Quorum Reached, Budget Passed, New Board Elected

We held our annual HOA membership meeting last night, reaching a quorum without your humble blog author having to camp at the mailboxes to collect proxy forms. Yay!

The HOA board passed the budget for 2016. It includes a slight increase in monthly HOA dues - up to $240 a month - after several years of no increase. Homeowners will get their coupon books in the mail within a few weeks.

The HOA board will keep four of its five directors from last year. We had only five people seek the  positions on the board so we did not have a competitive election.

Thank you for returning proxy forms and/or attending the meeting. It is important that we can elect our own board of directors because if we don't, it can ultimately cause us to have to pay someone a lot of money to do what your fellow owners currently do for free.

The board will not meet in December. The next scheduled meeting is Wednesday, January 27 at 7 p.m. After that the board will meet every third Wednesday of the month. All owners are welcome to attend board meetings. If you have any questions or concerns to relate, you can always email the board at board@stcharlesplace.us. You can also report any issues or problems you notice to our property manager, Excelsior Community Management, at StCharlesPlaceHOAmanagement@TampaBay.rr.com.
