DID YOU KNOW? DID YOU KNOW? DID YOU KNOW that it's almost time to count the ballots that were sent out last month? Have you turned in your ballot to eliminate district delegates and cumulative voting? If not, there may be time to bring it down to The Lodge and turn it in before the count begins. Eliminating the district delegates will provide substantial cost savings by doing away with postage-paid return envelopes, the cost to draft ballots, and the legal costs to review. In addition, if for any reason the delegate is not available on election day, the district votes are not counted. And in a board election, if the district doesn't get a 50 percent turnout of voters from their 100-plus households, the delegate is given the authority to cast all the 100-plus votes to a single candidate of his or her choice, regardless of how their district residents voted. Currently we have cumulative voting which means you can cast as many votes for one candidate as there are open seats. Eliminating cumulative voting will help residents elect a well-rounded board, not just an individual. Our current CCRs require a 67-percent return of "yes" votes to eliminate the district delegates and cumulative voting. In order to achieve the two-thirds majority a return of at least 80 percent of the ballots is necessary. Please exercise your right to vote. DID YOU KNOW Four Seasons has a new Assistant General Manager? Her name is Lynne Cesario and she comes to us from the FirstService Residential Rancho Cucamonga office where she managed seven communities in the Inland Empire and Irvine. You may not know that Lynne has not always worked in the HOA field. Her career was in the world of finance, mostly investments. Originally from Massachusetts, she worked for State Street Bank in the Mutual Funds Division located in Boston. Later in her career she earned a Series 6 and a Series 63 license. Although she loved her career, she took a leap of faith deciding it was time for a change. She is in her third year with FirstService Residential, recently earning her CMCA credential (Certified Manager of Community Associations). On a personal note, Lynne has two daughters, Jenn and Renee, a "better-half " John, and three doggies, Miko, Theodore, and Andy. In the summer, you will find them at the river enjoying the water on their new pontoon boat. In the winter, you can find them riding in the desert on their Can-Am. John and Lynne have a home in the neighboring community of Fairway Canyon. Lynne is so excited to join Eric and the rest of the Four Seasons' management team and to be a part of our community. If you happen to see her walking around, please introduce yourself. She would love to meet you. FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | AUGUST 2021 19
