I am looking for advice or samples of ballots from other HOAs. There is a debate on the board as to what the ballot should include for approving the annual budget. We are getting ready to send the ballots out and a letter is accompanying the ballots with a brief explanation, along with a copy of the current budget and YTD expenses and the proposed 2018 budget. The secretary drafted the ballots ( the separate document) and did not include any information related to the total of the budget being voted on or the annual dues resulting from that budget amount.
Some of us believe the $$ should be stated directly on the budget ballot with the Yes No check boxes. That will ensure that anyone who reads the ballots and does not have the accompanying documents will know what was being voted on rather than an ambiguous statement.
The draft ballot states: Approval of the 2018 Budget. Check one selection. If more than one selection is checked the ballot will be null and void.
Yes No
This tells me nothing!
Some of us think it should include facts. Like, Proposed 2018 Budget- $15,120. Annual 2018 Dues - $210 ($15,120 divided by 72 billable lots).
Yes No
Need some feedback please!!!!
