I will tell you from experience the biggest issue facing TV in it's future is resident representation and good fiscal responsibility with annual budgets. Then there should no ex budget activitites or projects. For example the want of a covered swimming pool. It has to be justified and funded or it does not get done. And the residents who remain silent have the most to loose. There will be many wants and if not handled correctly will only lead to additional assessments on top of the existing amenity fees. The minority usually creates the problem and the majority complains AFTER the costs are passed along to the residents.



There will be no problem maintaining the current lifestyle and all that goes with it including increasing property values.....AS LONG AS THE RESIDENTS REMAIN FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE. We do not have the luxury of the federal government to spend beyond the means available.



I have participated in the good the bad and the ugly of resident ownership of amenities.

A benevolent dictator, aka the developer, is what we should all hope for.

A group run by committees to design a horse usually results in a camel. That is what you are asking for. I've been an HOA president in the past. Believe me - you don't want to go there
