July Newsletter

SECESSION FROM THE MASTER ASSOCIATION
There has been increasing discussion within our townhome community about the possibility of seceding from the Master Association. The Board of Directors has agreed to support this project, contingent upon agreement from at least 80% of the homeowners. This project would take time and money, and involve some legal issues and cost.

As the structures and landscaping of the townhomes age, the cost of maintenance and replacement increases. Many of us are looking at ways to get more for our dollar and, at the same time, have control over where and how our money is spent. Currently, we have very little say over the $90 monthly fee we pay to the Master Association. This amounts to $13,950 per month from townhome owners.

Secession would include annexation of all the slopes surrounding the townhomes and accepting the financial impact of maintaining or replacing appurtenant fencing and irrigation changes, as well as relinquishing the right to use amenities such as the tennis court and RV lot. It may be possible to negotiate the use of those items.

Costs would include legal work, irrigation changes and some administrative costs. An estimate of these costs will be provided after determination of homeowner interest. Savings to you the homeowner could be about half of the current $90.00 assessment.

Look for the questionnaire and respond with your interest by returning it with your next payment, faxing a message, or sending an email to tahomeascn@aol.com no later than July 15.
