PLEASAN- T- About 100 property owners and their families arrived at North Sanpete High School to attend the Aspen Hills Owners Association annual meeting. A reception was held for about an hour, during which time, many sat in small groups and engaged in conversation, it became apparent that not all the property owners were happy. Aspen Hills has been a development in phases for the last 20 years. Apparently the phases have been moving very slowly and the delays were creating tension. Aspen Hills Owners Association (AHOA) was formed in 1992 to help protect property owners, many of whom reside on other counties and just come for recre- Several sixth grade students from Fairview Elementary recently attended a rigorous National Guard Training Course at Camp Williams.

PRESS ASSN N peared. AHOA Board Member, Ray Winn, opened the meeting with a welcome and stated that because of unforeseen circumstances not all topics could be discussed. A challenge had been filed concerning a group of proxies that had expired at midnight the meeting took place. No voting issues could take place at this annual meeting. Ray Winn gave an administra- befme tive update on records of AHOA which was followed by a financial report given by Rich Barker. More than 300 owners refused to pay association dues. These negligent owners were taken to court and their lots were seized by AHOA. The financial assets of Aspen Hills currently are $78,964.74. Jeff Hansen followed with an environmental report. It was decided that water should be controlled by AHOA. Litigation has been filed against Birch Creek Irrigation Company. Henry Bryce discussed the roads and maintenance with $164,395 spent on road maintenance. In addition, some signs have been placed at intersections, culverts have been installed, grading has been done and a gate has been installed on the west end. Jeff Hansen raised the question of security. Aspen Hills is private property, and it does have locked gates. Hansen encouraged property owners to make sure gates are kept locked. Members wanted a vote to raise association dues, but Attor Stone would not allow a vote. There were questions specifically concerning Nic Robertsons Legacy Mountain. This issue is in litigation, and litigation is in the "discovery" phase. There was no further comment. ney Several property owners complained that their lots had been abused by other property owners. The Sheriffs Office suggests that property owners file a private damage report. Some property owners were concerned about sheep and cattle grazing on their property. Ranchers claim that grazing rights in this area have been reserved through a lease. Attorney Stone said they were investigating it. Some had questions about garbage piling up on property, although each property owner is responsible for their own garbage. Attorney Stone claimed that a special meeting is needed, issues need to be voted on, but AHOA has never been through a special meeting process. The meeting concluded with the atmosphere of never having taken place, since nothing could be voted on, property owners engaged in a shouting match with the AHOA. The meeting was never adjourned. ra one-on-on- SW FV seniors FAIRVIE- W- Senior citizens will hold their monthly potluck dinner this evening.
