  • How is TMCC’s 2025 shaping up?

    This article is intended to help residents to understand the situation at TMCC based on the information we have available. Please read it carefully so you are fully aware of the challenges facing our community. We have a huge problem to solve here in The Meadows and hopefully a better understanding of the details of…

  • How the MCA Board works

    We’ve received some questions about how the MCA governance structure works, so we’ve put together this note as a summary. See Footnote 4 for details on all MCA governing documents. We have a 9-member Board of Directors that represents MCA Homeowners (See Bylaws Article V). Election (See Bylaws Article VI for details) Board Operation (See…

  • Conflict of Interest Legal Opinion

    The issue of whether Directors who are members of The Meadows Country Club have a conflict of interest (COI) on issues related to TMCC has come up a number of times in the last year. Current and past MCA Presidents hav noted that the MCA has a legal opinion stating these Directors do not have…

  • Notes on Jan 22 MCA Townhall Meeting

    Lots of credit to the MCA for holding the Townhall meeting. As an indicator of its success there was strong support for holding them more frequently than quarterly. Would be great to get another one in before the snowbirds leave in April. LINK to Jan 22 MCA Townhall Meeting recording (also available through the Homeowner…

  • Notes from Jan 9 MCA Board meeting   

    We need to say right off the bat that there is some clear and significant improvements in transparency of information. That is exciting stuff.

  • Meadoword article on golf courses

    You may have just received the January Meadoword in your mailbox (it is not yet available online). On page 22, it republishes this article “Homeowners Will Pay The Price For A Backyard Golf Course, One Way Or Another”. Interesting coincidence that we published a post on that issue 3 days ago. Here are our notes…

  • Green Space & Property Values

    One of the most cited arguments made for supporting The Meadows Country Club is that our property values will plummet without TMCC. This view results from misquoting the supporting information, and straw man arguments (inferring anyone against subsidizing TMCC wants to cover the courses with condos). It has recently come up in a Facebook discussion…

  • How MANY are we subsidizing?

    In our last post we wrote about how MUCH MCA Homeowners are subsidizing The Meadows Country Club. In this post we’ll write about how MANY benefit from this. The best way to view this is by household (not number of members) because:1. We pay MCA assessments by household, not by person, 2. Family members pay…

  • TMCC subsidy is HUGE

    In a recent post we provided an analogy of the lease of MCA’s sports complex assets to The Meadows Country Club. If you haven’t read that please click the link and give it a read. It will be good context for this post. This analysis reflects changes from the MCA’s recent announcement that it would…
