Winter Parking
Additionally, the board would like to remind everyone to observe the Parking Ordinance during snow conditions.
Snow Removal equipment may be operating day or night within the Ponderosa.
Please inform all your guests or renters that, per PCSD Ordinance 2005-1-S,
all vehicles must be parked off the Ponderosa community streets or they may be towed.
Snow Removal
The past 2018-2019 snow season produced a more significant snowfall than the Ponderosa area has seen for several years.
On average, over the past six snow seasons, we have been on track with our snow removal contract costs.
However during this past snow season the costs were significantly more than the revenues. This is a cause for concern because, though last season’s snowfall was above the recent average, it actually was well within the historical average for our area.
The board was required to use ‘reserve snow removal funds’ in order to continue the current level of snow removal service to the community.The treasurer has informed the board, that should we have one more season like the 2018-2019 season, the reserves will be completely depleted.
The snow removal rates have remained unchanged since July 1, 2015. The board has begun discussion of increasing snow removal rates. They are in the process of researching the historical costs of snow removal with the current contractor, High Sierra Snow Removal, and comparing that with anticipated costs in the future.
The board wants to hear from you. All suggestions and ideas are welcome. No rate changes can go into effect until there has been a public hearing, protest period, and public vote. Any changes in snow removal rates would not go into effect until July 1, 2021.
We want to hear from you!
