As we understand it the 2015 Budget must be approved by Nov. 1, 2015. That is exactly three weeks from today.
In the past our budgets were approved by Pulte, and then after the first of they year given to residents as a matter of fact. They were adopted with no input from the residents through the previous Board.
On October 22, 2014 "our" first year Board of Directors is scheduling a meeting to review the proposed budget. This writer has mixed feelings regarding this process. We like the idea of having a meeting (plus a workshop at later date) for discussion however we believe there should be more time allotted for public comment. Regarding the non public workshop it is just not enough.
The Board has set Nov 1st as a date for approving the 2015 budget. In doing this they have put themselves in a position where they are almost forced to approve it. There is a better way. Simply start this process in September, and of course recognize who is paying the Bills.
Concerned residents should sign up to speak at the Oct. 22 Board Meeting and ask that all items be justified, that the Board note that this is residents money, and that it is their responsibility to, do as promised, and hold the line on spending.
