MESSAGE FROM THE

GENERAL MANAGER Dear members, Spring continues its welcoming entrance to Tahoe Donner this month. With this early season, our members have been eager to use amenities such as playgrounds and the trail system. Staff has been diligently working to open our summer amenities and close down our winter operation. While we wait for the snow to make its final exit, however, please be mindful and stay off muddy trails.

Walking or biking on trails that have not yet dried can permanently damage our trail system and further erode our landscape.

OPENING AMENITIES

Some Tahoe Donner amenities are looking to open this month, conditions permitting.

These amenities include the Beach Club Marina, Tennis Center and Golf Course.

Private amenities such as the marina and tennis center require an access fee to enter.

To purchase the annual Recreation Pass this season and gain access to these facilities without paying a daily access fee, visit tahoedonner.com/member-cards-rec-fee.

SUMMER STAFFING

Tahoe Donner is not immune to the staffing challenges our region is facing. At some amenities, we are excited to introduce a number of new faces for the summer. At others, we are asking our employees to do double duty in order to provide quality service and keep our amenities clean and open. Our staff is committed to providing the best possible experience to all our members and guests, but training new staff while working multiple positions in the association can create gaps. As we continue our transition into summer, when you have the opportunity to interact with staff at one of our many amenities, ask them how their day is going. When we all interact kindly with each other, that positivity goes a long way.

Please visit tahoedonner.com for the latest amenity updates and information this season.

SUMMER HIRING FAIR

It is largely due to our dedicated and hardworking staff that Tahoe Donner summers are so unforgettable, and a variety of positions are available this summer.

Perks include free amenity access, food and beverage discounts, a competitive paycheck and much more. Whether you want something part-time, full-time or year-round, join us at our job fair on May 14 from 11AM-2PM to discover your place at Tahoe Donner. Plus, enter for a chance to win a pair of AirPods when you secure a position on our team.

Learn more at tahoedonner.com/jobs.

HOME FROM SCHOOL

Will your children or relatives stay at Tahoe Donner this summer? A number of part-time summer positions are available to keep them busy. If they can’t make it to the summer hiring fair, encourage them to go online and apply for one of the many available openings. As a reminder, Tahoe Donner members who refer a candidate to work at Tahoe Donner can earn $100 in Mountain Money every month for up to three months of employment if their candidate is hired, meaning up to $300! Learn more at tahoedonner.com/jobs.

HAPPY HOUR WITH THE GM

Join me at Pizza at the Hill on May 10 at 4:30PM for an informal discussion about Tahoe Donner, joined by senior staff. Ask questions and learn more about your association while enjoying local drinks and food from our favorite pizzeria. Light snacks will be provided, and drinks will be available for purchase.

There is much to get excited about this season, and I join you this month in dusting off the bikes, bringing out the lawn chairs and truly enjoying this spring season at Tahoe Donner.

Be well, DAVID MICKAELIAN | GENERAL MANAGER

THE

BUZZ: CLUBS TD 9-HOLERS CLUB Our preseason activities are in full swing as we welcome our new and returning members. We are getting ready for summer golf with clinics covering golf fitness (March), the mental game (April) and using the rules to your benefit (May). In April, we got together for a casual social at the Pro Shop, swinging at the indoor driving range with a little friendly competition and previewing the cool new merchandise coming in.

HIKING CLUB

QUILT CLUB

The Tahoe Donner Hiking Club is gearing up for another great season of hiking. Once all the hikes, away trips and backpack trips are decided, they will appear on the calendar on our website at tdhikers.com.

The Tahoe Donner Quilt Club ladies are busy making quilt blocks for Mission Quilts. One of the organizations the club is considering making quilts for is LUTHERAN WORLD RELIEF. They were founded in 1945 after WWII as an International aid to disaster relief, and they are still going strong. One of the LWR projects is Quilt Relief. They send quilts all over the world and are now concentrating on Ukraine. This is a TD Quilt Club group effort; club members contribute the blocks and assemble the quilts during summer meetings.

For more information, contact Marilyn Dundas at md11792@outlook.com.

