Using informal "Community Meetings" where residents come together to propose ideas, discuss them and plan in order to find solutions may be the best format. The Board should know that there is already a structure in place for informal community meetings where residents have come to together to propose ideas, discuss them and find solutions for pressing issues. The format does not follow ridged rules. Progress that is made in these sessions can be acted upon, or where appropriate could be brought to a Board meeting.

We encourage the current HOA Board and future Boards to not only accept these member efforts but encourage community participation in work sessions and board meetings. Ideas should be exchanged, considered and surveys can be done on how best to administer and plan for the future. These meetings should produce long term benefits to everyone in the community as we have a respectful dialog to work through issues which impact us all. 

There is a rift developing among the property owners of Tolomato and the governing HOA board and newly appointed ARB. Rather than focusing on how Tolomato arrived at this unfortunate juncture, concerned Tolomato owners have organized an effort to genuinely provide reasonable and productive suggestions that can ultimately harmonize the Tolomato community for the common good and restore a bright future of our beautiful community.

This genuine effort should focus on open communications. Sometimes open communications opens vulnerability and work on all sides will be required in order to come together for the common good of the Tolomato community. Below are suggested topics and action items for which we believe need solutions. 

Committees need the ability to self-establish operational protocols and procedures for their respective committee. Existing charters for each committee should be reviewed and revised as necessary. All charters and operational methods and procedures should be published.
