Oracle FEBRUARY 2018

. WHERE’S MY BALLOT?

Ballots in the Mail February 5 Please follow carefully instructions for casting your ballots contained in your election materials. Ballots should be mailed to the Inspectors of Election in the pre-addressed envelope provided. Remember to attach postage! Ballots may be dropped in a ballot box at La Palma (near the mailroom window) where you will be able to deposit your ballot (without postage). The box will be secured by a lock with the only key in the possession of the Inspectors of Election. This year, ballots may also be turned in to the Inspectors of Election during a registration period from 10:00 am to 10:30 am on March 9th, at La Palma when the Annual Meeting is called to order and the polls will close. Ballots will not be accept- ed after 10:30 am when the ballot tabulation will begin. However, early voting is encouraged so that we may outreach to owners if necessary to insure a quorum is reached. We need approximately 606 ballots cast in order for this to be a valid election. Elections are an expensive endeavor, so….

If you do not receive your ballot, it gets lost or destroyed, you may obtain a replacement ballot from Susan in the Board Room. If you did not request to have your ballot mailed to

you here at ORPS, it would have been mailed to your permanent address of record. If so, before requesting a replacement ballot, please allow enough time for your mail to get forwarded to you here at ORPS, if you have mail-forwarding service.

Vote...and Vote Early

2018 ORPS ELECTION

This year, there are three openings on the Board of Directors and there are five outstanding owners who are Candidates: J OHN B OUDIN , D AVE D UTHIE , G REG F ARMER , K ATIE T ARABOCHIA and T ED W ILSON . Their Candidate Statements are printed on the following pages. Remember, you have three votes for three positions and one ballot for each lot owned. Your ballot materials will include a second ballot asking for your authorization to annex property to the Association, as required by Section 16.2 or our CC&Rs. Accordingly, your approval is necessary to proceed with the purchase of property from the Coachella Valley Water District that will provide us access to a dog park and relief station that is to be constructed by the developers of the marijuana growing facility on our west boundary. This is an opportunity to enhance our dog facilities for current and future owners and their pets. This has been identified as a high priority for many of our owners and the Board has been exploring all options available to us for several years. See p. 7 for a full explanation of the Annexation Proposal.
