TSHOA Fines Policy – We’d Like to Hear from you!

Tonkawa Springs Neighbors,

It was great to see everyone at the annual meeting last week. As mentioned, the Board will be finalizing and voting (per TSHOA Bylaws, Section 21. Powers (f) Adopt, establish and enforce a fine schedule for infractions of the Association’s Dedicatory Instruments. (since 2013)) on a Fine Policy in the December 2022 Board meeting. Per our 2022 Community survey, the majority of individuals that responded AGREE or STRONGLY AGREE in favor of the adoption of a fine policy. The Board is interested in feedback from the Community on the DRAFT Fine Policy. Please see attached. Please note this Fine Policy does not replace our current ACC process for investigating complaints. We will continue to act as neighbors reaching out to understand mitigating circumstances and respect for one another.

You may submit your comments electronically at https://forms.gle/sRdYk42Hh92XQyZS8 before Friday, November 18. Board members will read all comments from the Community prior to finalizing the policy and placing their vote. A final policy will be available with the December meeting agenda.
