LTCV/City in the Hills HOA

It has been brought to the attention of management and your Board of Directors that there is a letter circulating throughout the community. Management and your Board would like to take this opportunity to clarify what appears to a misconception. Lordon Management works at the direction of your Board of Directors. Our purpose is to enforce the C.C. & R.'s and the rules and regulations that were put in place by developer and the previous Board of Directors. Lordon Management had no role in adopting these rules. Our primary purpose is only to enforce. We work solely at the discretion of the Board. Lordon's job is not one that is performed without the Board of Director's prior consent. We do not arbitrarily fine homeowners. Lordon Management is only the vehicle which the fine letter is delivered. You are fined by the HOA/Association.

With that said, there are procedures to follow in order to make rule changes. If you as a homeowner feel that one or more of the rules are unfair, you need to submit either in writing or in person at a monthly meeting your request for the proposed change to the Board or Management. You do need a petition or a majority to ask for change. The Board will then take it under advisement. If your duly elected Board feels the rule should be changed, the change would then be adopted subject to membership and civil code dispute procedures.

In the case of change to the C.C. & R.'s the Association would need to seek legal counsel to make sure these changes could be made. In some instances even the lenders would need to give approval. A ballot would then be drafted by the Attorney and distributed to each homeowner in the community. A super majority of the homeowners and the developer would be needed before the change could be adopted and recorded.

Every homeowner has a voice in the community. Asking for change does not have to be in the form of a petition or adversarial . If you have an idea, present it to Management or the Board. We want your involvement. This is a brand new community and there will be a period of adjustment and many changes.

We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you at the monthly meetings.

Regards,

Catherine Gross-Weiss

Homeowners

Are you having problems with the HOA rules and regulations? It has come to the attention of several of your neighbors that most of us would like to change some of the rules and regulations governing our neighborhood.

What we propose is a democratic vote on all existing and future rules and regulations. In this way, we can insure that we all enjoy our neighborhood while keeping it clean, but still being allowed to live our lives without feeling pressured or getting fined by Lordon Management for a violation of a rule we had no say in.

If you are a new homeowner, just moving in, please review your CC&R's and the homeowner rules carefully, as many of the rules and regulations may shock you, and you will get fined or called to "hearing" for violating a rule you find unconstitutional.

We would like to hold a homeowners meeting without Lordon Management involvement, so that we can discuss without pressure the desire to live in a democratic society where all laws are governed but also voted on by the people as is our right.

The best way to get Lordon Managements attention will be with a petition signed by us, the homeowners. We will meet for a meeting in front of the D.R. Horton model homes on September 24th at 7:00pm at which the petition will be present. Please note that in order to have the rules put to the vote we will need a majority of homeowner signatures, so you will need to sign the petition in order to assure our vote. If we do not receive such, no vote will be put through and the home owners will continue paying fines for everyday practices.
