HOA 2018 Accomplishments
As 2018 has drawn to a close, the HOA Board would like to provide homeowners with some accomplishments for 2018. It was a very busy year and your board and committees have worked, on your behalf, to enhance your living experience in TrailMark. While not an all-inclusive list of accomplishments, here is a short summary: HOA Board · Moved several bank accounts to money market accounts, to optimize interest opportunities on the Association’s money; · In the interests of maintaining consistent aesthetics throughout the community, improved compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations, as well as TrailMark’s bylaws and covenants through community inspections and follow-up, and homeowner education; · Updated and improved policies governing TrailMark – Collection Policy; Enforcement Policy; · In response to numerous homeowner information requests, transitioned to quarterly invoices, instead of coupons; · Implemented new trash service to include free trash cans and sustainability reporting provided by Alpine Waste; · Met with City of Littleton officials to resolve and/or discuss several community issues: Front entrance electrical issues; street repairs; variance processing; etc.; · Implemented UPS Holiday Delivery Program to minimize the number of UPS trucks traversing TrailMark daily; · In response to news of the potential sale of the SHEA property located at our front entrance, initiated the TrailMark Development Advocacy Committee (TDAC) who conducted a survey and met with City officials, the potential buyer and architect, to exchange information relevant to the proposed project. The proposed project was terminated but the property continues to be on the market. The TDAC remains active in response. Social Committee · We enjoyed our annual traditions of the Easter Egg Hunt, Concerts in the Park, 4th of July Bike Parade, Pirate’s Cove Night, and the Corn Maze; · A couple new events were introduced in 2018: Skate City Night and the TrailMark 5K/Family Fun Run. Both events will be back in 2019; · We were thrilled with the return of Night at the Lights at Chatfield Botanic Gardens! Participation was amazing with over 700 residents and guests! The Social Committee loves planning fun events for all and hope you enjoyed 2018!

Communications Committee · The Communications Committee continues to keep TrailMark residents informed by maintaining the TrailMark website (https://www.trailmark.org/), creating and sending out a monthly newsletter and updating the "Facebook HOA" and "NextDoor.com" social media pages; · The committee also managed the TrailMark Holiday Lights contest including its sponsorship by several TrailMark businesses. Design Review Committee · As usual, the DRC was very busy conducting 21 meetings and reviewing approximately 115 requests; · In concert with the HOA Board and anticipating the need for driveway replacement, published an installation/replacement driveway policy; · In concert with the HOA Board, passed a garage door standard which adheres to TrailMark’s planning and design philosophy of consistent, quality, and design expression throughout the community; · The DRC continued progress with the project to provide new, updated exterior paint combinations for the community. Common Area Committee (CAC) · Continued work with the City of Littleton to repair and maintain the electrical service at the front entrance; · Provided holiday decorations at the front entrance; · Initiated the phased TrailMark landscaping plan by installing new plantings at the front entrance which includes more perennials to make the entrance more attractive for longer periods of time; · Submitted a new landscaping plan to attend to the medians along TrailMark Parkway and Independence.
