Roseville Greens
HOA Dues and Inflation

Our community stands at a crossroads. As we approach the upcoming HOA board elections, it's time to reflect on the current board's performance and ask ourselves: Are we truly moving forward?

While the current board has maintained the status quo, they have failed to address critical issues and demonstrate a concerning lack of transparency and responsiveness to homeowner needs. Let's examine the facts:

• The Insurance Crisis: As detailed in the "Unveiling the Hidden Insurance Crisis Threatening Roseville Greens" report, our HOA insurance premiums have skyrocketed by 400% in recent years. Despite repeated calls for action and proposed solutions, the board has failed to implement any meaningful measures to mitigate this crisis, leading to a 20% HOA dues increase and the threat of further financial burdens on homeowners.

• Lack of Communication and Transparency: The board's communication practices raise serious concerns. From last-minute meeting notifications that suppress homeowner input (as discussed in the "State of the HOA Report 2024") to the lack of official announcements regarding board member resignations, transparency seems to be an afterthought. Where are the newsletters celebrating community achievements? Where are the updates on how our HOA dues are being used to improve our neighborhood?

• Missed Opportunities: While maintaining the status quo might seem sufficient to some, it represents a missed opportunity to enhance our community and increase property values. Imagine the possibilities if the board had proactively addressed the insurance crisis and reinvested those savings into improving common areas, exploring new amenities, and fostering a more vibrant community.

A Chance for Positive Change:

This election presents a critical opportunity for change. With three board seats to fill, we have the power to shift the balance and elect property owners who prioritize transparency, accountability, and proactive community improvement.

While experience can be valuable, it's essential to ask ourselves: Does the current board's track record demonstrate the kind of leadership we need to move Roseville Greens forward? Or is it time for a fresh perspective and a renewed commitment to serving the best interests of our community?

Let's elect a board that:

• Prioritizes open communication and transparency.

• Proactively addresses financial challenges and protects homeowner investments.

• Invests in community improvements and enhances property values.

• Fosters a welcoming and inclusive environment for all residents.

This election is our chance to shape the future of Roseville Greens. Let's choose a board that will work tirelessly to build a stronger, more vibrant, and more valuable community for all of us.

Vote for Change!

Imagine a Roseville Greens where neighbors connect, participate, and take pride in their community. A place where the HOA board acts as a supportive partner, fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone. This vision is achievable, but it requires a shift in how we approach HOA governance.

A truly effective HOA board goes beyond simply enforcing rules and collecting dues. It acts as a catalyst for community development, creating opportunities for residents to connect and contribute to the well-being of our neighborhood. This, in turn, directly benefits every homeowner by increasing property values and enhancing our quality of life.

What a proactive HOA board looks like:

• Open Communication: Instead of last-minute meeting notices and hidden agendas, imagine a board that proactively communicates with residents, providing ample notice for meetings and seeking input on important decisions.

• Financial Responsibility: Instead of unexplained insurance hikes and looming fee increases, imagine a board that prioritizes financial transparency and actively explores solutions to mitigate rising costs, protecting homeowners' investments.

• Community Engagement: Instead of neglecting common areas and suppressing resident voices, imagine a board that organizes community events, fosters a welcoming atmosphere, and encourages residents to participate in shaping the future of Roseville Greens.

A well-run HOA doesn't just maintain property values; it enhances them. Studies have shown that homes in well-managed communities with attractive amenities and strong community engagement tend to have higher property values than similar homes in neighborhoods without effective HOAs.

Unfortunately, the current state of our HOA falls short of this vision. As detailed in the "State of the HOA Report 2024" (link to your report), the board has demonstrated a concerning pattern of behavior that undermines transparency, accountability, and homeowner participation.

But it doesn't have to be this way. By electing board members who are committed to open communication, proactive problem-solving, and community engagement, we can transform Roseville Greens into a thriving and harmonious neighborhood where property values rise and residents thrive.

Let's work together to build a better Roseville Greens!

Summary: In a recent meeting, the Roseville Greens HOA board appointed a member to a vacant seat, bypassing the required election process outlined in our community bylaws. This action raises serious concerns about transparency, accountability, and the board's commitment to upholding our governing documents.

Key Points:

• Violation of Bylaws: The board's appointment directly contradicts Section 7.03 of our bylaws, which mandates that three board members be elected in even-numbered years. This disregard for established rules disenfranchises homeowners and undermines the democratic process within our community.

• Potential for Unfair Control: This appointment creates a potential 3-person coalition on the board, giving them significant control over HOA funds and decision-making. This raises concerns about potential conflicts of interest and decisions being made that may not reflect the best interests of the entire community.

• Lack of Transparency: The board's actions demonstrate a lack of transparency and a disregard for open communication with homeowners. This erodes trust and confidence in the board's leadership.

Call to Action:

We urge all Roseville Greens homeowners to:

• Attend future board meetings: Make your voice heard and demand that the board adhere to the bylaws and uphold the principles of transparency and accountability.

• Voice your concerns: Express your concerns about the board's actions and demand a commitment to fair elections and open communication.

• Get involved: Stay informed about HOA matters and actively participate in shaping the future of our community.

Together, we can ensure that our HOA operates in a fair, transparent, and democratic manner.
