I just read that neighborhood dues are going up next month on a flier posted on a mailbox. If this is true, this is infuriating for multiple reasons:
1. Fliers taped to a mailbox are not an appropriate form of communication - communication should be put something in the mail, directly on doors, or email.
2. There was no explanation for the increase. As far as I can tell, my money is being wasted when things like overgrown bushes, dying landscaping, and potholes keep growing. Why would anyone be ok with an increase when the basic needs covered in our regular dues aren't being met?
3. The option of going to the board meeting on 12.30 that is listed on the flier isn't posisble for people with odd hour jobs
4. Since the lake reams website hasn't been functioning, getting anyone to answer anthing officially on neighborhood link seems impossible - it doesn't seem that anyone from the HOA monitors this site.
Would someone please address whether the increase is true, why the increase is occuring, and what the proposal is to better allocate money to be sure the services listed on our HOA agreement are met?
