The Alta Sierra Property Owners Association is a community-based organization located in the foothills of Northern California. Not far away are the communities of Grass Valley and Nevada City, both part of Nevada County. The Association (A.S.P.O.A.), a not-for-profit organization made up of volunteers, has served the Alta Sierra community since 1971. It is governed by an elected Board of Directors, consisting of nine members and several standing committees, which establish and administer its policies and programs.

The ASPOA Board of Directors met at 9:00 am on Mar 1, 2010, at the Alta Sierra Country Club. Board members discussed a number of topics.
The ASPOA Board has settled on Thursday April 15th for our 2010 Town Hall Meeting, to be held at the Alta Sierra Country Club. Some organizations represented will be: Sheriff, CHP, Firesafe Council, and Environmental Health.
We listened to a presentation by Assistant Planners for Nevada County concerning Nevada County developed and undeveloped trail areas. The best time for trails is during new area property development. The planning organization will be partnering with various groups as they’re ready to develop new trails.
Scotch Broom Removal Day is April 3rd, for the Thiessen Trail (corner of Alta Sierra Dr. and Dog Bar Rd). Volunteers are needed. More detailed information is in this month’s Alta Sierran.
Yard Waste Removal Weekend is scheduled for May 22-23. More detailed information is in this month’s Alta Sierran.
Another upcoming ASPOA activity was discussed – the annual ASPOA Picnic, at the Alta Sierra Country Club on Sunday June 6th, fro approximately 3:00 – 6:00.
The ASPOA Board discussed various options for a third entrance to Alta Sierra, on E. Lime Kiln. A specific plan was agreed to, and the committee is ready to begin executing the plan. Look for a lovely new entrance taking shape soon.
Several board members and directors are stepping down after three years of service to the community:
>> Al Schafer, President
>> John Noone, Propane director
>> Donna Lee, Youth coordinator
>> Karen Robbins, Secretary
>> Rich Daniels, Treasurer
The community thanks them, and those directors who are staying on, for their service.
The accomplishments over the last three years are many:
• Redesigned front entry on Hwy. 49 and Alta Sierra
• New rock sign and landscaping at Dog Bar and Alta Sierra
• Neighborhood watch revitalized and expanded
• 8% increase in membership
• Alta Sierran newspaper revamped
• Annual Membership Picnic reinstated
• Donations to youth programs
• Yard waste program
• Negotiated reduced pricing with Ferrellgas for members
The $25 membership fee to the ASPOA is a small price to pay for the above services, the savings offered by being a member are far greater. Join the ASPOA and consider filling one of the vacancies on the board.

The Alta Sierra Homeowners Association (ASPOA) is an incorporated entity which was created in 1971 to promote, preserve, and beautify the area referred to at that time as the Alta Sierra Development. Nearly 40 years old, the volunteer-run organization is also charged with the enforcement of deed restrictions.
The Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&R’s).
ASPOA has also incorporated the “Architectural Review Committee,” which was established by the State in 1968, to oversee the general quality of residences and grounds in the area.
ASPOA does not look for problems, but responds to concerns voiced by our residents. We have established communications with most County agencies to assist in regulating violations.
ASPOA has accepted the responsibilities of collecting debris from many of our roadways, of picking up deer carcasses, of removing yard waste to reduce fire hazards, of installing attractive entryways, of editing a monthly newspaper and Web site to support local communications, and providing other services that are enjoyed by our residents, whether members of ASPOA or not.
Directors and chairpersons meet on the first Monday of the month at the Alta Sierra Country Club conference room at 9 a.m. All residents are invited to participate.
