Sharing this information with other parties may reduce or eliminate that privilege. RE: WESTWOOD VILLAGE Dear "Group,'' As agreed, I attended the meeting of the Association to discuss concerns with the new governing Documents on October 26, 2006. Ron and Gail Brand were also in attendance. After significant debate, a vote was held in which only six members of the Association voted to support the original 1 /47~I' split for special assessments. The vote taken did not follow customary procedure but rather was aimed at producing consensus for language that would be included i.r, the ne«~ governing documents for the formula used to determine a unit owner's share of any special assessment that might be levied. As before; the meeting minutes are less than accurate. For the record, 1 presented compelling eve ence t at a ormu a ase upon t e a ove grade square footage of each unit would produce the best formula as it would be easy to calculate and easy to apply. Moreover, it would be fair. No mention of my presentation or the resulting discussion between myself and various association members-which encompassed over three-fourths the time of the meeting-is made in the minutes. Pursuant to my conversation with Maureen Dalnes on last Thursday, I called Michael Klemm. I was unable to speak to Mr. Klemm directly; so I left a message informing him that the proposed language v<~as flawed and unacceptable. I also noted that the Board, in its haste to act without consulting any of the opposing counsel invo ve ,was situp y as Ong or a fight.
