Dear JL POA Owners,
At the time of the preparation and passage of the 2021 Operating budget, a Task Force of Owners was working on a proposal to outsource our in-house security operations. The Task Force and the Board believe that hiring Cambridge Security can raise our ability to provide consistency to our security operation.
An option presented to the Task Force was the addition of a Paramedic program for the JL Community. This officer can serve as both a patrol officer and when needed, can provide paramedic responsibilities such as IV insertion or lifesaving heart and breathing measures. With a great deal of discussion on this option, it was felt the focus should be on the special assessment and defer the paramedic program to the following budget year. The paramedic would serve on all 3 shifts giving us 24/7 with this new add on staff.
A group of owners approached the Board to reconsider opening the 2021 budget to include the paramedic program this year. The Board went back to the Task Force to seek a questionnaire of the owners to determine if this was something owners were in support of. The poll was completed last week. From the survey, the 71% of the respondents voted to agree to open the 2021 operating budget and add the increase of $30 per quarter for the remainder of 2021.
This then is to inform you that the JL POA Board will convene a discussion of the operating budget at their regular meeting on February 19, 2021 and at that time propose the additional fee to be added on quarterly assessment for 2021. If passed, this increase will begin in the April payment through the remainder of the year.
The meeting will be presented in a zoom format and will be owners to all owners to attend.
Sincerely,
JL POA Board of Directors
