What are the reasons for a board change now vs. waiting to October?
A Recall now will bring new management dedicated to financial transparency and fair leadership. (And you still get to vote again this fall.)
Despite rumors otherwise, the legal cost to our community for executing this Recall under Florida law is exactly $0.
(And why would our current management/attorney fight the will of the membership?)

Why change now?
Blind Budgets: Last year, Members were rushed to approve a $2 Million budget (4x the size of prior year) that was available for review for less than a week with zero input from homeowners.
The Club's operating loss was first disclosed to homeowners during a zoom-only townhall on November 6, 2025. Then the board passed it on November 11, without distributing printouts (or displaying it in Zoom) for homeowners. Let's not repeat that chaos this year!
Declining Property Values: We have over 36 homes for sale now, all below market values. Our increasing deficit can't wait to be corrected until after the autumn election.
By then, homes may have already been purchased at a discount by investors to become rentals, (then those landlords will vote on behalf of those properties!)
Reduced Affordability : Monthly fees for Villas now stand at $676 per month when including the $108 Club loan payoff and prorated quarterly Lagoon, Master HOA fees.
For single family homes, it is now $572 monthly.
Mandated Policies: Restrictive new policies are approved by the board without first posting to membership.
The one exception was the Club Conduct Policy which got meaningful membership input and was successfully revised for the following meeting. However, both before and after that, multiple other policies were not posted in advance for homeowners' review. Squishy accounting practices: The board authorized borrowing an additional $1.5M in our Club loan for unspecified "reserves" with little oversight (and questions go unanswered at open meetings.)
The January 2025 $170,000 Special Assessment wasn't spent as promised. The board granted the President emergency spending authority for up to $5,000 in between board meetings -- with only one other consenting board member, via email -- and that policy is still in place! (Announcements at board meetings are just a formality.) Large contracts do not follow best practices for competitive bidding. And the list goes on....
Remember the cost to our community for executing this recall under Florida law is exactly $0.
Protect your property values and your rights. All that's needed is 50+1 % (that's 428 homes) to ensure fiscal transparency and fair leadership in our community.
We recognize and are grateful for the extraordinary effort of many our neighbors who work long hours to govern our community. 😍 However, the fact is we now have a $2 million annual budget with large reserves and cannot continue running it like it was a quarter of its size.
PS A few people may justify the board's past decisions based on the complicated purchase of the clubhouse, but don't forget that it was their conscious decision to rush it (since we had until April of 2027 per the Club Plan milestone.) Since then, we discovered that our premature purchase is now considered a cautionary tale for the four other Lennar properties with a similar Club Plan.
