I don't believe anyone in this community can say with any certainty that the association members want a new community center at this time.

The only sure way to know would be another referendum. Most of my responses about this issue somewhat defending the view that a CC is something that could be supported by the property owners are in response to Marty who likes to put his own twist on the referendum votes. For example, he views the last referendum as a surefire statement by lot owners that they want nothing to do with a CC and lumps this in with a narrow victory on the previous one which he views as an "almost lost" to indicate the property owners position is a definite "NO".

I happen to view it differently. The CC referendum that won by 212 votes was an indication that the property owners were in favor of a new CC even though the costs were more than many of us favored. The last referendum, in my opinion, had more to do with a rebuke by the Community to the dismal way the issue was handled by the Board than anything else. 

As an opinion, I would also like to say that the failed CC referendum [the one several years ago] and the narrow victory on the approved CC referendum suffered from some of the same problem. The planning committee bit off more than they could chew and insisted on pushing for a facility that was simply too big. They should have started smaller and , if successful, could have added on after phase on was built. I had hoped they had learned a lesson with that first failed referendum but apparently not.
