It’s unfortunate that ABC is so out-of-date that an overall resort
update is required. This is a topic for another post.
Also not good to forecast a
nightmare
as the project
commences…
As for the assessment:
Today’s owners do not care what was done 15 years ago. This
is 2018 and the Board should implement a method of payment
that is fair to all owners. Members are savvy enough to be able
to budget for the unit reburb and pay prior to their unit
reno.
Since you are unable to provide a schedule of unit renovation, I am
guessing units to be chosen for Phase 1 have a ‘priority’ status; Owner(s)
who may be a member of the Board, have a high percentage of ownership or
are involved and very vocal at ABC … that status and inclusion in Phase 1 equates
to the obligation of paying the full assessment amount for having their unit(s)
updated first (36 months of a refreshed unit while the rest of the unit owners wait
an additional 12 – 24 more months for the same upgrade).
Bottom line – it’s in the best interest of the owners to pay as-we-go to be sure our
assessment is utilized to renovate our individual unit(s) and not exhausted in early
Phase refurbs.
I had the same issue a year ago in transferring a couple of units and
paying the $35 admin fee and chose to pay via check – mailing to
ABC.
In communication from the ABC office, I was told that online payment
‘WAS SECURE’ and that I would be assessed an additional $5 per unit
for payment via check.
Please advise how $35 per unit transfer equates to administrative costs.
Transfer process should be fairly straight-forward –
… guest form received, administrative office transfer form info to registration,
confirmation of guest on-file … what else does it take to transfer a unit from
owner to guest???

Please advise the following:
I’ve read the post below. Was this fee voted and approved by the BOD?
Were owners notified of the fee and if so when and by what method?
I have the same couple spending two weeks in my units (different units each week) –
is the fee $35 (submitting name change and contact info on one form for both units).
I will scan and e-mail the form and will not include credit card info on the form. Is there a US mailing
address to send a check.
Could the fee be added to the annual maintenance fee bill (due annually each October).
My renters are looking to receive a confirmation and I would like to provide it to them in a
timely manner.
Thank you for answering your assistance.
