Enclave at White Rock Homeowners' Association

Playground survey

Michael,

Welcome to the boards!

I'm hosting the survey on my website and helped write an early draft. You are not the first person to bring up the point that there isn't room to say we don't want a playground. The short answer, one that Greg already mentioned and one that was briefly discussed at the annual meeting, is that the survey was written by the playground committtee to help them guage what kind of playground the people who do want a playground would want. The survey was designed to collect that specific information so the playground committee could develop a plan on which people could then vote yes or no. God knows that hasn't stopped anyone from using the survey to voice their opposition to a playground. All those responses were received and every single one of them was read.

I believe the Wednesday meeting is designed to help some of the opponents and supporters find some middle ground. To help them come to some agreements that might help make a playground acceptable to the most people possible. Some people find the whole idea of a playground totally unacceptable and there's nothing anyone can say or do to change their minds, that's fine. They, however, might not find this meeting very productive.

There will be a final proposal that everyone will get to vote on. That vote will decide the playground issue one way or the other.

Thanks for your response. Schedule permitting, I will attend the meeting. I appreciate your efforts.

next step

In light of last night's meeting, when does the Committee anticipate circulating to the homeowners a specific proposal? Do you anticipate including detailed backup together with the proposal such as all cost assumptions and bids? If not, why not? For example, it was pretty clear that little or no work had been done to address the liability and coverage issues. Are we going to see a written opinion by outside counsel vis liability issues? Are we going to see a coverage assessment by which ever carrier HOA uses in re the possible impact on premiums? Once the proposal is circulated to the homeowners, is the Committee going to host a meeting to answer questions or defend the proposal? How much lag time do you anticipate between the date the proposal goes to the homeowners and it being voted on by the Board?
