Dear Homeowner:

 

Bromley Park Condominiums, LLC., (the "Developer") has operated the pool facilities as well as the other functions of the Community Association since 2007. The years 2005 and 2006 were handled by Pulte and Land Arc Management. Dues assessments at $100 per unit have fallen short of expenses year after year creating increasing deficits. The Developer and prior management have used delay tactics to run-up debts by not paying vendors including pool operations vendors, and Township assessments (currently two years in arrears). This situation came to light and was averted when a vendor threatened to file liens on all of our homes if the debts were not addressed and contacted the HOA (Homeowners Association) Board to try to apply pressure on the Developer. This delay tactic has run its course because of the current economic situation.

 

After investigation, no improprieties were discovered and payments appear to be appropriate, and the problem appears to stem from the original assumptions when the dues were set... that there would be 266 homes and 228 condominiums contributing to support the Community Association operation including the pool facilities, but the reality is only 75 condominiums have been sold. Further the lack of payment by some HOA members over the years has further eroded the revenue base. Fewer units to support amenities means higher annual costs for those obligated to support operations... prior dues assessments were too low and must be made up eventually.

 

The Community Association. has proposed that each member be assessed an additional one-time assessment of $150 in order to pay past debts to vendors and the Township and to support operations for this summer. Funds from the 2009 annual assessment of $100 will pay these debts, but will leave virtually no funds for 2009 operations including pool operations which would have to be suspended for lack of funds. The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions require the Home Owners Association place the decision to create an additional special assessment before the membership for vote with the majority approving this assessment before the Community Association can levy the assessment.

 

Attached to this letter is a budget for the Community Association for 2009 recently created after our investigations. Please review this budget to fully understand the current financial situation. This decision must be made prior to preparations for opening the pool since pool operations will be dependent upon passing this assessment. If approved, the assessment would be due by August 1,2009 and would apply to all homeowners regardless of their vote on this issue.

 

The pool operation is an integral part of the amenities of the Bromley Community and its operations can affect property values and marketability of homes in our Community. In addition, moth-balling the pool for a year may affect the costs of restarting operations next year and the dues requirements for 2010 and beyond. Your vote should reflect what is best for the Community as a whole.

 

Please return your ballot by Friday, May 2nd so that the decision concerning the assessment can be formalized prior to pool opening preparations. A return envelope is enclosed for your use. - Note: Deadline has been extended -
