LATEST NEWS:
Yes It Is Winter.
Yes we know that
the wind blows
snow on the roads.
No, we don't have
enough money to
run the equipment
to clear the roads
every time the wind
blows.
If you live out here
you must be self
sufficient enough to
be able to get
yourself out.
Don't rely upon the
Association to clear
the roads.
Equipment breaks
and money runs
out.
************************
Driveway Policy
The Board has voted to continue our
prior policy to clear driveways of
full-time residents when the snow
blower is clearing roads. In order to
have your driveway cleared, you must
send a check for $100.00 (for the
winter season) to TPRA at PO Box
817, Fairplay, CO 80449. You must be
sure that there are no objects in your
driveway, because if the blower picks
up an object in your driveway and
breaks the blower, you will be
responsible for the costs of repair.

UPDATE ON CATTLE LEASE:
As you probably know from reading
The Flume, Vern Wagner was found
guilty of not properly caring for the
cattle that he managed, and Judge
Groome entered a permanent
injunction against Wagner owning,
managing, or otherwise being
involved with cattle in Park County.
Our lease with Wagner ends on
December 31, 2012, but since he
cannot be involved with cattle, he is
unable to comply with the lease and
we will enter into a lease with another
rancher. It is important to note that
prior to the trial, the court released
funds to pay the back due amounts to
TPRA which amounted to $23,726.58.
So there are no past due amounts
from Wagner.
In 2011, we leased the west side of the
ranch to Rafael Esparza, with whom
we had no problems or complaints,
and who paid the amounts owed
when promised. The Board will enter
in negotiations with Esparza to see if
we can agree on terms for the entire
ranch. If we cannot come to terms,
we have been contacted by other
ranchers about possibly leasing the
ranch.
