RAFT Committee Presentation: July 12, 2024 Board Meeting
The SVEA Board of Directors in their March 2024 board meeting formed a committee to review the Rental Amenity Access Fee and audit the existing use of technology by SVEA. The Committee initiated the review of the Rental Amenity Access Fee by holding a public forum of rental property owners affording them an opportunity to present their concerns for Committee consideration. Following the public forum session, the Committee compiled actual use data which the rental property owners outlined as a primary basis on which any conclusions should be made. With use data information compiled for the 2023/24 season, the Committee outlined a rental fee program that could potentially address most of the concerns expressed by the rental property owners.
The Committee presented their findings to the SVEA Board of Directors on July 12, 2024. A copy of the information can be found clicking on the following:
