Deadline to return HOA Ballots - November 30, 2020
This year’s election will run a bit differently this year, with the November 12th Annual Meeting being virtual. The voting will not take place during the annual meeting as it normally does. Instead, ballots will be mailed to each home in TrailMark immediately following the meeting. This is to ensure anyone who gets nominated the night of the meeting still has the chance to obtain votes. The ballots will need to be returned by mail or the ballot drop box by November 30, 2020. Ballots delivered or received in the mail after November 30th will not be counted. A ballot drop box will be placed along TrailMark Parkway as you exit the neighborhood. The ballot drop box will be placed outside from 7am-7pm each day. It will be removed each night to ensure no vandalism takes place to the box or ballots. The mailing you will receive will have the ballot, instructions on voting, information about each candidate, and a stamped/return envelope for your ballot. The results of the election will be announced at a Special Meeting to be held Thursday, December 3rd at 7:00pm. This meeting will also be held virtually. The HOA needs volunteers to process and count ballots. If you wish to help with this process, please contact the Property Manager Angie Kelly at akelly@crsofcolorado.com. All are welcome.

COVID-19 Resources and Information: Holiday Movies are Full of Safety Messages
By Einar Jensen, Risk Reduction Specialist South Metro Fire Rescue Emergencies don’t stop during the winter holiday season. In fact, many injuries and incidents, from heart attacks to cooking fires, increase between November and January. Watching Christmas movies is one of my holiday traditions and I’ve realized that several of my favorite movies contain safety messages. I hope these movies and their risk reduction tips resonate with you and your families.

A letter from the Editor
Neighbors, At Thursday night's Town Hall of HOA candidates, communications for the neighborhood of TrailMark was brought up. Some candidates mentioned that there has to be more communication “outside of Facebook.” The current HOA communicates in the following manner.
Anyone with a computer or cell phone can access this information. In contrast to what was said at the HOA Town Hall meeting, multiple formats are employed to disseminate important information in a timely matter. Linda Jagiello, chair TrailMark HOA Communications Posted November 13, 2020 Risk Reduction Specialist to contribute to TrailMark Communications outlets
TrailMark welcomes Einar Jensen, Risk Reduction Specialist for South Metro Fire Rescue at Station #19.

We are very fortunate to have Einar join our TrailMark family. Welcome to TrailMark, Einar!! 
Show Gratitude this Thanksgiving by cooking with caution
By Einar Jensen, Risk Reduction Specialist South Metro Fire Rescue Thanksgiving is a holiday known for cooking and eating. Thanksgiving typically unites friends and family to cook together, eat together, and wonder how we ate so much together. Although the number of people who unite in each home should be lower this year because of COVID-19, those who do come together have an opportunity to show their appreciation for one another by cooking safely. Cooking fires are the leading cause of home fires and fire injuries, according to the National Fire Protection Association. Three times as many cooking fires happen on Thanksgiving than any other day. The most common factor in these cooking fires is leaving the area where you are simmering, boiling, frying, grilling, or broiling food. Stand by your pan and watch what you heat. That way, if a small fire does occur, you can react quickly and safely to extinguish it. Either smother the flames with a lid or turn off the heat to the appliance. If you cook with the kitchen window open, you can keep small wisps of smoke from finding their way to the home’s smoke alarms. However, if the smoke alarm does activate, go outside to your family meeting place, make sure everyone is safe, and if needed call 911. If you’re confident the smoke was from the kitchen, send one person inside to verify the source and start clearing the kitchen and hallway of smoke. Here are some other tips for cooking with caution:

Santa Claus is coming to TrailMark!
Santa will be coming to TrailMark for a visit again this year (weather permitting)! He will be on the corner of TrailMark Parkway and South Everett Way on the evenings of Saturday, December 19th and Sunday, December 20th. Volunteers would be appreciated to donate time or set up additional lighting to make Santa's corner even more spectacular! Please contact Gregory Goggin at goggin2u@yahoo.com. Please observe COVID-19 restrictions. Santa will also be taking the necessary precautions! Responses to questions on the HOA Facebook page
Homeowner, CJ Haberkorn, posted the following:
board@trailmarkhoa.org This Facebook post was forwarded to Susie Ellis, TrailMark Covenant Compliance Manager. Her response is below the post.
When you move into any covenant controlled community everyone is informed at their closing of the fact that there are rules and restrictions to be followed or a "check list" as you call it. Those rules and restrictions, in the form of your governing documents or CCRs (Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions), come with oversight or inspections to make sure they are followed. Sometimes people hurry through their closing and don't take the time to read them. The good thing is that those rules (checklist) are always available to all residents through the website. They can be download or printed for convenience. The CCRs are the checklist against which I conduct inspections. If you ever have a question about them let me know and I can assist.

