Bow Mar Owners, Inc.beach manager to insure that we have be^er controls over guests, both invited and uninvited, to our beach. Other infrastructure items that need a^enNon include our tennis courts which have survived well beyond their expected life. We will focus on the conNnued care and maintenance of the beach and landscaping, our dock and the sailing area.
We are looking forward to another great year in Bow Mar. Thank you all for your Nme, commitment and passion for our great community.
We are pleased to present the Bow Mar Owner’s Inc. annual report. Enclosed you will find reports from each commi^ee outlining our year. Bow Mar conNnues to be one of the best places to live thanks to our membership, our community involvement and our commitment to keeping Bow Mar great. I would like to thank everyone who has donated their Nme, talent or treasure to our fantasNc community. Our greatest strength is the passion for Bow Mar that so many of you exhibit on a daily basis.
Special thanks to the Garden Clubs who planted and tended to the beauNful flower containers at the beach. Finally, I want to extend appreciaNon to the BMOI board. I would like to thank our outgoing board members who have given a lot of their Nme to improving Bow Mar.
Dave Peterson was instrumental in finding our new beach manager, constantly involved in the many repairs and maintenance items down at the beach, organized beach clean up, worked on our dock resurfacing projects, maintained the bathrooms at the beach and dealt with frozen pipes and a host of other issues that weren’t in his job descripNon.Dan Adams was always willing to pitch in around the beach and assist wherever he was needed. Dan took care of our mowing, trimming and landscape maintenance, which was no small feat as we went from monsoons, to droughts seemingly overnight. Dan offered his assistance in repairing items around the community including rebuilding the shades at the Marston courts and numerous other items.Amy Gavin served two years as our Social chair, managing parNes at the beach and our social calendar. Amy served 2015 as Secretary taking care of our meeNng minutes, helping with some of the social acNviNes and pulling together our annual report and meeNng. Amy was always willing to jump in wherever needed and help with a variety of acNviNes in any way she could.
I would like to thank all of our remaining board members for their efforts to conNnue to make Bow Mar a very special place to live.
We are clearly in a transiNonal period for our community, which has presented a variety of new challenges and opportuniNes. Beach security will see some changest his year. We are working with Columbine Valley and our

Aeer performing the duNes of Beach liaison for the Board over the past three years it is safe to say “history doesn’t repeat itself”. Every year has been different, for various reasons. 2015 was no excepNon. We were lucky to have found Jim Santenello to manage the beach. Although his learning curve was be^er described as a steep incline, he found a way to hire a good crew of lifeguards keep the water safe, manage the beach duNes with no knowledge of what exactly to expect, meet many of the local families, remain flexible and engaged, and work closely with the Board before the season started and throughout the summer. I feel confident saying 2016 will be a much smoother year for Jim and his crew.
The beach opened on May 25th, aeer a successful and heavily a^ended Beach Clean Up on May 2nd. The community parNcipaNon at the annual Clean Up never ceases to amaze me. People always come with tools, willingness to work, and most importantly – elevated community spirit and pride to spruce up the reason we all live in Bow Mar.
This year the smaller of the two swim docks was resurfaced. Dock floats were replaced as required, and new “longer” ladders were added to each dock. We added paddle boards, which are probably the most popular beach toy! The bathrooms at both the beach (at the top of the boat ramp) and at Marston were rebuilt. We repaired the damage from the early freeze last year and install fixtures designed for freeze resistance and for heavy public use bathrooms.
2016 is slated for even more upgrades:• Resurface the larger swim dock to match
the smaller dock and provide a safer surface -‐ materials purchased with 2015 funds.
• Purchased a new life guard boat and motor with 2015 funds. The boat is a Rigid Inflatable Boat that will provide the guards with

a reliable, quick, and maneuverable boat for water rescues.
• Upgrade the drinking fountain at the beach with a freeze proof version with addiNonal hose spigot.
• Improve/upgrade the sprinkler system(s) • Repair/replace playground equipment
with donaNons.
Jim and the team of lifeguards hosted an amazing 4th of July celebraNon. The 4th of July acNviNes conNnue to be the major summer a^racNon at the beach and are enjoyed by all age groups.
The last day of supervised swimming was Labor Day, September 7th. While the lake level was low, a group of volunteers donned their mud boots and walked the shore line to collect misc. trash, tennis balls, beer cans/bo^les, beach toys, did I menNon tennis balls, golf balls, noodle floats, arNcles of clothing, and did I menNon tennis balls. It was a wonderful “archaeological” experience.
The beach was put to bed at Fall Clean Up on October 17th table stacking on October 31st It will need its rest for another busy and memory filled summer in 2016.
Summer ConcertsCindy LoCricchio
BMOI along with Bow Mar Gardeners and Lakes of Bow Mar Garden Club were thrilled to bring the neighborhood another summer of musical entertainment to the beach, Sunday nights from 6 to 8pm. Also, new this year was a fantasNc movie night in Marston Field. We hope to make this an annual tradiNon!

It was another beauNful year on Bow Mar property, challenged by a very wet early summer then by a very dry end to the summer. We worked with Total Lawn Care to do mowing on an as-‐needed basis rather than on a strict schedule to keep the mowed areas well maintained while controlling costs. VegetaNon Management conNnued to handle weed control around the lake and in the larger BMOI common areas.
We successfully converted parts of the beach irrigaNon system from pumped lake water to municipal water due to on-‐going issues with pump repairs and heads/pipes not designed for unfiltered water. Much of our irrigaNon system, however, is sNll old and in marginal condiNon. We were able to maintain the beach area in good condiNon throughout the season, but struggled for the la^er half of the season in the picnic area – where we expect to make some off-‐season improvements this year.
As planned, we removed the two large dying trees by the beach tennis courts, another by the beach parking lot and several at Marston. Due to the extensive trimming the prior year, limited addiNonal pruning was required this year. We replaced one tree in the beach area, and will look at the enNre area in conjuncNon with the landscape design for the renovated marina area.
We conNnue to appreciate the considerable efforts during Spring Cleanup, and throughout the summer by the Garden Club and others to beauNfy and care for our common areas.

algae to grow which makes the water greener and less clear. We did not see this in 2008, 2010, or in 2015.
Chemical parameters indicate no problems, with normal nitrogen and somewhat low phosphorus (nutrient) levels. E. coli were at low levels in the lake and in the inlet stream. High levels of E. coli can result in beach closure, but the levels in the lake are far below the threshold for closure.
The temperature profile indicated warm water near the surface with temperatures decreasing gradually towards the bo^om. Oxygen levels were high enough to support fish throughout the lake to a depth of around 11 feet, since minimum desirable oxygen concentraNon for most fishes is approximately 5 mg/L. Below 11 e., dissolved oxygen was low and would not sustain fish in the deepest parts of the lake. However, fish would just stay in the upper and middle layers of the lake and there would be no problems. The low dissolved oxygen in the bo^om layer of the lake is typical in summer; although the levels were a li^le lower than normal.
The data does not indicate many long-‐term trends. Overall, the lake appears to be in stable condiNon over the years. Phosphorus levels were a li^le lower than in the past. This could be the reason for the lower chlorophyll levels and clearer water this year. Since we haven’t sampled in five years, we can’t tell if the improvement in phosphorus levels is a one-‐Nme anomaly or is the result of a trend.
