__During and following the 2009 Dec 29 Town Hall Meeting, several of the members had an extensive discussion of the shortfall in the Replacement Fund / Restricted Assets accounts. This was covered in my 2009 Oct 13 letter to the Board re Preservation (Replacement) Fund & Restricted Assets. No action was taken by the Board concerning the 2009 Oct 13 letter.

__The continuation of this post is my 2009 Dec 30 email to the Board re the subject title of this post.

Click on History for changes and updates.

__The results of the voting at the 2009 Dec 19 Special Members' Meeting on the Board's Proposal for a $100 increase in the Dues Cap plus COLA are the following as reported by the elections committee:
• Eligible Voters = 1,743
• Quorum = 175
• Ballots Cast = 1,292
• Valid Ballots = 1,245
• Invalid Ballots = 47
• "Yes" Votes = 431
• "No" Votes = 814
This represents a 35% to 65% defeat of the Board's proposal. These numbers are slightly different from those announced at the Special Members' Meeting, and are the corrected numbers published in an email from MOA.

__When time permits, I may add some of the members' comments in the continuation of this post.
