Causeway on Gull Association is, in the opinion of many owners, in trouble. A recent review of finances revealed that, without another special assessment, we will be out of money by early fall 2024, according to information shared at the 4/20/24 board meeting.

Did anyone notice that your statement for your 2024 management fees came unusually early (September 2023), despite not being due til January 1? And the management company had a "computer glitch" that resulted in no due date being printed on the statement?  We believe this was done intentionally, so they could guarantee there was enough money in the coffers to pay themselves their $78,000/month management fee that pays for their staff.  So, 2-3 months of their 2023 "salary" was paid out of the 2024 dues...putting the Association in a never-ending cycle of constantly trying to keep afloat.

Change is needed, and the April 2024 board meeting showed us that a few board members are committed to making changes...but we're not sure it's going to be enough.  

The by-laws allow owners to demand a Special Meeting (similar to the annual owners meeting, but within 90 days of the time the request is made).  We think we may need to leverage this option in the near future.
