LAKE TANSI: A Message from the Chairman

September 24, 2009

Anonymous The Crossville Chronicle Thu Sep 24, 2009, 03:33 PM CDT

In 2008, about this time, we asked our membership for a dues increase. This time last year everyone was concerned with where our country was going. The national elections were coming and a new President would be elected. It was a time of total uncertainty for all of us. So our request was denied.

Many things have happened this year. Banks folded, markets plummeted and jobs were lost. Most of us are trying to recover. So why are we, your POA, asking again for your support? Because we need it!!

Our obligation to you, our members, is to provide the same quality in our amenities you have become accustomed to since moving to Lake Tansi. We are not in the position to automatically increase your dues. We are governed by our Covenants and By-laws. In the recent “Candidates Night” meeting, I felt everyone thought most of the NO votes cast against last years dues increase came from outside the Tansi/Crossville area. That was not true. Most of the NO votes were from the 385__ zip code which is in our own back yard.

At this time, we are faced with a BIG unknown, the “Water Harvesting” put upon us by the City of Crossville. Plus the many other things which will be discussed in the “MAINTAIN or REPLACE” article in this month’s Smoke Signal.

Our board does not want to raise fees or cut back on our obligations to our amenities and you, our membership. We have four qualified people running for the POA Board this year. Many of you have already voted and we ask each of you who have not yet responded to do so soon. Your ballots for this dues request will be arriving soon. We ask each of you to reach the positive decision to say yes in providing us the funds to keep Tansi beautiful!

Sincerely,

Jim Hellem, Chairman
