B, RAGE 1 MPOA rejects rote t'laliulenler photo by Scott J Hrookx By Mark Baus Plaindealer News Service WONDER LAKE - Delegates and directors of the Master Property Owners Association in Wonder Lake voted down -- by nearly a 5-to-l margin -- a proposal to amend its bylaws to change voting rights. The vote was taken at the MPOA's 19th annual convention at the Highland Shores Community Building Sunday. A delegation from?>. Highland Shores Property>Owners Association proposed changing MPOA bylaws to give partial representation in the MPOA property owners associa­ tions based on the percentage of annual dues. paid. Currently, a prop­ erty owners group must pay 100 per­ cent of their MPOA dues or all its votes are revoked. Highland Shores made the propos­ al after they were forced to pay delinquent MPOA dues from their general fund. Craig Pfannkuche, di­ rector of the HSPO, said each year they are forced to pay about $2,000 out of their general fund to cover unpaid MPOA dues from HSPO property owners. The proposal would have allowed property owners the same percent­ age of votes as dues paid. "For Highland Shores this has generally incurred $2,000 out of our desperate­ ly needed general funds which we use for snow plowing and other ser­ vices," Pfannkuche said. "We pay' 80 percent of our dues and receive no votes. This is unjust and clearly inequitable."
