| MA Board Adopts 2016 Budget; Dues Will Increase $2 Per Month in 2016At their November Business Meeting, the Ken-Caryl Ranch Master Association Board of Directors adopted the 2016 Budget. The new budget includes an increase in the monthly dues of $2 per month. If you pay your dues through your bank’s online bill pay, you will need to adjust the payment amount to $48 starting in January. If your dues are paid by automatic withdrawal through the Master Association’s Automated Clearing House (ACH) process, then you don’t need to do anything. The amount will be adjusted automatically starting with the January payment. The funding generated through the $2 increase will be used primarily to supplement projects being completed using bond proceeds such as: an extra 288 square feet to enlarge the Dakota Lodge addition in response to input received from the community that the planned addition was too small, and constructing a new marquee sign at the entrance to the Valley that is in keeping with the new sign family. If you have any questions, please contact Chris Pacetti at 303-979-1876, ext. 116, or chrisp@kcranch.org.

Construction Underway at Dakota Lodge and Community CenterMajor progress has been made on the bond project improvements at Dakota Lodge and the Community Center. Temporary walls were constructed at Dakota Lodge to separate the KC Nature Environmental Education classroom from the construction zone. Trees were cut down behind Dakota Lodge to prepare for the building addition. At the Community Center, the lower level is the first phase of construction. The racquetball court area will be raised using Geofoam to have one contiguous level of fitness facilities. Geofoam is a lightweight, cost-effective, long-lasting, strong and durable material.

Agreement with Foothills for Use of Ridge Rec Center and Peak Community & Wellness CenterThe Boards of Directors of both the Ken-Caryl Ranch Metropolitan District and the Foothills Park & Recreation District have renewed for 2016 an Intergovernmental Agreement that allows residents of Ken-Caryl Ranch to use the Foothills Ridge Recreation Center at Foothills resident rates. The Ridge is located at 6613 South Ward St. and offers users an indoor lap and separate leisure activity pool, a therapy pool, a gymnasium and track, a cardio weight room, racquetball courts, and a rock-climbing wall. Also, for a limited time while the KCR Community Center is being renovated, KCR residents may use the Cardio Circuit/Weight Room ONLY at the Foothills Peak Community & Wellness Center (across the street from the Ridge) at Foothills resident rates. As part of these agreements, KCR residents must get a special ID card issued by Foothills that will identify the user as a resident of KCR. ID cards that were issued to KCR residents in 2014 and 2015 are still valid for 2016. While ID cards issued by Foothills normally cost $5 per card charged to the user, there is no charge during the month of December. ID cards can only be obtained at the Ridge. Fees, facility hours, and other details are listed on the Foothills website at www.ifoothills.org/kencaryl.asp.

| Christmas Tree Sale Saturday
The annual Christmas Tree Sale will be held at the Dakota Lodge on Saturday, Dec. 5 from 8-10 a.m. A limited number of trees cut from forest management areas will be available to the public on a first come, first served basis. Rangers are requesting donations in exchange for the trees, and the donations will be used to offset expenses in the open space program. Mainly Douglas Firs and some Ponderosa Pines were cut two weeks before the sale, so they will be very fresh and fragrant for the sale.
