Staffordshire Commons special assessment
Sign Now
We the undersigned, as unit owners of the Staffordshire Commons condominium complex, express our steadfast opposition to the special assessment made effective on January 28, 1010.
We take issue with the manner in which the meeting held on that date was scheduled, promoted and conducted. Nowhere in the promotional materials mailed out ahead of this meeting was it stated in plain English that a vote would be taking place to raise the monthly fees by a specific dollar amount. Unit owners unable attend the meeting were left with the options of not voting at all, or committing in advance (via proxy) to a vote whose terms were not made clear ahead of time. We also demand to know why there was no opportunity to vote on whether to replace only the 38 decks in most serious need. We demand complete transparency from both the associations board of directors, and from our property management company.
We feel that the vote of 22-14 does not accurately represent the feelings of the community as a whole, reflecting less than 25\% of all 153 unit owners. Furthermore, since the vote did not pass by a two-thirds majority, we feel that all those opposed to the special assessment deserve a fair and equitable opportunity to appeal the decision and make their voices heard.

I can't come to meetings Thursday nights. I didn't realize our fees would increase that much. I would rather see funds go to fix the builder error of having my pipes on an exterior wall that keep freezing under the carport. the association knows about thi

Not beneficial to myself and others who are trying to sell or are struggling and making it difficult for some. Forcing us to go further in debt... knowing some of us may be selling in the near future will hurt our chances since there will be nobody who wi

There are too many questions which remain unanswered. Before any owner can approve these increases, give us the full story!

These are hard times to spend so much. Not doing the decks this year won't make the project bigger next year.

It is hard to imagine how the Unit Owners could have been given reasonable notice of this action where the information given to us differed significantly from the the outcome. We are unable to make Thursday night meetings and the information we were given
