A Disgrace, Finance committee....Most people were told that the meeting
would ONLY go over the budget and no changes would be made. BUT, because so
many were afraid of the delegates voting down the budget they decided to make
changes at this meeting. DELEGATES..you are the ones in charge....VOTE THE
BUDGET DOWN...and make every committee member sharpen their pens and their
brains....Let them start to think what is BEST for the VILLAGE. Wake up
delegates we NEED your input. As being a resident that is away it was very
frustrating NOT to be able to hear people speak...Not everyone used a mic and
maybe we should invest money into BETTER mics. When a meeting is being taped NO
ONE should be able to talk unless they use the MIC..Thank You......Barbara

The next Delegate Assembly is three weeks away. Between then and now, the Delegates need to know what their options are, so that clear and easily understandable motions can be made.
ReplyDeleteCan the Delegates make a motion to add or remove specific line items to or from the proposed 2014 budget?
If so, will the successful vote on such a motion delay budget adoption?
If budget adoption is delayed, what will be the practical and financial consequences for CV Homeowners?
If Delegates are prevented from motioning to alter the proposed 2014 budget, then their only option would be to approve or reject the budget. If Delegates voted to reject, how long would it take for UCO to prepare a new budget for Delegate consideration and vote? Again, what would' be the consequences of such a delay?
Hi don, So we would go on the budget we have or make people move a little quicker to the wishes of the delegates.
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara,
ReplyDeleteObviously, I am pissed about WiFI, and after watching the Finance Committee meeting, I am convinced that at least one, and possibly three of the committee members that voted to defund the project did so out of pure spite over the former golf course. People in that room were literally shaking with anger about having to give up that line item for fear of angry Delegates crashing the budget.
In that atmosphere, committee members who advocate UCO funding for the Reflection Bay legal battle were in no mood to bow again to the will of the Delegates that elected them. Angry Delgates forced the finance committee to drop the money for PRPC. Their revenge was to zap WiFi.
As with all things UCO, the Delegates have the final say on the matter. What I am trying to figure out is; what are their options? Must the Delegates crash the entire budget in order to compel the finance committee to honor their wishes? Or can Delegates vote to add or remove specific line items without crashing the entire budget?
Hi Don, A VERY GOOD question, maybe that should be addressed to the Head of the Finance Committee...Ms. Tetro...She made the deciding vote when it was tied??
ReplyDeleteHow can Ms Tetro now that we know
