We are going into another year where the membership is not in control of the Association. Our 2010 Assessment has to many items in it that has not been approved by the membership. I have posted the rules on making an assessment on this list so every member would know what is required of them. Here it is one more time; Your Regular Yearly Assessments are for maintenance, repairs and ordinary operating expenses, including Common Expenses for the Common Areas, based on the previous years assessmrnt for these items. That is it, nothing else unless it has been approved with the votes of the membership. With all the (894) lots sold in River Run, your Regular Yearly Assessment for 2010 should be between $75.00 and $90.00, not $155.00 as we are assessed in 2010. With the number of lots sold in River Run, the cost for maintaining the Common Areas and Play Grounds should be low.
In 2010 the Membership needs to take control of the Association and run the Association. The membership can do this by not changing any rules but enforcing the rules we already have in the Declaration.
First, we need to NOT pay the 2010 Assessment as we have been assessed. We need a new approved assessment for 2010 to pay.
Second, we need to elect (5) Board of Directors for 2010, this must be done annually. ( We never elected any Board of Directors for 2009.)
Third, the Membership and Board of Directors must have monthly meetings in order for the members to have control of the Association. (No more Board of Director control.)
Forth, the new Board of Directors must be willing to be trained for that position. Paid for by the Association.
Filth, the Board of Directors must enforce the Articles in the Declaration and the By-Laws of the Association. (No more making up your own rules.)
NOTE: All I am asking the membership to do is enforce the rules we already have in our Declaration and By-Laws. I am giving the membership 90 days to do that, or the Association will be faced with some hefty lawsuits.
Leathel,
