6.  
C.H.P. Report-March 2026: None  
Homeowners Association Report: Procedural: Discussed how the HOA Gate staff verify/validate  
uniformed officers coming into the gate. This could cause an issue when BH officers are  
requesting assistance, and also when there are no BH officers on duty and the Valley station  
deputies are entering the gates to provide patrol and security checks. Chief Dickerson would like  
to have the policy revised. HOA will work with the Chief to clarify some language to facilitate  
access.

Blackhawk County Club Report: Thank you to BH CC and the HOA for hosting the Town Hall  
Meeting on April 16th.  
Old Business:  
A. Need for Funding –  
1. Process for P2A to interact with HOA  
Do we need to develop a formal process/procedure? Robert Durr could act as liaison in the short  
term – written in the long term.  
2. Establishing communications with Sheriff’s Office (re: budget)  
Andy Cohan and Chief to have discussions before the next meeting.  
3. Budget projections thru 2032/33  
Reviewed in the past but nothing new. It will be discussed in more details with the Chief and  
Andy Cohan. We still project a shortfall that will require some type of mitigation: HOA  
contribution and/or Parcel tax. We will push this agenda item forward to April Meeting.
