Voting FAQs
A 50-word candidate statement is hardly enough for owners to make an informed decision. Unfortunately, the current Board President, Scott Timmerman, believes that’s all the information you need. Instead of giving you the facts, he prefers to tell you who to vote for and hopes you won’t ask questions. Fortunately, you’ll find a special survey that digs deeper, asking about the issues that really matter: how decisions get made, how money gets spent, and how well residents stay informed. Your responses are completely anonymous, and we’ll match you with candidates who share your priorities. Because you deserve to vote with confidence.
This year’s election reflects unprecedented board turnover, with five current board members not seeking reelection. Of these five, several chose not to run again while others have moved out of the community. This high level of incumbent departure has created numerous open seats that need to be filled. The record number of non-incumbents is a clear sign that owners are not just talking about their concerns, they are motivated enough to step up and become candidates themselves to bring about meaningful improvements. Moving forward, be mindful of any candidate the current board president, Scott Timmerman, recommends. Do your own due diligence and if you can’t get satisfactory answers from any of those candidates to the issues that matter most, you may wish to consider other candidates.
While a direct Q&A session has been a popular request, the Board President, Scott Timmerman, has refused to participate in a Town Hall-style debate where owners could ask questions directly. To ensure every candidate has an equal opportunity to respond and your questions are heard, we recommend you write out your list of questions and deliver it to the office in person or via email. Please request that they send it to every candidate. Be sure to include a way for the candidates to send you their replies, such as an email address or phone number.
The Board President’s decision to not participate in a public Town Hall is a personal choice. Board members are not legally required to attend or host such events. However, a willingness to engage directly with homeowners is a key part of transparent governance. While some candidates may be uncomfortable with the format, a direct and open conversation is often the best way for owners to learn about a candidate’s readiness to serve the community. The refusal to participate in a public forum can be seen as an unwillingness to be held accountable to the community’s questions.
I have invited Mr. Timmerman to debate on several occasions. You can read more about that and the replies he offers owners in the following articles:
Here’s How You Can Make A Difference…
VOTE!
Right now, our board leadership is counting on us to stay disconnected while they make decisions that affect all of our lives without truly listening to what we need as a community. Every single vote carries weight because it’s how we create a neighborhood that reflects who we are and what matters to us.
When you show up and participate, you’re saying that you believe we deserve leadership that operates with honesty and accountability. Your voice matters, and the choice to engage is how we build the kind of community where everyone belongs.
Talk to your neighbors.
Encourage them to participate in the HOA election process.
By casting their votes, they have a direct say in the decision-making processes of our community and can hold the current leadership accountable. Kick off that conversation and send them a link to this site.
