Hello Fellow Homeowners,
Happy New Year!
I received the letter today for the $165.00 H.O.A. fee. Did the fee go up from last year? Did I miss a vote or something?
Also, the meeting is scheduled for January 20, 2009 to "approve the budget", so wouldn't an increase in the annual fee come if/when the budget is approved? Can there be a vote to lower it? I think we could get by on less.
I was a little surprised to see an increase. I know the town of Milford provides us with quite a bit, and for that we pay taxes. I am also questioning what amount of responsibility the Homeowners have at this time. The main problems I see are due to the builder and on vacant lots, such as: flooding, construction equipment, and upkeep. It seems that such a drastic increase in these economic times is unjustified and unnecessary.
I will be interested to see where such a large amount of money goes in the upcoming meeting. The prior budget was vague and inflated in my opinion. I hope the preparation of this budget proposal is a little more clear and reasonable.
Thank You,
Rob Wolhar
