Why are we in South Suburban Recreation District and not Foothills?
South Suburban has a intergovernmental agreement to manage the recreational facilities for The City of Littleton. The Board met with representatives from both South Suburban and Foothills District to discuss the requirements for the HOA to switch to Foothills. The requirements to accomplish this are extremely high. Therefore, the Board members agreed to not pursue the issue further. Editors note: Through a special agreement, TrailMark has been included in the Foothills District since January 2017. https://www.ifoothills.org/trailmark/
Who should I contact for any community landscape, open space, pond or trail issues?

Can we move the northern exposure MBU's?
This requires approval by the U.S. Postal Service.
Can we install light poles next to the mail box units (MBU's) around the neighborhood?
In the early stages of neighborhood development, the location of light poles and MBU's are determined by Xcel Energy and the U.S. Postal Service, respectively. Both entities employ specific criteria when determining where these items are located (proximity to homes, number of homes in the surrounding area, convenience for mail route carriers, etc.). The Association, in most cases, does not own the land on or adjacent to the MBU's, so they are not free to install light poles at the MBU's. The availability of power for this purpose could also be an issue. The Association evaluated whether an alternate fixture, mounted directly to the MBU, powered by solar energy or batteries would be feasible. However, the cost for and monitoring the operation of such fixtures may outweigh the benefit.
How can I participate in the recycling program?

Can speed bumps be installed on TrailMark Parkway or South Independence Street?

Can the HOA purchase the proposed school site for various uses?