Lake Water LevelAeer Labor Day the state required that the lake water level be lowered in order to repair a valve and shoreline, which is located by the Bow Mar South tennis courts. The lake has been lowered approximately four feet in order for the work to be completed. All boats, swim docks, etc., were removed prior to the lowering of the water level. All work is scheduled to be completed and the water level will be brought back up to normal levels before the lake freezes

Marina, Lake and ClubhouseChris Murdy & Brian Gunning
The Gillis Island Commi^ee has been working on the design of the clubhouse and Gillis Island. The latest design drawings were presented at the annual meeNng. We are currently soliciNng contractors and architects to help us complete the design, construcNon documents and assist with budgeNng through the process to ensure that we are staying within the parameters determined by the membership last year.
The clubhouse has been through the first review of the ACC. Several adjacent neighbors were present and the discussion resulted in moving the building further south in order to reduce the impact on their views. We appreciate the Nme and input provided. We have subsequently met with the two of the neighbors to discuss the updates and revisions.
Our civil engineer has been hard at work developing the grading plans and the new Marina design. We have had to adjust some of the design based on the moving the building and are coordinaNng the new uNliNes, including electrical service to the clubhouse and marina, sanitary sewer, etc. We have also completed the survey of the enNre site and marina.
The process is moving slower than we had hoped due to how busy the industry is, however, interest in the clubhouse, landscaping and marina construcNon remains strong. We are awaiNng addiNonal responses to our Requests for Proposal from several home builders and one general contractor. We are in the process of issuing the RFP for earthwork and retaining wall contractors for input and construcNon bids on the marina and site-‐work.
We understand the desire to take advantage of the lowered water level in the lake to start the marina work, but felt strongly that we had to have a be^er understanding of all of the costs prior to starNng any of the work. We will be finalizing all budgets and scope in the coming months with the goal of starNng at the end of next season.
Fish Sampling SurveyGEI Consultants was hired in 2015 to test the quality of the water in July and survey the fish populaNon in September. In general, the fish community in the lake looks similar to what it was in the past. We see no problems with the fishery that would require any changes to management on the part of the homeowners.
We sampled on the night of September 1, 2015 at three of the sites established in the early 1990’s. This included a stretch along the south shore west of the outlet, a site near the dock area, and a
stretch along the northwest shore. Sampling was done with an electrofishing boat aeer sunset, similar to the work done in the past. This is the same level of effort we used in 2011, the last Nme we sampled.
A total of six different species were collected. The most common species were black crappie, largemouth bass, and yellow perch. These species were also the common ones during sampling in past years as well. Bluegills were common in past years, but we caught only a few this year. We also collected a few walleye and carp this year.
Most of the crappie, bluegill, bass, and yellow perch collected were small, only a few inches long. These fish are the result of spawning in the spring of 2015. The abundance of young fish has been typical during sampling since the early 1990’s. The small fish represent fish that can grow to larger size in the next few years and become large enough to be the basis for recreaNonal fishing. The small fish also are prey for the larger fish in the lake. The abundance of small fish indicates there is sufficient numbers of older, larger, adult crappie, bass, and perch to sustain the high levels of spawning. A few walleye and carp were collected in the lake this year and have also been present in past years as well. We only caught three carp, which suggests that they are not yet becoming too much of a problem in the lake. There are undoubtedly many larger fish in the lake.
The sampling in 2011 and 2015 demonstrates that there are sNll abundant small fish similar to past years and abundant older fish to support the high level of spawning. The fish community in the lake appears to be sustaining itself well over the years.
It is not recommended any more grass carp need to be stocked in the near future. There were li^le to no weeds in September or during the water quality sampling completed in late July of this year. However, it would be good to monitor the extent of the weeds. They likely will start to come back to unacceptable levels someNme and it may be good to think about stocking more grass carp if that starts to happen. In summary, the fish in the lake appear to be in good condiNon, as has been the case in the past.
