes due to COVID-19 restrictions, including a limit of 18 players per week and signups via the Pro Shop with a 2:30PM or 3PM arrival time.

The first half-hour will be spent on chipping, putting games and drills.

Then, kids of similar ages and abilities will spend time playing on the course.

As we look forward to spring and summer, our board has been busy developing our 2021 schedule. We cannot predict what the COVID-19 situation will be; however, we are moving forward and planning the events that we all enjoy. We will of course continue to follow the federal and local government guidelines for play.

The Tahoe Donner Quilt Club is once again making pillows for the Gene Upshaw Memorial Tahoe Forest Cancer Center. Although the club has not met since the pandemic started, these ladies, on their own, have made hundreds of masks for Tahoe Forest Hospital and the Tahoe Donner staff, helped the Days for Girls Truckee team and are now working on pillows for the Cancer Center.

This year, we will only play physically distant threesomes. The shamble format will remain the same, where each threesome play from the best position for fun prizes. We will be ferrying using the Golf Shop’s passenger cart.

Some will play from the blue tees or 200-yard or 150-yard markers. Pay special $10 TDJGC green fees at the Pro Shop. For more information, contact Russ Lai at rslai@comcast.net or (925) 283-3735 before June 1 or (530) 582-0673 after June 1. We look forward to picking up where we left off!

Our club activities will begin on May 20 with a virtual orientation for ladies who were new this year and last year.

We plan on our regular Thursday morning tee times at Tahoe Donner, and we are pleased to announce that we will have Tuesday afternoon tee times, too! Back by popular demand, we will be working with Old Brockway for golf days before and after Tahoe Donner’s golf course opens.

In just a few weeks these ladies have put together 145 pillows – well done, ladies! For information about the Tahoe Donner Quilt Club, contact Marilyn Dundas at md11792@outlook.com.

If you have questions about our club or would like more information, contact Club President Judi Roberts at judi@greenroberts.com.

WOMEN’S GOLF CLUB MEN’S GOLF CLUB Spring has sprung, and we are excited to begin our season with two great events!

SEASON WELCOME GATHERING Sunday, May 30 | 4PM This informal social get-together with drinks and snacks is designed to reconnect club members after the long winter to celebrate the new golf season. Come see old friends and meet new members. Social only; no golf. Open to all members of the Tahoe Donner Women’s and Men’s Golf Clubs.

The Women’s Golf Club plans to resume our Tuesday play days on June 1 or as soon as the course opens for the season, but we have specifically set aside June 15 to welcome our many new members to our club. Each new member will have a “big sister” assigned to be their “go-to” resource for the season.

In addition to playing together on June 15, the big sister will be there throughout

SENIOR ALPINE SKI CLUB bike rides, hikes, kayaks and paddleboard adventures; we will be planning a similar summer of fun and hopefully including outdoor get-togethers.

THE ICE BREAKER Sunday, June 13 | 12PM with a shotgun start Our annual season kickoff tournament and mixer is always a well-attended favorite. Shamble format with teams assigned by the Pro Shop. Food, drink and slightly exaggerated golf stories immediately following play. Open to all TDMGC members.

If you need more information or are interested in joining our more than 170 club members (including 35+ new members!), please visit our website at tdgolfclub.com for details.

the season to offer information and answer questions about our club traditions as needed. As this goes to press, we are looking for a date to introduce our new members to their big sisters and our board members before June 15.

It’s not too late to join the Women’s Golf Club for the 2021 season; for more information, email tdwgclub@gmail.com.

Mother Nature couldn’t decide whether it was winter or spring in March. Despite a difficult pandemic year and lack of normal snowpack, our members enjoyed dozens of fun club ski days at local and distant resorts. Four skiers also heliskied untracked powder in the Ruby Mountains near Elko, Nevada.

Our board will be holding an election for new board members as well as summer event plans. Last summer, we were able to participate in safe, social-distanced

Please visit our website at tdski.com for more information. New skiing and social membership signup are available for the 2021-2022 season. Summer activities are a good way to meet new people to enjoy all the Tahoe seasons. We are always welcoming enthusiastic new members who enjoy skiing, boarding and regional year-round outdoor adventures.

Dear members, Last year was a time no one will soon forget. It was a trying time that forced the Tahoe Donner team to make tough decisions, exercise creativity, remain resilient and adapt to whatever restrictions, guidelines, hurdles and opportunities came at us. Despite these challenges and scary times, our community banded together and our collective passion for nature and the outdoors allowed our neighborhood to expand and see our Tahoe Donner neighbors more regularly.

In March of 2020, the association was forced to shut its doors to the downhill and cross country ski areas due to the State of California Stay at Home Order. This halted important revenue streams that the ski areas usually provide to the association, not to mention how it impacted the member experience. COVID-19 caused the gym, pools, saunas and restaurants to close as well as our summer operations and capacities to be limited. All this left an impact on the financials of the association, as 60% of revenue comes from user fees (the other 40% comes from Annual Assessments).

