AGENDA

This Special Meeting will be limited to a discussion and vote on only the following motion:

“Gowdy Shores Homeowners will pay a special assessment for damage caused by the August 27 storm. (The amount will be determined by October 5th and shared at the Special Members Meeting.) The special assessment is payable by Tuesday, November 5. Any late payments will incur an additional $50 fee.”

LIMITED DISCUSSION

This is a Special Members Meeting to discuss damage and repair costs to GSHA common areas caused by the storm on August 27, 2024. No other topics may be introduced at this meeting.

NEED FOR THE MEETING

The storm on August 27 was devastating. The GSHA board extends our heartfelt sympathy and concern for those who have suffered losses. It is the board’s responsibility to restore the roads and common areas to a safe and fully useable condition. Our GSHA 2024 Budget did not anticipate devastation on this scale. Therefore, the GSHA board calls this Special Meeting to establish a Special  Assessment to fund this project.

The board is studying the amount of the Special Assessment. We are determining the work to be done and are collecting bids. We want the fee members pay to match the actual cost of the event. We do not want to under or over charge you.  Current high priority work is being paid for with our reserves.  The Special Assessment will pay for more required work and restore the reserve. It is important that all members participate in this community decision. We respectfully request you invest a bit of time to help the Gowdy Shores community put this unhappy event behind us.
