From the Management Company
Please take note that changes have been made in how your dues will be invoiced for the TrailMark HOA. In recent years, coupon books were mailed to the homeowners who do not participate in ACH, to make their quarterly payments. In an effort to help improve efficiency and keep homeowners up to date on their balance with the HOA, your Board of Directors has agreed to let the management company issue quarterly invoices to each home. If you are on ACH, you will still receive an invoice to notify you of the withdrawal; you do not need to take action on the notice. If you wish to take part in ACH payments, please contact the management company. Thank you all for a wonderful year, and we are looking forward to an incredible 2019!

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.

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.