During these challenging times, the Tahoe Donner Board of Directors acted swiftly to protect the association by making hard decisions to reduce expenses through strategic furloughs and reviews of association improvements. Although revenue continued to be below budget for the remainder of the year, diligent cost-savings measures by staff kept pace to make up for the revenue losses and allowed the association to finish the year slightly ahead of the 2020 budget.

Tahoe Donner stands at a strong financial position today, posting a net operating surplus of $696,534 after Assessment Revenue, continued capital investment in the association of over $5 million and a 6% increase in Member Equity over 2019. We must continue to reinvest in the association’s aging infrastructure. Once we get through COVID-19 impacts, we will reassess the Operating Fund contingency and possibly transfer a portion of the 2020 operating surplus into our capital improvement needs as we have done in the past.

We are well into the 2021 budget year. Visitation and revenue quickly gained momentum thanks to the community’s keen interest in outdoor recreation as well as the relaxing of COVID-19 restrictions. Having recorded a net operating loss in January, strong visitation in February and March along with operating-expense savings resulted in a positive net operating result of $763,000 for the first quarter. Staff are diligently watching costs as we ramp up to summer and safely operate with greater capacity so more members are able to enjoy our amenities.

We thank the membership for your understanding of how 2020 may have impacted you directly and for sharing the burden of these mandated closures and capacity restrictions.

We look forward to seeing you back at our amenities this year, and we hope you are able to enjoy your home and all the benefits this community provides in 2021.

Sincerely,

GEOFF CHIN

Stephen Mahoney Treasurer, Board of Directors

• Revenues up favorable $318,422 or 8% to Budget

Great ski conditions with stable weather offering many bluebird days on a good snowpack. Visitation at the Downhill Ski Resort was 7% up on Budget while the Cross Country Ski Center was 99% up on Budget.

• Total Operating Expenses (COGS, Payroll and Other Operating Expenses) favorable $25,764 or 1% to Budget

MARCH-OCTOBER / COVID-19 SHUTDOWN

• Revenues were $4,169,065 or 52% below Budget

Revenues were severely impacted by COVID-19 restrictions including stayat-home orders, no indoor dining—or, for a period, no dining whatsoever— and closure of recreation facilities. Considerable expenses were saved within Payroll and Operating Expenses due to reduced staffing requirements and overall reduced activity.

• Total Operating Expenses (COGS, Payroll and Other Operating Expenses) were favorable to Budget by $4,549,836 or 34%

NOVEMBER-DECEMBER / COVID-19 IN WINTER

• Revenues were below Budget by $906,727

With COVID-19 on the rise in November, greater restrictions were reimplemented, impacting Day Tickets at Downhill and Trail Passes at Cross Country, Lessons and Rentals at both facilities along with F+B at all outlets.

• Total Operating Expenses (COGS, Payroll and Other Operating Expenses) were favorable to Budget by $878,560

• Net Operating Result favorable $344,186 or 104% to Budget

• Net Operating Result favorable $380,771 to Budget or 7%

• Net Operating Result was below Budget by $28,423

With only 20 inches of snow at Snowplay during December, snowmaking allowed us to be open for the holiday period—albeit at reduced capacity— missing budgeted revenue by only 10%. Downhill, however, was well below Budget by 58% in December, while Cross Country revenue was better than Budget by 44% due to strong pass sales.

The Association employs a high percentage of entry-level seasonal customer service, positions to operate the various amenities of the Association.

Due to COVID-19, this number was significantly less than previous years, as can be seen based on the number of W-2s issued in 2020.

(1) California Minimum Wage; increased to $12.00 per hour in 2019 and $13.00 per hour in 2020.

(2) The Federal Affordable Care Act of 2010, which impacted the Association starting in 2016, created a federally regulated determination of those employees categorized as 'Full Time' and mandated to be offered health insurance. Prior to this Act, the association had discretion as to which employees were offered health insurance and categorized full time and which were classified as seasonal employees.

(3) Full-Time Equivalents (FTE) as calculated based on a standard of 2,080 work hours per year.

KEY NOTES Capital Funds Portion of Annual Assessment

Operating Fund Portion of Annual Assessment

• The Replacement Reserve Fund portion has been deliberately increased over time to improve the reserve funding level of our 50-year-old Association.

Underfunding reserves is considered the bane of many Associations across the country.

• The Operating Fund portion increased in 2015 and 2016 due to the combined pressures of winter droughts impacting operating revenue and payroll cost increases due to California minimum wage increases and the Federal Affordable Care Act impacts.

We adopted a reserves funding policy and recent Boards have adhered to this policy. The Association’s reserves are now in a much stronger financial position to handle the replacement and major maintenance needs of the Association’s assets.

• For 2017-2019, the Operating Fund portion was decreased due to favorable revenue trends, our snowmaking investment and price increases as well as a favorable decrease in workers’ compensation costs, all favorably offsetting California minimum wage increases.

• The Development Fund portion was held at $250 for six years (2011-2016) and we are now increasing to recognize the known future funding requirements.

This funding is for eventual building replacements such as the Downhill Ski Lodge, due to functional obsolescence, and for new facilities or other new major projects due to the changing needs of membership.

