| New Rain Barrel LawOn Aug. 10 a new rain barrel law went into effect in Colorado. The new law allows homeowners to collect rainwater from their downspouts. The Ken-Caryl Ranch Master Association Architectural Committee, in accordance with the state law, added the following rain barrel rule to our Home Improvement Rules, Guidelines and Information: “Rain barrels may be installed to collect for outdoor purposes. A total of 110 gallons may be collected in a maximum of two containers. The rain barrels must also be compliant with Colorado law. Homeowners are required to submit their plan to the Architectural Committee for review.” To submit for review, fill out the Home Improvement Form. It is important to note that due to the small amount of rainfall in our climate, impurities such as bird droppings, dust and roofing material can accumulate in the containers. Filtering and screening out contaminants before they enter the storage container can help to mitigate this problem. The Colorado law does require that the container be equipped with a sealable lid.

| Town Hall Budget MeetingThe Town Hall Budget Meeting of the Ken-Caryl Ranch Master Association and Metropolitan District is Tuesday, Sept. 6 at 6 p.m. at the Ranch House. The meeting is being held in conjunction with the September Joint Study Session. This meeting signifies the beginning of the annual budget preparation process and is the first opportunity for residents to provide input for the 2017 budgets. To give you an idea of what goes into the budgets, you can review the 2016 budgets for both organizations on the Budgets & Reports page on our website. For questions or to submit feedback, contact Master Association Executive Director Chris Pacetti at chrisp@kcranch.org or Metropolitan District Manager Darrell Windes at darrellw@kcranch.org.
