At the last pool meeting it was clearly stated that the homeowners would pay for the purchase of the lot, building of the facility, and the continued maintenance.

Yes, the residents will get to vote once all the $$$ info has been compiled. Personally, I will vote no to writing a special assessment check for a cool 1K+, plus ongoing costs.

Sorry neighbors, I'd rather put that kind of money into my own hot tub not another facility that I have to fight the kids to use. It's just another location for the HOA to over staff.
