Thank you for ongoing support. Dillon and myself attended the annual meeting in person on Thursday 3/20 in person and had a spirited conversation with the board.

The board had offered to include us in the April agenda for 30 minutes - however, I responded and requested that they schedule a separate meeting according to our bylaws to address all the items in the petition.

I sent an email today forwarding the signatures we've received so far and awaiting the board to take action in scheduling this separate special meeting. See my full email below.

Subject: Formal Request for Special Meeting per Petition Submission

Dear Jean and Members of the HOA Board,

Thank you again for the thoughtful discussion during the Annual Meeting and for offering time during the April 17 Board Meeting. I appreciate the Board’s openness to engagement and constructive dialogue.

That said, I believe the proposed 30-minute time slot will not be sufficient to adequately address all of the issues outlined in the petition. In accordance with our Bylaws, I am formally submitting a request to hold a Special Meeting.

Attached are the following materials:

• An image of the handwritten signatures of 26 supporters
• A .CSV file listing the names of 47 supporters who signed digitally

While I understand the Board already has acquired a copy of the petition, please let me know if you require an official re-submission. I do not have the means to independently verify the membership status or homeowner eligibility of all signers, so please advise if additional validated signatures are necessary.

Per our governing documents, I respectfully request that the Board schedule a Special Meeting within 30 days and notify the community accordingly. The meeting should be solely dedicated to reviewing and discussing the requests outlined in the petition, which include:

• Provide a detailed financial breakdown of 2024 expenses, including explanations for budget variances and the status of delinquent accounts, as outlined in the 2024 budget discrepancy analysis. (The discussion during the Annual Meeting was insufficient due to blurry slides, a lack of printed materials, and difficulty following the presentation.)
• Conduct a thorough review of the current budget to identify opportunities for cost reduction while maintaining essential services.
• Hold a community vote on whether to retain or remove underutilized or obsolete amenities.
• Amend the CCRC’s to require a minimum of 60% homeowner approval for projects or improvements exceeding $10,000, including those already pending.
• Implement at least a 25% reduction in HOA fees while ensuring essential services are preserved.
• Establish a 3% annual cap on HOA fee increases, with any increases beyond this threshold requiring a majority vote of homeowners.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to working collaboratively with the Board and community toward a productive outcome.
