Hello to those of you in attendance at the AGM and interested in a property tax appeal. I apologize I was not better prepared with handouts. My arm cast of seven weeks had just been removed. I have made notes of specific suggestions to help with appeals based on our experiences. If interested, I would send these to you via email. Request a copy by sending to: oldbushpilot@icloud.com Hoping it may be helpful. Linda B.

This is the message to the board regarding the Children's Holiday Party: "A guest is a guest, who decided if someone walks through the door and does not live in Snowline that that person should not pay? You are spending rental fees on parties for whom you want."
Once again, people do not have the facts, yet feel the need to spout their negative rhetoric.

And so it continues. It has been suggested that we should charge for guests. I let this member know that she is welcome to bring her guests/renters and that there would be no charge.
This event is held for children! It would be appreciated if people with nothing constructive to say kept their rude comments to themselves.
I spoke at the AGM yesterday because I wanted to better understand comments from you, Marcel and others about not returning to the board or volunteer roles due to growing negativity.
As a second-generation member and former board member, I’m genuinely concerned about the hostility, aggression and criticism directed at volunteers. It’s disheartening to see this behavior pushing away long-time volunteers who have given so much of their time, talent, and positive energy to support and strengthen our community.
I don’t have an easy answer. Constructive feedback is always welcome, but constant complaints and personal attacks don’t strengthen our community. Some individuals repeatedly criticize, assume negative intent, and rarely offer to help or contribute positively.
We teach our kids to stand up to bullies in school — maybe it’s time we do the same here in our HOA. We can't ignore bad behavior — people need to be held accountable.

For those of you who attended the AGM remotely, apologies if it took a while to get things going. Unfortunately, I was doing double duty, grilling the sausages since 9 AM and organizing the IT side of the meeting. I had to head back to my cabin to get extra cables and gear to connect the phone in the room.
So, apologies if folks had to attended a "meeting in mime.". Again, not intentional, just too many balls in motion.

The AGM just closed and it was stated that there would be no online voting for board members as there were less than 9 nominees, but also motions were voted in the room rather than online. The AGM package sent out specifically stated voting would be online. There was no opportunity to collect proxies this year because of online voting. People who might have normally provided their vote via proxy are now disenfranchised because there is no online vote. I would suggest adding any motions that were made and voted on during the AGM and follow through with the voting online as promised in the AGM package. It likely won't change any results, but it would follow what was promised to the ownership in the AGM package.
Ken, Geoff, in case you missed it, I encourage you and anyone with questions to review their AGM packet. In particular the 1st page, where RCW 64.90.525 is referenced. Compliance with Washington State Law needs to be ensured.

If you are reading this post, you can see that the accusations claiming the board was sabotaging or censoring the forum are completely unfounded. The member who made these claims did so without having the facts, which is unfortunately becoming a common trend.
In reality, WIX, the platform used to create the SnowlineCC website, has removed support for forums. All posts on the forum were treated equally, whether they came from a community member or a board member. There was no censoring or sabotaging.
The forum was updated within a few days of this unexpected change by a member who generously volunteered his time to help the community. All posts are now visible again unless removed by the person who originally posted them. This situation was out of our control, and it was addressed as quickly as possible.
In the future, I encourage members to seek clarification or offer assistance…

Hello community,
Just a word of caution. I have at least 8 instances of the snowline employee, Evan, acting aggressive, threatening and even violent in manner towards members and guests. The board is doing their best to hide these actions but many, many members have had the misfortune of having this happen. Many have been reported to the board but only certain members will be taken seriously.
I want everyone to be safe and enjoy their time in Snowline. An employee threatening physical assault towards members should never be tolerated, but the board is not taking any actions. Please be careful around Evan and document every encounter.
Please reach out if you would like more information. Stay safe!
Thank you for sharing your concerns.
I want to reiterate that the safety and well-being of all Snowline residents, guests, and staff is a top priority. Allegations of aggressive or threatening behavior are taken seriously and handled with appropriate care and diligence.
Please know that the Board is legally and ethically obligated to handle all personnel matters with confidentiality. While we may not be able to share specific disciplinary or investigative details, this does not mean concerns are ignored. Every formal report submitted to the Board is reviewed and addressed in accordance with our policies and obligations.
To date, only one formal accusation of improper behavior involving a staff member has been submitted to the Board by a community member. That matter was reviewed in full; however, based on the available information, the allegation could not be substantiated.
It’s important to note that the Board can only act on concerns that are reported through proper channels and supported by specific, factual information. If residents have experienced or witnessed concerning incidents, we strongly encourage them to email written reports including dates, times, locations, names of those involved, and a clear description of what occurred to president@snowlinecc.com .This is essential to allow for a fair and thorough review.
In support of accountability, clarity, and continuous improvement, the Board has taken the following proactive steps to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all:
Reiterated expectations around professionalism and respectful communication with all staff.
Reviewed and updated internal procedures related to member and guest interactions.
Implemented a new recording policy for direct staff-resident interactions (where legally permissible):
In compliance with Washington State law (RCW 9.73.030), which requires two-party consent, staff will inform individuals at the beginning of any conversation that it is being recorded.
All parties must verbally consent before the conversation continues.
These recordings will be used exclusively for training and issue resolution purposes.
Installed additional security cameras in key common areas, which serve as both a safety measure and a resource for reviewing any reported incidents.
Exploring additional training opportunities to further support effective and respectful communication among staff.
While we welcome input from all community members, we also ask that concerns be communicated responsibly and directly to the Board. Making public, unverified accusations can unintentionally create unnecessary fear or division and hinder efforts to resolve issues appropriately.
We remain committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment here at Snowline and appreciate everyone’s cooperation and engagement in helping achieve that goal.

Update: for those searching online sites for comparable sales to use for appeal, it appears that realtor.com has dropped some 2024 sales. Perhaps stick with zillow.com to save yourself some time. LB