The website has everything: • Contact information for the various coordinators • Membership forms that can be downloaded and sent in with a $25 lifetime membership fee • Articles of interest (including a description of the different hiking levels (green, blue and black) • A list of what to bring on a hike • A library of different hikes • And more The philosophy of the club is to allow people to “hike their own pace” (within reason). So, get out your boots and your gear and plan to join in the FUN!

JUNIOR GOLF CLUB

Our Spring Breakfast and New Member Orientation are in May, and as soon as the Tahoe Donner Golf Course is open, we’ll begin regular Thursday morning play days. Highlights for the summer will include Twilight Play evenings with our guests, our summer tourney/luncheon in July and our club championship/banquet in August.

SKY RONDENET

Our friendly, supportive club is a great way to meet super gals and improve your game through easy-tofit-in, inclusive 9-hole play. For club information, email td9hole@gmail.com.

Welcome to another year of Tahoe Donner Junior Golf Club, designed for players aged 7-17. Weekly junior play days begin June 23, 2022, at 2PM; meet on the practice green. The first hour is spent on putting and chipping games followed by playing 9 holes on our course. We normally play a scramble where everyone hits from the best ball after teeing off. All levels of experience are invited to join.

While we hope to have some Truckee high school golf team members as driver/caddies, this has not yet been solidified. Lacking that resource, we ask for parent volunteers to drive golf carts to transport players from green to tee. As a parent volunteer, you do not need to know golf. The goal of TDJGC is to allow younger players to enjoy golf by playing with others of similar age and experience without parental intervention. We want them to have fun and put into practice skills learned from the junior clinics or what you as parents have taught them.

Call the Pro Shop to get a registration packet. For questions, feel free to email rslai@comcast.net or call (530) 582-0673 after June 6. We look forward to seeing you.

WOMEN’S GOLF CLUB With our course scheduled to open May 27 (weather permitting), golf season is here! Our first women’s play day is planned for the following Tuesday.

Our “Big/Little Sister” play day to welcome new members is tentatively scheduled for June 14. Each new member will have a “big sister” assigned to be their “go to” resource for the season. In addition to playing together, the big sister will be there throughout the season to offer information and answer questions about our club traditions.

We are also planning our Ladies Club Summer Social for June 23 to welcome new and old members alike, hand out awards from last season and discuss the changes for this season.

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

4-WHEELERS CLUB

SENIOR ALPINE SKI CLUB

KARATE CLUB

Hello, friends! The ski season has ended, and except for a few injuries, we had a great ski season. There were trips to Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Switzerland, Mammoth and local resorts.

A group of TD4WD Club members is heading to the Red Rock 4WD Club’s Easter Jeep Safari in Moab.

The scenery around Moab is absolutely beautiful and well worth the trip to see it. Red Rock members guide groups of vehicles over trails of various difficulty based on trail signups in February. Trails range from benign dirt roads (rated 1) to cliffs (rated 10). We picked trails in the 4-6 range, but some members selected tougher trails.

Driving on the red rock is interesting, as it offers extremely good traction when dry – like driving on sandpaper.

We were amazed at the steepness of the hills we could safely go up and down.

Even if you’re not into 4WD activities, Moab is great for mountain biking or hiking too. But pick a week other than Easter to avoid the thousands of Jeeps and other 4WD vehicles.

The race department did a great job with clinics/races and, although the last races had to be canceled for safety reasons, we still had some decent spring conditions into early April, ending with our annual banquet dinner at The Lodge.

Our incoming board this year will consist of a team of past presidents who will collaborate for our club.

Stephen O'Brien has already put in two years and brought us countless fun adventures. So, THANK YOU, Stephen, for staying on as a copresident this year with Bill Wang and Micheal Eyton-Lloyd.

Two more former presidents, Denny Moser and Bob Miller, will also be on the team.

Dan Morris is our incoming vice president, Jane Kern is our new treasurer and friendly Dave Jackson is head of social events. Ione Cutter will remain in communications with help from our most beloved Judi Cuffney.

We have a great team!

