Our weather is typical for this time of year; we never knowjust what the temperature will be, so we have no choice but toroll with it. Here is what we do. If it’s a cold day we turn up the heat, put on some comfyclothes, grab some apples from the local farm. We sauté themwith a little butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, raisins and top them witha brown sugar crumble topping and get them in the ovento bake. This fills the house with sweet scents of apples andcinnamon. While that is cooking, we start with a big pot filledwith an organic chicken, carrots, celery, onion, jasmine rice, bayleaves, and an array of spices; don't forget the crusty bread andsome herb tea for a cozy meal. If it turns out to be a warm day, well chop up that chicken,add a little celery, apple, purple onion, mayo and a dash of salt,pepper and curry. Mix it all up and serve this summer salad ona lettuce leaf or some sourdough toast. A little fresh fruit on theside and a glass of cold mango tea and we are all set for theday. It’s time for health checks and, oh, not everyone wants a flushot so, if your feeling bad, please don't visit. Once you’re onthe mend, come visit and share all your good things – songs,stories, animals, children, plants, goodies. Just wanted to thank our local BVS residents for the nicedonations this month; they are very much appreciated.
We just put together a new butter cream for dry skin.Elbows, hands and heels are always spots that need extra care.Try this: two tablespoons of macadamia oil, two tablespoons ofnon-petroleum jelly, one tablespoon cocoa butter, one teaspoonbeeswax. Warm all of this in a pan until melted, remove fromheat and whisk for one minute. Add: 2 drops of chamomile,sweet orange, or rose oil, stir until smooth. Pour into a con-tainer with a cap. Let sit overnight. Be judicious with thequantity you apply, a little goes a long way.We love the scent and the creamy softness when applied toyour skin. Have a generator? Don't forget to get it running and beprepared forwinter in case ofpower failure. Can youguess wherethis café is?The answerwill be in theDecemberarticle.

The primary reason for the existenceof a Community Association or CommonInterest Development (CID) such as BearValley Springs Association (BVSA) is to“…preserve, protect and enhance…” the value and utility of thecommon areas and separate interests of every member orhomeowner. The BVSA annual assessment is an investment inthe common area facilities, amenities and member services,which contributes significantly to the value of the BVSA members’homes, property value and life-style. The reserve fund contributionis part of this annual assessment each year. For the 2013-2014fiscal year, the BVSA has a reserve contribution of $847,704 aspart of the Annual Assessment. The reserve fund (also called replacement fund) consists offunds put aside in reserve for the replacement of major compo-nents of a community’s common property. Typically, the reservefund might be used to replace asphalt paving, air conditioning andheating of common property buildings, swimming pools, tenniscourts, and many other varied property components. Funds raisedfor adding a major item that would be a major improvement wouldbe expensed through a special assessment or approved capitalproject or even through donated funds. Funds raised for replacingthat item when it deteriorates will come later from the reservefund. Major component items that either come with initial construc-tion or are added later are placed on a reserves replacementschedule. The schedule is framework for the accumulation andspending funds for replacing major components of theAssociation’s property. The funds are put aside over a period oftime to ensure that adequate amounts are available to replacecomponents when they need to be replaced either for deteriora-tion or technological improvements. The components, cost toreplace, and remaining useful lives of the components willdetermine your reserves for replacement. Until recently, community association’s referred to the replace-ment fund as “replacement reserves,” “reserves for replacement,”or just “reserves.” However, the Common Interest Reality Associa-tions Audit and Accounting Guide prepared by the AmericanInstitute of Certified Public Accountants for community associa-tions refer to these funds as a “Replacement Fund.”Reasons for Maintaining a Replacement Fund Because some items may not need to be replaced for severalyears, homeowners and homeowner association boards mayquestion the value of their contributions to the reserve fund. Here are some reasons for maintaining a reserve fund and theimportance of budgeting reserves for replacement. 1-Maintaining a replacement fund meets legal, fiduciary andprofessional requirements. A replacement fund is required by:� The Davis-Stirling Comment Interest Development Act, statestatues, regulations, or court decisions.� Any secondary mortgage market in which our associationparticipates, such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, VA.� Community Governing Documents. 2-Maintaining a reserve fund provides for planned replacementof major component items. Homeowners expect the communityassociation to fulfill its obligations. At some point in time, the workwill have to be done. 3-Maintaining a reserve fund equalizes the contributions of oldand new owners. Major component items deteriorate during use.Although a roof will be replaced when it is 25 years old, every

