Jasper Colorado Community

Just a friendly reminder that Jerry is off duty as caretaker for the summer season. Please be respectful of Jerry’s and Kevin’s time and privacy until the caretaker is under contract for the winter season. There are several weather apps out there that can give you a close approximation of the conditions in Jasper. I personally just look up Platoro Reservoir. Thanks for letting Jerry and Kevin relax and unwind after a busy winter. Kelly Curley Jasper Association

FYI…just a couple of public service announcements! 1. The caretaker, Jerry Sommers, is officially off duty for the summer season. Please give him and give Kevin Miller some time to decompress after a busy winter season. I know that both are willing to help their Jasper friends and neighbors, but the association’s contract with Jerry has expired for the season so he doesn’t “owe” us anything at this point. They have offered a variety of services in the past and should you need something done on your property feel free to contact them for a list of services and corresponding fees. 2. We are all excited to get back into the swing of enjoying our time in Jasper, but please remember a couple of items: •the speed limit through Jasper is 20 mph…car, truck, motorcycle, ATV, or any other mode of transportation…the speed limit is STILL 20 mph! Please make sure that you, your kids, grandkids, and guests are aware of this; none of us want to see injuries due to excessive speed •follow the fire restrictions in place 3. I’ve had a lot of questions and concerns about aggressive and/or vicious pets. If you bring your pets, and most of us do, it is your responsibility to ensure that your pet is not harassing people, other pets, or wildlife. If it becomes a problem, law enforcement can and will be contacted. Anyone can call and make that complaint, it doesn’t have to come from the association 4. Finally, soak up that high mountain fresh air, sunshine, and the company of friends and family in our own little slice of paradise. I apologize if the tone of this message comes across as aggressive; that is not my intention. I simply want to touch on issues that several property owners have raised over that past 9 months. As always, feel free to contact me or any other board member with questions or complaints. The annual association meeting will be at 1:00 PM on July 2, 2022, at the pavilion. The association will provide meat, paper goods, dining utensils, water and iced tea. We ask that those attending bring a side dish or a dessert. I believe we have 3 board members with expiring terms. I’ll verify that info and post more in the next week or so. Please consider running for a term on the board. We welcome new board members and value the different perspectives everyone brings to the table. Our ultimate goal is the continuing strength of the Jasper community, now and in the future! Enjoy your summer! Kelly Curley Jasper HOA

FYI… Rio Grande County is under a Stage One Fire Ban. Please follow all fire restrictions! We did have a fire about 10 days ago in Jasper. It was put out with no damage to trees or structures, but we might not get that lucky next time. Jasper residents need to know that outdoor fires in Jasper must be contained in an appropriate fire ring AND have a spark arrester or screen over the fire. No fires are allowed in Jasper without those requirements. Jasper residents and visitors must also follow ALL County, State of Colorado, and US Forest Service rules and restrictions. Those rules supersede Jasper HOA rules. NO ONE is exempt. Please don’t start fires, cooking or otherwise, on dry grass or around trees. We enjoy sitting around a campfire too, but it’s not worth risking life or property. I’ve included the actual fire ban and a visual chart put out by South Fork Fire. Be safe! Kelly Curley Jasper HOA
