Your ballot for new HOA board members

Greetings.

As you know, the board never gave an official reply to your petition--even though more than 600 neighbors signed it online or by hand. The board also voted to approve the statutory committee's recommendation of the more than 8% rent increase from Hometown America. This was done at a hastily-called meeting on the Sunday immediately before Christmas, at 10am, without a quorum present in the room (a violation of board bylaws).

• If you're a current member in good standing, your ballot should be in your mailbox today or tomorrow.
• You may only vote for three candidates (even though there are five vacancies, and seven candidates). Do not vote for more than three, or your ballot will not be counted.
• The deadline is short, so please consider voting right away.

I am proud to endorse the following three candidates:

• Irma Backelant: Her commitment to finding the truth is admirable, and deeply needed.
• Nuno Hilton: His love of our community, and his promises to make the HOA more accessible, are compelling.
• Lori McFerrin: Her willingness to engage, deal with difficult questions, and to seek answers--well--these are the qualities of an excellent board member.

All three of these candidates have also publicly committed to advocating for more board transparency, and to a stronger willingness to communicate with homeowners and residents. VOTE!

Respectfully submitted,

Dr. Nathaniel Dunigan
