That being said, I find it disturbing that the required public meeting, providing those paying the assessment an opportunity to take part in public comments on the proposed assessments, is conveniently held during the summer when approximately half the homeowners aren’t in the Villages and can not attend. It seems like they are trying to sneak it through? Why not hold the meeting during the busy season and give the most homeowners possible a chance to be involved in the process?

The timing also coincides with the budget build just prior to the next fiscal year.
It can't be done during the busy season since that is just three months into the year and too early to determine what will be needed for the next year.
Besides, how many people would actually attend the meeting and comment anyway?
