Readers, articles are going to have to be quick, and short.  I've verified information about the April WPA board meeting by talking to a couple of the mere nine members who attended the meeting.  Today, we'll quickly deal with the water amenities report, as it relates to the canals, and dredging.

It was reported that a little over $126,000 has been collected to date.  The deadline for collection is May 1st., or the 15th, depending on what individuals heard, or read.  $126,000 at $4,000 per lot, would indicate that approximately 30 of the 79 lot owners have voluntarily committed financially to the dredging.  What is keeping lot owners from making a commitment?  No one has told us.  I wonder if the committee should consider holding a meeting for all members to attend, with the agenda item of discussion being "what are your concerns if you haven't contributed".  I'd be interested in hearing lot owners' reasons.  I'm sure everyone of the lot owners would like to see the canals dredged.  

I would like to see them dredged, and would pay whatever the price, as long as:

*The association assessed me.  They can lay the expense on me, under our current governing documents.

*There must be a plan for the future - not a last dredge as this short sighted committee has suggested.  We are one storm away from the benefit life of a dredge, being silted in and left standing with the conditions of today.  Have any of you bothered to ask the board what their intentions are regarding the canal reserve, after this dredging?  If they have an answer that is favorable ask them to put it in writing, and somewhere in policy

*I don't see how I can participate in the current dredge as the path to this point has been one illegal, twisted tale.  I'm a Wedgefield resident first, and a canal owner second, and I can't participate in something that harms my overallcommunity yesterday, today, and far into the future, because we are setting harmful, illegal precedent for the future governance of Wedgefield's governance.
