Communications Director Homeowner Notice: Tuesday, February 16, 2010 Dear Neighbors, These difficult economic times continue to affect many of us and Hampton Park is not immune to this impact on homeowner financial conditions. During 2009, we saw a significant increase in past due assessments and it continues through the first quarter of 2010. As of January 31, 2010, the past due assessments for our community were $60,162.00, which is the highest level of past due amounts our Association has ever had. This increase in past due accounts could seriously affect our ability to meet the neighborhood's commitments and provide homeowner services for which these dues are intended such as maintenance repairs, lighting, landscaping, staffing, and general upkeep of common areas such as our parks and community pools. Unfortunately, the lack of payment or an approved repayment plan will impact a homeowner's use of the community's amenities such as Celebration and Festival pools, and a $25 late fee will be assessed for each unpaid month. If delinquent for two quarters, the governing documents allow the Association to turn account balances over to a collection attorney (additional collection fees will apply) and place liens on property. The privilege of paying on a quarterly basis can also be forfeited and the entire year's assessment called due. The Board of Directors would prefer not to take the steps listed above and would rather work with individual homeowners to resolve any outstanding balances. Please make every effort to bring your account current before March 31, 2010 by contacting Carolyn Grimes, Community Manager at Community Group, 270-1800 ext 165 or email cgrimes@communitygroup.com to make alternate arrangements. The Board of Directors will work with any homeowner who is having financial difficulty, but a workable payment plan must be submitted by the homeowner for consideration. As always, this information will be held in the strictest of confidence. Thank you for your cooperation. Hampton Park HOA Board of Directors Rob Campbell, President
Shelly Schuetz, Vice President
Dan Feldman, Treasurer
Tom Davies, Secretary
Ed Dawson, Director |
