Snowline Board of Directors January Update

Winter greetings from the Snowline Board!

Reminder that annual dues of $1310 per lot are due by January 31, 2026. Snowline offers multiple payment options, including fee-free methods such as submitting a paper check or using bank bill pay. Electronic payments also remain available through the Member's Portal and include a processing fee for added convenience. 

As always, thank you to the community members who joined as guests at the January board meeting! The January meeting minutes are now posted in the Board Meeting Minutes section of the website. Washington State has modified HOA guidelines through SB 5129, which makes portions of Washington Uniform Common Interest Ownership Act (WUCIOA) applicable to all communities effective January 1, 2026. These changes include distributing meeting agendas 14 days in advance and reserving a 15-minute community comment period at the beginning of each meeting, with each member guaranteed at least 90 seconds to comment.
 

As before, we welcome anybody in the broader community who is interested in joining a committee to email us at comms@snowlinecc.com! Community members are also welcome to email us at this address and we will do our best to respond in a timely manner to support you and your needs. We are currently seeking volunteers for the following committees and groups:

1. By-Laws Working Group

2. Budget Committee

We are actively working on several community improvements, including, but not limited to:

1. Adding a puzzle exchange, replenishing pool cues and ping-pong paddles at the clubhouse, and extending clubhouse hours.

2. Extending Snowline WiFi coverage to the gate entrance.

3. Reducing processing fees for online payment of dues and fees.

4. Upgrading the gate and lock systems (including the pool, clubhouse, and other facilities).

5. Making an annual donation of $300 donation to Foothills Food Bank in Maple Falls as part of Snowline’s annual budget. This year, a frequent Snowline guest helped secure a $900 matching grant from the Gates Foundation. In addition, multiple board members are making direct contributions, bringing the total donation to over $5000 in support of the broader Glacier and Maple Falls communities. 

Thank You!

Jeff Boekelman (Member Communications - Treasurer/Social/IT), Kathleen Lange (President), Daniel Frederick (VP), Carmen Lystad (Secretary), Bob Anderson (Architecture), Kyle Salisbury (Operations), Rob McCormack (Rules, Regulations, & Compliance)
