September 10, 2019 KFA update.
We begin this update with two recent home-owner comments: ★ Aug 11 Marilyn wrote: It is totally unfair that FOSA sets meetings when so many are away for the summer. Not everyone is in agreement with you!!! We want to keep FOS a residential park, NOT a resort community. Do you hear us? Quit going against our wishes. Start listening to the majority of residents. ★ Aug 9 Wayne and Arlene wrote: We moved to FOS because costs were within our budget. If newer homeowners want all these amenities we don't have, why did they choose our park? Move where they are available. ★ To see lots more FOS home-owner comments: ★ Tap this link ★ and this PLEASE email more of your messages directly to the FOSA board at these email addresses:

Only 20 people total showed up. Those in charge decided to recommend increasing the amount that had been previously budgeted of $120,000 and instead recommended spending $250,000 to remodel the FOS Admin building. How many of the 2,400+ Fountain of the Sun home-owners do you think would have VOTED in favor of increasing our assessments even more to pay for this huge increase? But only the FOSA board voted on spending. FOS home-owners were not allowed to VOTE on this! FOS home-owners are not allowed to VOTE on any motions presented at FOSA board meetings. The details pertaining to the FOSA board's "motions" and the agenda for these meetings are never presented to the community before they are sprung on the few residents who attend these meetings. Full transparency should require that full details of all such motions should be posted on the FOSA website at least two weeks before any FOSA board meeting so that home-owners have an opportunity to find out what the board is planning. ★ August 14, 2019 "Special" ★ Rushed ★ FOSA board meeting. Prior to this rushed meeting to pass a huge spending increase, the board had announced that no board meetings would be held in July and August while so many home-owners are gone for the summer and not available to attend. The FOSA board explained at this meeting why they were (probably) going to be continuing to impose the maximum 10% assessment increase allowed by the bylaws in order to fund increased reserves for further increased spending. The FOSA board also announced that they are planning to establish a new "charter approval" program to require home-owner groups within Fountain of the Sun to provide financial information and membership lists for all groups in Fountain of the Sun so the board can exercise control over whatever any groups want to do and to prevent any non-chartered groups from meeting in Fountain of the Sun meeting rooms.

NOTE: The FOSA board is still pushing ahead on plans to bulldoze both water retention basins on Pueblo and prepare the West water retention basin to replace the green grass with the following: This would radically change the living environment for the home-owners who live in the perimeter and near this park. This would be a drastic change in Fountain of the Sun.
