Dear Islander Unit Owner,
As you may have heard, the Board of Directors of the Islander HOA recently circulated a notice indicating the need for a special assessment of approximately $20,000 per unit.
A majority of unit owners have indicated that a non-emergency special assessment of such magnitude is something that needs to be discussed openly and transparently with greater opportunity for input from unit owners, and that a series of webinars or “teleconferences” is not the appropriate format for such a discussion.
Additionally, many owners have also indicated concern about the timing of such expenditures, given the fact that the nation is in a state of financial and economic crisis, and many people are not working and thus not earning.
As such, by signing the petition below, we ask that the Islander HOA Board of Directors:
- Not sign ANY new contracts (including contracts related to the special assessment R.I.P. Project) other than those required for routine property maintenance until after the Annual Owners meeting
- Cancel the scheduled “series of teleconferences” in relation to the R.I.P. project
- Reschedule the Annual Owners Meeting to September 2020 as discussed in the last board meeting when owners have an opportunity to attend, offer input and ask questions in-person about the R.I.P Project
Thank you for your participation in your community. Please indicate your unit number in the comment section when signing the petition.

Seeing the momentum pick up makes me think that maybe we actually have a shot at getting a real conversation going with the Board since this much support is impossible for them to ignore now. Everyone deserves to feel like their financial stability matters more than some rushed project that nobody even asked for in the first place.

Given the state of the economy around the U.S. and the world, together with so many unknowns, I am deeply disappointed in the HOA requesting such a large, non-emergency special assessment for which most homeowners have not received full disclosure. In addition, to use the low occupancy as an "opportunity" during these dark times of economic downturn, unemployment, illness and even death is an unforgivable abuse of power.
Seems like a very high quote for painting compared to the old one. This definitely needs to be discussed further before any formal action is done. The annual meeting needs to be moved back. Nothing should be done at this time.
For the Board of Directors to notify Islander Homeowners of a $20,000 per unit assessment AFTER the beaches have been closed by state mandate, when owners are facing a rental income loss of $10,000+ per unit, is HEARTLESS! This reeks of a corporate takeover by RQ to force financially vulnerable condo owners to sell during a tragic healthcare crisis when there is rampant unemployment and the threat of serious illness. Unfortunately our disingenuous Board of Directors has assisted in this effort by passing the assessment without a prior meeting to discuss the issues with all condo owners. SHAME on all of you! You will be exposed!
Islander 3009. The timing of an additional assessment is terrible given the close of rentals and resulting loss of income for all owners.
Very bad timing. An assessment of this magnitude certainly should be discussed at an open meeting of all homeowners.

I do not want an eventual special of $60k like Emerald Isle but I think it is absolutely ridiculous to ask people to pay out during a health pandemic and economic downturn. This needs to be discussed next year because, like it or not, this thing will more than likely come back with a vengeance in the Fall. No, I don't claim to be a virus expert. I just know how to ask the people that are.
