New Year's President's Letter

1/3/2021

0 Comments

 
Happy New Year to all in VI:
 
I hope that everyone was still able to safely enjoy the holidays and spend time with your close family members despite having to modify some of our traditions and plans due to the pandemic.  Even the traditional lighting of the seawall luminaries on Christmas Eve was impacted this year, not by COVID but by a storm, but we were able to pivot.  New Year’s Eve provided us with great weather and the opportunity to “light up” VI.
 
The 2021 VIHA budget was prepared in October, approved by the Board in November and dues notices were mailed to property owners in mid-December.  I would like to thank the over 100 property owners who have already sent in their payment and, if you have not yet done so, we would appreciate your payment by January 15.  The annual dues for 2021 increased from $150.00 to $180.00 due to the following:
  • Increases in utilities and document storage charges;
  • A 20% increase in liability insurance premiums; and,
  • Fees paid to Quality Property Management for assistance with Deed Restriction enforcement, which had previously been funded from reserves, are now included as an annual operating expense.
The VIHA Annual Meeting and elections for the VIHA Officers & Board Members for 2021 will be held “virtually” on January 21, at 7:00 pm, the meeting link will be provided on, or about, January 18.  We plan to have a limited discussion of the 2021 VIHA budget, consistent with our prior practice, within the virtual format.  Any VIHA member can request information on the budget and uses of dues by contacting me or Mark Brenman, the VIHA Treasurer, with your questions.
 
Finally, you will receive information via first class mail the week of January 4 regarding the “revitalization” of the Deed Restrictions that occurred in 2019/2020 and further developments.  Once this information is delivered to the property owners, we will schedule additional meetings/Zoom calls to review an additional step in the revitalization process required by the Florida Department of Environmental Opportunity.
 
Have a great New Year, stay safe and hope to see you out and about in VI.
 
Rich Scanlon
VIHA President
