Do Not Give The Sheffield Towne Board Your Proxy Vote!


VOTE NO !!!!!


Giving a proxy vote to the Sheffield Towne board of directors in a homeowners association (HOA) should raise concerns for several reasons.


A proxy vote is a powerful tool in the context of an HOA, as it allows a member to delegate their voting right to another person, which will significantly impact the decision-making process within the association. Here are some reasons why a homeowner might reconsider giving their proxy vote directly to the board of directors:


1. **Concentration of Power**:
    Giving proxy votes to the board of directors will lead to a concentration of power within a small group of individuals. This will reduce the diversity of opinions and perspectives considered in decision-making processes, potentially leading to decisions that may not reflect the wider interests of all homeowners.

2. **Potential for Conflict of Interest**:
   Board members may have their own interests that could conflict with the best interests of the community as a whole. If board members hold a significant number of proxy votes, they might be tempted to use these votes to influence decisions in their favor, rather than in the best interest of all homeowners.

3. **Reduced Accountability**:
   When board members hold a significant number of proxy votes, it will reduce their accountability to the homeowners. Since they have enough votes to influence outcomes, they might feel less compelled to justify their decisions or to engage in discussions with homeowners about their concerns and suggestions.

Do Not forget the 6 million Dollar Nightmare we all payed for, but only one third or less got the benifit. We promised all our would get the same upgades, But we dit NOT!

4. **Lack of Representation**:
   Every homeowner has unique concerns, priorities, and perspectives. By delegating their vote to the board, homeowners may lose the opportunity to directly influence decisions that affect their property and community life. This will lead to decisions that do not adequately represent the diverse views and needs of the community.

5. **Encourages Passivity
   **:
   Relying on the board to vote on behalf of homeowners will discourage active participation and engagement within the community. It's important for the health of the HOA that all members feel encouraged to participate in discussions, attend meetings, and vote on issues directly, rather than delegating this responsibility.

To mitigate these concerns, homeowners who cannot attend meetings in person could consider giving their proxy to a trusted fellow homeowner who shares similar views and interests, rather than directly to a board member. This approach will help maintain a balance of power, ensure a diversity of opinions are considered in decision-making, and encourage active participation and engagement within the community.

Sheffield Towne is a community of 592 town homes situated on forty-four acres of professionally landscaped common areas located in the northwest portion of Schaumburg. The development was built by Levitt & Sons between 1970 and 1975. The clubhouse was the original sales office and the model homes were located on Cheltenham Court. This web site is for the people of Sheffield Towne, to express opinion about our Community and our Association.

Which Law Governs My Association? Most homeowners associations are governed by either the Illinois Condominium Property Act or the Illinois Common Interest Community Association Act. Which law applies to your community depends on whether the homeowners association is a condominium association. 

 

In a condominium, each member owns his or her own private residence – called a “unit” – in one or more buildings containing other units. Each member also co-owns the parts of the development that are not units – called “common elements” – together with the association’s other members. Condominium associations charge a monthly fee – called “assessments” -- that covers the cost of maintaining and operating the common elements. 

 

Usually, but not always, the word “Condominium” will appear in the name of a condominium association, and the association’s key legal document will be called a “Declaration of Condominium”. All Illinois condominiums are subject to the Illinois Condominium Property Act

 

If your homeowners association is not a condominium, it is a non-condominium common interest community association. In a non-condo common interest community association, each member owns his or her own land and the private residence built on that land. 

 

Members living within a defined area or community pay annual or monthly fees or assessments for maintenance of shared community facilities, and must also comply with architectural and other restrictions spelled out in a document typically called a “Declaration of Covenants”. If a non-condo common interest community association includes at least 11 private residences and annually collects more than $100,000 from its members, it is subject to the Illinois Common Interest Community Association Act

 

If you are a member of a non-condominium common interest community association that is too small to be subject to the Illinois Common Interest Community Association Act, the Illinois General Not-forProfit Corporation Act will apply if your association has been incorporated.  

 

It’s no surprise, therefore, that more and more homeowner associations are implementing technology solutions to help them better serve their communities and maximize their time, money and energy.
