Fairfield Harbour Voting Information

Simpson, Edwards, & Eichelburg

Team SEE

Why We Are Running...

• We are running as a team not because we agree on every issue, but because we share the values and principles needed to manage our community effectively with transparency, accountability, open communication, and a meaningful homeowners involvement.

• Over the past several years, Fairfield Harbour has experienced significant instability in community leadership. Two Board members were recalled by homeowners, several members resigned during their terms, and currently only six of the seven Board seats are filled — with three of those members appointed rather than elected by the homeowners. These patterns do not reflect a stable or well-managed organization. At the same time, major leadership decisions have substantially increased homeowner dues while leaving our community in a financially vulnerable position.

Financial Concerns Facing Our Community...

• Previous Boards, including some current members, approved the design and construction of a new community facility. Many homeowners expected a true community center with expanded amenities and activities for residents.

• The project resulted in a clubhouse without a private club, golf course integration, or restaurant model capable of supporting itself financially and without significant new amenities for homeowners.

• Without a community-wide vote, the Board committed Fairfield Harbour homeowners to approximately $10 million in debt over 15 years. Today, debt service alone represents roughly 20% of annual POA dues before accounting for maintenance, landscaping, utilities, insurance, and staffing.

• Our community management company is responsible for operating and staffing our community services, including the golf course, restaurant, and marinas. However, because the management agreement lacks meaningful performance standards, both the golf course and restaurant have incurred substantial annual losses for years.

• Those losses are subsidized by homeowners through POA dues, amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars annually.

• Combined with the clubhouse debt obligations, our ability to borrow funds for future community needs has become increasingly limited.

• Fairfield Harbour faces significant infrastructure needs, including aging roads and facilities that will require millions of dollars in future investment.

• Our reserve funding is not at the level a hurricane-prone coastal community should maintain.

• We cannot undo the construction of the clubhouse, but we can take immediate steps to reduce operating losses and improve financial oversight.

• That does not mean closing community businesses. It means ensuring they are professionally managed, financially accountable, and operating in the best interest of homeowners. Every reasonable option should be considered.

• Homeowners should not continue subsidizing public-facing businesses while essential community services and long-term infrastructure needs remain underfunded.

Our Shared Commitments to the Community...

If elected, we commit to the following:

• Restore trust, transparency, and confidence in the Board.

• Support homeowner authority to remove non-performing Directors through a simple majority vote.

• Ensure all POA actions requiring a vote are conducted in open meetings with opportunities for homeowner comment.

• Limit executive or closed sessions to clearly defined legal or personnel matters.

• Provide homeowners timely access to all POA documents legally available for review.

• Revisit the proposed relocation of POA offices by submitting the issue to a community vote.

• Establish a By-Laws and Governing Documents Committee to review, modernize, and improve the rules governing our community.

• Refrain from entering into major financial projects or selling community open space without homeowner approval until the governing documents are updated.

Our highest priority will always be the safety, financial stability, and long-term value of our community, your homes, and your families. We believe Fairfield Harbour can move forward with responsible leadership, transparent governance, and financial discipline that protects both our community and the investments homeowners have made here.
