📰 No Spin, Just Truth: Why Independent Voices Matter in Hills of Inverrary

By -

For too long, community communication in Hills of Inverrary has been filtered through a narrow lens—email blasts and “community updates” shaped largely by board insiders or former board members. While these messages often reflect important information, they’ve sometimes lacked balance, transparency, or room for open dialogue.

That changes now.

Welcome to your “No Spin” source for community updates—an independent blog and email group that serves residents first, not agendas.

🗣️ Why Independence Matters

Independent voices are essential to a healthy, well-informed community. When communication flows only from one direction, it limits:

  • Transparency about how and why decisions are made

  • Constructive criticism of board actions or spending

  • Resident feedback that deserves to be heard and shared

This platform is not operated by the board, nor by any current or former board members acting as editors. It's run by residents, for residents—with a mission to shine light on what’s happening, not polish it.

We believe real empowerment comes from:

  • Honest meeting recaps

  • Clear explanations of policy and budget impacts

  • Diverse community perspectives

  • Respectful but courageous conversations about accountability

✅ What You Can Expect from the No Spin Blog & Email Group

  • Recaps of board meetings written independently, not filtered through official channels

  • Commentary and analysis on pending decisions and how they affect you

  • Spotlights on maintenance, rules, vendor performance, and resident feedback

  • No fear of addressing difficult issues like special assessments, deferred maintenance, or governing practices

We’re not here to tear anyone down—we’re here to raise the bar.

📣 Want to Stay Informed Without the Spin?

You’re already on the right track. By joining this email group and reading this blog, you’ve joined a growing number of Hills of Inverrary residents who care about thoughtful, transparent governance and want an independent outlet to track what’s really going on.

Future posts will continue to dig into:

  • Infrastructure updates (like the Pool A pump room issue)

  • Reserve funding and special assessment decisions

  • Rule changes and board dynamics

  • Resident-led ideas for improving our community

This is your platform. No filters. No fluff. No spin.

Let’s build a stronger, smarter Hills of Inverrary—together, and truthfully.

Want to submit your own insights or help moderate the conversation? We'd love to hear from you. Let’s keep the community talking—for the right reasons. 🏡🗞️💬

Hills News: Giving Residents a Voice Beyond the Boardroom

By -
In every community, there exists a delicate balance between governance and grassroots action. Here in our neighborhood, that balance has sometimes felt out of reach. Too often, during board meetings—particularly under the Good and Welfare agenda—residents find themselves interrupted, dismissed, or accused of being off-topic. Important concerns go unanswered, and meaningful discussions stall before they even begin. That’s why Hills News exists. This blog is more than just a space for updates—it's an independent community outlet designed to ensure that every resident has a voice. Whether it's holding the board accountable for decisions affecting our homes, advocating for changes that matter, or simply refusing to accept the same old cycle of closed-door discussions, this platform empowers residents to speak without fear of censorship.

🎯 When “Removal” Isn’t Repair: Why Our Trellises Deserve Restoration, Not Erasure

By -

In our community, the exterior maintenance of buildings—including architectural features like wood trellises—is the responsibility of the association. These trellises, while decorative, are part of the original design, lending charm, symmetry, and character to our homes. But recently, something troubling happened: after one resident’s trellis showed visible termite damage, the association sent someone out—not to repair it, but to saw it off and declare it wouldn’t be replaced. Why? Because the board decided trellises “attract termites.” Let’s be clear— removal is not maintenance. And under both state law and the spirit of our own governing documents, the association is obligated to maintain the exterior of the property—not selectively erase the parts it no longer wants to care for. 📜 What the Law Says Florida Statute 718.113 requires that associations maintain and repair the common elements—especially if those features are part of the original design. If trellises are considered “li...

Infrastructure Maintenance: A Fiduciary Responsibility, Not an Afterthought

By -

In Hills of Inverrary, the board of directors isn’t just a group of volunteers—it’s a fiduciary body entrusted with the financial and operational wellbeing of our community. That means every decision, especially regarding infrastructure like storm drains, sewer laterals, and roads, must reflect duty of care , duty of loyalty , and duty of obedience to the association’s governing documents. Ignoring Infrastructure Breaches That Duty When storm drains are clogged and flooding occurs, the issue isn’t merely aesthetic or inconvenient—it’s a failure to uphold the fiduciary obligation to protect common elements and maintain community value. Allowing critical infrastructure to deteriorate exposes the association to liability, reduces property values, and ultimately costs homeowners far more in the long run. Good Governance Means Smart Budgeting Effective infrastructure maintenance starts with forward-thinking financial planning. A responsible board doesn’t wait for failure—they anticipate...
