Agenda Attached— https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GRKUYpau-bMwQMb55Wpkd1RLyOv4SfUE/view?usp=drive_link Note the Board will be presenting quotes for a financial audit and the shoreline restoration project.I do not know if they will vote on these and other quotes at the meeting.I have not received any notice about zoom logins for the meeting. Another...

In my opinion, we should not embark upon a $100k living shoreline if there are less expensive options for maintaining the integrity of the dock landing (i.e. extending the landing 8 foot and let nature take its course).My opinion is based upon the fact that the $100k expenditure would have to come from the reserve fund.This would reduce the reserve...

A Big Thank You to Doug and Lu for putting up Christmas decorations at the gates and other Tolomato common areas!!!  It makes the neighborhood look very nice for the Christmas season!!!

 ELECT FRESH CANDIDATES ON SATURDAY The current Board decided to move the Vote for New Board Members right ahead of the Financial Report thereby moving the Financial Reports and the approval of the 2024 Budget AFTER MEMBERS HAVE PLACED THEIR VOTES FOR THE 2024 BOARD. You have to ask yourself WHY? Well, now you have been asked to place your vot...

On the day before Thanksgiving at 7:30 in the evening, the Board sent, via email, a revised agenda for the 12/2 Annual Membership Meeting.  I have supplied a link at the end in the event you missed the "last-minute" communication. The time (3:30 to 5:30) has not changed. The Board did rearrange the agenda items. The Board decided move the vote...

Lot's of people have been asking about the voting procedures.  Please see below an email thread with Susan.  Do they have a new set of voting procedures or are they winging it?  Everyone will receive the voting procedures at the same time, when we send them out through the website.

I am so tired of hearing about the developers vision and desire to preserve green spaces and natural quiet.  Let's ignore the slick marketing for a moment and look at the developer's actions.  I happen to know the developer personally and his family well.  I used to hang out with his sister all the time.  The deve...

Level the Playing Field The Board told us that the dollar value of delinquent accounts is concentrated in a handful of properties. Purchases of these distressed properties result in TIPOA recovering these accounts and replaces the accounts with paying home owners, thus purchases of distressed properties should be encouraged. Purchases of these dist...

To Tolomato Property Owners, I was asked to prepare an introduction for a letter to be presented at the June 19th, 2023 Board meeting. The letter was addressed to the current Board with the intent to hopefully engage the Board in open discussion with many who live here; the following is an excerpt from that introduction. Good evening, I h...

Candidates Anderson, Brenton, Bigham, Bagwell and Rowe WANT to maintain the pond as a special amenity!!! Rumors are swirling that they will not maintain the pond.  THAT is NOT true.  Go on the website and ASK the candidates themselves instead of listening to the divisive, negative campaigns and rumors being spread by others...

The November 6, 2023 Tolomato Owwer's newsletter appropriately notes that the Board is in error when the Board stated that "several members have requested" that a financial audit be performed. A "proposal" for an "operational" audit was presented to the board at the June 2023 board meeting (see attached). I authored and presented the audit pro...

Reflection would be a function of a desire to best serve and represent the interests of the community.  If, however, decisions are driven more by personal agenda, then no reflection is necessary...I fear none will be forthcoming. The sad reality of the past Boards of 5 or 6 years is that owners or anyone with a simple difference of o...
