Several home owners have received a letter (at your expense) to give them a "friendly reminder" to clean your roof. Penalties could be imposed in event of failure to comply.
The problem, as some see it, is the issue of whos' job it is to clean roofs, and to paint house exteriors. The issue has been discussed by the Board. They moved that there be a question on the ballot for home owners decide the issue. This will be done at the March meeting in 2015.
The HOA Documents currently say it is the Association's responsibility to do the above mentioned work. The HOA has not done this work since day one. They now want to officially shift responsibility to the owner. At the same time many owners want the responsibility to be in their own hands.
The Boards' motion was: To give home owners the responsibility by changing our ruling documents. A 51% vote is required.
The bottom line is the roofs should be cleaned, and houses painted when needed. There will always be a cost. It is a matter of: Who is collecting, controlling the funds, and scheduling the work. Can the home owner be trusted to do the job, or is the HOA better at scheduling and doing the job.
There are probably many other issues, but the good thing is the home owners will make the decision. Lets make the right decision.
