Re: Resort management has changed from Southwind to the Colonnade (by Greg T.):
Is anyone planning to attend the meeting? If so, what is your planned approach to everything? I cannot attend. I would be glad to be an owner if things worked correctly again and they didn't make us pay for their past mistakes.
I am an odd year owner. After receiving a bill for 2019 dues I sent an email saying I do not plan to pay for 2019 and questioned why there was an extra charge on top of the maintenance fees.
This was their response:
You are still required to pay the 2019 fee, but because we weren’t open you couldn’t book. That is why you are being allowed to book in 2020.
Fees are due regardless of whether the resort is open.
Your resort has 2 accounts that your annual association fees are allotted to.
First line is the day to day operations: utilities, housekeeping etc…
Second line is large ticket items: roof or parking lot repair, replacing damaged appliances or furnishings – you need to have these funds immediately and cannot wait to have a vote and special assessment.
Please understand if you do not pay your 2019 fees, they will be hit with the late fee if not paid on time and could be sent to collections. This is not a threat, just letting you know the policy.
Paying your 2019 fees are not an option. We cannot undo what the previous ownership did to you the resort and other owners.
