The important thing is to gather the inputs from the owners in order to identify our needs and wants. Thereafter the BOD has a clear mandate from their constituents and must (should) act on the wishes of the majority and not a vocal minority.Ev
I have mixed emotions. Not sure we would want to manage by polls. The input might be worth consideration, but I'm not sure I'd want to see the board act on every item deemed needed/wanted via a poll. By the way, even in board elections only a little over 50% typically vote so I'm not sure how much of a return would result. Joe Joe, the 50% who do not bother to vote either do not care, or feel that they do not know enough to make a good decision, and let the full timers decide. Let the folks who DO CARE, and take the trouble to be informed be part of the decision making. Part time people should have a say in what happens in Ocean Pines, and an electronic poll is a good way to do that. Our email addresses can be sent back with our ASSESSMENT PAYMENT or a ballot, and that way hopefully kept current. If someone changes a email address, they can let OPA know. People who do not pay assessments should not vote on anything....unless there is some REALLY good reason they didn't pay. I don't think a poll should be taken on every little thing, but property owners...full and part time need to be more involved in decisions. Nancy |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: If memory serves me right you projected a cost of approx.. $12,000. That is a fairly close estimate of the cost to mail some sort of a ballot to association members and the cost of returns.

Even with all the warts, a representative governing system is better than a true democracy. |
