So if you take just one month of each softball player's amenities fees and put it towards the complex and don't take a penny from anybody else's amenities fees to support it - the complex is fully paid for.

Sounds fair to me. I'm sure most softball players would be willing to pay two months worth of amenities fees towards the complex. That being so, IMO the district should go back and decide to put one month of amenities fees ($500k) towards renovations and upgrades every 5-7 years.


I am SO glad that the people who have been managing the monies where I live STILL manage the monies where I live.


Someone asked in another debate on the restored trees....WHERE DID THEY GET THE MONEY TO DO THAT? When I replied that I was sure that there was money for unexpected things budgeted and that we wouldn't be personally charged...., He replied We don't need a slush fund. The idea of being self insured and budgeted for maintenance is new to some, as well as living inside our income.


We just can't have everything we want. And we can't have everything they want, or she wants, or he wants, and still run in the black. Prices will have to go up somewhere.

OH PLEASE DEVELOPERS, continue to run this place as you have. I so respect your good judgment.
