Upper Brazos Property Owner's Association

Fall Greetings from your UBPOA board. We hope everyone has had a GREAT summer. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed the bounteous rains, family time, and a bit of relaxing. We’d like to share a few accomplishments with you:

• Established a local post office box: PO Box 633 Tierra Amarilla, NM 87575.
• Brought six years of past-due property taxes up to date on the UPBOA owned pond. The tax notices were sent to an old address – which has now been updated to our new local box.
• Re-established for the UBPOA a Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State for the State of New Mexico. Our certificate number is 6918042. We have completed our Initial Report as a Corporation with the State of New Mexico.
• Secured an EIN number with the US Department of Treasury. We our working on a 501c3 designation.
• Sponsored the annual picnic. Over 75 friends and neighbors attended this celebration! Be sure to check out the pictures
• Scheduled and completed road maintenance on Beaver, Tall Pine, Rainbow, Fall View, Bear and Falls Creek roads!
• Continued the arduous work of cleaning and reviving the pond. Five pick-up trucks and 4–16-foot flatbed utility trailers full of green waste and trash was moved to the Tierra Amarilla transfer station. This was in addition to the four (4) utility trailers from last summer.
• Moved the pond water supply from the east to the west end of the pond. This will allow for better circulation in the pond. Working with Dennis Fahs of the BMDWCA and Mike Valdez from the BCVFD cleaned and repaired the “gallery” – water source for the pond.
• With the help of our neighbor, Meredith Pond, we have established a new website – upperbrazospoa.org. Please be patient as we learn how to manage a website.
• Again, with Meredith’s help we have established a Mail Chimp account for the purpose of quickly and easily disseminating relevant information to our community.

We are so appreciative that the generosity of current and past UBPOA members, and others, has allowed the Board to complete these efforts. 

Closing you cabin 

If you’re leaving for the winter, please make sure you are ready with the following items:

• Water. If you are uncertain about turning the water off, check out the Brazos Mutual Domestic Water Consumer Association website upperbrazoswater.org for instructions. Or contact Bob Cooke at bob.cooke@upperbrazoswater.org

• Please take as many of your piles of pine needles to the transfer station!
• If your cabin sits next to a run-off or bar ditch, please take a moment to remove as many obstacles to run-off water as possible.  Full ditches direct water to the roads.
• Get to know your neighbor. Share information in case of an emergency.
