Apparently, seven Board of Director positions are up for filling. This makes for an interesting situation, since the complexion of the entire Board could change if some folks with a new administrative approach step up to run for these coming vacant Board seats, and cause a new majority from the majority we currently have. It’s curious that the Director elections are so late this year compared to past elections. Two possible reasons come to mind, 1) time was needed to have a vote on the new Amendments increasing the term of the Directors, and 2) at this time of the year many Residents have left for the summer, and may not be paying as much attention to voting matters.
It was also suggested that there would be no election if only seven folks placed their names on the ballot for the seven Director seats, e.g. the current seven Board members if they run again, or any other new candidates totaling seven. The current Board’s logistics of this election, voting when the Resident count is lowest, i.e. in the summer, and squeezing in the Amendments before the election, can certainly be seen as a means to return the current Directors or the Board’s chosen candidates, which could discourage any arising opposition candidates, and continue the Board’s past ways. We’ll see.
The current Board has an agenda to continue, e.g. the Brassie Grille expansion, and its obvious expansion of its social events calendar. What evolves with possibly new candidates, other than the current bevy of Board Directors, will be interesting, since we’ll see where the Resident majority will be, in favor of our current lavish spending course, or wanting a change for more fiscal responsibility.
Hopefully, there may be, even a minority opinion of frugality and common sense, who will be a strong and convincing voice, which espouses spending that will be for the whole community and the community’s infrastructure, and will trump the fun spending that has been rampant over these past years.