We will send out emails soon with summer activities, and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Don’t miss out on dozens of events scheduled this season; now is the time to join or renew your membership with the TD Men’s Golf Club. Schedule highlights include: • The Ice Breaker | June 12 • Match Play Qualifier | June 25 • Club Championship | Aug. 20-21 • Member/Guest Invitational | Sept. 8-10 Additionally on the schedule, you will find four NCGA qualifier tournaments, matches against Incline Village, the Memorial and Parent/Child open to all Men’s and Women’s golf clubs along

Dear Members, On behalf of the Tahoe Donner Association Board of Directors and our management team, it is our pleasure to present to you the Association’s 2021 Annual Report. This material includes our audited financial statements and the report of our independent auditors, McClintock Accountancy Corporation, as well as a wealth of operational and financial information about your Association.

We encourage you to carefully review this material to become more familiar with your Association’s operating performance and financial condition.

Many operational challenges were faced in 2021 as our members, the local community and broader region endured year two of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Added costs associated with hiring and retaining a talented workforce amidst a nationwide staffing shortage impacted amenity and service offerings.

Wildfires throughout the Tahoe area and beyond delayed capital project construction and impacted amenity access due to health concerns. The continuation of COVID-19 impacts reduced capacities and availabilities at amenities. We applaud both staff resilience and member patience as we navigated these waters while striving to safely offer quality services and amenities at a reasonable price.

Your Association stands in a strong financial position today. For fiscal year 2021, we reported a Net Operating Result surplus of $850,213 versus the Budget.

This superior performance is a result of our management team carefully balancing revenues and the cost to produce that revenue. This budget surplus amount represents, in effect, a contingency reserve. Later this year, we will reassess this contingency reserve, and, conditions permitting, transfer all or a portion of the 2021 Operating Fund surplus to our capital improvement funds much we have done in the past.

Another measure of the strength of your Association is that our capital funds, made up of the Replacement Reserve Fund and Development Fund, stand at the highest funding levels in the Association’s history. Monies in these capital funds are used to maintain, improve and develop our physical plant to preserve and enhance the overall experience for our members and their guests, and to strengthen our home values.

While hardships were noted, 2021 also celebrated 50 years of excitement at Tahoe Donner. Half a century of summer hikes, winter ski days, delicious dining and family memories were highlighted. The Board of Directors and the management team are committed to providing members and their guests the superb facilities, quality programming and varied recreational opportunities to continue these unforgettable traditions. With important capital initiatives underway, a growing membership and continued passion for a quality member experience, the celebration of this unique mountain lifestyle will continue for another 50 years.

$850,213 SURPLUS TO BUDGET

Dear Members,

Net Operating Result Loss of $5.6 million (excluding Annual Assessment Revenue) was $850,213, or 13% favorable to Budget and $403,685, or 8% unfavorable to 2020

The purpose of this Annual Report is to provide a comprehensive report on 2021 financial results. We experienced the ongoing impact of COVID-19 throughout the year, most notably in the first four months of 2021. The consolidated operating revenue for the year fell just 0.24% below Budget. We were able to save on Operating Expenses, finishing the year 5% favorable to Budget.

$13.2 MILLION OPERATING REVENUES 0.26% below Budget and 40% favorable to 2020

$18.8 MILLION OPERATING COSTS

Staffing was a major challenge during the summer months through the end of 2021, which saw seasonal hourly wages increase, along with recruiting and retention incentives that will continue to challenge operations in 2022.

4% favorable to Budget and 29% unfavorable to 2020

$5.0 MILLION CAPITAL FUNDS EXPENDITURES 36% less expenditure to Budget, most notably due to Cross Country Ski Center snowmaking deferral

The Board of Directors, Finance Committee and management regularly monitor both operational and financial results and are committed to responsive and proactive management, balancing our service levels to volume and financial performance.

• Revenues up favorable $266,699, or 5% to Budget.

Great ski conditions with stable weather offering many bluebird days on a good snowpack. F+B operations remained at to-go only, impacting F+B revenues. Visitation at the Downhill Ski Resort was 21% up on Budget while the Cross Country Ski Center was 64% up on Budget.

• Total Operating Expenses (COGS, Payroll and Other Operating Expenses) favorable $754,281, or 12% to Budget.

