There are two closely-allied organizations that serve the owners of property in the Indian Mountain Subdivision. They are the Indian Mountain Property Owners Association (IMPOA) and the Indian Mountain Recreation and Park District (Rec District). For a quick and easy comparison click here to see a simple matrix which compares the two organizations.

 

The following descriptions briefly define the complementary roles of these organizations.

 

IMPOA is the organization of all Indian Mountain property owners.  It is a nonprofit corporation registered in the State of Colorado and governed by Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. IMPOA is managed by an elected seven-member board of directors. All property owners share in the benefits of membership, such as use of facilities and activities provided by IMPOA, but only dues-paying members may vote and participate in the governance functions of IMPOA.

 

The voluntary IMPOA dues are currently $35 per year, renewable at the start of the year. There have been more than 600 dues-paying members in recent years.  Becoming a dues-paying member grants one vote per member no matter how many lots or how many acres an owner may have. (See Membership Application Form) IMPOA is actively concerned with the general well being of Indian Mountain with specific interest in assuring that the Protective Covenants of the Subdivision are kept up to date and implemented. IMPOA also represents Indian Mountain property owners in matters of mutual interest, such as:

  • maintenance of identifying street signs in cooperation with the County;

  • compliance with building, zoning, and public health regulations;

  • teaming with the Rec District in publishing newsletters;

  • arrangements for an annual dinner meeting in Denver;

  • maintaining lists of dues-paying members and property owners;

  • collaboration with the Rec District in recreational activities; and

  • liaison with the Park County officials.

In addition to dues, IMPOA’s fund raising activities include the sale of advertising for the Indian Mountain News and the sale of merchandise with Indian Mountain logos.

 

The Rec District is an arm of Colorado government, reports to the State Division of Local Governments, and complies with State laws concerning elections, budgets, record-keeping, and meetings. Its funding is from a portion of the real property taxes paid by each Indian Mountain property owner, fixed by referendum at 6.943 mils. The Rec District is managed by a five-member board of directors, all of whom are Indian Mountain property owners. The board meets quarterly, with special meetings as needed. All meetings are public.

 

The Rec District owns, operates, and maintains recreational facilities for Indian Mountain property owners, specifically Nillson Hall (the Rec Hall), fishing ponds, the RV septic-waste disposal site, RV Storage Lot, the Lodge and adjacent playground, picnic areas, Frisbee golf course and comfort station. The Rec District publishes newsletters and beginning September 2008 will be teaming with IMPOA to publish three joint newsletters yearly. The Rec District also hosts two or three summer buffets/picnics, usually with a program arranged by IMPOA.
