To: Mr. Mahlum, SVL Board chairman, and the lake elitists of SVL
From: Just a Proxy of SVL
Why should all the homeowners of SVL, all 4000, pay for lake upkeep for the very few who use it? What % of homeowners use these facilities? What is spent each year to maintain the lake? What does the safety department do? Where is it when needed, possibly on the phone to the sheriff? The lake is in trouble, water is expensive, how so? The association has to advertise for water rights in the want ads section of the Daily Press, why? How expensive will that be? Good luck.
When yearly fees were $300, the lake and the association overhead were not as much an issue, but at $900 they very much are. If the vote to renew the CC&Rs is passed, where will fees go in the next 15 years? The demise of the association as presently constituted, is inevitable. The board and it’s politicking can only stall that ending. Why not devise a cost structure that more fairly taxes the residents of SVL? You won’t and the reasons are obvious.
