As many are aware, RVRMA is governed by the RVRMA Executive Board, which consists of seven members. RVR's management team takes care of day-to-day operations; the Board’s role is more sharply focused on strategy, policy and governance.
According to RVRMA By Laws, board members serve a three-year term and there are no term limits. Every year, a portion of RVRMA Board Member terms expire. This summer two board member terms will expire including, Board President, Mike Banbury and Board Director, RJ Spurrier. If these board members are interested, they may continue to serve and can do the same as any other homeowner: declare their candidacy. The deadline for doing so is Friday, June 7.
For homeowners who are interested in declaring their candidacy for an upcoming vacant board seat, they can do so by filling out a Statement of Interest here.
*As a point of clarity, while the community elects board members, specific appointments such as the Board President are determined by the board at their July meeting.

Crystal River Restoration Project |
This spring, crews returned to Riverfront Park to plant native riparian vegetation and install temporary irrigation and wildlife fencing. All installations were done by hand to minimize disturbance. The park is currently open to the public. The Town of Carbondale anticipates removing both the irrigation and fencing in 1 - 3 years as vegetation establishes.

Green Tip | Electric Vehicles |
|
|
We all know that electric vehicles (EVs) can help reduce emissions, improve fuel economy, and lower fuel costs. Are you considering an EV but don't know where to start? An EV is likely in your future - learn about this clean, efficient, and affordable way to get around. Clean Energy Economy for the Region (CLEER) is sponsoring a family friendly Plug It In EV Road Show this First Friday in Carbondale in the parking lot behind Town Hall from 4-7 p.m. You can stop by to test drive new and used cars and e-bikes, talk to EV owners and dealer reps, and get advice from local clean-energy nonprofits on how to take maximum advantage of tax credits and other incentives. So come on out, kick some tires, and learn about going electric!

Long Range Planning
Vote Passes
|
The recent vote on the proposed special assessment has concluded and the majority of the community has voted in favor of the initiative.
The vote results are as follows:
|
- Total number of lots/units who cast a vote: 383 (69% of all voters)
- Number of "Yes" votes: 251 (66% of those who cast a vote)
- Number of "No" votes: 132 (34% of those who cast a vote)
- Number of lots/units who did not cast a vote: 169
|
| |
|
In order to pass, we needed a simple majority of “Yes” votes, with at least 60% of all properties participating (to meet a quorum). We have exceeded the quorum threshold with 69% of all properties participating in the vote. 66% of voters authorized the special assessment, representing a majority. As a result, the special assessment is hereby authorized.
The approved special assessment amount is $5,500 per lot or unit. Please note that the collection of this assessment is being carried out through a separate invoice, which has been sent to your email on record with the HOA. The invoice will come to you directly from RVR's QuickBooks account. The invoice will have information regarding payment details inclusive of auto-pay options. You will have the option to make either a partial payment (1/2 of the assessment) or the full payment on or before October 1, 2024. If you are splitting up the payment, the second half of the amount owed is due on or before August 1, 2025. However, we want to emphasize that you are free to make the payment at any time that is convenient for you before the due date.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the special assessment or the payment process, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to assist you and provide any necessary clarifications.