Having lived in Bear Valley Springs foronly a year when I joined the BVSABoard, I knew I had much to learn andmany people to meet. These last fewmonths of service have given me awealth of knowledge and understandingthat I couldn’t have obtained any other way. News that travelsthrough valley gossip and the old “grapevine” method is, at best,very incomplete and obscured, so I thank you all for this opportu-nity to see firsthand the extensive process required to maintainthis beautiful community. We are truly blessed to live here, andthere is really no other association like this. If you are not takingadvantage of our amenities, I strongly encourage you to do so.The BVSA offers something for everyone, and our costs areincomparably lower than other HOAs that offer so much less inreturn. Here are some items of interest discussed at our last Boardmeeting: We will be moving the Lending Library from the Oak TreeCountry Club Card Room to the Whiting Center Game Roomwhere it will be easier to access and available for extended hours.If you didn’t know that we have a Lending Library, I hope you willnow visit this collection in the Whiting Center and perhaps make adonation of your own books that are ready to be passed to newreaders. The BVSA Board also authorized a surveillance system tomonitor activity in the Whiting Center. The Bakko backboardshave been installed at the tennis courts, a solar-powered PAsystem has been installed at the Oak Tree Golf Course, and newtables are now in place at the Equestrian Center lounge. As a community, our greatest asset would be our residents andtheir generous and sacrificial attitudes. The Bear Valley NaturePath Walk-a-Thon—organized by Sandy Lander, Keith andKimberly Clow, and Linda Coverdale—was a delightful success onSaturday, October 19th, raising approximately $1,300 for signage,dog stations, and a bench to be installed along the path. We have an ever-growing group of walkers and cyclists in BearValley; the latter topic was featured at the last Town Hall meeting(October 8th). The meeting was well attended, especially by ourlocal cyclists, to hear a presentation by Tehachapi CommunityOutreach Coordinator Michelle Vance, describing the GranFondoplanned for September 13, 2014. This event is anticipated toattract a wonderful crowd and bring the entire Tehachapi commu-nity together in a fun way. For more information, visit theirwebsite: www.tehachapigranfondo.com. In an effort to prioritize the needs of each amenity and theAssociation as a whole, the BVSA Board toured each location tospeak with managers and staff. We would not live in such aparadise if we did not have these amazing people. We would liketo especially thank Liz Beckham for her many years of outstand-ing service as the Equestrian Center Manager, and we welcomeRandi Ehrenborg in her place. As we review the member surveys that were recently submit-ted, we realize that there are abundant and wide-ranging requestsand desires across the valley, and it is impossible to achieve themall. However, we are carefully considering each one, and all ofyour voices are important! Please read your Bear Tracks andattend our meetings to stay informed. I welcome your input andideas, and I appreciate this opportunity to serve Bear ValleySprings.

MANAGER’S COLUMNJeff Hodge, General Manager
Welcome to Fall. I hope you had agreat summer and enjoyed all the greatoutdoor opportunities that Bear ValleySprings has to offer. At the CSD, we receive many ques-tions about adjusting an unexpectedlyhigh water bill after a home water leak orpipe break at a resident’s house. Unfortu-nately, per state law, the District cannot waive the costs ofdelivering that water through your meter; it is always thehomeowner’s responsibility to ensure their water delivery systemis maintained. There is another article in this issue that talks abouthow the water meter works, which can help homeowners catchbreaks before the Water Department does in their monthly meterreads. History shows that water meters always read low to thecostumer’s benefit. For those facing a one-time monthly bill inexcess of what they are financially able to pay immediately, weare allowed to offer a payment plan extending out to 12 monthswith interest. However, this is only available for one high water billdue to an event outside of the homeowner’s control, not justneglected broken sprinkler or toilet. Remember to winterize your outside irrigation systems andwater hydrants. Also, consider turning off your water if you aregoing to be away for any extended period over the holidays. Oftentimes when we lose power during an extreme cold snap, we see alarge increase in water breaks, and frequently these are inside aresident’s house. This is not what we want to have happen toanyone, especially not during the holidays. If you have further questions, contact our office for informationabout winterization, where your meter is located and how to readyour meter. Happy Holidays!

