George Crank
From our President
Did you get “tagged” recently?
I’m talking about the board’s effort to identify those
without a backflow preventer on their outside hose bib. A surprising number of you were without one so we’re taking some steps to make it super easy to remedy.
An Easy Remedy. We bought some back flow preventers and will have them at the caretaker cabin for you to purchase at cost. The $27 will simply be added to your account balance within Buildium, our HOA software.
Why is this Necessary? All owners with water need a compliant backflow preventer to ensure no black or gray water enter our culinary water system. That’s pretty important, plus it’s required. If you were “tagged”, or your preventer is not working, please install one before the end of summer.
Love our Volunteers
We had many volunteers help at the August work party from chainsaw work to food prep. Thanks to everyone who helped to make it a success.
Board Positions Open
We have three board positions open this year with voting happening in the Fall. You are invited to run for one of those positions. No specific qualifications are necessary, just a willingness to attend monthly meetings, volunteer some time, and help make decisions about our Association.
Here’s more information:
What is required to be a board member?
The position is a three-year appointment. There are monthly meetings that take place mostly via Zoom and two in-person. The meetings last about 90 minutes. You’ll be asked to become familiar with our rules and regulations and weigh in on matters concerning our owners and our property. You’ll help discuss topics affecting our association and give your input and opinions. Sometimes there may be an extra assignment you may want to volunteer for such as work party support or perhaps you’ll find an item that strikes you as worthwhile.
Are there benefits?
Yes! As per our bylaws, board members have their association dues waived.
Do I pick which position I take?
The board meets in December with the new board
members and votes on the 2027 president and vice president. Other board duties are assigned with attention to the expertise and willingness of each member.
Who would I serve with?
Eight of the nicest men and women you’ve ever
worked with. We all have a common desire to make Uintalands the best it can be both now and in the future.
If interested, please send an email ASAP to
Uintalands@gmail.com telling us you want to run.
