Some time ago I urged the strategic planning group to simply disband due to inaction after being in existence for some time with no published product. Last Thursday night I decided to attend a meeting along with some other members of the Pride group.
When I am wrong I will admit it. This group is simply in the process of putting together plans for the future that can be implemented with the prerequisites of available cash and the support of the property owners. This is not a bad thing. Currently there is no money being spent on the planning by any outside service, this is all in house by those volunteers involved.
A lot of the discussion revolved around how to get community input for ideas as well as their opinions on possible future projects to make our association an even better place to reside. I have to admit I was impressed with the discussion and left with a new attitude, learning once again not to prejudge without actual observation. These are good people trying to formulate a plan we can look at and make our decisions, not trying to mandate new programs.
A new subject…….A few days ago I asked anyone who felt the CC&R rewrites should be supported and given a yes vote to drop us an email. The number of positive responses…..ZERO. That should be the icing on the cake. These are toast. We should not waste the postage expense of mailing these out for a vote. Cut the losses, tell the attorney to cease all further work on them, and we should make amendments as necessary to existing documents.
All copy above regarding strategic planning is my personal opinion and may or may not reflect the opinion of the Pride group as a whole.