Who’s on 1st? What's on 2nd?
Are you a little confused who is responsible for the different areas and items in TrailMark? It is confusing when there are so many different entities responsible for different areas. We hope that the following will help: City of Littleton: · All streets except private streets in Star Canyon. · Police, street sweeping, snow plowing. · Manages street signs. Jefferson County: · Hildebrand Open Space that surrounds most of TrailMark and its trail system(s). South Suburban Parks and Recreation: · All trails inside TrailMark except inside Star Canyon. · All open space within the TrailMark community. · Athletic field and park area. · South side of TrailMark Parkway from entrance to South Flower Way. TrailMark Metro District: · All reservoirs and ponds. · Painting on all split rail fencing* along trails and open space. *(splitting the maintenance cost 50% with TM HOA) · Maintaining the land along the holding ponds. TrailMark HOA: · All privacy fencing and landscaping along TrailMark Parkway and South Independence Street. · Repairs all split rail fencing* along trails and open space. *(splitting the maintenance cost 50% with TMMD) · Trash collection for the community. · Common Area landscaping. · Social Committee events. Shea Homes: · Building site to the north of the entrance. South Metro: · Fire station near the entrance/exit to the community. Homeowner: · All property within their property lines (corner lots own property between fence and sidewalk). · ANY changes to the exterior of the home or property must receive PRIOR APPROVAL from the DRC. TrailMark CAC (Common Area Committee) Posted November 1, 2020 
From the Design Review Committee:
Fall Winterization Fall is here and many homeowners are preparing to paint their fences. In response to one homeowner’s inquiry, below is the Sherwin Williams paint formula for TrailMark perimeter fences (not wing fences). Homeowners may paint all fences except the wing fences the same color as the open space fences. Homeowners on open space are responsible for painting only the inside of the fence. Those planning to update their wing and/or perimeter fences (fences between properties) with stain, the TrailMark approved options are:
SW3504 Woodridge SW3522 Banyan Brown
The natural, untreated finish is no longer an approved fencing option. It has been determined that the long-term wear and tear of this option does not provide an attractive appearance.
Project Request: As with all exterior projects, staining/painting fences must be submitted and approved by the DRC prior to initiation of the project:

From your HOA Board:
Recently, there have been allegations of mismanagement, unfair/unequal administration of covenant violations, and the appeal process. The following message was prepared by our covenant compliance manager, Susie Ellis, in answer to the allegations. We hope that this information will help all better understand the process for leveling violations and potential fines for non-compliance with our covenants: October 29, 2020  Click to view Report
To All,
I haven't been following the emails and certainly not Facebook or any kind of social media. I stay out of the politics so I can objectively enforce your regulations in a fair manner. I don't know who is on this email because I can't possibly remember the thousands of names and emails, I work with monthly. The information being distributed is so very wrong, and I'm not sure why anyone would distribute such skewed details without first verifying the facts unless their intentions were to be destructive. An enforcement report is provided at every meeting, and everyone is entitled to see it or have access to it. They can also ask any questions they would like about the report as I am almost always there to answer them during the meetings. I will never get specific to protect your residents' privacy, but I am always willing to help anyone with general questions. A simple way to provide your residents with the facts is to encourage them to look at the report. This will tell you exactly how many cases have been opened and how many resulted in which fines. Remember that the fines reflected on the report may change as hearings take place. Know that I personally and at the direction of the Board work hard to help residents comply with your CC&Rs as well as your Design Guidelines by providing information, resources, hearings, and extended time to resolve matters. This is clearly the case judging by the report. Yes, all 375 cases (actual number) could have resulted in a fine of some kind, and we could have sent many of them to legal for further action, including foreclosure, but we did not. Why, because the very last thing the Board wants is to invoke punitive measures. There have only been 10 properties that received a potential fine notice in 2020 thus far and most of those were residents who disregarded the requirement to obtain approval prior to work, improvements, or changes on their property. These were not about the project but about the lack of approval prior. They were simple decisions because it was a question of did they or didn’t they start their project without approval? I do not believe we’ve even reached $1,000.00 in fines thus far. What does that mean? It means a lot of hard work through enforcement, Management and Board efforts. A lot of conversations and emails with residents, working with them, following up, explanations, information, education, extra inspections, public outreach, time discussing matters with member of the Board etc. We also work side by side with the City Code Enforcement Department and their staff as they are sometimes called into the community by residents to enforce their City codes that as you know are often different from your community rules. Each one of the potential fines comes with an opportunity for a hearing before the fine is imposed. Some of the owners simply paid the fine because they feel it is fair. Others take their opportunity for a hearing because they either disagreed with the potential fine or they wanted to explain their unique and often very personal circumstances in hopes to have the fine dismissed. If and when a fine is necessary it is only due to lack of response (several letters are sent), lack of approval, lack of effort to remedy a violation within a reasonable period of time or the owner has disregarded the extension I provided and simply stopped efforts all together. I receive many calls from residents who follow the rules asking why a violation still exists and why heavy fines have not been imposed. Fines are a part of your documents and are there to deter and motivate. The Board must make tough decisions about fines. They have those who are angry about them being imposed even though it is for a legitimate reason and then those who are angry that they are not being aggressive enough by imposing more fines. The Board works hard to find a balance, but they cannot please everyone. The Board wants nothing more than to keep the community maintained, attractive, and enjoyable for their residents by working with residents not against them. They trust that I will consider all of the circumstances regarding a violation and provide additional time and resources needed because that is what they have asked me to do, all while balancing the fact that they also are trying to meet the expectations of the rest of the community by fulfilling their enforcement obligation set forth in your By-Laws. They try to do this in a fair and equitable way but unfortunately, fair and equable is not what some people want because it interferes with their ability to do whatever they want. This upsets a few, causes them to go to social media, and lash out. Trust me when I say that you could end up with some horrible situations at the property next door if we allowed everyone to do whatever they wanted and without permission. The oversight seems intrusive at the time, but residents will appreciate it when it is needed next to them, behind or across from them. Fair and equitable is what most want, signed up for, and expect to receive without having to ask. Please remember the Board is obligated to enforce the rules whether they like them or not. Each person/owner who moved into the community moved in knowing full well that they would have this type of protection. They knew there were laws set in place that would protect them from rogue property owners who burden the community with unsightliness, hazardous situations, and out of character changes and improvements. They moved in, hoping for and appreciating the proactive enforcement that will help them protect their property values and allow them to come home to a beautiful community with pride and joy. I personally and the Board wants everyone to love living in TrailMark not only for its natural backdrop but for its beautiful and well-maintained homes and properties. The Board wants everyone to feel comfortable and proud to be a TrailMark resident and enjoy the neighborly nature of the community. They want everyone to pull up in their driveway and feel comfortable waving to their neighbor, knowing that someone else is behind the scenes taking care of the dirty work. I talk with most everyone in your community for some reason or another. Sometimes it is because I had to issue a notice for a violation, and the resident called to ask questions and let me know what their intentions are. Sometimes it is because a resident is very upset with their neighbor or someone down the street who is either interfering with the enjoyment of their property or doing something that is not allowed. They do not want to confront their neighbor because they want to maintain a friendly relationship and have a beer after work or let their kids play together. This is where I step in, and my company's approach is very much aligned with the TrailMark's HOA. The Board wants me to enforce regulations proactively, so no one has to call and complain about their neighbor. They want me to work with residents to remedy their violations before fines must be imposed. They want me to be available and helpful with questions and concerns. They want me to make sure we are fair and equitable. They want me to follow through with open cases until they are resolved. They want me to mediate and explain the practical and objective side of enforcement. They sometimes ask for my professional advice based on my experience, knowledge, education, and how other communities handle these situations (trust me, TM is not unique). They don't always like what Angie, or I have to tell them, but it's the law, and until the rules change, it has to be that way. Working in this industry for over 30 years, I can tell you that you are lucky to have such a wonderful place to live, work, and play. I also deal with the worst of the worst in municipal government through code enforcement. I try to help property owners who must deal with terrible unsightly and unmaintained properties surrounding them with awful looking junk yards, additions, colors, treehouses, shed, decks, etc. They tell me all the time if only they chose the covenant-controlled community, something they didn't think they wanted, and thought was intrusive and overbearing. Well, they are now dealing with terrible neighbors who do not care about anyone but themselves. They hate coming home to the mess they have to look at next door or down the street. They want to sell and get out, but their realtor has told them that they have to lower their value significantly because of the property next door. The one with all of the debris, large campers and trailers, the peeling paint, broken shutters, crumbling tree house, sagging porch, purple hand railing, Denver Bronco themed garage door, falling fences, and dead landscaping. All things I cannot help them with unless they have covenants and a Board willing to be proactive and remediation driven. Your community is wonderful because of all the rules and deterring fines you have in place and the enforcement behind them, not despite them. I don’t usually get personal in my emails but I am the President of my HOA for most of 25 years. I would be really upset if I had residents distributing false and inflammatory information about the Board and its activities. Unless residents have taken the time to attend every meeting and be a part of every conversation, no one can possibly know or understand the hard work and effort it takes to meet all expectations and try to please everyone at the risk of pleasing no one. I've attached the latest enforcement report for your convenience. As you can see by the report that is available to everyone at every meeting the numbers provided by one of residents must not be TrailMark's numbers but maybe from another community? I don’t believe the City has imposed fines like that either so my guess is as good as yours. Always feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns or need good reliable information. Have a great day. Susie Code/Covenant Compliance 303.422.4473 
A Message from the City of Littleton
The TrailMark HOA is pleased to share a message sent by the City of Littleton. It is evident that your Board’s efforts are recognized and appreciated by the City of Littleton. Your HOA Board works diligently with our homeowners, residents and partners to keep TrailMark a unique and desirable community in which to live. The HOA has detractors who, with little or no effort to work with the Board, make unwarranted, incorrect, and nasty accusations and comments on social media. Be assured, your Board labors to rise above the fray, and work on your behalf. View message from the City of Littleton Posted October 28, 2020 Electronics Recycling and Dumpster Event a Success!
The recycle and dumpster event was a huge success. Thank you to all the homeowners who came out with items and thank you to the HOA Board for making it happen. After a great idea by resident Nancy Yanasak for an electronics recycle and dumpster day event, the Board took the idea and made it happen. Thank you to Nancy and her husband for all the help the day of the event (they helped many of you unload your goods!). Also, a big thank you to Board members Sally Janssen, Amy Howard, Mary Kreeger, and Bill Kuenning for lending helping hands at the event also. Board candidate Phil Kinney stopped by to help manage traffic too. Susie Ellis, with CPS, was on hand to help unload cars and direct traffic too! The event was such a success and many homeowners were able to unload items they had spent much of the pandemic cleaning out from the basement! Be on the lookout for future recycling events and dumpster days!
Note: There were a few residents who, in the dark of night, dumped their non-acceptable items for the HOA to deal with. We set up a nice service for the Community, and everyone was wonderful except for these few residents. Those who felt that unloading their ILLEGALLY DUMPED items off on the rest of us are the people who will cause events like these to be reconsidered in the future. The HOA incurred additional expense to rent a truck to haul off those excess items that were either heaved into the dumpster and had to be removed, or were piled around the dumpster. Furthermore, paint cans were dropped off, requiring a Sunday trip to gather the cans and properly dispose of them. This is intended to be a reoccurring service for our residents. Please, support the service and don’t abuse it. Hover over a photo for a caption. Photos by Sally Janssen

