I received the email below as I currently live in Alta Sierra. I have been a member of it's ASPOA since moving into the subdivision many years ago. The annual fee has been raised by 62% for the 2012-13 calendar year over the previous. While I know the cost of life on a whole has gone up, I did not realize it had escalated to this level. The list of benefits for being a member were pulled from the Association's website (aspoa.org) and pasted below. The benefits out weight the added expense therefore I will be joining the association again. Thank you to the volunteers who take care of the things we do not see on a daily basis.
Benefits for being a member:
Reduced propane costs from Ferrellgas
Maintaining the CC&R’s of Alta Sierra
The Alta Sierran Newspaper
Architectural Review Committee
Dead Deer removal
Road Clean-up & neighborhood improvements
Artistic landscaping at the four entrances
Fire Safety & Evacuation Plan
Neighborhood Watch Program
Youth Activities and sponsorship of local teams
The ASPOA Web Site (www.aspoa.org)
Maintenance of Hiking Trails in Alta Sierra
Annual yard waste clean-up day – plus Scotch Broom removal
Annual picnic and special events (holiday golf cart parade)
As a member, I do purchase my propane from Ferrellgas (530.823.0607, ferrellgas website) and I do find the savings to be of benefit to warrent the 62% increased in the membership fee.