WATER TIPS FROM PUBLICWORKS SUPERINTENDENTLaurence Tuma III
This month I would mention a fewitems like to discuss some winter tips Imentioned these last year but they areworth mentioning again this year forwinter here in Bear Valley Springs. Thewinter is almost upon us and there aresome important things that you should remember when you aretraveling here at home or anywhere.Water Meters – Leaving the dirt in your water meter box is a goodthing in the winter time. It insulates the meter and the valves tokeep from freezing. I know you don’t want to let the gophers andground squirrels win but its ok to let them fill in your box for thewinter. If you are lucky enough not to have any gophers or groundsquirrels it’s ok to put a shovel or two of dirt over the meter andthe valves.Snow Plows – You should leave lots of extra space between yourcar and a snow plow. Even if you are following behind a plow inthe fresh tracks, your car can still lose traction and you could runinto the plow or lose control. Snow plows have sanding machineson the back which spread red rock on the road surface to helpincrease traction in icy conditions; this rock can damage your
windshield andpaint. A good ruleof thumb is to keepat least 100 feetaway from theplows. The plowsare also veryheavy and take along time to stop,please do not pullout in front ofthem; limitedtraction will causeyou to spin yourtires and the plowmay not be able tostop. Commoncourtesy is the ruleduring plowingoperations;remember that theplow crews have
been working long hours, sometimes up to 16 hour double shiftsto keep your roads clear.Rain – The roads here can get very slick when it rains. Make sureyou have new windshield wipers now. Give plenty of spacebetween you and other cars, it takes double the distance to stopwhen its raining. Turn your headlights on even if it’s in daylighthours, it’s the law.Snow – When it is snowing, the roads here can get very slick.Slowing down is the operative word when driving in the snow!Even days or weeks after the snow fall the roads ice up when thetemperatures drop at night. Pay particular attention when drivingon our very steep mountain roads.Fog – Bear Valley experiences some really thick fog. Some say itis not really fog but that the clouds are dropping down to theground level, but you know what I mean. If the fog is particularlythick, i.e. you can’t see the centerline or the edge lines considerstaying home until the conditions improve. Turn your headlightson even if it’s in the daylight hours.Tire Chains – Keep them in your car at all times during the winter.Even if you have 4 wheel drive doesn’t mean you might needthem and if you have a 2 wheel drive car you will definitely needthem. Remember State Law requires you to carry chains when ina “Chain Control” area even if there is a 4 wheel drive exemption,it could get canceled or icy and you may need to use your chains.When the roads are icy your tires may not be able to give enoughtraction. If you left them in your garage they won’t help you much.Make sure you have tried them on to make sure they fit. Trying toput chains when it’s snowing is a lot harder than you think,especially if you haven’t done it before. Just because the autoparts store sold you a set to fit your car, they may or may not fitcorrectly. Wouldn’t you like to know this before you need to usethem? Some small blocks of wood make it easier to install chainsas it lifts your car up a little out of the snow. I like to position theblocks in the middle of the chains and then drive the car up ontothe block of wood. Practice this in dry weather so that you getproficient in installing your particular set of chains. I like to keep aset of gloves and a pair of pliers in my chain box.Stuff to keep in your Car – Flashlight, tire chains, ice scrapper,gloves, a sleeping bag or blanket, some water and a few snacksin case you are delayed, tire jack, spare tire, and maybe even ashovel.

WATER WISEDenise Jelleschitz, Billing Clerk, CSD
Here are a few pieces of information from an article foundfrom The City of Pataskala Utility Department. For the full articlego here: http://www.ci.pataskala.oh.us/FormsandInformation.aspxMeter AccuracyThe mechanical design of water meters do not allow for adjust-ments of the dials or accuracy calibration of the meter. Similar toautomobiles, odometers, or other mechanical devices, the meterslows down with age and eventually stops registering completely.The Utility Department has the ability to test for meter accuracyand a meter will be used until the accuracy is less than 97%accurate. The meter will not arbitrarily run faster than it wasdesigned to run or run backwards. The mechanical parts are notcapable of “speeding up” or registering a significantly higherreading than actual usage. Having a meter register 20,000gallons of consumption when the usage was actually 4,000gallons would be like a vehicle with a maximum speed of 100mph suddenly being able to intermittently run at speeds of 500mph, it isn’t mechanically possible.How to detect a leakFirst make sure all water using fixtures in your home are not inuse. Check to see if the red circle on the face of the meter ismoving; it is a low flow indicator. If it is moving, you either have aleak or something in your home is using water. Go find it! Placesto look are toilets (flappers get old and wear out) faucets, hotwater heaters, water softeners, etc.Service Line LeaksMany leaks occur underground and, because of gravity andsaturation of the ground can leak tens of thousands of gallonsper month without visible evidence. Water leaks can develop inthe home’s water service line. The Utility Department maintainsthe main line and service line in the right of way up to the “curbbox” or shut off in the yard. Property owners are responsible fromthe curb box to the home. Although such leaks can be difficult todetect, there are some telltale signs which may indicate that youhave a leak in your service line. You should be continuouslyobservant for:• Wet spots in your yard between the curb box and your house.• The sound of running water or a hissing sound coming fromyour main shut off valve when water is not being used in yourhome.• Water leaking into your basement or crawl space near thelocation of your water service line.• A noticeable loss in water pressure or flow throughout yourhome.• Water bills showing progressively higher water consumptionthat cannot be explained otherwise. Note below how many gallons even a very small leak canuse during a 3 month period:

STONE MOUNTAIN CELEBRATED ITS FOUR-YEAR ANNIVER-SARY THIS SUMMER. It’s amazing how time flies! It seems like onlyyesterday that Dan Steinberg, MS, PT and I opened the doors. Starting a business in today’s economic climate can be a scaryendeavor, but four years ago Dan and I wanted, so badly, to be free tostep out on our own and open a practice with all of the bells andwhistles. A practice that strives to deliver nothing but the best to ourcommunity. We knew chasing this dream came with its risks. Brand newbuilding, top-of-the line exercise equipment, cutting-edge rehabilitativetechnology, and the newest software for patient records. It seemedlike a good recipe for success. All of the above, combined with ourcontinued education and certifications, 90 years combined licensedexperience, and proven rehabilitation techniques respected by the toporthopedic surgeons in the area have made our dreams a reality. “Did he just say 90 years combined licensed experience?” Yes I did! Of course Dan’s history takes up 49 of the combinedyears. What a pleasure being mentored by such a well-educated andknowledgeable man; US Army Veteran, UCLA graduate. Dan was anAssistant Professor at State University of New York at Buffalo,Associate Professor at Boston University, graduate division ofphysical therapy, and Instructor of Kinesiology at Tufts University –He taught people how to be physical therapists! I also have the great fortune to work alongside and be mentored byJulie Gonzales. She has 21 years of extensive experience in thetreatment of acute and chronic orthopedic conditions, musculoskeletaldysfunctions, as well as neurological and geriatric rehabilitation. Shehas worked in home health, at several of the Bakersfield hospitals andat Tehachapi Hospital Rehabilitation. I received my Physical Therapist Assistant license 20 years ago,but that doesn’t tell the whole story. I began my career in health care29 years ago as a United States Navy Corpsman where I begantraining in orthopedics and worked in every department of the hospital
setting. I participated in fitness training in the areas of boxing,football, baseball, softball, triathlons, and conditioning. My fondestmemories are working with the United States Marines in Field MedicalServices. After the service, I continued schooling at Calif. StateUniversity of Northridge where I finished all pre-requisites forapplication into the PT program. I’m grateful for my past experienceas it gave me the administrative experience to run rehab departmentsincluding Tehachapi Hospital where I received the Clinical Manager ofthe Year Award three years running. It’s been a great ride and we continue to dream and plan to grow!Referrals from the best orthopedic surgeons and doctors in the areahave been at the highest since opening. And I can’t leave out all ofthe ‘word-of-mouth’ referrals from our wonderful clients (thanks folks!). To ensure the best of care, Stone Mountain Physical Therapyuses only licensed staff, not so in other local settings. If you’rein the need of physical therapy, choose the most experienced,knowledgeable staff in Tehachapi. We’re certain you’ll be happyyou did! By Moe Cramer Jr., PTA

She always tries to work in her theme with things wealready have on hand. You might want to thank her for a reallygreat job. Or, why not offer to help. She always needs a group ofladies to help her set up. Thank you, Bonnie, for all those beautifullooking tables every year.

ARE YOUR DOGS ON A LEASH?Chief of Police Rod Walthers, BVPD, CSD
Last month Assistant General ManagerSandy Janzen told us what the district code hasto say about dogs running at large. This monthI was asked to refer dog owners to the laws KernCounty provides us as well.
Under the Kern County Code of Ordinances,section 7.08.150 Dogs at large prohibited-Confinement state alldogs while on public land must be restrained by a leash or keptwithin an enclosed pen (such as the Dog Park located at Cub Lake).Violation of this ordinance is a citable offence7.08.150 Dogs at large prohibited—Confinement.A. It is unlawful for the owner of any dog to allow it to be on theprivate property of another person or on public property withoutthe consent of the person owning, occupying or controlling theproperty. Animals on the property of another person with the con-sent of the person in charge of the property shall be under suchrestraint as is necessary to protect persons and other animals frominjury and to protect the property from damage. In particular, dogsshall be restrained by a leash and under the immediate control ofthe handler or confined within an enclosed pen when on publicproperty, unless the officer in charge of the property has consentedto the owner exercising another form of restraint.