More Capital Funds historical information on pages 10-11

• For 2020, the Operating Fund portion was increased by $30 per owner to offset minimum wage increases and other operating costs.

• For 2021, the Operating Fund portion was increased by $86 per owner to offset minimum wage increases and a 23% increase in liability insurance; there was no Assessment increase to the New Machinery + Equipment Fund.

The variance between Actual and Budget capital expenditures is primarily driven by the timing of projects between years and deferral due to COVID-19.

The Board has a fiduciary responsibility (by law) to do what is best for the Association both now and for the future.

Current owners have the responsibility to pay for the depreciation of Association assets, not defer the burden to future owners. Properly maintaining our assets protects owners’ property values.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TAHOE DONNER ASSOCIATION REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Tahoe Donner Association, which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, and the related statements of revenue and expenses – all funds, changes in fund balances and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

MANAGEMENT’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

AUDITORS’ RESPONSIBILITY Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal controls relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal controls. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

OPINION In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tahoe Donner Association as of December 31, 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

| TAHOE DONNER 2020 ANNUAL REPORT

DISCLAIMER OF OPINION ON REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the information on future major repairs and replacements on page 27 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by generally accepted accounting principles, which considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.

OTHER INFORMATION The information included on pages 24-26 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the audit procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

COMPARATIVE INFORMATION Information for the year ended December 31, 2019 is presented for comparative purposes only and was extracted from the financial statements presented for that year, on which we expressed an unmodified opinion in our report dated April 3, 2020.

As described in Note 2, the Association changed the composition of its financial statements and allocations of certain departmental expenses in 2020, and the 2019 financial statements have been restated to conform to the composition and allocations utilized in 2020.

The Association operates and maintains facilities, which include a golf course and pro shop, restaurant, downhill ski area, clubhouse, Nordic ski area, beach and marina area, equestrian center, campground, tennis facilities, recreation complex, pools and parks.

Revenues are derived from member and non-member usage of these facilities.

The Association’s Board of Directors is comprised of five members elected to serve three-year terms by a vote of the members. The Board of Directors governs in accordance with the Association’s bylaws and declaration of covenants and restrictions. The Board of Directors establishes members’ dues and user fees, and has the ability to enter into long-term contracts. Along with other actions, closing an Association amenity (as defined by the governing documents) requires a vote of the members.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION – The Association’s governing documents provide certain guidelines for governing its financial activities. To ensure observance of limitations and restrictions on the use of financial resources, the Association maintains its accounts using fund accounting. Financial resources are classified for accounting and reporting purposes in the following funds established according to their nature and purpose: OPERATING FUND – Used to account for financial resources available for the general operations of the Association.

ASSESSMENT REVENUE – Association members are subject to annual assessments to provide funds for the Association’s operating expenses, major repairs and replacements, development and purchase of new equipment. Accounts receivable at the balance sheet date primarily represents amounts due from unit owners.

The Association’s collection policy includes, among other things, assessing a late charge and interest, filing a lien, and assessing a lien fee on payments not received within the allowable time periods.

In certain instances, foreclosure may be necessary. An allowance for doubtful accounts is created when and account’s collectability is uncertain. Accounts are written off when the Association’s management determines that an account is uncollectible due to an event such as bankruptcy or foreclosure proceedings.

REVENUE RECOGNITION – The Association’s accounting policies with regards to revenue from contracts with customers are discussion in Note 3, Revenues.

CASH consists of cash on hand, demand deposits at banks and money market funds.

The Association minimizes credit risk associated with cash by periodically evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance at times may exceed federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2020, and 2019, cash balances exceeded federally insured limits by approximately $5,137,000 and $864,000, respectively. The Association has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes the Association is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to cash.

INVESTMENTS consist of debt securities and certificates of deposits, which are carried at amortized cost as the Association has the positive intent and ability to hold all debt securities and certificates of deposit until maturity.

INVENTORIES consist of food, beverage and retail goods and are stated at the lower of average cost or market.

REPLACEMENT RESERVE FUND – Used to account for financial resources designated for the repair, restoration, replacement or maintenance of, or litigation involving repair, restoration, replacement or maintenance of, major components which the Association is obligated to repair, restore, replace or maintain and for which the replacement reserve fund was established.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT of the Association includes certain facilities and land contributed by Dart in prior years. These assets are reflected in the accounts at the developers’ cost basis. Purchases are stated at cost. The Association capitalizes all expenditures for property and equipment in excess of $2,000. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of individual assets ranging from 3 to 60 years. These assets are recorded directly in the property fund.

NEW EQUIPMENT FUND – Used to account for financial resources designated for the purchase of new machinery, equipment, furnishings and fixtures.

Approximately 3,000 acres of undeveloped non-common area real property owned by the Association is controlled by the Association’s declaration of covenants and restrictions, and bylaws.

DEVELOPMENT FUND – Used to account for financial resources designated for use in the acquisition and enhancement of facilities, equipment and other resources.

INTEREST INCOME and the related income tax expense is allocated to the operating, replacement and reserve, new machinery and equipment and development funds in proportion to the interest-bearing assets of each fund.