Water Quality TestThe sampling results from July 2015 indicate that condiNons in the lake were typical for the middle of the summer. The water clarity was a li^le be^er compared to summer data from past years. Chlorophyll levels (a measure of the algae in the water) were a li^le lower than usual, which is surprising considering that the plants were eliminated. Without plants, the nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen) someNmes sNmulate
The 2015 Bow MarS Sharks were a fierce team -‐ 135 strong. Strong not only in number of swimmers, but also Nmes in the pool. The Sharks moved to RMSL’s B division this year and faced five other RMSL teams during the regular season, we kicked off the summer at home against Heritage Village, and the next week hosted The Knolls. Then the Sharks headed “out on the road” to match up against Hunters Hill, The Preserve, and Homestead Farms II. We are so proud of our Sharks, who won every meet based on team points.
This year we were pleased to promote CJ Amman and Megan Sanders to head coaches. While they had a few years of junior coaching under their belts, we have been amazed and appreciaNve of how they stepped up and took over leadership of the Sharks! We would also like to thank our Junior Coaches Maggie Ste. Marie, Clint Hemphill, Luke Amman, and Emily Sanders for all their help. All of them have been long-‐Nme Shark swimmers, and we appreciate their willingness to step up to coaching this year.
We were proud to field a team of swimmers 81 strong at Prelims this year. Prelims took place between July 6 and July 9, with the top 16 finishers in each event moving on to Finals on July 11th. In all, 54 swimmers qualified to swim at the League Finals. Bow Mars Sharks were swimming in 56 of 90 events at finals. This included 18 relay events with 21 teams entered, 8 of these swimming in the championship heat! Individual swimmers qualified in 38 events, with 52 individual entries, 22 of these in the championship heat!
A rainy spring made for scheduling challenges both in and out of the pool. While movie night was interrupted by a shower, the Sharks sNll had a good Nme – and Coaches Megan and Emily even hosted a repeat showing at their house the next night! Thanks to the families that came out to our team fundraiser at Pirates Cove! Again, storms cut the night short, but not before a lot of fun Nmes at the water park.
A big thank you to all the parent volunteers for helping to make the season run smoothly. The Sharks have a long tradiNon of parNcipaNon -‐ and our parent parNcipaNon this year was amazing. Finally, thanks to the Sharks themselves, who demonstrated hard work and dedicaNon at pracNce, did their personal best in races, and were great sports – both as hosts and as guests -‐ during meets. It has been wonderful having so many new and familiar faces on the team and we hope to see you all next year back in the pool. Enjoy the rest of your summer, and SKO Sharks!!

The 2015 ACC Commi^ee included; Heather Rasmussen, Brian Jumps, Darren Hinton, Angie Graham, David Komatz and the addiNon of Heather Fleck. Steve Backer remains as a non-‐voNng member contribuNng significant wisdom from his involvement with ACC over the last several years and helps on pre-‐approval opportuniNes.
Ground up new homes, large addiNons and renovaNons have kept the commi^ee busy this year with no end in sight for such projects. AddiNonally, the ACC has been charged with reviewing plans for owners with lake front property wanNng to install boat docks.
The commi^ee felt a need to clarify several components with the ACC Guidelines. There have been no changes made to the guidelines, but rather dialog included in a “2015 Supplement to the Bow Mar Design Guidelines” which is meant to address and clarify procedures relaNng to the review process. This document has been submi^ed to the BMOI board for review and if accepted will be included in the Bow Mar web site.
The ACC Guidelines and project applicaNon forms are available on the Bow Mar web site at www.bowmar.gov . The Commi^ee encourages all homeowner’s to review the guidelines before submivng an applicaNon for a project. This will aid the homeowner with the appropriate steps to be taken to obtain ACC approval and may save expenses in design fees. Homeowners may contact any commi^ee member should they have any quesNons regarding the submi^al process. All projects should be submi^ed to Dave Komatz by
the 24wx of the month for the following month’s meeNng. Many of the following projects such as roofs, painNng, fences and the resurfacing of driveways were pre-‐approved prior to scheduled meeNngs enabling homeowners to obtain a permit quickly and proceed with their project. A heads up call to Dave is always helpful for larger projects or submi^als right before the deadline. MeeNngs are held on the second Tuesday of each month.
