 GPOA
GOLDFIELD RANCH PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION
The maintenance and improvement of existing roads in each of
the Goldfield Phases is the responsibility of the Goldfield Property Owners
Association under the direction of the GPOA Board of Directors. Goldfield Ranch
is divided into five separately platted subdivisions (Phases I, II, III, IV &
V). Each platted Phase has its own set of Declarations of Reservations
(commonly known as CC&Rs). Each of these sets of CC&Rs require owners within
that Phase to pay for road maintenance and improvements only in the Phase where
they own land. Some of the roads are common roads between Phases, and in those
instances the costs associated with maintaining and improving these common roads
are required by the GPOA Board to be shared between the benefited Phases.
Prior to the 2009 assessment year, the annual assessments were roughly $10 per
year for each acre owned by the members. The $10 per acre was typically enough
to cover the general and administrative expenses of running the Association, but
nothing was left over for road maintenance or road improvements. In 2008, the
GPOA Board made the decision to improve the condition of Goldfield’s roads
through, among other things, regularly scheduled grading. This resulted in
significant additional costs to the Association that were funded out of
Association reserves. For 2009 going forward the Board has established an
overall G&A budget applicable to all of the Goldfield Phases (on a per acre
basis) and a separate road improvement budget allocated among the Goldfield
Phases based upon the linear feet of shared and unshared roads to be maintained
with regularly scheduled grading.
How are road maintenance assessments to be established? The CC&Rs require the
annual assessment to be based upon an annual budget of estimated maintenance
costs maintaining the roads to standards and specifications as adopted by the
Association. Thus the assessment is computed after adopting standards and
specifications for road maintenance, and then computing the costs and
assessments necessary to achieve those standards.