PROPERTY FUND – Used to account for the Association’s investment in its common property and equipment, and other Association real property.

| TAHOE DONNER 2020 ANNUAL REPORT

ASSESSMENTS PAID IN ADVANCE AND DEFERRED REVENUE primarily represents funds received for assessments, amenity and

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS newsletter fees received in the current fiscal year, which apply to the subsequent fiscal year.

DEPOSITS FROM MEMBERS held by the Association are primarily security deposits from members for the construction of residential real property. The deposits are used to ensure that construction is completed in accordance with the guidelines established by the Association’s Architectural Standards Committee. The funds are deposited in a separate trust account and are refundable upon satisfactory completion of construction.

ADVERTISING COSTS are expensed as incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 advertising costs total $50,594 and $73,449, respectively.

INCOME TAXES – For California purposes, the Association is taxed as membership organization. As such, the Association is generally taxed only on non-member income, such as investment earnings, advertising revenue and gains on sales of assets at regular state corporate tax rates. For federal purposes, the Association has tax-exempt status as a non-profit organization under Internal Revenue Code 501(c)(4). Unrelated business income earned by the Association, such as advertising revenue, is taxed net of related expenses at regular federal corporate tax rates.

The Association has applied the accounting principles related to the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes and has determined there is no material impact on the financial statements. With some exceptions, the Association is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2016.

CARRYING AMOUNTS of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalent, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

USE OF ESTIMATES – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.

Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATIONS – Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2019 financial statements to conform to the classifications used in 2020. The reclassifications had no impact on the financial position or results of operations for 2019.

RESTATEMENT – In 2020, the Association changed the composition of its financial statements to eliminate allocations of certain departmental expenses (overhead) to the other departments they both directly and indirectly serve. Management concluded that the financial statements provided more reliable and relevant information without the allocations. The 2019 financial statements as presented for comparative purposes only have been restated to conform to the composition and allocations utilized in 2020. The restatements had no impact on the total financial position or results of operations for 2019.

REVENUE RECOGNITION – The Association adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“Topic 606” in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC)). Topic 606 superseded the revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC 972-605, Real Estate— Common Interest Realty Associations, Revenue Recognition. Under Topic 606, the Association must identify a contract with a customer, among other things, and recognize revenue as the Association satisfies a performance obligation.

As described above, Association members are subject to annual assessments that provide funds for the Association’s operating expenses and major repairs and replacements. Association management has considered Topic 606 and concluded that Association members are not customers as defined in the ASC. As such, all assessment revenue, including amounts allocated to the replacement fund, is recognized in the period in which it is assessed, regardless of when it is collected or expended.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT – In 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 825, Financial Instruments. The Association adopted the provisions of this new standard during the year ended December 31, 2020. The adoption had no impact on the balance sheets or statements of revenue and expenses and changes in fund balance. The adoption removed the requirement to disclose fair value on held-to-maturity debt securities. As a result of the new accounting pronouncement, Note 4 to the financial statements was amended in 2020 and 2019 and no longer includes information on fair value.

COVID-19 – The COVID-19 outbreak in the United States has caused varying degrees of disruption across substantially all businesses.

It is at least possible that the Association may experience adverse effects from the outbreak, including the inability to achieve consistent operational service levels historically available to members. As a result of the pandemic, the Association temporarily closed its amenities, causing a reduction in revenues and related expenses in the last three quarters of 2020. Benefits were maintained for furloughed employees in all departments. Issues may arise from disruptions in normal supply chains, slower collection of member assessments, reduction in user fees, or other factors.

The Association has considered the impact of COVID-19 on the assumptions and estimates used when preparing these financial statements including the potential impairment of long-lived assets, inventory valuation and future compliance with debt covenants, noting no adjustments to be reflected in the accompanying financial statements at this time. If the economic conditions caused

by COVID- 19 worsen beyond what is currently estimated by management, such future changes may have an adverse impact on the Association’s result of operations, financial position, and liquidity, therefore no provisions have been reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

REVENUE RECOGNITION The following provides information about the Association’s composition of revenue recognized from contracts with customers, the performance obligations under those contracts, and the significant judgments made in accounting for those contracts: Downhill ski, Cross Country and Golf revenue is derived from a wide variety of sources, including, among other things: lift, trail and course access revenue, which includes sales of lift tickets, trail access, golf course access and pass products; ski school and lesson revenue, which includes the revenue derived from ski school and lesson operations; food and beverage sales; retail sales and equipment rental revenue. Revenue is recognized over time as performance obligations are satisfied as control of the goods or services (e.g. access to ski areas, trails and golf course, provision of ski school and lesson services, etc.) is transferred to the customer, except for the retail sales, rentals and food and beverage operations revenue which are recognized at a point in time when performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the underlying goods to the customer. The Association records deferred revenue primarily related to the sales of the pass products. Deferred revenue is recognized throughout the ski and golf seasons as the Association’s performance obligations are satisfied as control of the service (e.g. access to the ski areas throughout the ski season) is transferred to the customer. The transfer of control is based on the number of days that have passed in the season relative to total expected season days. Total expected season days are based on historical data, and the Association believes this estimate provide a faithful depiction of its customers pass product usage.