UPCOMING EVENTS
TRAILMARK EVENTS AND COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS - UPDATED
TrailMark will continue to offer social events to contribute to our sense of community. As previously published, with the COVID-19 pandemic, these events will continue provided all participants do so in a safe, responsible manner. This means observing social distancing and wearing face coverings.
We understand that some may feel uncomfortable attending these events given the uptick in COVID cases. However, if you wish to participate you must agree to “play by the rules” – Participants must wear a face covering and observe 6-foot social distancing between family units.

• Children ages 2 and under should NOT wear masks or cloth face coverings.
If you’re comfortable, come out and enjoy yourself – listen to some summer music and/or indulge in food truck offerings. If you are concerned with being in a crowd, or are uneasy about participating, please stay home.
Please be reminded that the TrailMark HOA assumes no responsibility for any illness caused by attending our events. If families, including children, do not observe social distancing and wear face coverings, you will be asked to leave.

Line up along Holland Street, across from Hogback Hill Park, before 6:30pm (bonus points for decking out your car!). A festive lead car will start the parade at 6:30 pm and lead us through a route that will hit as many decorations as possible. If you don't want to drive the route, you can watch the cars go by along the route (still to be determined and advertised a few days before the event). GET ON THE MAP! Get your holiday decorations up and fill out this google form by December 6th to get on the map! We will do our best to hit as many houses on our route as possible! If we miss you on the parade route, this map can be used by families at their own leisure! HOA BOARD MEETING
