general manager's report

What a winter this year! As discussed at the end of the President’s Perspective, the abundance of snow and storms this year has produced many challenges for our staff on seemingly a daily basis. I’d like to thank them for their tremendous dedication to keep the Recreation Center open and operating, as well as to every member & guest that was able to make the trek to the Rec Center this winter. As we move through winter and spring, here are a few additional updates and community reminders:

2023 NPOA Annual Assessments

By the time this spring issue has been published, hopefully all homeowners have now paid the 2023 Annual Assessment. As of the first week of March, over 98% of members have paid the 2023 assessments in full. As the assessments are the primary source of income for NPOA, thank you very much to the large majority of our membership that have paid the assessment on time.

Spring Maintenance Week

We have tentatively scheduled this year’s spring maintenance week for the week of May 1st. As in years past, when we close the Recreation Center for one week in the spring and one week in the fall, our staff is able to deep clean the facilities and complete any reserve projects that may otherwise affect daily operations. In years prior, we have been able to replace flooring, projects on spas that require them to be shut for several days, roofing projects, etc. These time periods are very helpful to allow time to prepare for the summer and winter seasons, so thank you to all of our members and their guests in advance for your continued understanding and cooperation.

NPOA Parking Lot Reminder

We would like to remind all our members of the NPOA Parking Lot Policy. Specifically, the NPOA parking lot is available for use for those actively using the NPOA Recreation Center. We understand its awesome proximity to the mountain creates the temptation to park in this lot to go skiing. However, there are only 40 parking spots and it was never the intent of this parking lot to accommodate skier parking for 1,480 residences. Thus, parking for skiing is not permitted.

The parking lot is monitored 24/7. Courtesy notices regarding the parking policy are being posted on vehicles. Any abuse will escalate to violations being logged and addressed, including but not limited to, notices to a hearing to discuss potential monetary fines and access cards being deactivated for repeat offenders. Please help us maintain the intended use of the parking lot for members & guests who wish to enjoy the Recreation Center.

STR Hotline Number

The Placer County Short-Term Vacation Rental Program requires all residential units with rentals 30 days or less to obtain a Short-Term Rental (STR) permit. Anyone operating or advertising an STR without an issued permit will be subject to penalties from Placer County. The Placer County STR Compliance Division maintains a 24/7 hotline number for community members to report violations related to noise, trash, etc. at a short-term rental. For the quickest response, call 530.448.8003 to report an STR violation. Additionally, complaints can be filed via email to strcompliance@placer.ca.gov. When reporting an issue, make sure to include your name, phone number, address of the property you are reporting, and a description of the issue. Keep in mind that Placer County maintains confidentiality in all complaints, and their staff will not address a complaint that is made anonymously. Detailed information regarding STR permits is available on the Placer County website. For any issues not involving short-term renters, continue contacting Placer County Sheriffs office either through the non-emergency contact, 530.886.5375, or of course 911 in emergency situations.
