Greg said: If there is not a balanced representation on the board, it's nobody's fault but the property owners that are too busy or important to get involved.
ME: That is the unabashed truth! I would only add, because of the historic division for the past few years and because of the raucous nature sometimes exhibited primarily by frustrated owners on both sides the increase in apathy is more noticed. It is astounding that the folks who recoil, who are too busy or too 'important' [not sure what that means] do not quite get that decisions are made by any Board that directly impact their property values as well as their personal finances. So far, there has been no need for a Membership wide special assessment in any particular amount. But that may be right around the corner.
Greg Said: Don't blame the volunteer board; If you don't like them vote them out.
Me: Exactly! And this year there are 10 candidates ranging from the ages of mid twenties to mid seventies and the ballot is evenly split between genders. The educational and work background is diverse and they live or own property from about the middle of the subdivision down to the ocean.
Question Authority!
