The Ranch provides playgrounds, basketball courts, volleyball, pickleball, yard games, disc golf, shuffleboard, a golf driving range and many other activities too numerous to list. Needless to say the Ranch offers something for everyone. In summary, it appears our members appreciate all our events and activities as they are always well supported. The committee would like to see these activities continue and is always looking for new ideas and welcome new members to the committee.

CCR Property Owners Committee Annual Report The first meeting of the reinstated Property Owners Committee was in July 2019. At this time the President of the Board, Ray Karbon, presented us with an outline to structure the committee. We are to list the areas on the ranch for which standards of neatness and appearance should be developed. Our task is to assist the Board in watching the well-being and appearance of the Ranch property. We are to serve at the discretion of the Board. The areas in question are to be east of the Canada Creek. At this time our mission statement has been developed and accepted by the committee. Rules for the committee members to follow as to meeting structure and confidentiality have been written but not yet accepted by the committee. The meeting process is developed to a point so we can function. Yet, a more effective method of working with the snowbirds committee members needs to be addressed. The list of areas to be monitored for the Board and the standards of neatness and appearance are being developed. Also, these standards and the rationale for them are a work in progress. These standards and the rationale then need to be presented to the membership. The means of reporting to the Board and tracking the outcomes for future reference will be the next step. Our goal is to present the completed outline for Board approval in the first quarter of 2020. Respectfully submitted, Ken Suppes, O.D The Committee worked with the Board in making a change in the process by putting the final decision on any actions taken in the hands of the Board. The Committee receives the incident reports, investigates, works with management and members involved then sends their findings to the Board of Directors for the final decision. The Committee was asked to make a recommendation to the Board of Directors on any changes in the rule governing the use of side by sides on the property. The Committee has only had one incident with these vehicles since they have been allowed on the property and does not feel any changes are necessary at this time. The Committee did not make any recommendation for changes at this time. There is nothing before the Committee at this time that would result in any recommendations for the upcoming year.
