Maybe we need a new board
I mean, really, don't you think the second vote was handled poorly? Who's giving the board advice, anyway. The proxies were confusing, and different the second time from the first. I know this because I own a week 17 , unit 4210 which was subject to the assessment, and a week 18, 4310 which was not. The first set of proxies gave us an option to vote for a wall to be built in between the two upstairs bedrooms; the second did not. Furthermore, from the way the proxies were worded, I'm sure owners who were not subject to the assessment felt that their votes weren't needed since they weren't subject to the proxy.
The board should run the next proxy by a set of owners and see if it's as clear to the owners as they (the board) think it is.
If the board doesn't want to consider a new vote, or adequately explain why we can't have a new vote, maybe we need a new board.