MAY-SEPTEMBER

• Revenues were $51,947, or 0.9% favorable to Budget.

Golf operations resumed in May and maintained very strong revenue to Budget through August, when forest fire smoke impacted visitation for the remaining two months of operations. Recruiting seasonal employees proved very challenging, most notably in F+B and Golf Maintenance.

• Total Operating Expenses (COGS, Payroll and Other Operating Expenses) were favorable to Budget by $86,527, or 1%.

OCTOBER-DECEMBER

• Revenues were below Budget by $353,331.

Due to a lack of natural snowfall, Cross Country and Downhill ski areas were unable to open until December 19. From opening day to the end of the year, Tahoe Donner received 128-inches of snow, which significantly impacted operations and resulted in several days of closures.

• Total Operating Expenses (COGS, Payroll and Other Operating Expenses) were favorable to Budget by $43,976.

• Net Operating Result favorable $1,020,980, or 88% to Budget.

• Net Operating Result favorable $138,588 to Budget, or 4%.

The Association employs a high percentage of entry-level seasonal customer service positions to operate the various amenities of the Association. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 impact, this number was slightly more than 2020, but well down from years prior, as can be seen based on the number of W-2s issued in 2021.

(1) California Minimum Wage; increased to $13.00 per hour in 2020 and $14.00 per hour in 2021.

(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.

Tahoe Donner 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.

• The Development Fund portion was held at $250 for six years (2011-2016) and the Association is now increasing it 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.

• For 2022, the Operating Fund portion decreased $50 per owner due to projected strong revenue at the Golf, Downhill and Cross Country operations, while the Association absorbed further insurance and payroll costs.

The variance between Actual and Budget capital expenditures is primarily driven by the timing of projects between years, weather delays, contractor availability and deferrals due to COVID-19. * Board approved transfer in December 2021, funds transferred in 2022

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

OPINION We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Tahoe Donner Association, which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, and the related statements of revenues and expenses and changes in fund balances and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

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, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

BASIS FOR OPINION We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of Tahoe Donner Association and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

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

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Tahoe Donner Association’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements, including omissions, are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we: • Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include

14

| TAHOE DONNER 2021 ANNUAL REPORT

examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Tahoe Donner Association’s internal control.

Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

• Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Tahoe Donner Association’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

DISCLAIMER OF OPINION ON REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that Required Supplementary Information on Future Major Repairs and Replacements on page 27 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, 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, 2020 is presented for comparative purposes only and was extracted from the financial statements presented for that year, on which we expressed an unmodified opinion on our report dated April 13, 2021.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1

OPERATIONS

Tahoe Donner Association (Association) is a California nonprofit mutual benefit corporation. The Association’s members own the 6,473 membership properties within the Tahoe Donner subdivision in Truckee, California. The Association was organized to provide management services and maintenance of certain common areas owned by the Association. A significant portion of revenue is derived from the assessment of member dues.

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 an 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, 2021 and 2020, cash balances exceeded federally insured limits by approximately $3,428,000 and $5,137,000, 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.

HIGH ALTITUDE HEADACHES DRAGGING YOU DOWN? There’s more to the story than what’s in your head…

For more information about what oxygenating your home can do for you, call:

H

eadaches are such a drag! Not all headaches are the same, but when you live at high altitude, your headaches go beyond your own physiology. They have as much to do with the air you’re breathing, or more specifically the lack of oxygen, than anything else. The key to combating these daytime responses happens at night.

Sleeping in low oxygen causes an apnea breathing pattern known as high-altitude periodic breathing. These fitful nights result in headaches and malaise during the day. The solution is oxygen, and you don’t have to return to sea level to get it. Just six to eight hours of sleep in an oxygenated room restores your oxygen saturation so you wake rested and ready to enjoy the day.

Altitude Control Technology designs custom room oxygenation systems that lower the effective altitude of a room up to 7,000 feet.

Many of ACT’s customers report sleeping better and feeling healthier after their very first night of sleeping in their oxygenated room. Don’t let high-altitude headaches drag you down. Stay at altitude with ACT’s healthy, natural alternative!

