Who ‘we’ are…
We the People (WTP) is an organized group of like-minded HSV Property Owners (both resident & non-resident), who in the past have come together to pushback against BOD’s and POA top management when their ‘ideals’ alarmingly clash with the will of the majority of HSV Property Owners.
As we were during the 2018 Vote NO HSV grassroots campaign, ‘we’ are once again facing a fast-approaching pivotal vote, this time with proposed HSV assessment increase(s). Although WTP does not support either Option 1 or Option 2, of the proposed assessment increases ‘we’ do support the reasonable Option 3.
WTP position is: Let’s see how the current BOD’S spends/allocates a lesser amount of an assessment increase before saddling Property Owners with a broad brush 5-year assessment increase. Baby steps are needed to earn back the trust of the majority of Property Owners after years of grandiose spending by several BODs and POA top management.
To be crystal clear WTP is not opposed to an increase as long as it is accompanied by accountability that serves ALL Property Owners’ best interest. This has not been the practice for several years of HSV recent history
New Property Owners…please know that over the past 7 yrs. MILLIONS of Property Owners dollars were NOT directed toward infrastructure, but instead to too many poorly established pet projects.
Tomorrow, August 25th, the HSV Board of Directors will vote on the assessment increase option they decide is best for our Village. Should either Option 1 or 2, be passed by the BODs, WTP will put forth our best effort (once again), to encourage HSV like-minded Property Owners to Vote NO when ballots arrive in the mail the first week of October.

I’m very worried about all of the people on Social Security! Option 3 almost multiplies our dues 5 times what we currently pay in 5 years! I would be for a 2 year increase to see if the BOD can be the maintenance organization that they are supposed to be. 5 years is just way too much!

That is misinformation.
In 5 years it is less than 2 times current dues.
Hopefully it will be sufficient to cover all that is needed to be done..

That is a misstatement. Dues will have increased less than double in 5 years.
