Thank you for your well thought out questions and your interest.
1) Was this inheritance rule always in place or did something change?
The first written reference to this inheritance rule was in the 2016/2017 Dock Policy. It’s said it was a past practice and I believe several people have already transferred docks to their children. It’s extremely difficult to get info from the Board on this subject.
2) If something changed, who changed it and when?
It’s difficult to determine the first instance of this practice as the Board doesn’t answer written requests for information or verbal questions in meetings.
3) Do any of the board members have docks? If so, how many?
About 11 of 14 Board members have docks.
4) How many people on the waitlist and what is the current wait time for a dock?
About 130 pay $100 to be on the waitlist. Average turnover is one dock a year. (More info on my last post.)
5) Do they limit or block access to any other common property? If so, what?
Nothing else is blocked from members. The Board is discussing blocking renters from using the common property beach on weekends though.
6) Was there any member input for any of this? A vote taken?
Many members are angry at this policy and have voiced their opinions. When asked if the community can vote, the Board states they have been elected to make these decisions for the community.