Ahhhhh…

Oxygen! ™

ACT is the world leader in altitude simulation. Clients include: Harvard Medical School • Mayo Clinic • University of Colorado School of Medicine • Federal Aviation Administration • U.S. Naval Air Systems Command • Olympic Training Centers in 14 countries • More than 50 medical schools and universities on five continents.

Is your home

Ember-Resistant?

Some homes have survived recent wildfires while others have not, and we are learning why.

By THE TRUCKEE FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT Assembly Bill 3074, passed into law in 2020, requires new regulation in the area closest to the home to prevent a wildfire from getting to your home. This law requires the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection to develop a regulation for a new Ember-Resistant Zone (Zone 0) in the area within zero to five feet of the home by January 1, 2023.

Science has proven the Ember-Resistant Zone to be the most important of all the defensible space zones. This zone includes the area under and around all attached decks and within five feet from your home and requires the most stringent wildfire fuel reduction.

The Ember-Resistant Zone is designed to keep fire or embers from igniting materials that can spread the fire to your home. The following provides guidance and best practices for this zone, which may change based on the regulation developed by the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection.

EMBER-RESISTANT ZONE (0-5 FEET FROM YOUR HOME) • Use hardscape like gravel, pavers, concrete and other noncombustible materials (do not use combustible bark, pine needles, chips or mulch) • Remove all dead and dying weeds, grass, plants, shrubs, trees, branches and vegetative debris (leaves, needles, cones, bark, etc.)

• Remove all branches within 10 feet of any chimney or stovepipe outlet • Limit combustible items (outdoor furniture, planters, etc.) on top of decks • Relocate firewood and lumber 30 feet from home • Replace combustible fencing, gates and arbors attached to the home with noncombustible alternatives • Relocate garbage and recycling containers outside this zone • Relocate boats, RVs, vehicles and other combustible items outside this zone if possible

Go to readyforwildfire.org for more information on preparing for wildfire. To contact Eric Horntvedt, wildfire prevention manager for the Truckee Fire Protection District, email erichorntvedt@truckeefire.org.

TRUCKEE FIRE GREEN WASTE DUMPSTER REBATE PROGRAM Creating defensible space around your home is a vital step in wildfire safety. This includes removing pine needles, pinecones, shrubs, tree limbs, dry grasses and other vegetation within 100 feet of your home. Removing and disposing of flammable vegetation can reduce the likelihood of your house or your neighbor’s house burning in the event of a wildland fire.

Proudly Serving Truckee & Tahoe-Donner For Over 25 Years

Funds from the Measure T Wildfire Prevention Fund will reimburse Truckee Fire residents up to $75 towards the cost of a six-yard green waste dumpster rental so you can remove vegetation when you create defensible space around your home. Simply provide a paid receipt from Tahoe Truckee Sierra Disposal to the Truckee Fire Protection District, and you will be reimbursed up to $75 – while funds last!

Go to truckeefire.org/defensible-space-rebate-program for more details, or follow the steps below:

THE REPORT

2022 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 2022.

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.

2022 DEFENSIBLE SPACE ZONE

During the fall of 2021, defensible space inspections took place within Unit 2 lots 392-423, Unit 9 lots 1-654, Unit 7 lots 1-262 and the golf course condos. Properties that were found to be noncompliant have been provided with a Notice of Required Maintenance and will be reinspected beginning June 2022. Areas inspected for defensible space compliance verification include properties located on Northwoods Boulevard, Hansel Avenue, Pathway Avenue, Greenleaf Way, Telemark Place, Schussing Way, St. Bernard Drive, Brookstone Drive, Falcon Point Place, Lausanne Way, Bennett Flat Road, Hillside Drive, St. Croix Way, Gyrfalcon Street, Solvang Way, Peregrine Drive and Staghorn Drive.

HOW YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED OF INSPECTIONS

• Notices of Required Maintenance were sent electronically and via USPS in winter 2022.

• Members whose properties are subject to this year’s defensible space inspection were provided with a reminder email that included an outline of the inspection process.

REQUEST A REINSPECTION

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

Firewood rounds cannot be left on the property; wood must be split and stacked neatly.

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

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