Second and Final Special Members Meeting
The Second and Final Special Members Meeting - The Association is going to attempt to hold the "Second and Final Call" of the Special Members Meeting where Members will vote to increase the assessments from 3% to 5% for fiscal year 2024 to enable the Association to lease enough Flock cameras to cover each entrance to the community. At the first call for a Special Members Meeting quorum was not achieved. According to our Governing Documents Quorum is reduced for the second and final called meeting from 542 to 271 ballots. A minimum of 271 ballots must be received for the second meeting or there will be no quorum and the votes will not be able to be counted. At present the Association needs approximately 106 more ballots to be able to hold the meeting. Meeting will be scheduled for immediately after HOA election on October 21st, 2023. The vote has remained open since the first meeting. If you have already cast a ballot on this issue your original ballot remains valid.
It would be nice if we could do just one thing to enhance security and go to bed knowing we have done everything we could. Unfortunately, in the real-world security is multi-leveled and ever changing. The license plate readers are being offered as an additional level of protection to assist our understaffed and overworked law enforcement agencies develop leads to solve crimes should they happen. 80% of property crime and over 50% of violent crime goes unsolved due to the lack of leads. Every week we see news reports where criminals have been caught because of the license plate readers. The bottom line is that the cameras work. Because of inflation the Board will have to increase assessments for 2024 by 3%. The Board is asking for permission to increase the assessment an additional 2% ($10.09 per household) to assist in the funding of the cameras.
An official notice for the second meeting will be mailed to each Homeowner’s address of record. You can vote at any time by copying the ballot from the below link on the OWG web site and sending it to Gina by mail, fax or sending to Gina@sterlingasi.com or putting it in the locked mailbox in the back park.
