Driver Education with a Focus on Safety!

To participate, your teen must be at least 15 1/2 years old. This class includes information in all areas of the learn-to-drive process and includes computerized driving simulations with a focus on safety. Please note: Parents are asked to attend the first 90 minutes of the class along with their student. Parents and teens will be provided information on the permit process and driving safety issues common to new teen drivers. Classes are only held on Sundays. Space is limited.

Call for Proxies, Candidates
TrailMark Residents, The Budget Ratification meeting and Annual Member Meeting will be held on Thursday, November 14th. You will receive, in the mail, notice of this meeting with a proxy form. If you cannot attend the meeting please return your proxy. Every year the HOA struggles to get enough proxies back to meet the quorum requirements set forth in the Governing Documents. If a quorum is not reached, the meeting must be rescheduled and costs the HOA a lot of money as all of the items must be mailed again and additional meetings must be called. Please send back your proxy when you receive it in the mail. If you think your neighbor already sent it, they probably didn’t! So please, if you are not going to attend the meeting, send your proxy back. Thank you! The Annual Meeting also means that Board elections are coming up. Please contact the Property Manager, Angie Kelly (akelly@crsofcolorado.com) if you are interested in running for a position on the Board of Directors. More information about the requirements for these positions can be obtained from Angie Kelly as well. Posted October 1, 2019 From our Management Company (CRS)
Please remember, you purchased a home that is close to wildlife. This means that leaving trash cans out will attract bears, raccoons, etc. As a member of the community, putting your trash cans in the garage is the best way to avoid unwanted visitors in your yard or your neighbor’s yard. Your trash can being left outside does attract animals to those around you. The rules for trash day say that your container cannot be out before the morning of pick-up. This also helps keep the unwanted visitors out of the neighborhood. Posted October 1, 2019 TMMD Update
Save the date: November 14, 2019. The annual joint meeting of the TrailMark HOA and the TrailMark Metropolitan District (TMMD) will be held to discuss the budgets for 2020. The TMMD meeting begins at 6:30 pm with the HOA meeting immediately following the conclusion of the TMMD meeting, approximately 7:00. If you want to know where your taxes and fees are being spent and managed, please come to the meeting. To have a quorum necessary for ratification we need representation in person or by proxy of a minimum of 82 households! See you there! Posted October 1, 2019 Election Season
As election season is upon us, it is time to remind TrailMark homeowners and residents of TrailMark’s signage rules: TrailMark Homeowners Association cannot prohibit the placement of political signs on property which is owned by a resident of the HOA or in the window of a unit. A political sign is defined as a sign that carries a message intended to influence the outcome of an election, including supporting or opposing the election of a candidate, the recall of a public official, or the passage of a ballot issue. Any political sign shall not be on display earlier than 45 days before an election and shall be removed no later than 7 days after an election. The political sign may be no larger than thirty-six by forty-eight inches in size. Each home or unit may only have one (1) sign per political office or ballot issue that is contested in an upcoming election. Please adhere to these rules to avoid a covenant violation. Reference:

CAC Update
We are sprucing up the neighborhood! Just completed repairing, repainting and sealing the TrailMark Sign at our entrance. Slow down as you enter TrailMark and check out how good it looks now. We also just planted four trees to replace those that have died over the past few years. We will begin phase one of work on the first median past the fire station this week. We are adding hardscape (boulders and cobble), as well as mulch. It will be followed in the spring with selected plantings that do not require as much water and will add colorful visual appeal. We have added fresh mulch to the beds adjacent to the new privacy fence, and will follow-up with mulch in other areas not yet addressed. Enjoy the beautiful fall in TrailMark. We are lucky indeed.
