The assessment passed, 41–35. What happens next?
The inspector's October 6, 2026 report states that 98 members were entitled to vote, quorum was achieved, 76 ballots were accepted, and the $1,999,999.60 special assessment was approved with 41 votes in favor and 35 opposed. One additional unsigned ballot return envelope was declared invalid. The inspector identifies herself as Lisa Schwartz.
Two numbers; one necessary reconciliation
| Figure | Basis/status |
|---|---|
| $1,999,999.60 approved assessment | Official inspector's report / ballot terms |
| About $1.6 million earlier roof quote | Board's September 2026 communications |
| About $1.4 million reported October 7 contract | Reported Board action; signed contract and minutes not yet verified here |
| About $600,000 difference | Arithmetic comparison of assessment to reported contract, before ancillary costs and financing |
The Board's ballot package disclosed that assessment proceeds not used for the roof project would be used to replenish reserves. That disclosure is relevant; so are the exact terms of the loan, contingencies, contractor change orders, and project management costs. The difference is a question requiring documentation, not proof of misuse.
What the community needs in writing
- Approved roofing contract and any amendments, alternatives or change-order provisions.
- Detailed project budget separating roof work, financing, contingency, professional fees, and reserve funding.
- Loan commitment, interest rate, term, draw mechanism, and actual repayment schedule.
- Accounting showing how fixed unit assessments interact with a variable invoice-backed line of credit.
- Approved October 7 minutes and financial resolutions, when available.
October 29 ADR
William Mills reports a confirmed October 29 mediation and intends to raise the assessment and funding questions. These issues have already been identified in the pending ADR dispute. Mediation is not a court decision, and a scheduled session does not suspend an approved assessment.
