Dear Colleen, Donna, Amy, Pam, and Diane,

1. Thank you very much for the reminder.

2. I would like you to be aware that the Bylaws, Subsection 3.1.3 
Allocation of Assessment among Units (a)(i) reads:
"the respective amounts of any Annual Assessments or Special 
Assessments levied for an Assessment Year shall be computed 
in accordance with the respective percentage interest in the 
Common Expenses and Common Profits of the Units."

The equal amount of Special Assessment for each unit you suggest
is, therefore, not in compliance with the Bylaws.

3. Before I decide how to proceed I would need to know:

a. How much is "a sizable increase in the Association's insurance 
premium" mentioned in your email.

b. How much is the alternative you refer to, i.e. what is the size 
of the increases in condo fees, and for how many years they will 
last if the Special Assessment fails to pass.

We are talking about a substantial amount of funds, and it would 
irresponsible to vote for the Special Assessment without having 
sufficient information.

I am looking forward to your response that will help me to make
the right decision.

Thank you,

Jacob
