🕵️‍♂️ The Hills Have Rules — A Night with the Condo Commandments Committee

By -

Last night at the Hills of Inverrary, the Rules and Regulations Committee gathered for what can only be described as a ceremonial recitation of the Condo Commandments—minus the ceremony, plus a generous helping of monotony.

The Rules and Regs Guy, our self-anointed Moses of the Master Deed, took center stage and delivered a sermon so dry it could’ve been used to dehumidify the clubhouse. He spoke at length about the sacredness of the rules, the importance of enforcement, and the spiritual significance of laminated signage. Somewhere between “Section 4.2.1 of the Trash Bin Placement Protocol” and “Thou Shalt Not Park Crooked,” the Meeting Monitor nodded solemnly, as if bearing witness to the unveiling of divine truth.

Then came the declaration: “The Condo Docs are our Bible!”

A bold theological pivot, considering the Meeting Monitor once nearly combusted when the Hills of Inverrary News blog referred to a former board president as the “Pope of the Hills.” Apparently, papal metaphors are blasphemy, but condo scripture? Holy ground.

To clarify his position, the Rules and Regs Guy announced, “I am not a Condo Commando.”
Which is exactly what a Condo Commando would say.
But fear not, residents—he’s not going to kick down your door for a rogue doormat. He’s just hiring security guards to patrol the premises like it’s Fort Knox with a pool.

And just when you thought the sermon was winding down, he unveiled his vision for the Hills’ future: a sacred tome of rules, tightly bound and beautifully presented to all new residents. Inspired by a neighboring condo association’s glossy, leatherette-bound rulebook (rumored to come with gold leaf and a bookmark ribbon), he insisted the Hills must follow suit. Because nothing says “Welcome Home” like a 72-page covenant wrapped in faux mahogany.

We can only assume the deluxe collector's edition will include:

  • A foreword by the Rules and Regs Guy himself
  • A centerfold of prohibited patio furniture
  • And a pull-out map of the community’s spiritual fault lines (i.e., where the recycling bins should go)

Meanwhile, the rest of us are left wondering:

  • Will there be a dress code for garbage day?
  • Is the Bible of the Hills available in audiobook?
  • And if the Rules and Regs Guy isn’t a Condo Commando, does that make him a Condo Cleric?

Stay tuned, Hills faithful. The next meeting may feature incense, robes, and a ceremonial reading of the bylaws in Gregorian chant.

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...
