Marty, I understand completely.
However, it is not human nature for the average association member to have a copy of the three-inch thick budget in their home, as you do, for personal perusal and dailly consideration. Sometimes big changes can be sparked by what you might view as a trivial item, but grab the attention of the public and bring out their frustrations with the entire system. This food cart proposal may be just such an item -- an aggravating symbol that sparks a degree of outrage. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Joe: Why do we, the Ocean Pines membership, always focus on the minutia? A new food truck at $55,000 is equal to approximately $6.51 of the proposed assessment in the 2016-2017 budget. Peanuts. Silly yes, but peanuts when compared to the real problems. The 8th year of the slush fund in the amount of $1,233,992.00 cost each and every one of us $146.00 in our assessment. I have not heard one peep about the proposed $261,024.00 increase in payroll, or $30.88 from each of us. That increase is a budget to budget increase and is really well over a $320,000.00 increase from last year's actual payroll. That is almost $38.00 from each of us. Not a peep. There is $75,000.00 in the proposed budget to study a new police station, but not one dime to fix the 43 year old and completely failed HVAC system at our long neglected Country Club. Wow! Marty |
