To the Elys --
Are you proposing this just because "it's the rule" and you believe therefore it must be followed?
Are you upset because there's no unified Leisure World Budget?
Well, legally, there isn't any Leisure World at all, anymore, so that may be one reason there's no such budget.
Or are you upset because not every member received a budget that covers the entire community?

How many people in United want to read Third's budget? Have you taken a survey? Is it more than six?
And vice versa?
And how many people want to read Mutual 50's Budget? Do you know more than 2 people in Mutual 50 who want to read the budgets for United and Third?

How much do you think the residents should spend to print and mail every budget to every member, for the benefit of 15 who want to have a paper copy of each one? Those budgets will be posted on the web site, and any person who wants to see them can do so. If they want to print them out they can do so.

Are you upset because they are accessible on the web site and not by mail to every member?
The Village already has legal and legislative opinion that they are in compliance with the Davis Sterling act by posting notices on the internet and at clubhouses, broadcasting them on Channel 6, etc., because the cost of printing and mailing to 12,000 households is too great. Perhaps we should have all the budgets read aloud on Channel 6. That'd draw a large audience....

I would think you'd be in favor of a move that minimizes cost, not a move that adds cost.
