The recent vote on the proposed special assessment has concluded and the majority of the community has voted in favor of the assessment.

 The vote results are as follows:

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 will be carried out through a separate invoice, which will be sent to you in the near future. 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.

*Please note, communication was sent yesterday noting different due dates for payments. To reiterate, you have the option 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.

Some may remember the family of foxes we had living near the RVR tennis courts years back. Margi Crawford was so kind to share some images that she captured of our wild and incredibly cute temporary neighbors. Thanks for sharing, Margi!

All courts are now open and available for play!

RVR Rec Pool Opens Monday, May 13!

We are excited to announce the rec pool will open early this year! The rec pool will be open and available to use during Ranch House hours starting WITHOUT lifeguards or snack bar staff. Pool use will be Swim at Your Own Risk, and the slide will not be operational.

Lifeguards will be on duty, and the slide and snack bar will be operational beginning Saturday, May 25.

Slide and snack bar hours will be 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. daily.

Ranch House hours will change to a nightly closure of 9 p.m., starting on Saturday, May 25.

Private and semi-private swim lessons will be available starting mid-June. We are finalizing instructor information and availability. Please check back in the next few weeks for more information.

As a reminder, if there is lightning or thunder, you will be asked to exit the lap lanes, rec pool, baby pool, and possibly the pool deck. Thank you for your cooperation in helping to keep our community and staff safe.

Thank you for following Colorado’s liquor control laws so we can continue providing beverages for residents and their guests!

We love pets, but only service animals are allowed in the Ranch House. This is determined by both the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Retail Food Establishment Rules and Regulations and the RVRMA Rules and Regulations (“Dogs or other pets are not permitted in the Ranch House or within the outdoor fenced area of the Ranch House property, except as determined by Americans with Disabilities Act.”).

World Migratory Bird Day is Saturday, May 11. Insects and their importance to migratory birds is the focus of this year’s global campaign. Insects are essential sources of energy for many migratory bird species during their journeys and greatly affect the timing, duration, and overall success of bird migrations. Birds play crucial roles in pollination and pest control, and a lack of insects disrupts these ecosystem functions. Ways we can help reduce the decline of their insect food source is to minimize light pollution at night and reduce the use of pesticides and herbicides in our yards. According to the Audubon Society, there are 5 species of migratory birds that seek out Colorado for the breeding season. They are the Yellow Warbler, Western Meadowlark, Cinnamon Teal, Say's Phoebe, and Spotted Towhee. So be sure to investigate those new flashes of color or unfamiliar bird songs in the coming month to celebrate our arriving feathered friends.

A kind reminder to RVR residents who are storing their deer fencing for the summer season: please make sure it’s stored out of sight from the street and from your neighbors.