The Association’s private amenities (Trout Creek recreation center and aquatics, Snowplay, Marina and Tennis) are accessible via an annual recreation pass or daily access fees. Revenue is derived from recreation pass usage, daily access fees, lessons, classes and trainings, retail sales, equipment rentals and food and beverage sales. Revenue is recognized over time as performance obligations are satisfied as control of the goods or services (e.g. access amenities, provision of lessons, classes and training services, etc.) is transferred to the customer, except for the retail sales, rentals and food and beverage operations revenue which are recognized at a point in time when performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the underlying goods to the customer. The Association records deferred revenue primarily related to the sales of the recreation pass.

Deferred revenue is recognized throughout recreation pass period as the Association’s performance obligations are satisfied as control of the service (e.g. access to amenities throughout the pass period) is transferred to the customer. The transfer of control is based on an estimated number of pass holder visits relative to total expected visits. The total expected visits are estimated based on historical data, and the Association believes this estimate provides a faithful depiction of its customers’ pass product usage.

Food and beverage revenue (The Lodge and Summer F&B, Alder Creek Cafe and Pizza on the Hill) is derived from restaurants and

20

| TAHOE DONNER 2020 ANNUAL REPORT

cafes, room rentals and banquets. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when performance obligations are satisfied by transferring controls of the underlying goods to the customer.

Communications revenue is derived primarily from newsletter ad sales. Revenue is recognized over time as performance obligations are satisfied as control of the good (e.g. inclusion of ad in the monthly newsletter) is transferred to the customer. Deferred revenue relates sales of newsletter ad space for multiple monthly publications in advance.

Other revenue sources not previously mentioned provide revenue from a variety of means including other amenity access fees, lessons and camps, retail sales, equipment rentals, special events and concerts and food and beverage sales, architectural fees and forestry grants revenues. Revenue is recognized over time as performance obligations are satisfied as control of the (e.g. completions of lessons or camps) is transferred to the customer, except for retail sales, equipment rentals and food and beverage sales which are recognized at a point in time when performance obligations are satisfied by transferring control of the underlying goods to the customer.

ARRANGEMENTS WITH MULTIPLE PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS Some of the Association’s contracts with customers include multiple performance obligations, primarily related to bundled services such as multiple events, camps, class and lesson packages. For such contracts, revenue is allocated to each distinct and separate performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. The standalone selling prices are generally based on observable prices charged to customers or estimated based on historical experience and information.

CONTRACT BALANCES Contract liabilities are recorded primarily as deferred revenues when payments are received or due in advance of the Association’s performance, including amounts which may be refundable. The deferred revenue balance is primarily related to accounts receivable or cash payments recorded in advance of satisfying the Association’s performance obligations related to advance purchase products consisting primarily of recreation passes, ski and golf passes, amenity related lessons and programs. Deferred revenue balances related to contracts was approximately $2,071,000 and $1,783,000 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Association recognized approximately $1,592,000 and $1,315,000 of contract revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance as of the previous fiscal year, respectively.

Contract assets are recorded as trade receivables when the right to consideration is unconditional. Trade receivable balances were approximately $1,900 and $53,000 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Payments from customers are based on billing terms established in the contracts with customers, which vary by the type of customer, the location and the products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant. For certain products or services and customer types,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS contracts require payment before the products are delivered or services are provided to the customer. Impairment losses related to contract assets are recognized through the Association’s allowance for doubtful accounts analysis. Contract asset write-offs are evaluated on an individual basis.

COSTS TO OBTAIN CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS The Association expects that credit card fees paid in order to obtain season pass products contracts are recoverable. Accordingly, the Association recognizes these amounts as assets when they are paid prior to the start of the pass season. As of December 31, 2020,

4

and 2019, $6,502 and $11,283 of costs to obtain contracts with customers were recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets, respectively.

Utilizing the practical expedient provided for under Topic 606, the Association has elected to expense credit card fees related to non pass products and services as incurred, as the amortization period is generally one year or less for the time between customer purchase and utilization. These fees are recorded within departmental expenses on the Association’s Statement of Revenue and Expenses and Changes in Fund Balances.

CASH AND INVESTMENTS

At December 31, the Association’s cash and investments consisted of undesignated, designated and restricted accounts as follows:

Designated funds in the development fund are controlled by board-adopted policy that affords the board discretion in expenditure, except where member approval is required in connection with the intended project.

Association investments consist of certificates of deposit, municipal and corporate securities, and governmental securities, and amounted to $23,524,039 and $26,323,397 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Varying types and levels of safety protection cover the various Association investments, including FDIC insurance, SIPC insurance, privately funded bank insurance, and the backing of the US Treasury and its agencies.

Municipal and corporate securities, governmental securities and certificates of deposit are carried at amortized cost as they are classified as held to maturity investments since the Association has the positive intent and ability to hold all securities until maturity.

REPLACEMENT RESERVE FUND

The Association’s policy is to maintain replacement funding levels sufficient to pay for capital replacements, refurbishments and repairs. Fund for replacement of common area property and equipment is accounted for through a replacement reserve fund.

