Farmington HOA

After receiving a letter that our HOA will not continue supplying our trash service I became concerned.  $65 a month, 300 homes, $19,500 a month & $234,000 a year.  That's a lot of dough!  How can we put that much into our community and NOT afford trash service.  My parents live 5 minutes away at Lambertson Lakes by Washington in 100th.  The house prices range from $300,000 to $400,000.  Their HOA fees are $35 a month.  This year I've seen more landscaping in there community than I've seen in ours since I've lived here in August of 07'.  Something has got to be wrong.  I was going through the paper the Hoa had sent us and saw a lot of numbers and listed expenses that made do sense to me.  One example was this websites maintenance fees.  I logged on to the website for the first time only to see the last topic discussed was in 2004, thus the name of my topic "Who uses this website?".  If anybody happens to go through the same cause and effects I went through and looks at this website please let me know your input.  Or if you truly use this website regularly please let me know.  I would like to know as much as I can before the meeting.

I have never seen this website until now.  I just posted a question about foundation problems in our area.  This is the first time I have used it.  I didn't even know it existed, and I found it when I did a search on Google.  We definitely don't need this if people don't use it.

$19,500 per month is only if everyone pays, we on average only have 60%  to 65% of the homeowners paying every month.  Also, this website is not paid for by the Assoc., the website that we pay for is run directly by MSI, and is available at www.msihoa.com , this website is a free service.

It,s time to do some investigating . The last house I owned we found that there was money inbesing going on All the way to the guy how cleaned the pool thank too my wife. Some times the people on the board get a little head strong and things can turn around very fast I have busted up some hoa group that think Thay can bully around owners and for get that things can turn back on them .
