Roads
- No snow has meant that no snow plowing has been required. One road sign is missing. Mark Doub will call Sandoval County to get a new sign installed.
One resident called about raising Forest Road 10. As the road is owned and maintained by the county, Doub called the county to request grading. Some emergency road repairs have been completed (fixing a major road hole).

Architecture
- One lot has been sold and needs a new member packet. A realtor requested SLPPOA grant a variance from property setbacks and construction on adjoining property, Unit 1 Lot .

McConaha will work to track property sales this year and inform new buyers about SLPPOA and the requirement to join the Association.