When I write these articles, it isalways the month before the articleappears so sometimes I talk aboutdates that have past. That is trueof our Trash Day. Every year theHorsemen have two or three TrashDays. This time it is on November 2.We meet at the Equestrian Centerparking lot at 9 am. We pick up trash on allthe trails. However, we get most of our trash on the roadeasements. It would help if everyone made sure their trash issecure so it does not blow on our roadways. After trash pickup,we go to the Mulligan Room for lunch. You do not need to be amember to help. I had a great experience when my new neighbor and I went onher first trail ride in BVS. She comes from the LA area with goodtrails. We took on the Hart Loop Trail and I got to look at ourbeautiful valley through new eyes. Even in this dry season, it isan amazing view. She couldn’t believe how wonderful it was toride that trail. We sometimes take for granted the beautiful placewe are so fortunate to reside in. This is a good trail for hikers ifyou do not ride. The trail starts on Bear Valley Rd. and Martin-gale. You may also pick it up on the San Juan Loop. It comes outat Hart and Bear Valley Road. The Horsemen had a good year. We had a very successfulMule Show and many fun rides. This month we have our Appre-ciation Dinner for our wonderful volunteers. We will also have aTurkey Poker Ride on November 23. It will start at 10 am at theEQC and will cost $5 per hand. The winner will get a portion ofthe money and a Turkey. All are invited. When you go to the EQC, you will notice a new flag pole. Thiswas donated by the Bear Valley Springs Horsemen. Ron Haytonand Mike Kemp were kind enough to take on this task. As I rodeby, he was in the process of removing the old flag pole. If you seeRon, be sure to thank him. This month we also have election of our officers. We of coursehave a president. But, our Vice-Presidents have very definiteduties. The First Vice-President is responsible for the Mule Show.The Second Vice-President organizes our trail rides. We alsohave a Secretary and Treasurer. Our organization continuesbecause we have people willing to accept the responsibility andwork for our club. I would like to thank all past office holders andour new elected officers for their dedication. In December, our Christmas Party will be on December 21 atthe Country Club. We also plan to have a Hot Chocolate Ridewith Christmas Caroling. Even if it is cold, we will ride. As Thanksgiving nears, I think of the exceptional Thanksgivingdinners we had at the Equestrian Lounge. Back then, in the late70s and early 80s, there were not many of us living here. SylviaWright Chavez was manager and lived in the apartment at theEQC. Many of our kids worked at the EQC. Horses didn’t care if itwas a holiday, they wanted to be fed and stalls cleaned. So wedecided that our families would join togetherand have Thanksgiving Dinner at the Lounge. Itwas a big potluck. Our little dinner grew untilwe had over forty people. We did this forseveral years until our kids grew up and Sylviamoved on to a different job. As with all goodthings, we are left with memories. I hope all of you have a wonderful holiday.Remember, it is not too late to join theHorsemen. If you join now it will berecognized through 2014.

When the event finished, the club hosted apizza party. The poker workshops have been a huge success.Be sure to come and help us enjoy the close of the season. The October meeting was as usual, a lot of fun. The food wasespecially great; there was enough for an army. Besides theregular gourmet selection, there was a huge pumpkin filled withdelicious hot pumpkin soup. Imagine that, what a treat. After wefinished our dinner and still enjoying dessert, we handed out doorprizes. This month, we gave out 20 digital thermometers. Yes,now there is no excuse for not having your horse’s temperature.I had some early pregnancy test kits also, but no one wantedthem. Rick Pasalaqua won the giant zucchini, and was thrilled. We had a special surprise – Travis Combs came all decked outin his kilt and bagpipes. He was asked to play a few traditionalpieces for our members. Several of us have lost critters recentlywho were members of our family. This was very special to honortheir memory with the familiar notes of Amazing Grace.

Jan spoke of heradventures of this unfolding historic event. Looking back, Jantransported us to another time and place. So, what were youdoing in 1980? Seemingly a life time ago. I hope you are getting out and enjoying these Autumn days.Soon Ol’ Man Winter will be visiting us. Remember this is theland of four seasons, even though some of our seasons are only afew days long.

