Zulu restoration— Don’t deplete our reserve account for this project without presenting all options to the entire membership for a straw vote.
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...

Revised Agenda for 2023 Annual Meeting
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...

Developer's Vision
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
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...
Blatant Misrepresentation by the Current Board
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...

Agenda Item for Oct. Board Meeting--new water impact unit
There will be a vote on a new water impact at Savannah Square. I am against adding more impact units. Why? First our water bill is $4,200 per month. For what, to water plants that don't need it (i.e. grasses, palmetos, etc.) If your landscaping includes the right plants, they should not have to be watered. I say...

If approved please use the TIPOA email list to share ...
Rants and Raves
Kudos for having courts clear within 3 days of Hurricane Idalia. Kudos to the board for posting a notice on a dog that got loose the day before the Hurricane. Rant. While the lawn crew is (on labor day) doing a great job of clearing the easement for non-residents, the crew should do all easements or none. Residents and non-residents all...
