Litigation Status

Bill announced that after nearly 5 years, the litigation against the Wynne Building Corporation has been settled.
Thank you given to all for the support provided
Our 3^rd mediation was on March 23 was about 6 hours long and then negotiations continued for the next 37 days
This resulted in an agreement that was signed on April 29, 20026
While we did not get the settlement we wanted, it was clear that we couldn’t continue the battle indefinitely, and Wynne was finally willing to make some concessions in order to end the lawsuit.

Settlement Summary

Details of the settlement not in the letter sent out by Wynne include a return to one annual increase percentage for everyone. The rate % increase will be based on the June CPI each year. The range continues to be 3.5% to 7.5%.
There is also a one-time rent credit of $329 to be given in June to residents who have owned their same property continuously since November 2021 to the present.
- 482 Golf Village owners collectively get a total of $163,398 in rent credits
- Golf Village has $49,568.18 in attorney fees
- Golf Village “net” $113,829.82
- 490 Country Club Village owners will also get the credit
- Wynne will pay $329,508 in rent credits in June

Q & A

There are numerous CPI calculation methods. How is the CPI calculated for this agreement? The method has not changed. The calculation method is the one that Social Security is based on.
What about owners who were here for the eligibility period but bought a different house in the park during the period? Why don’t they qualify? Per Wynne rationale, with the house/lot change, a new lease was issued and the old one that qualified was null and void. This was something we were against but were unable to get changed.
Are all the parks involved in the settlement? No. Just Golf Village and Country Club. Spanish Lakes One dropped out early in the conflict. Riverfront and Fairways never joined in legal challenge.

Good of the Order

Resident c/o about ongoing issues with inspections and needs help with the Wynne demands
Marie stated that the lawsuit has shown that the HOA stands up for residents
Sandi offered kudos to Bill for all his hard work on managing the legal aspects of the lawsuit, and to everyone else who worked on it for the past 5 years

Adjournment

Motion to adjourn made by Sherrie Anepete and seconded by Carol Hill. All were in favor, and meeting was adjourned at 7:35 PM.