The funds are designated for major repairs and replacement. When major repairs or replacement occur, the expenditures are charged against the fund balance or, if certain conditions are met, a transfer is made for property and equipment to the property fund and the expenditures are capitalized.

Replacement funding levels, as determined by a study updated in 2020, are forecast on a 30-year basis with annual updates to replacement schedules, as they become known. The percent funded level is to exceed 25% and the replacement reserve fund balance is to equal or exceed 10% of net replacement reserve assets (total property and equipment less land and land improvements). The annual assessment allocation to the replacement reserve fund is determined by the Board of Directors with input from management.

Actual expenditures, however, may vary from the estimated amounts and the variations may be material. If additional funds are needed, the Association has the right, subject to any necessary member approval, to increase regular dues, to levy special assessments, or modify and adjust the scheduled major repairs and replacements as necessary.

RETIREMENT PLANS

The Association maintains a salary savings plan for all eligible employees. The Association matches 50% of the first 6% of the participant’s contribution. Matching contributions are 20% vested after the third year of service and vest at the rate of 20% per year thereafter. Matching contributions expense was $70,108 and $105,493 for December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Association maintains two defined contribution plans which qualify under Section 457(b) and Section 457(f) of the Internal Revenue Code, respectively (the 457 Plans). The 457 Plans allow for additional Association contributions and salary deferrals subject to limitations for eligible executive employees. Contributions to the 457 Plans funds are considered deferred compensation until certain future date conditions are met. The Association’s contribution to the 457 Plans was $-0- and $57,009 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

| TAHOE DONNER 2020 ANNUAL REPORT

REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION ON FUTURE MAJOR REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2020 (UNAUDITED)

It is the policy of the Association to fund a reserve program that will adequately provide for repair and replacement of existing Associationowned assets. A 30-year reserve funding and expenditure plan is produced every three years, and updated annually, to schedule and analyze the funding needs. The Association updated a study in 2020 to estimate the remaining useful lives, the lives after replacement, and the replacement costs of the components of common property. The estimates were based on estimates from management, contractors and historical costs. Estimated current replacement costs have been adjusted to reflect a 3% inflation factor, 2% interest rate, and an 8% tax provision on investment income.

The Association does not designate the balance of the replacement fund by component. The total available for major repairs and replacements as of December 31, 2020 is $13,128,074. The 2021 budget includes $5,184,873 of dues allocated to the replacement fund.

The Association has not included the replacement of building structures as a component of the replacement study. These structures generally have an original useful life greater than 30 years. The Association is accumulating funds in the Development fund for specific building structure replacements, and not currently accumulating funds over time for all building structure replacements.

The following table is based on the study and presents significant information about the components of common property.

THE REPORT

GREEN WASTE Warm weather is just around the corner, and so is yard cleanup and defensible space work. Creating defensible space is everyone’s responsibility to keep our community safe from wildfires. Get a leg up by planning your cleanup activities now.

WASTE + RECYCLING SERVICE

In Tahoe Donner, trash and recycling pick-up day is Tuesday. Blue recycling bags will be picked up every week. Place blue bags next to your garbage can to avoid any overage costs. All cardboard must be placed inside the blue bag. Blue carts are serviced every other week in alternating weeks with green carts. To order a blue cart, call Tahoe Truckee Sierra Disposal (TTSD) at (530) 583-7800.

GREEN CART SERVICE

In Tahoe Donner, green yard waste carts will be picked up every other Tuesday from May 4 through November 16.

TIPS ON USING YOUR GREEN WASTE CART No plastic bags necessary. Place yard waste – pine needles, grass clippings, pinecones, branches and shrub materials – directly in the cart.

On your collection day, place your cart curbside by 6AM with the wheels facing away from the street. The cart must be three feet away from other objects.

Lids must be closed flush. Overfilled carts will not be serviced.

NEVADA COUNTY GREEN WASTE DROP-OFF DAYS

The Town of Truckee has teamed up with Nevada County for green waste drop-off days, which will be located at the Rodeo Grounds from 8AM-2PM. This is a self-service program for residential yard waste. Please do not throw dirt, rocks or bags as waste. Please have patience, and be prepared to wait in line, as drop-offs may take longer than usual due to physical distancing.

DATES: MAY 14, JUNE 4 + JUNE 25 NOTE: Tahoe Donner has changed its member offering of additional green waste disposal this year. There will not be a green waste dumpster available at Northwoods Clubhouse. Instead, Tahoe Donner will offer one to two special green waste drop-off days like the above County/Town offering later in the summer. This event will be scheduled for a weekend day and staffed to ensure member-use only. This change comes after consideration of the offering, availability of disposal utilizing Town resources and use of the resource by those other than members.

GREEN WASTE CART SERVICE Opt in to receive up to three 96-gallon green yard waste carts.

Green cart service is every other week. Order yours by calling (530) 583-7800. Residents will be charged a delivery fee for drop-off OR they may pick up the cart from Town facilities for free with advanced order.

