ANNUAL MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT: JULY 12, 2008 @ 10:00 AM
Please join us in Cascade Park on July 12, 2008 for the Wilderness Rim Association Annual Meeting.Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. and the meeting starts at 10:00 a.m. Refreshments will be served. Your participation is encouraged and your vote can make a difference. If you can’t join us at the meeting, please fill out your proxy vote and return it to the WRA office by June 30, 2008.
Annual Assessment
This year we are asking you to vote to increase the annual assessment from $60.00 a year to $80.00 a year. The assessment was $50.00 from 1987 to 2005 at which time it was increased to $60.00 a year. As you all know from having to live within your own budgets, everything costs more these days. Due to inflation and increased costs, we have no choice but to ask for this increase in order to maintain the services provided for the park and for the day to day expenses of the association. We wouldn’t ask for this increase if it wasn’t absolutely necessary.
Refund on park clean up assessment B
In March, homeowners received a refund from WRA Special Park assessment B because the bids for clean up came in much lower than anticipated. The money was earmarked specifically for storm damage clean up and the excess amount was returned to homeowners when the project was completed.
Security Patrol Special Assessment
Once again, one of the issues on this year’s Annual Meeting ballot is a special assessment for the sole purpose of hiring security personnel to patrol Wilderness Rim. The cost of the special assessment for the patrol will be $27.50. We will have a representative from the King County Sheriff’s Dept available at the Annual Meeting to answer your questions.
