RRC Community Space - Donations Needed!

/

Rimrock Cove community,

The RRC Community Space Committee has been working diligently to create an outdoor area that everyone can enjoy and cherish. We are focused on developing a space that is not only practical but also inviting, offering shelter from various weather conditions while remaining simple and easy to maintain.

With your support, we can transform our vision into reality. The funds we raise will allow us to establish a welcoming environment that fosters connection and appreciation within our community for years to come. Imagine gathering with friends, hosting events, or simply enjoying a quiet moment outdoors in a beautiful setting designed for all.

With major infrastructure projects consuming the majority of our reserve funds we have been looking for a way to allow this project to progress in a timely manner. As a community at the annual meeting we voted to raise the funds through direct donations. Every contribution, no matter the size, will bring us closer to achieving this goal. Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a lasting impact on our community.

Annual Meeting, Bake Sale, Events, Miscellaneous Notices

/

Rimrockers,

On the 24th we will have the Annual Meeting at 10:00 a.m. and the bake sale. With a Poker Walk on Sunday from 7pm to 8:30.

We need donations for the bake sale. You can either bake something or buy sweets from one of the local stores. The bake sale will again be set up in the Orchard and you can leave your donations in the office the day before or have them in the Orchard by 9:00 a.m. All proceeds will benefit the events for the year.

The Poker Walk will again start in the Office/Conference room. It still costs just a dollar to play and you get a nice walk and a chance to visit with friends. 

Bishop will be spraying for spiders soon. If you want them to spray your place - call them at 509-760-4958. They will bill you after the spraying is done.

KJ is offering to weedeat your place every Thursday all summer for $48.78 including tax. Their Phone is 509-760-2420.

Office / Manager Residence Update

/

Dear Fellow Rimrockers,

We are delighted to announce that the New Office/Manager's Residence is now completed. We are very pleased with the results. The building will provide excellent office and meeting space for the RRC Owners Association, and an attractive residence for the Park Manager for decades to come. As we have noted in previous emails, this project could not have been accomplished without the efforts of many people who contributed much time and in some cases material.

The final cost of the project was 8.5% over the allocated budget. While the cost of the unit itself was in keeping with our estimate, the cost of professional help in siting the unit and connecting all of the utilities proved to be more expensive than anticipated despite the many contributions noted above.

The next phase of the project will be the design and creation of an attractive and functional communal area in front of the office/residence. This mostly covered space will provide a comfortable, relaxing venue for people to meet or simply "hang out" and an attractive entrance to the Park. We will be sharing design ideas as they are created for your feedback and suggestions. If you would like to be involved in the design process, please respond to board@rimrockcove.com. We are excited by the possibilities of this project.

Be sure to stop by the office to see the new spaces. We will also be holding an open house for viewing the residence in the morning before the annual meeting. Hope you can join us then.

Now bring on summer!

Managers Residence/RRC Office Update

/

The new manager's residence/RRC Office has arrived!  True, it is still in two pieces, but it is on site and will be installed over the next few weeks.  

A considerable amount of work has been done in preparation of the site.  We contracted with Villa homes for most of the site work and installation - note that state law requires us to use a certified installer.  Villa provided us with a $3000 discount for the old trailer which they removed.  They also completed excavation of the "pit", allowing us to install the unit close to ground level, and poured a concrete pad that will cover the bottom of the unit.  They dug the trench for the water supply as well.  We also hired an electrical contractor to reroute the electrical service for the unit and the patio area.

Huge thanks goes to Jim McKiernan who has devoted a great deal of time in soliciting bids, overseeing work, and pursuing the required permits.  Kudos as well to Randy Hill, Ray Hudlow, Bill Leonard, and Jim Malone who have pitched in to move all of this forward.  There have been a few glitches, most notably a broken water main that occurred because the original installation of the water main was not done in a straight line, but overall progress has been steady and predictable.

There is still much to be done.  The two halves need to be combined, set on blocks and tied down; water, sewer, and electrical need to be connected; skirting to be installed; and the two halves secured to each other both internally and externally.  We are in the process of encouraging ideas for the community patio area in front of the unit and will have some suggested plans to share sometime over the winter.

If you would like to keep track of the progress we will continue to post photos on the website:  Office Trailer Blog Post

We can all be very proud of this significant addition to RRC that will serve the park for many, many years to come.

All the best,

Board of Directors