COVENANTS REQUIREMENT: Rolling carts are to be stored out of sight, either in a garage or underneath a side or rear deck if the property does not have a garage.

GREEN WASTE DUMPSTER SERVICES Six-yard green waste dumpsters are available by reservation for a reduced one-week rental. Call TTSD to order at (530) 583-7800.

Dumpster rentals do sell out, so book in advance.

DUMPSTER REBATE: Truckee Fire Protection District is providing a rebate for green waste dumpster rentals. Visit truckeefire.org/defensible-space for more details. One rebate per household while program funds last.

SELF/CONTRACTOR HAUL Drop off up to six yards of yard waste at Eastern Regional Landfill (ERL) for free from May–October. You will receive an address-specific punch card to track yards dropped off. Proof of residency required to qualify, such as an ID or trash bill.

Punch cards are transferable! Contractors can also drop off yard waste at ERL for free by using the resident’s punch card.

(The resident must be present to be issued the card with proof of residency.)

TRACK YOUR GARBAGE BILLS WITH EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS

Residents can receive an email notification within a few days of service charges being placed onto their trash account.

Be alerted of extra charges before you receive your trash bill at the end of the quarter! Learn how to opt in through your online customer portal at waste101.com.

HOW TO MAKE A COVENANTS COMPLAINT 1

Call (530) 414-8166. Phone is staffed from 8AM-5PM Monday-Friday, 9:30AM-6PM on Saturday and Sunday, with a daily after-hours answering service from 5PM-8AM (9:30AM on weekends).

THE REPORT

2021 DEFENSIBLE SPACE INSPECTIONS YOUR PROPERTY’S FRONTLINE DEFENSE AGAINST WILDFIRE Tahoe Donner Forestry Department staff would like to congratulate and thank you for your efforts in creating a fire-safe community. Tahoe Donner has been recognized as a Firewise USA® community again for 2021.

REQUEST A REINSPECTION

Creating and maintaining defensible space around your home can dramatically increase your home’s chance of surviving a wildfire. It will also improve the safety of firefighters defending your property.

RULES AND GUIDELINES

2021 DEFENSIBLE SPACE ZONE

During the fall of 2020, defensible space inspections took place within all of Unit 8 lots 1-608 and Unit 2 lots 1-391.

Properties that were found to be noncompliant will be reinspected beginning June 2021. Areas subject to reinspection to complete compliance verification include properties located on Northwoods Boulevard, Zurich Place, Hidden Circle, Hansel Avenue, St. Bernard Drive, Chamonix Road, Falcon Point Place, Lausanne Way, Bennett Flat Road, Mougle Lane, K T Court, Tundra Drive, Bavarian Way, Kitzbuhel Road, Sitzmark Way, Munich Drive, Nordic Lane and Schussing Way.

HOW YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED OF INSPECTIONS • Inspection notifications will be sent electronically instead of physically via USPS.

• Members whose properties will be subject to this year’s defensible space inspection zone have been provided with a reminder email showing an outline of the inspection process.

• This electronic notification will serve as a 45-day notice to inspect.

To request a reinspection, complete the online request form at tahoedonner.com/defensible-space.

Tahoe Donner residents should familiarize themselves with the complete rules and guidelines for defensible space inspection standards for both developed and undeveloped lots.

Detailed guidelines can be found at tahoedonner.com/defensible-space.

KEY GUIDELINES DEVELOPED LOTS 10 ft.

Areas of continuous brush must be broken up. No brush may be underneath the dripline of trees. Flames can reach three times the height of brush or more.

Cut brush back so that it stays low to the ground.

This highlights a few items to be considered for defensible space.

Please VIEW FULL GUIDELINES AT TAHOEDONNER.COM/DEFENSIBLE-SPACE.

No branches within 10 feet of chimney, roof and eaves.

30 ft.

Firewood, lumber or any flammable material should be stacked 30 feet from the structure; make sure it is stacked on your property. Old, unused or decomposed firewood must be removed. Firewood rounds cannot be left on the property; wood must be split and stacked neatly.

DEVELOPED AND UNDEVELOPED LOTS

• Members will also receive a reminder email notification at least 45 days before their inspection date.

under 10 inches in diameter that are growing without proper spacing from one another or growing under the canopy of larger trees.

Excessively dense tree cover must be thinned, which generally applies to trees

Covenants and restrictions require that each lot be maintained annually to not create a fire hazard. Failure to comply may result in a hearing and possible fine from the Covenants Committee. Covenants Rules can be found under “Homeowner Guidelines” at tahoedonner.com/members.

If you have questions about the defensible space program, please visit tahoedonner.com/defensible-space or email defensiblespace@tahoedonner.com.

INSPECTION AUTHORITY

Tahoe Donner Forestry Department inspectors will walk through your property in order to complete defensible space inspections.

Authority for these inspections comes from the State of California Public Resources Code 4291, Truckee Fire Protection District Ordinance 94-1 and Tahoe Donner Association C&Rs Article VIII, Section 1 (a) iii and iv.

