The Unhappy Home Owners

Well, the HOA board finally made a decision and we sent out a letter for a one time assessment on the ditch that we own and the feedback has not been pretty. I have one email from a resident that thinks we are stealing money from the regular dues, we don't get anything done, is threatening to try and disban the HOA (good luck with that) and then his final note to the board was "Srew You!" I do understand that we gave short notice with spring fast approaching, but really people it's only $75.00. Unfortunately though we also wrote something in the letter regarding the town and that if we didn't get the ditch done soon it would be possible that they might hire someone and charge us and it would cost us more. The town was not happy with that and I get an email full from them and they were not happy with the residents calling and yelling at them either. Oh well. We'll see what happens. The biggest thing for me is that we have been talking about this stupid ditch at meetings, including annual meetings, for the past 2 years and those that are mad are the people that didn't bother to come to a meeting or read the minutes. I will have to find a way to mend my relationship with some of the town staff again though, we'll see how our meeting in May goes and if they yell at me or what words they have.
