Empowering Tellico Village's Unified Voice

Residents of Tellico Village

 

The Village is not being properly governed. Our board has disregarded the boundaries set in our Covenant and Restrictions by getting a legal opinion to support adding $80 to your water and sewer bill to pay for TAP. They have told the Village this is required to pay for “needed infrastructure” when just months before they said the projects could be paid for out of our assessments, charges and fees. The Board has refused to listen to Villagers who have questioned the need for this fee, as well as whether the projects have been properly vetted as to their need, alternatives and costs.

 

A group of Villagers have decided to retain the services of an attorney to explore the legitimacy of the boars's legal maneuver, and to communicate with our Board the need to take a step back on implementing this fee. We are hopeful that it will end there, but are prepared to bring formal legal action against the Board and certain executives of our POA.

 

Please make a donation to this fund. $80 is the recommended minimum, which will send a message to the Board that we are serious about pushing back. However, many Villagers have the ability (and have already done so as several thousands of dollars have been raised ) to contribute more.

A not-for-profit (NFP) entity. “Voice of Tellico” is being set up to share information on this initiative and to do a proper accounting of monies contributed. At the conclusion of this effort, any funds collected that are not used will be proportionately distributed back, after adjustments based on size of contribution, to allow for a full and fair accounting to those that have contributed by name.

 

If you choose to donate anonymously, any overage will stay in the community and and be donated to an entity such as Timeless Tellico, or perhaps others that we have established in our Village in order to make Tellico Village a better place.
