Why can’t the Homeowners participate in the Annual Candidates Election Forum?

The HOA’s  Annual Candidates Election Forum is scheduled on January 8th, 2022 at 2:00 pm.
This will be a Zoom meeting.  The Homeowner attendees will not be able to ask questions or have a dialog with any of the Candidates.  Any questions for the candidates must be submitted to the HOA before the meeting.  A “representative sample of the questions” will be used at the Candidates Election Forum.
This format raises a number of questions?
  • Who is going to decide what the “representative sample of the questions” will be?

  • Will “representative sample questions” introduce filtered content and bias into the questions the board decides to include in the forum?

  • Will each question be directed to all Candidates?
 
  • What provisions are there for securing the questions and assuring the no candidate will see the questions before the forum?
 
  • Who is going to read the questions and moderate?

  • How can the homeowners get to know the candidates if they cannot have a direct conversation with the candidates?
 
  • If the purpose of the forum is for homeowners to ask questions of the candidates, why are we having a Zoom meeting where all homeowners are not allowed participate?

​The HOA Recall Outcome


The recall of Peter Webb is now over.  There were 685 homeowners that voted.  314 Homeowners voted to recall Peter and 370 voted to keep him.  This means that almost half of the homeowners that voted believed that the recall was warranted.

Peter now has one more year on the board and likely will want to remain as President of our HOA.  As homeowners, we can hope that Peter now understands that he represents every homeowner and he narrowly escaped being recalled.

The questions going forward are:
​
  • What will Peter and the Board do to reunite the disenfranchised homeowners?

  • How will the board be more inclusive in the makeup of their committees and represent the diversity of homeowners?

  • Has the board learned that increases in fees and dues should be based on actual data and that increases should be subject to reviews to determine if the increases were warranted?

  • Will all homeowners be treated with respect regardless of opinions?
