President's Letter to Members
Lake Tahoe Park Association
December 30, 2008
Dear Members, Lake Tahoe Park Association,
I hope you had a wonderful summer last year and your experience in our
Association has been both rewarding and enjoyable.
We have a few updates on the status of the Beach. This year the staff has
accomplished the following:
 |
Upgraded the horseshoe pits. |
|
|
Opened
the newly relocated picnic table, #22 and BBQ area. |
|
|
Repaired the south pier stairs. |
|
|
Oiled
and sealed the bathrooms inside and out, as well as the roof. |
|
|
Oiled
and sealed the storage room next to the bathrooms. |
|
|
Upgraded the Wi-Fi at the park (High Speed Internet). |
|
|
Built
additional storage racks for kayaks and canoes. |
|
|
Repaired the trash loading ramp and cleaned up the storage area. |
|
|
Removed
three trees that had "bark beetle" infestation. |
|
|
Relocated the compressor to a much better (quieter and more accessible)
location in the park. |
|
|
Repainted the work building at the south end of park. |
|
|
Created
a new e-mail alert system for buoy renters. |
|
|
Upgraded the LTPA website. |
|
|
Fixed
the key entry system (programming and key accountability). |
|
|
Re-surveyed the buoy field and improved/repaired all necessary buoys,
removing all orphaned weights on the bottom of the lake. |
|
|
Repaired the old lighting fixtures in the park. |
|
|
First day buoy applications will be accepted for full or half seasons -
February 1, 2009 (Weekly is May 16, 2009). The applications will not be
available until late January. |
|
|
Completed Applications for full or half seasons: Mailed in time to be
received by the Association by the due date of March 27, 2009 |
|
|
Buoy
Selection for full/half season - April 4, 2009 |
|
|
With
minimal notice, the TRPA has assessed a new fee allocated to each buoy
on the lake. As a result of this increase and other associated buoy
maintenance costs to the Association, we anticipate an increase in buoy
rental fees this year and in the future. |
|
|
First day to submit your Kayak/Canoe/Row Boat application is April 1. At
this time we also anticipate an increase in fees to cover the
construction of new storage racks, administration, and maintenance of
storage. |
|
|
The
fees will be set at the January Board meeting. |
Gas Station Property/Gas Station Property Usage:
We continue to move forward with the Regional Water Quality Control Board
(RWQCB) to close our monitoring sites and finish the clean-up project. RWQCB
has approved our plan and we have initiated the steps necessary to close
this project.
Facilities Maintenance:
I have addressed most of these issues previously but we still have some
items to complete, including incremental repair of our bulkheads. The work
is being performed one at a time to main within the authorized TRPA
maintenance/repair guidelines. We will also be repairing the access to the
north pier . If you have any issues that you believe need to be addressed,
please bring them to Jim's attention so that he and the Board may take
appropriate action.
I hope that this update is helpful and I look forward to serving you again
this year. Please mark your calendars to join us for the Annual Membership
Meeting on Saturday, July 4, 2009. If you have questions, ideas and/or need
information, please feel free to contact me or Jim Davisson through our website.
Additionally, we are attaching a calendar of important events at the Park. We
hope it will be helpful in planning your activities.
Warm regards,
Robert (Bob) Thomas
