Hello to those of you in attendance at the AGM and interested in a property tax appeal. I apologize I was not better prepared with handouts. My arm cast of seven weeks had just been removed. I have made notes of specific suggestions to help with appeals based on our experiences. If interested, I would send these to you via email. Request a copy by sending to: oldbushpilot@icloud.com Hoping it may be helpful. Linda B.
This is the message to the board regarding the Children's Holiday Party: "A guest is a guest, who decided if someone walks through the door and does not live in Snowline that that person should not pay? You are spending rental fees on parties for whom you want."
Once again, people do not have the facts, yet feel the need to spout their negative rhetoric.
And so it continues. It has been suggested that we should charge for guests. I let this member know that she is welcome to bring her guests/renters and that there would be no charge.
This event is held for children! It would be appreciated if people with nothing constructive to say kept their rude comments to themselves.
I spoke at the AGM yesterday because I wanted to better understand comments from you, Marcel and others about not returning to the board or volunteer roles due to growing negativity.
As a second-generation member and former board member, I’m genuinely concerned about the hostility, aggression and criticism directed at volunteers. It’s disheartening to see this behavior pushing away long-time volunteers who have given so much of their time, talent, and positive energy to support and strengthen our community.
I don’t have an easy answer. Constructive feedback is always welcome, but constant complaints and personal attacks don’t strengthen our community. Some individuals repeatedly criticize, assume negative intent, and rarely offer to help or contribute positively.
We teach our kids to stand up to bullies in school — maybe it’s time we do the same here in our HOA. We can't ignore bad behavior — people need to be held accountable.
For those of you who attended the AGM remotely, apologies if it took a while to get things going. Unfortunately, I was doing double duty, grilling the sausages since 9 AM and organizing the IT side of the meeting. I had to head back to my cabin to get extra cables and gear to connect the phone in the room.
So, apologies if folks had to attended a "meeting in mime.". Again, not intentional, just too many balls in motion.
Update: for those searching online sites for comparable sales to use for appeal, it appears that realtor.com has dropped some 2024 sales. Perhaps stick with zillow.com to save yourself some time. LB
