The Board of Directors Closing Comments
\nRRA Annual Meeting
\nApril 29, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

The RomeRock Association is a Homeowners Association (HOA).\u00a0 It means that we collectively pay for the operation and amenities.\u00a0 Roads, pools, pavilions, RL lots are common amenities.\u00a0 If this is a concept that you can cannot embrace, then maybe, it\u2019s time you look elsewhere for another community to live in.\u00a0 You bought into this HOA concept when you bought your property.\u00a0 It is not a new concept instituted by this Board or past Boards.\u00a0 It was instituted by the Developer in the 1960s before turning the property over to the Association.\u00a0 The HOA has been in place going on 51 years.\u00a0 It is a very common practice by this Lake Community as well as others.\u00a0 This Board is not going to move to an a la carte system of paying for Roads, pools and other amenities; it would be an impossible task.<\/p>\n

The Board is charged with doing what is best for the Community.\u00a0 There are 1300 Members.\u00a0 Of those 1300 about 1100 are paying dues\/assessments.\u00a0 Attendance at Board Meetings is about 25 Members maximum.\u00a0 About 2%.\u00a0 Remember when a couple shows up at a meeting from one address, that is one Member.\u00a0 When the Board makes a decision, we make it based on what we believe is best for the Community, taking into account the other 98% of the dues\/assessment paying Members that are not present at a Board Meeting.\u00a0 It is a difficult task.\u00a0 Remember your Board is made up of unpaid volunteers, charged with doing the best we can.\u00a0 We don\u2019t guarantee to be right every time, but we try, and we do pledge to make decisions for the betterment of the Community, not the betterment of an individual.\u00a0 We may make decisions that you do not like, but we believe we made the best decisions for the Community as a whole.<\/p>\n

The Board has been to several other Lake Communities and this is by far the best.\u00a0 We here at the RomeRock Association, have a great Manager, great Office & Maintenance Staff, the biggest and best Lake, best pools, best beaches, the best Lake Management group, the best roads, and now the best Office.\u00a0 There are Lake Associations with better volunteerism, better \u00a0funding sources, but there are no Lake communities with: a Lake our size, two pools, two clean sandy beaches, a sand volley ball court, tennis courts, paved pavilions, assorted restrooms, and an ongoing dredging project.\u00a0 And we now exceed these other Communities with our Office.\u00a0 You get these things for about $65\/month.\u00a0 The Board recommends that you visit other Lake Communities and compare.<\/p>\n

When you leave the Clubhouse today hold your head high:
\nYour Board has your interest at Heart.
\nYou made a good decision to be part of this beautiful Community.
\nIt\u2019s not perfect, but it is Great.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
