Mr. Marger was notified on Monday by Management. The plan is for the installation of television and internet to begin in May and be completed by July 1, 2021. The system will be run to each lot. Every resident has the freedom to have either tv, or internet, or both hooked up to their units. Residents may keep their current systems if they choose, and they may switch at any time.

Many questions have been answered, but Management understands that questions will arise. Please submit your questions through the HOA to Deborah Iturralde at Lot 322.

Deborah announced there would be a vote to select the option with a majority rule. She called for a vote on Option 1 and there were no ayes. A motion was made on the floor to vote for Option 3 and seconded; a show of hands was called for. The vote was 1 vote per household. 54 voted for Option 3. A motion was made to vote for Option 2 and seconded. A show of hands resulted in a count of 21.  A vote was called for by Deborah on Option 4 and no one made the motion to continue.

As several questions were raised and discussed pertaining to the tv and internet services, Deborah asked that questions be given to her and she would present them to Mr. Marger. Signature sheets were available, if they chose, for attending residents to vote to accept or reject Option 3. It was also announced that Block Captains would come door-to-door to get signatures and would have available the answers to the evenings questions. Finally, it was announced that residents who are soon leaving the Park may submit their vote via email and then will be asked to confirm when they return to the Park. Deborah asked for any further questions and there were none forthcoming, and the meeting was turned back over to the HOA.

 

POSTNOTE: I do not have any answers from Mr. Marger yet. When I receive them, I will send to Block Captains, post at the mail huts and on the message board.

It is unclear as to whether the upfront cost of $100 is a deposit or one-time charge. This will be answered with the other tv/internet questions.
