All residents will be receiving an annual packet the first week of February. Your annual packet will contain an agenda of the meeting, a proxy vote form, and a bio from each of the Board candidates. There will be one Board position up for election at the meeting. The candidates running are: Mark Jost and Ed Will. The upcoming February issue of the Village Reporter includes a Q&A with each candidate.

Please join us for this very important meeting to learn more about the activities of the Homes Association and the issues important to our community. If you cannot attend please be sure to send in your voting proxy per the instructions provided in the annual packet. For more information contact the CPHA at 303-814-1345.

If you are unable to attend the Annual Meeting, please return your proxy by either mailing it in the provided envelope or delivering it to the secured voting box in the Castle Pines Homes Association’s office at 688 Happy Canyon Road, Castle Rock, CO 80108.

We must have a quorum of one-tenth (1/10) of Class A voters (approximately 150 Homes Association members) to elect a board member, so it is very important that you return your proxy if you cannot be present on March 8, 2010.

Important Election Notice: Proxies for the Board Election must be mailed in the provided envelope or dropped off to the secure ballot box in the CPHA Office. Unlike previous years the Gates will not be accepting proxies.

Check Your Alarm Batteries! Low Temp Alarms & Vacation Checks - Monitored by ES
A good rule of thumb to help keep you and your family safe is to change out the batteries in your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors twice a year; a helpful reminder is to make the change when you change your clocks for daylight savings time. Freezing temperatures outside can in turn make your pipes freeze. A low interior temperature alarm will alert Emergency Services and an ES officer will come to your home to make sure that a pipe has not burst and flooding has resulted. A broken pipe and subsequent flooding damage can be easily prevented: if you are leaving town for an extended period of time please remember to NOT turn off your furnace. Simply lower the furnace to a minimum of 55 degrees. And last but not least, please visit the ES office and fill out a Vacation Check form so that we can monitor your home while you are away.

Carbon Monoxide Detectors Save Lives
Just as important as a smoke detector; a carbon monoxide detector can save lives by providing an early warning before the deadly gas builds up to a dangerous level. About 200 people die each year from CM poisoning associated with home fuel-burning heating equipment. Read More...
