Section IV Meeting Today

I don't know what happened at the last board meeting (whoever sets the time for them declined to reschedule in order for my wife--who is a member--to attend), but there were things discussed that could affect everyone, depending on today's vote(s).

Although I have asked in the past how I can be informed about upcoming board matters, no one has replied to my request. I have not received an agenda for today's meeting, so I don't know which of the following will be discussed or voted on. However, here were some of the issues from the Sept. meeting, which apparently were expected to come up for vote today:

DECKS

The board is apparently discussing the possibility of replacing all decks or just some. Some alternatives, I believe, would require an assessment. Also unclear to me, is who decides which decks get replaced. How do we get our decks on the list? What's the mechanism? As far as I know, even board members have no information about this. Anyone who does have information on these issues has yet to disseminate it to the general, Section IV membership.

PAINTING

Apparently, some discussion was held on which units will be done first. Again, I'm aware of no attempt to disseminate information to us about any outcomes of those discussions or what options are on the table.

There was also some mention in the agenda for the previous meeting about "need[ing] money" to paint and replace siding. It's not clear to me whether that means an assessment is also under consideration for this issue.

NOTE

I won't be surprised if someone comes along and poo-poos this as fear-mongering or something, and then answers all these questions. My point is that no one is making sure we have the information BEFORE decisions get made. So, if you have answers, please post them so everyone can see. With any luck, we'll begin to get this kind of information shared with everyone PRIOR to 24 hours ahead of meetings.
