The SAMLARC Board of Directors held their monthly meeting on August 27, 2024, to discuss projects and initiatives that maintain and enhance the SAMLARC community. The Board approved all Consent Calendar items for the stewardship of SAMLARC’s assets and viability, ongoing community maintenance, and contracts with professional service providers. Highlights of the July Board Meeting include:

• Approved a Letter of Support to the RSM City Council regarding the implementation of an E-bike safety ordinance. The letter articulates SAMLARC’s support of an ordinance that keeps the community’s safety in mind, allows citations to be issued to reckless E-bike riders, and supports the health and safety of riders and/or members of the public. The Council approved the ordinance at the August 29, 2024 City Council meeting.
• Approved the SAMLARC 2025-2027 Strategic Plan, which outlines goals and initiatives that the Association will undertake in order to maintain and improve the community’s value over time.
