Someone remind me . . .
I'm sure someone can remind us of the horror that was involved in getting a majority of homeowners together so we could simply vote yes to gain control of the HOA from Weekley's folks.
I remember hearing about how hard it was just to get people to commit to sending in their votes if they weren't gonna be there, let alone making sure that there were really enough people there anyway.
The lady who was there representing the management company (I think) seemed to think that a 25 percent turnout was ridiculously high and suggested making a resolution where much less than 10 percent of the neighborhood could decide an issue.
If the HOA had to get the neighborhood's input before they could do anything somewhat substantial, they'd never get anything done! Ever. I think the committees were formed to make these decisions, get the input and do all of the ground work so that a proposal could be made to the HOA for approval.
With that said, I expect the HOA and the committees to do everything possible to keep everyone informed, hence this web site. Now is that happening? My hunch is no, especially since I didn't know about fountains until a couple of days ago when I was told that they were going to put one in. I don't remember anyone from any committee asking me my opinion. Voila! Here comes a fountain.
Perhaps I missed the memo? Or maybe I glanced over it, thought it was a great idea and decided to do nothing about it? Both are certainly possibilities. If that's the case, oops.
