At the PPOA Board meeting on 5/4/2013, the PUD gave a presentation on the next 5 years budgets for the Park's water system which can be viewed by clicking here.  The new reservoir construction will begin in July, 2013.  The PUD's current plan is to abandon the old reservoir when the new is completed.  The Park had requested that the old reservoir be retained and the PUD prepared a proposal on the issues and costs involved in keeping it.  The proposal can be view by clicking here.

The 5 year budget includes a rate increase in every year.  The PPOA Board and attending members opposed the rate increase plus the reserve fund not being credited with interest.  The PUD commissioners will be meeting on Tuesday, May 28, 2013 at 3pm to approve or deny the rate increase.  The PPOA Board requests that all available members attend the commissioners meeting as a show of force to oppose the rate increase.

 

Richard LaValley, Gerry Zager and Mike Hay of the PPOA Board met with the Board attorney Brad Anderson on Monday Dec 3 after receiving a subpoena from Lisa Buffington’s attorney to furnish all documents that we have related to the Tom Lutz situation. We supplied those documents for Brad to forward as required. Our position is that the Association and the owners have rescinded permission for Lutz or his renters to use our roads for any purpose. Brad has prepared a letter for individual property owners to sign which rescinds permission for Lutz to use the easements across their individual properties. Please be aware that Mr. Anderson only represents the PPOA and the PPOA Board, he does not represent the individual PPOA owners.  This letter is posted on the web site under Documents. Please print the letter, sign and return it to PPOA, PO Box 988, Goldendale, WA 98620. All owners can sign a copy of this letter and it is very important that the owners along East Ponderosa between Tamarack and Pipeline and those along Tamarack sign this letter. Buffington is being sued for condemnation of the present Lutz access however that would seem pointless with the permission to use our roads withdrawn. You can view and print the letter by clicking here.
