We’re All In This Together

         The following is a public statement released byh the MOSP HOA Board of Directors in 2013.  The sentiments also apply today.

          Most of us were happy to accept the services of five of our neighbors when they volunteered their time and efforts to conduct the day-to-day business of our Home Owners Association. The Board now in place has worked in an open manner to resolve any problems and to maintain communications with the membership through open meetings, the publication of this newsletter and the sponsoring of an Internet blog. 

            The Board of Directors is not the Association.  We are … all of us.  The Association’s central documents are the By Laws and Declaration that protect our property values while ensuring the community remains a pleasant and safe place to live.  When it has become necessary to enforce the rules, the Board hasn’t shirked from its duty to protect the well being of the members. They’ve done this by enforcing the Declaration, the document we all agreed to when we purchased our homes.  If the Board neglected their obligation in that regard they could face legal action by everyone who elected them to enforce the rules. 

            It’s never a pleasant task to tell a homeowner he or she has violated the Declaration. The Board and supporting committees follow set procedures to try to resolve the problems in the most neighborly and non-confrontational way possible. This is after all a neighborhood and that implies respect and mutual obligation to each other.  When we work together we can form ties that will make the Meadows of St. Patrick a more enjoyable place to live.
