RCI Suspended Eagle Village Tamiment

We have to close. There is no choice. Not enough members to carry the cost of renovations or even running the property, back taxes and future taxes. The longer it sits, the worse it gets. Only saving grace is we won't have to pay anymore. This company will manage the resale/repurpose and make enough money ro cover the taxes and outstanding bills. We should not be responsible fir anything.
 
I think that is a resale company …I googled them so we should all be aware
I was weary and uncertain when I first listened to the Zoom meeting last month. However after careful reflection and consideration I now realize that unfortunately the only option is to close. ( Special assessments are out of the question since the costs for the remaining time share owners would be unreasonable and uncollectible.)According to recent reports there is no funds available for daily operations,employee salaries and the needed financial resources to pay for overdue taxes,electric,etc.(Not to mention the desperate maintenance repairs and upkeep required.)It is very unfortunate that it has come to this but when many owners (understandably)have stopped paying annual fees and the past incompetence and neglect of management and Board of Directors this is what has occurred.

What are they going to tell us tomorrow night. I think the company organizing the webinar is a timeshare resale company but there is nothing the owners have to offer / sell so not sure what they will be proposing to us.
 
They need us to vote to amend the timeshare covenent to include a clause that will allow the owners to vote to close. Most covenents have a termination clause. Ours does not. We have to first vote to include that clause, and then bite to close.

So a timeshare resale management company has the power to do something with our votes?

No, the company is going to present this option. We vote yes or no. At this point, seeing as the board doesn't really exist, we are between a rock and a hard place. The property is no longer. I dont want it anymore. I will vote to amend for a termination clause and then vote to close.

Towb is more than what you think it is (i previously posted these links- i dont own here, just interested because the closure of the resort i own at has been undertaken and i am watching to see how this goes):



 
The same information was provided as the first meeting. The logic and finances on why the resort got so bad. Talked about cost to owners to revitalize....10,000 assessment per owner, etc. Talked about how it is our choice, but selling the resort would be in our best interest. Less than 400 owners. The owners on record in good standing could possibly get a return, as has happened at other legacy resorts. Return of this year's fees to owners who couldn't use is not a guarantee. All units sent to the Oakes group are still in the Association. Dont recall if there was an answer as to whether they get to vote on ending seeing as these units are technically association owned, if true. Today there was something about the past taxes that he had to address but wasn't sure how it would go. Said he has only been involved for the past few months even though they have known about the situation at EV. Praised the Goochers and Oaks for trying to fix the resort. Soneone asked about Bluwater, the company that owns the land around EV. Didn't seem to know much, but his daughter said they are in contact. Vote will be out in about 45 days. Seemed very concerned to reach everyone. Took a vote to see right then and there if owners would sell. Most did. I couldn't vote for some reason, couldnt access the button. So some others might have had that problem too. There were a few who said they weren't sure??? All in all, the bottom line is no more fees for current owners, those who are in arrears will probably not see any financial cost, but no gain either. I think he said owners will split 50% of the final profits if there are any. That means Towb makes 50%. That's fine with me. They are bringing in another company, Lemonjuice, to help with the financing. They will be turning the utilities back on for the winter. They will retire 2 employees and pay them their back pay. Got the impression things are a little different than he thought when his company first signed on.
 
Will Oakes and the Goocher's get to vote? If so, and the property is sold and there is any reimbursement, will they also get some of the money?
For any units that they actually own, rather than the HOA owning them, one would think that legally the answer to both questions has to be yes.

Good question.
It would be a mistake I believe for that to happen.
 
The owners at the Silver Beach Club in Daytona FL have voted to close/sell. TOWB reported that today. The TS will operate through the rest of the year as they place the property up for sale and take bids until a contract is accepted. Owners should eventually receive a share of the proceeds.
 
I just heard that there was a burglery at Eagle village in August!!???

Where is this jon guy and where are these gooch people? My friends said it’s totally abandoned now. Are we just screwed!!????!
 
Well, when you get the ballot in the mail for the vote to close, vote yes. Perhaps we will get some of the proceeds ...if we are lucky.
 
We have been locked out of this group! We did not receive ANYTHING regarding this meeting!!!! I am reading and catching up on everything and will update you with what we have after: trying to catch up since we have been locked out. I’m thinking we all need to get each others information to discuss privately if possible? We missed the meeting and found out just today!

I am confused we were told today they sold and knocking all down and building a development?
 
Only way out is to sell. He showed the figures. At least 10,000 per week in assessment for the remaining 500 owners to generate 5,000,000 which seems to be the target needed to do renovations. EV has a >$500,000 tax bill that is about to be auctioned off in September unless they can stop it. He talked about the insides needing updating, Wish I could have attended. I would have asked about the roofs. I got the impression he is sees a complete sale of the property as is. If anyone asked what happened to the money from all the deed backs, he didn't answer. He seemed to think John and Melanie were good guys and the board members were one of us. I would have asked whether he realized the board members were only members from the last 6 months. He kept referring to them as if they were one of us. They live in California. Doubt they ever have been to EV.
I feel the only way out is to vote to sell and be done with this circus. The question about the lake was a good one. It is owned by the The Bluwater Foundation. Bet that is who it will be sold to. Towb is just going to de-timeshare the property - bring the parcel of land back to one parcel ownership. He said it would take about 18 months. Looking forward to the next meeting.
They are not allowed to do this and they are getting away with it by everyone believing that the only option is to sell. That’s wrong. Everyone needs to stay together they can not do this if everyone stands there ground. I can’t believe we missed the meeting and have been locked out. Our lawyer is working on this right now- because we were never notified which is illegal. They are doing this to a lot of elderly owners who do not know what’s going on and getting away with it. I bet more then half of these owners have not a CLUE about any of this.

I'm not sure what other option besides selling you think there is. It is a crying shame what mismanagement of the property has done to a place important to so many, in terms of past memories and future vacation plans. But if you're hoping Eagle Village will stay open as the same old timeshare it has been, it would appear you are badly unaware of the state the resort it in, both physically and financially. Apparently a lot of money is owed for both taxes and utilities. And that's before you get to the money needed to fix up the property to bring the resort back up to decent standards for habitation, much less a nice place to vacation. The only place for that money to come from is the owners, and from discussions here it seems that would at the very least be several thousand per owner, on top of the Maintenance Fees that have normally been charged to keep things running for day to day operations. And apparently those fees were too low to keep things going the way they should have. Already many owners have stopped paying Maintenance Fees, so it would be very hard to get them to pay up the additional expenses needed beyond that to get the property up to snuff and then maintain the resort at the necessary level. So then that would multiply even further the amount that would need to be paid by any owners still interested in sticking around, likely in the tens of thousands or more per week owned. Maybe you can afford it and would be willing to spend that, but I highly doubt enough others would be willing or able to, in numbers sufficient to make that a viable path.
