Please sign this petition to call for Special Meeting to discuss the $6000 Community Pass admin fee added to budget without General Membership approval. The board signed a contract with Community Pass in October. If this money is paid out in 2024, it is not in our budget. We requested changes to the 2025 budget at the meeting in October, when re-presented at the General Membership meeting in November they asked for an approval vote again, and we declined to vote. They are now saying the budget was already approved in October.

Broken Sound Special Meeting

We need to keep our dues as low as possible. This additional amount is going to put some of us out of reach.
I'm already struggling with the decision to join and support my community and watching dues go up annually.

Thanks for the info
I support the call for a special meeting a) the software was not approved to be purchased in 2024, no mention was made during the 2023 budget meeting or throughout 2024, however per President it was purchased in October 2024. b) the 2024 Administrative account nor the budget in its entirety have $6000 left to spend in 2024. Total spendable is $3,979.24. c) Even if the BOT President is correct that membership approved budget which includes the software it can not be spend until 2025. e) The proposed 2025 Administrative Budget is $50,000. Unless the BOT finds savings of $2,000 in 2025 their won't be enough $ in the budget to carry the cost of the software. Where does the money come from? f) Other options have not been discussed and additional cost to membership e.g. paying with credit card adds cc charge have not been fully disclosed to membership. g) I would like to see the cost benefit analysis between all the options we had to make informed decision. As of now I ´hear 'that equal software can be configured on our website, similar to Highcrest Lake for a cost of no more than $2,000. I would like to understand a $4,000 member benefit. If it is manpower that is needed to support membership, historically members helped with badges etc. Thank you Tara for taking the initiative

I’m signing this petition because we were told at the budget meeting that we could not discuss community pass and it would have to wait until the general membership meeting. The board then went and signed a contract before letting the membership discuss or vote at the general membership meeting.
