Actually that count is not 5800 separate people, but some people looking in multiple times, how many times have you logged into this thread?
Obviously. Even so....I am sure that there are more than just a few of us.
Another 10% increase...the deal was not to pay to maintain just the major roads! The deal was that all streets would be PAVED or at the very least MANTAINED...alas, we don't have one or the other.
Where there is 0 maintenance then paying fees not only becomes obsolete, but demands our collective attention to it, isn't that fair? If anyone of us gets a 10% increase, be on our electric, gas or medical, we would be concerned wouldn't we?.
This is our own business and only we can do something about it. And it should be of special interest to those who own but do not live here. There are some ROYAL idiots that seem to think that owners of vacant properties should pay even higher fees because the growth from the properties is shrinking the width of the roads!, while being totally oblivious to the fact that it is the Association's duty to keep the easements clear of vegetation AND maintain the viability of EACH and EVERY road. That is what our road fees are for.
This increase is not just another 30 bucks a month but another 250000 or so a year that goes to feed the bottomless pit.
BTW, reading the minutes where death threats to our board president are alleged, was nothing but a good argument as to why we ought to consider contracting the administration of this subdivision to professional hands. No need to pay an innept office staff and equally inept crew 300000 a year given the state of the roads.. it is obvious that their services are not longer needed. The 4 main roads are a liability in many places where the road stripping has dissolved into thin air and overhanging vegetation diminishes visibility.
No, an increase is not justified any longer, let alone an arbitrary number based on "if's". The present Board is asking for a lawsuit.
And to respond to a comment, we should open that can of worms and clean house once and for all. Thd Board of volunteers have shown to be incapable to administer a sizeable subdivision correctly, and this is no longer an issue we ought to continue to ignore.
