Board of Directors' Meeting on Monday 17 Dec '07

There will be a meeting of the Board of Directors (BOD) to pass special assessments for several buildings (25, 26, 28, 29, 42, & 44) on Monday December 17th, 2007. The special assessment is to cover the cost of building refurbishment, as has been happening throughout the community. (Building 22 is also going to have a special assessment for past hurricane expenses).

Jim Miles (a General Contractor who has performed much of the refurbishment work in the community) will be on hand with a photo display of construction concerns and to answer questions.

As with any meeting of the BOD, any and all TAJ unit owners are allowed, by law, to attend [Florida Statute 718.111(2)(C)] . The law also states that unit owners have the right to participate at those meetings, but the BOD has the right to determine the manner of their participation. That means that the BOD can choose when and how long unit owners can speak during the meeting. The BOD has, in the past, used a system of allowing speakers 2-3 minutes each. That is a pretty common arrangement in this type of meeting, and is generally seen as fair because it gives everyone a chance to talk and limits any one person's ability to monopolize the time.
