Your comments in today's Pines Progress about the referendum voting were very interesting.  So here's a copy of a portion of that report.  Seems very significant that the total ballots cast were quite a strong total.

That quote:  Trendic said the overwhelming majority of voters in the support of his referendum “illustrated that members want to be involved in major financial decisions affecting our community. Consider these total ballot numbers. In the last year board election a total of 2,759 ballots were counted and in the 2019 that total was 3,073. For my referendum question a total of 3,889 ballots were counted. This clearly says the members want the opportunity to voice their opinion on how the association’s money is being spent. And that they wish to have some control on any large capital expenditure over $1 million. [bold added]

Too bad the board had to spend the membership funds on legal and administrative costs, when the should have initially honored the petition from over 800 members.  Shameful waste.  Showing stubbornness and an aloof attitude.  

Can't come soon enough for all that crew's terms of office to expire.  Maybe that's an election slogan. 

Again, congratulations for your tenacity and the successful results.
