BreakingAway, based on past TUG discussions the Monarch four-year SA is in its third year; you still have one more to go. (See this thread,
Monarch ... 2016-2019 4-year SA ...) The Marriott Weeks MF's invoices being issued now are for the 2018 Operating Budgets, not 2019.
Also on that page just under the picture on the right click on "View eBilling Invoices & Inserts" and then navigate through each of the links there to access your ownership's itemized invoices/statements and Operating Budget packages.
Thank you for reminding me to look for the invoice and inserts. There was a detail explanation on why the 200 increase.
Also included was "Notwithstanding any additional natural disasters, your Board expects and plans to have maintenance fee reductions in both FY 2019, and FY 2020, with the elimination of the disaster recovery fee in FY 2019, and a further drop in the previously imposed four-year increase of the reserve fee in FY 2020".
As far as the teleconference for owners meeting, there are plenty of free services with up to 1000 lines. The feedback from the newly elected president was he liked the idea but the caveat was " need to explore if any of the other resorts are doing it or have done it, what any legal ramifications might be, associated costs, etc., etc.". I am not holding my breathe.
This Marriott Group on Tug is the perfect place to start a groundswell to accomplish teleconferencing. I belong to a Monarch FB group and I am trying it there. So far results are 27 to 1 for it in just 16 hours.
