RRC Community Update - November 2025

/

Hello Rimrockers,

Another season is over, and a lot has been accomplished. We had our last board meeting of 2025 on October 18. The water tank project continues to proceed. The new manager, Jeff, is doing a great job and continuing to learn what challenges each new season brings. Here are some updates:

Fall election results:

  • The budget passed overwhelmingly. The $50 increase in dues goes 100% to reserves so we should be in good shape to finish the water tank and be ready for the other major expenses coming up. Thank you to the community for supporting the long-term financial health of RRC. As of the first of January, please make sure to update your autopay payments to the new $250/month amount.

  • Amending the bylaws to allow virtual meetings also passed overwhelmingly. The equipment is all set up in the community room. Please be patient as we perfect this technology to meet our needs with some trial-and-error video meetings before it becomes routine. Remember, the bylaw change makes it acceptable to have video meetings but not a requirement.

Water tank project:

  • The water tank project is continuing to proceed. The excavator finished the first phase mid-October, and the concrete tank builder is scheduled to start on November 4th. The attached photo shows the tank pad after plumbing has been installed and compaction tests complete.

  • When the tank is completed the level control system will be installed and calibrated, the plumbing crossover will be done, and the tank/plumbing will be flushed and sanitized. We’ve been told it will take less than a day but be prepared to have no running water for two days. There should be no effect on your residence for those who are not here during this time.

  • The exact timing of completion is weather dependent and subject to the inspection schedule. Even though it’s taking longer than projected the results will be worth the wait.

Marina work parties:

  • The marina work parties on October 11th and 18th were well attended. Tie-up cleats were secured on all the docks, tires along the boat launch were secured and placed along the rocks and the jet ski beach parking area was cleaned up, recarpeted and new gravel placed. Thank you to everyone for getting involved!

Community/ Manager space:

  • Phase one is complete with two new shade structures and a fence separating the manager’s space. A huge thank you to everyone involved! This could not have been accomplished without generous financial donations, persistence of the design committee, Bill and Pene Pennebaker and the other volunteers who put in several hundred hours of their time to get these built with minimal expense to the park.

Again, thank you to everyone who dedicated their time, resources, and commitment to making RRC a great place to be!