Reserve Funds Update (cont’d. from p. 6)
homeowner who dined under the Oak Tree Country Club roofshould pay a share of its replacement. Just as both old and newhomeowners benefit from the presence of such item, bothcontribute to it. 4-Maintaining a reserve fund minimizes the need for specialassessments. Homeowners, especially those on fixed incomes,have limited resources. They may not be able to afford a largespecial assessment that would be required if reserves areinsufficiently funded each year to cover major replacement. 5-Maintaining a reserve fund enhances resale values. Lendersand real estate agents are aware of what a reserve fund is andthe ramifications for a new buyer if reserves for replacement areinadequately funded and managed. 6-Lastly, and most important……….The Community FacilitiesLease between BVSA and the Bear Valley Community ServicesDistrict (BVCSD) recognizes the Association is “…legally empow-ered to lease and operate the real property and CommunityFacilities…”, and the lease also provides for the BVSA to “…man-age, operate, maintain and improve (and to develop new Commu-nity Facilities as required)”. The facilities that we manage andmaintain in this lease are part of this reserve fund.Funding Goals The answer to the critical question of how much reserve is“enough” or “adequate” is not simple. Each association hasdifferent needs, so $100,000 may be excessive to one associationbut an extremely small amount to another. One standard method of measuring the size of an association’sreserve fund – providing information about how the fund mea-sures up against the needs of the association – is the concept ofpercent funded. Percent funded allows an association to measurethe relative size of their reserves as compared to a “fully funded”reserve balance. Based on completing an Enhanced Reserve Study andProperty Condition Assessment with a Reserve Study Specialistduring the 2009-2010 fiscal year, the BVSA Board of Directorsreceived an updated and complete report of all Major ComponentData Base (MCDB) items. The BVSA Board annually reviewsand revises the 30-Year Reserve Funding Plan and it is publishedin the Bear Tracks Annual (Supplemental) edition, last issuedMay 2013. If the 30-Year Reserve Funding Plan adopted by the 2009-2010 Board of Directors is followed in the upcoming years, thereserves will be 50.0% funded by 2017 per Resolution 1.09/10amended on May 15, 2010. The current funding plan meetsthe March 17, 2007 resolution. The BVSA Board also adoptedthe goal of the minimum value of the reserve fund to not fallbelow $500,000. As many of you may know, BVSA got a “late start” on estab-lishing a Reserve Fund, which should have begun in the 1970sinstead of in the 2000s. After reviewing the completed ReserveStudy with the Reserve Specialist, the Board attempted to “strikea balance” between not raising the annual assessment unneces-sarily by allocating too much of the Homeowner’s Annual Assess-ment toward the reserve funding in any particular year (eventhough the money would be “in the bank” earning interest),against not having enough in the reserves to cover scheduledreplacements and unexpected occurrences.2013-2014 Reserve Fund, Capital, and Park and RecreationFund Projects The list for the Reserve Fund, Capital and Special AssessmentProjects is determined each year as part of the new fiscal yearbudget preparation. This list is generated from our Reserve FundAsset Management software “Asgard” based on the life expect-ancy of the items in the Major Component Data Base (MCDB).The list is reviewed by the BVSA Department Managers, FinanceAdvisory Committee and Board of Directors. This list is edited forwhat truly needs to be replaced based on wear-and-tear and
operational demands. Components are moved forward andbackward on this list based on the individual review of each item.For the 2013-2014 fiscal year, there are no Special Assessmentprojects. This list is the starting point for our fiscal year of whatprojects need specifications, planning, bidding and projectmanagement. Listed below is our list of Reserve Fund projects slated for the2013-2014 fiscal year that we will begin the project managementprocess on. As of July 2013, there are over 76 individual projectsscheduled totaling over $990,000 of Reserve Funds if they all arecompleted in this fiscal year. This list is provided for any home-owners, individuals, businesses, and BVSA Organized Clubs tosubmit bids on these projects for the work that needs to beperformed or items to be purchased for replacement. Indicated onthe list is the basic description of the item, asset category type,and also indicated is whether a formal Request for Proposal(RFP), Request for Contract (RFC) or Purchasing “Bid” Formatwill be required. The list is subject to change based on BVSABoard’s approval and timing of projects slated for the 2013-2014fiscal year. This list does not include any previously approvedprojects pending implementation, projects funded by Bear ValleySprings Community Recreation Facilities Foundation (BVSCRFF)501(c)3 Tax-deductible Donations, or Park and Recreation Fund(also know as Detachment Fund) Projects funded by Recre-ational tax money that BVCSD receives now from Kern County.(There are currently no pending BVSCRFF or Park and Recre-ation Fund projects.)
