Dear Indian Hills Owners:
The Board of Directors for Indian Hills Home Owner’s Association met Saturday, March 25, 2023 as part of our quarterly meeting cadence. Minutes from each Board meeting, which constitute the official report, will be posted in draft form on our web-site within 30 days after the meeting. The minutes are saved in final form after they are approved at the next scheduled Board meeting. The purpose here is to provide a quick update soon after the Saturday meeting. Items discussed during the March 23rd Board meeting include: Gail Riggins, President of the Board, Departure. Ms. Riggins sold her unit and therefore can no longer serve on the Board. Bryan Miller will replace Gail as President. In recognition of Gail’s contribution to the Association over the many years of service, a brass “recognition” plate will be provided on the bench at Mill Camp. Jim Kooler, former Board member at large, will now serve as Vice President. Snow Removal Expense. Indian Hills, like all Lake Tahoe owners, is experiencing very high expenses for snow removal due to the historic snow pack this winter. Given the severe post-Covid labor shortage, we can thank CAMCO for arranging service early and providing good coverage this winter. While we have benefited from low expenses for snow removal over the previous last 4 drought years, nature has a way of course correcting over time. Cumulated snow removal expense will be reported at the next Board meeting. Painting and Entry Stair/Deck Staining Plans for 2023. The Association will complete the exterior painting cycle (two remaining buildings) this summer. The front entry stairs and walkways will also be stained this year. Owners will be notified by CAMCO prior to commencing work. New Front Entry/Stair Design and Budgeting. Now that the rear-deck upgrades are complete, attention is turning to upgrades of the Front Entry & Stairs. Design concepts have been received and a budgetary estimate will be obtained this spring/summer in order to update the Master Plan and 2023 Reserve Study with more precise cost information. General Maintenance and Landscaping Activities. Once the snow clears, siding repairs will continue for areas identified in the July 2022 inspection. A seasonal maintenance program and budget was approved. Owners with specific maintenance issues are encouraged to reach out to CAMCO. Given the high expense of active landscape irrigation and limitation of encouraging plant growth in a high fire risk forest environment, we will revisit hardscape alternatives for the property. Owner’s interested in participating in the landscape committee can reach out to Steve Anderson ([email protected]). Open Board Seat. With Ms. Riggins departure, the Board has a vacant seat. If you are interested in serving on the Board for the remainder of the term through September 2023, please reach out to any Board member. There was no executive session for the March Board Meeting. The next Indian Hills Board meeting is scheduled for June 17th . Thank you for your time, Indian Hills Board Comments are closed.
