I'm sure you are aware that our playground equipment was vandalized, and our board of directors has decided that it needs to be replaced. The cost of this replacement far exceeds what the HOA has in its emergency fund so they are requesting that each homeowner pay an additional $275 which will bring in nearly $43,000 and this will not completely cover the cost of replacing the playground equipment so additional monies will be withdrawn from our emergency fund to complete the project. We are questioning the need for such an expense and why the board did not elicit the opinion of the homeowners before deciding to move forward with this project. We are eliciting your feedback now through an online survey and are hoping that each of you will take a few minutes and respond so we can better inform our board of directors how we should move forward. Items to consider with the current plan: Do we really need this playground equipment when there are several very nice parks located close by? How much value does this playground equipment add to our residents? How much use did this equipment get before it was vandalized? How many homeowners will utilize this new equipment after it is installed? Is this really a great use of our money?
