2019 Items Requiring a Vote by Homeowners
The following are two items that require a vote of the homeowners at the Annual Meeting. Homeowners may vote in person at the meeting or by directed proxy ballot (see below for details).
1. HOMEOWNER ANNUAL DUES INCREASE
At the Mar. 6 Board Meeting, the Board of Directors approved the proposal of an annual homeowner dues increase of $150 for the fiscal year beginning October 2019. If passed by a majority vote (two-thirds voting in favor) of attending homeowners and proxy ballots at the Annual Meeting, homeowner annual dues will be $700 per year going forward. This figure was determined by dividing the annual operating costs ($458,250) by 650 homeowners. If passed at the Annual Meeting, homeowner dues will fully fund the current level of operations for all services provided to homeowners: Recreation programs (pool, gym, etc.), current staffing, maintenance of common areas and buildings, website and newsletter, Architecture Review Board (ARB), Compliance, Community Affairs, etc. Financial documents are posted on the Financial Information page.
