Board and Committees
The Board Members and Key Committee Members
The WPOA membership elects a volunteer board of no more than five property owners who discharge the duties to arrange and pay for the essential tasks and any other expense to conduct WPOA business.
Any Woodrock property owner is eligible to serve on the Board if elected by ballots distributed prior to, then counted at the yearly annual meeting of WPOA in late summer of each year. As a private, cooperative community all property owners are urged to take a turn serving on the board to share duties necessary to maintain Woodrock. This is a duty, not an honor, which requires time and effort without payment or reward to serve our common welfare.
Meetings are held quarterly at the home of individual board members. Meetings are open to all association members and each is strongly encouraged to attend. Meeting time and date will be posted on this website.
The Board manages the Association as a non-profit organization and is a licensed regulatory agency in Colorado. The Board is governed by the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act. and several Colorado Statutes. These are listed on the Public Document page under Governing Documents.

Principal Duties of the Roads Committee:
The roads committee has the duty to maintain the roads of Woodrock for two lanes of traffic for the resident’s vehicles. These roads include Woodrock Way from CR61 to the cul-de-sac at Kelly’s gate, and Homestead road from Woodrock Way to the end of the last platted lot of Woodrock. Centennial Way and private driveways are not included. There are some exceptions to this: Old Stoner Homestead road from the end of Woodrock to the old homestead house is maintained for one lane access to the fishing ponds and the old homestead.
Road Grading and Drainage Management:
WPOA owns a 1977 road grader and 2025 tractor with backblade, bucket and backhoe, which are operated and maintained by the roads committee. The committee delegates the operation and maintenance of the road grader to professional operators. These operators, Tom Snare and Fancis Young are independently contracted with WPOA to operate and maintain the grader. They are oncall in Winter to clear ice dams and buildups of slick, packed snow on the road. They are compensated at an hourly rate. These operators take direction solely from the Roads Committee Chairperson or the WPOA Board liaison to the Road Committee. The tractor is principally used to maintain the Woodrock roads, ditches and culverts. The Ford truck is used for snow plowing Woodrock roads only, not individual property driveways, and also to pull the drag to remove washboards in the roads.
Snow Plowing
The WPOA owns a Ford pickup truck equipped with a snowplow, which is operated and maintained by the roads committee. The roads committee delegates volunteer residents to operate the snowplow. It has been the committee’s practice to appoint one of the volunteer operators as the principal operator. The principal operator also maintains the pickup snowplow, in consultation and cooperation of the roads committee. The operators submit a monthly accounting of their hours and expenditures for operation and maintenance of the snowplow and truck.
Gate Operation and Maintenance
The Woodrock gate is maintained by Prutch's Garage and Gate and the Chairmen of the Roads Committee.