Please note that homeowners submivng plans for project approval must a^end the schedule meeNng for their project in person. This does not included preapproved projects.

Junior Sailing: Scrieber Family
2015 was a year of trying out new things. The sailing season began in earlier April with Wednesday evening sailing. We had 2 new early season rega^as: The ‘Ice Breaker’ rega^a for Snipes and the ‘Wet Suit’ rega^a for Laser.
A big thank you goes out to the Rasmussens for hosNng the summer kick off Yacht Club party and membership drive. It was a complete with a Hawaiian theme including the full pig with an apple in its mouth.
Many members took advantage of this year’s new “learn to sail program.” Also, this year the club boats were re-‐rigged to simplify the rigging process and it made sailing more accessible to the novices. In 2016, we should have 3x club Snipes and 3x club Laser ready to sail on short noNce.
We had three ‘Super Sunday Sailing’ sessions which included spectators, paddle boarders, several newbie sailors and music during the rega^a. The Junior Sailing program travelled around Colorado to Cherry Creek and Lake Dillon for some large Sunfish rega^as.
BMYC hosted the “Norm Tanner” district Snipe Rega^a. 16 boats parNcipated, 5 were from out of state. This rega^a is part of a 5 rega^a series in the ‘Mid-‐west’ district. The other 4 venues in the Series are in Dallas, Lincoln, Omaha and Longmont. Two new perpetual trophies were created this year by the district. Points are awarded to each club by the number of boats parNcipaNng and posiNon they finished for each rega^a. With everyone’s help, we were able to win both the ‘Best Fleet’ and the ‘Best Skipper.’ Steve Tautz won the ‘Best Skipper’ and there were 17 BMYC sailors that had a hand in helping to win the ‘Best Fleet’ award. GREAT JOB team…..
With the lowering of the lake for maintenance, the season was cut a bit short and the ‘Spousal Upgrade’ rega^a was cancelled.
2016 should be another exciNng year. On the agenda is to win the ‘Best fleet’ award again. We will be building a triple trailer for the Snipes and we anNcipate having at least 3 boats in all out of state rega^as. As part of this campaign, we plan on travelling to the east coast in March of 2017 to compete in Mid-‐Winter ser ies (Clearwater, Miami and the Bahamas.)

Annual Report 2015
IIt was a year of transiNon for the Jr. Sailing program, as we finally let our long-‐Nme Director Susu Baker sail into reNrement aeer a decade of service. Thanks again to Susu!
Interest in the program conNnued to be quite strong, with over 40 children parNcipaNng from both Bow Mar and Bow Mar South. There was a significant shie in emphasis this year, as we decided to create more focused weekly camps that would be deeper, longer, and create stronger sailing skills more rapidly than the 4-‐hour per week format from the previous year. By commivng more Nme to instrucNon and sailing, we were able to get 35 of our 40 sailors to pass at least to the “Solo” raNng level, which allows them to sail a Sunfish without supervision.
In addiNon, we invested significant Nme and effort on the Advanced side of the program. We built a racing team and focused Nme on sailing Lasers and a new Coronado-‐15. In addiNon to live racing, we also spent Nme reviewing detailed feedback for each young sailor. So, while the absolute number of students was down slightly from last year, overall we believe the community is developing a stronger group of young sailors.
We were able to recruit Marc Castells as the new Lead instructor this year, and couldn’t be more pleased with how the program was run. He brought great organizaNon and advanced racing knowledge that was much in evidence all season. He was assisted by Bow Mar’s own Alina Guldy and David Schreiber, who have become serious sailing instructors in their own right. We are keeping our fingers crossed that we can get all
three of them back for next year.
The program also kept in close communicaNon with the Community Sailing of Colorado organizaNon, which culminated in our parNcipaNon in the Jr. Sailing Olympic FesNval at Cherry Creek at the end of our season. This rega^a is the premier Jr. Sailing event in Colorado with parNcipants from all over the Western US (and even New Zealand!) – and our sailors did Bow Mar proud!
