1. The Time Share Owners will not be paying the Capital Initiation Fee (CIF).

Why? The POA Board has chosen a method that makes it unfeasible to collect any meaningful CIF money from the Time Share Owners.

Does their action pass the smell test?

2. The Time Share Owners will be casting their votes in the coming CIF election.

3. All of the Time Share Owners will be voting YES in the CIF election.

4. The POA Board needs as many yes votes as possible, as the Big Canoe elections are normally very close.

5. The Time Share Owners may provide the POA Board with the votes they need to win the CIF election.

6. If the POA Board had wanted to, they could have chosen a CIF funding method whereby everyone would pay their fair share, including the Time Share Owners.

7. The POA Board could have chosen the monthly assessment fee (increase) method to fund the Capital Reserve Fund (CRF) so that everyone pays.

8. The developer has always been against monthly assessment fee increases.

9. Therefore, the POA Board didn’t choose the $40.00 monthly assessment fee increase for funding the CRF.

10. Now, do you understand why the Time Share Owners won’t be paying the Capital Initiation Fee?

11. Everyone should pay their fair share of the CIF; the Time Share owners should not pay zero (or even next to nothing).

12.  Vote NO in the CIF election, and tell the POA Board to increase the monthly assessment fee so that everyone pays their fair share. It’s only fair.