THE REPORT

BRIEFS NEW CUSTOMER + MEMBER SERVICES MANAGER Tahoe Donner is excited to welcome Kevin Obersheimer as the new customer and member services manager. Kevin holds over 16 years in customer service luxury hospitality and high-end property amenity management.

downhill ski lodge. Uses could include additional amenities like a beginner mountain bike park, expanded hub for trail access, adventure park and event site as well as continued day camp use. The impact of these uses in regard to capital costs, operating costs and revenue potential is being analyzed.

The final business plan from PROS Consulting will show the results of this work.

Bull Stockwell Allen (BSA), selected as the architectural design team to plan and design the proposed lodge from conceptual design to final construction plan, has gone through several conceptual design iterations with management and the task force.

A member workshop took place on April 29, where members discussed the business plan and conceptual design.

The presentations and outcome of the workshop are available online at tahoedonner.com/lodge-replacement-project.

After serving as the director of rooms for PlumpJack Squaw Valley Inn for six years and living in the Tahoe Basin for 14, he and his wife recently spent two years in San Diego. There, Kevin worked as a hotel general manager and director of operations.

As John Muir once said, though, “the mountains are calling, and I must go,” and he and his wife have returned to the Tahoe area. He is excited to share his knowledge of five-star customer service and teambuilding practices along with financial expertise with the Tahoe Donner team.

In his spare time, you can find Kevin in the mountains skiing, golfing, bodyboarding, traveling, reading, eating and making a mean breakfast. Welcome to the team, Kevin!

DOWNHILL SKI LODGE UPDATE PROS Consulting, our third-party consultant, is in the process of finalizing their pro forma and business plan that will reflect what fourseason use would be viable for the future

EXCITING SUMMER OPPORTUNITIES AT TAHOE DONNER! Summer is coming, so make sure you spend it at one of the most scenic places in Tahoe!

Take advantage of fun and exciting open positions with perks like easy access to trails, food and beverage discounts and more.

Openings include: • Trout Creek Recreation Center Host • Cook • Greenskeeper • Beach Attendant • Camp Leader To learn more about perks and positions, visit tahoedonner.com/jobs.

USE DIRT TRAILS, NOT MUDDY TRAILS We know you’re itching to get outside and enjoy the spring conditions. Because we want you to have great trails all spring and summer, PLEASE stay off them if they’re muddy. Using muddy trails, whether by foot,

horse or bicycle, causes major damage to the trail and the surrounding environment.

As the snow melts, consider these options: • Use trails early in the day when they’re still frozen.

• South-facing slopes and paved trails offer the best springtime conditions.

• Check out mountain biking in Reno or Auburn with dry tread and blooming flowers.

• If you approach mud, please walk or ride through it or look for rocks or snow to step on to avoid widening the trail.

• When possible, avoid muddy trails altogether until they’re dry!

THE REPORT

IMPROVEMENTS ALONG EAST DONNER PASS ROAD

By THE TOWN OF TRUCKEE

The Town of Truckee has been working with Tahoe Donner Association and California State Parks since 2018 to evaluate options to modify the existing on-street parking configuration on Donner Pass Road adjacent to Donner Memorial State Park and the Tahoe Donner Beach Club properties; this collaboration is an effort to reduce user conflicts between vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians and to reduce environmental degradation.

An existing conditions analysis, including a parking user survey, was prepared in 2018, and the Town has solicited input from a stakeholder working group to develop an improvement recommendation. Below is a summary of key stakeholder input:

The Town of Truckee has installed boulders along Donner Pass Road between the Tahoe Donner Beach Club Marina and the California State Parks driveway to convert existing head-in parking to parallel parking where feasible. Additional enforcement signage will be added if necessary, but the Town is initially starting with a minimal signage approach. A paved area for vehicles to turn around has also been constructed on the west end of the project area, as shown in the figure below. A five-minute loading/

unloading zone will be provided near the driveway entrance to the Beach Club Marina.

Also note that a trail was built between the Coldstream development and the State Parks driveway in 2020, which effectively eliminated on-street parking along Donner Pass Road east of the State Park driveway.

An updated parking user survey in addition to vehicle, bicyclist and pedestrian counts will be conducted this summer to help evaluate the effectiveness and impacts of the improvement.

Conceptual 2021 Improvements: Boulders with Parallel Parking and Additional Signage

• There is an overall goal to eliminate user (vehicle, bicyclist and pedestrian) conflicts and environmental degradation in this area.

• The State Park has a general desire to eliminate on-street parking adjacent to the State Park.

• Tahoe Donner Association has requested that TSSA-1 funds not be expended in this area.

• Truckee Trails Foundation requested that the user conflict issues be addressed prior to the upcoming summer season.

More Happy Sellers “Alison and her capable team guided us along the way in preparing the house for sale. With proper market timing and a carefully researched sales price, the Elder team worked miracles for us. She did targeted advertising that we knew was successful. When issues arose that could affect the sale, and several did, Alison and her team kept us informed and helped resolve them in whatever manner was required. We received multiple offers for the property and the negotiated sales price was significantly above the asking price. We know that we couldn’t have sold the house as successfully as we did without the Alison Elder Team.”
