<div>Over the last 3 years, this HOA Board has twice modified the Bi-Party agreement between the Eastpointe HOA (property Owners) and the Eastpointe Country Club (ECC), significantly increasing annual fees on Resident Social Members (RSM), raising initiation fees on new property buyers, reducing benefits, and increasing user fees for golf and fitness center classes, <strong><em>without allowing the property owners to vote on and approve the proposed agreement as required by Fl Statute and our Governing Documents</em></strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This was all done in violation of Fl Statutes and our governing documents, mostly by the same few HOA Board members who are avid Golf members and have put the interest of the ECC before the interest of the property owners. And they can do it again! In fact, the ECC General manager, at a coffee with the GM meeting, stated that he believed “the club needed higher RSM annual fees and RSM Initiation fees, closer to what Golfers pay, to be more in line with the surrounding clubs”.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For several months, we residents have engaged legal counsel to understand what Florida Statutes, and our governing documents, require for the HOA Board to approve a Bi-Party agreement and what the property owner’s rights are within our community. Our lawyers have stated that the Bi-Party agreements approved in Nov 2021, and recently in Mar 2024, were illegally approved and any fees collected above the amount of the original Tri-party agreement, should be returned to the residents.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the 200+ Eastpointe Property owners (approximately 25% of the community) legally petitioned the HOA Board to modify our Governing Documents to prevent these abuses from happening again. The HOA Board refused to act on our Petition as required by Fl Statute and our governing Documents.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The only way to prevent further abuses by the HOA Board, to prevent further increases in fees, is for the residents band together and take legal action to force the HOA Board to follow the law and our Governing Documents. 
</div>
