The platform

Reduce owners' costs.Reset the community's trajectory.Operating expenses rose 61%, from $1.59M in 2022 to $2.57M in 2026. Evaluate every contract, vendor and service provider. Use technology, automation and common sense. Run The Place as a cost center, not a revenue generator.
Professionally manage all projects.Experienced owners control underwriting, negotiation and management of every project.Every renovation and project with competitive bids, compared and accessible to you. A clear scope of work, reasons for every decision, and precision management.
Provide full access and transparency.All your questions answered from one source of truth, 24/7/365.All financials, bids, Board decisions, minutes and recordings, open to every owner. Reports delivered automatically before every Board and committee meeting.
Give every owner choice and control.Your own custom landing page that matches your life.Voting, notifications, community notes, a message board and listings. Your documents, rentals, service providers, appliances and home goods. Providers in network, with insurance registered and owner ratings, or out of network options, all at your fingertips.
Treat owners with respect.This Board represents you and puts your interests first, not a third party's.No performative, scripted meetings: real issues, real answers, your time respected. An owner has an interest in The Place, not a conflict. When an owner is the best option against outside alternatives, we hire them.

Before the December 7 election, we will share with you every candidate who has committed to this platform and to addressing your feedback. We will hold them accountable to address all of it in their first 100 days.

Vote on what you believe in

1. Your project financing options. Would you appreciate the chance to choose whether to pay in full or take the loan, once every scope of work is diagnosed and competitively bid, owners have voted on all non-maintenance improvements, and the community has well structured financing options based on real numbers?

Yes No

2. A revised, independent reserve study. Would you appreciate an independent review of the reserve study, so the deck and pool figures are assessed, not accepted as the Association supplied them? The deck rose 3.6 times over the 2023 study. The pool rose nearly 23 times.

Yes No

Appendix: the issues we hope to put behind us

#	What the Board did	What it violates
1	The issue The Board calls the work "the Improvements" and is collecting $5,200,000 with no owner vote. The non-maintenance items, counted together as one project, are far over $25,000. The maintenance and non-maintenance split promised August 25 was never produced.	The violation Declaration 10.4 Improvements over $25,000 in a calendar year need approval by a majority of the Voting Interests.
2	The issue Payment is due November 12. The owner vote on the landscape design is promised only afterward.	The violation §718.113(2)(a), Florida Statutes No material alteration to the common elements except as the Declaration provides.
3	The issue The $5,200,000 assessment and the loan option were adopted by Board vote alone.	The violation §718.112(2)(f)2.c.(I), Florida Statutes A special assessment or loan for reserve study items needs a majority vote of all owners.
4	The issue $3,740,000, 54% of the $6,988,919 project, has no competitive bid. No contract has been executed.	The violation §718.3026(1), Florida Statutes; Bylaws 4.2 Competitive bids for any contract above 5% of the annual budget. Contracts in writing.
5	The issue Owners must pay with no final diagnosis, no fixed price, and no escrow, true-up or interest terms.	The violation §718.111(1)(a) and (d), Florida Statutes Directors are fiduciaries and must act with the care of an ordinarily prudent person.
6	The issue The Board cites the reserve study as the reason. The study's $5,000,000 project and $1,250,000 pool figures were supplied by the Association (pages 50 and 56) and "not audited or independently verified" (page 33).	The violation §617.0830, Florida Statutes A director may not rely on a report when he or she knows facts that make reliance unwarranted.
7	The issue Of 50 project records requests from one owner, 12 were answered in full. The oldest has been open since September 7.	The violation Bylaws 9.1; §718.111(12)(c), Florida Statutes Official records within 5 working days (Bylaws); willful failure presumed after 10.
8	The issue A loan placement fee goes to the manager's affiliate. No disclosure or approval appears in the minutes before August.	The violation §468.4335, Florida Statutes The manager must disclose conflicts; a conflict is presumed without notice and Board approval.
9	The issue The Board's letter describes landscaping work that the special assessment notice does not list.	The violation §718.112(2)(c)3 and §718.116(10), Florida Statutes The assessment notice must state the cost and purposes; funds may be used only for those purposes.