The Jr. Sailing program maintains 10 Sunfish boats as the centerpiece of our fleet. As these boats are also used by Yacht Club members, they see a lot of wear and tear and we are constantly working to cycle in new ones and provide repairs. The Yacht Club provides access to their Lasers for our students, and we were able to buy the C-‐15 to add to the fleet this year. Fees did increase this past year – largely reflecNng the increase in sailing and pracNce Nme being afforded to the young sailors and remaining extremely compeNNve with other sailing programs. Thank you to BMOI for your conNnued financial support, which allowed us to offer the program for such reasonable fees.
BMOI 2015 EventsIn addiNon to these big programs, we had amazing parNcipaNon with both organizing and enjoying numerous events that help to bring our community together. Thank you to BMOI members who helped plan these events.

Adult TennisBow Mar had 37 adult teams in 2015. This is c omp a r e d w i t h 3 4 t e am s i n 2 0 1 4 . YourCourts.com was successfully launched in 2013. This has been an invaluable tool for the adult tennis commi^ee to manage court scheduling for leagues and drills and for tracking dues and waivers. There were over 1400 reservaNons from April-‐August. Also, captains and several Bow Mar residents used the system to reserve courts for casual and team play. The change to the adult dues structure in 2014 was well-‐received and successful. We do not propose any changes to our Adult Club dues structure for 2015.
Tennis Court RepairsBMOI conNnues to maintain our aging tennis courts as best they can, with efforts to come up with a more long term, viable soluNon. Marston courts had crack repairs, while the beach courts were not repaired this summer. With an unusually wet spring, the court repairs and playability were delayed longer than usual. However, we were able to play matches at Harlow and finish up the season strong. We want to thank the community and the leagues' paNence and understanding during court repairs and a rainy spring season. A very special Thank You to our Pro's and to the Junior and Adult Tennis Commi^ee members for keeping the programs up and running and for making this sport such an important and enjoyable part of our community.
Bow Mar Tennis welcomed back our Tennis Director/Pro Marshall Carpenter. Marshall along with Jim Flanigan, ChrisNan Slupe, Mitch McGregor, Oliver Henry, Trent Sears, Andrew Carlson and Caitlin Jackson worked very diligently at giving each parNcipant in the junior and adult programs individualized a^enNon and excepNonal instrucNon. The program showed growth at all levels for juniors and adults. The Social Commi^ee hosted a Season Kick-‐Off Party at the Campbell residence and we had 4 tennis socials throughout the summer.
Junior TennisThis summer we had over 200 juniors parNcipate in all of our classes ranging from ages 4-‐18. We had 23 teams compeNng in the Colorado Tennis AssociaNon Junior Team Tennis League, which competed every Monday morning against other clubs in the Denver Metro area and 1 of those teams qualified for the playoffs.
All of the kids who parNcipated in the Junior Tennis Program were invited to the end of the season tennis party. Food, drinks, trophies and prizes were awarded to all. A special Thank You to all the coaches for sharing the fun and joy of the game of tennis with our children. We would also like to thank each and every parent who volunteered throughout the season, especially those who stepped up to be team parents. We are already working on improvements for next spring and summer and we look forward to seeing you on the court soon.

The beach is the central focus of social acNviNes for our members throughout the year, and the board is happy to see the beach being uNlized so much. This summer, members hosted a total of 77 approved events “Private ParNes” between opening and closing weekends, compared to last year’s 78; 51 parNes consisted of 20 or more guests.
Other significant BMOI programs include the Newcomer Dinner, Pancake Breakfast, First Annual Marston Movie Night, Summer Concert Series, Junior Sailing, Yacht Club, Swim Team and Tennis. Thanks to the program leads who worked so hard this summer to run these acNviNes!
