Silver Springs Single Family HOA Mission Statement
1995
by Frederic Stayrook
A Trust is a relationship between parties where one party holds the legal right to manage the affairs of the relationship for the benefit of the other parties. The party who has the responsibility for the Trust is called the Trustee.
I have been selected to serve as a Trustee for the Silver Springs Homeowners Association’s home and property owners. My sole responsibility is to assure that all business conducted by the Board of the Homeowners Association will benefit all parties in the Trust.
To determine benefit from any action undertaken by the Board, I shall use three criteria:
1) Is it relevant to all members?
2) Is it fair to all members?
3) Will it profit all members?
As Trustee, I will be bound to enforce CC&Rs determinations of what the home and property owners have agreed to be used as the guidelines for our community. However, as a Trustee, I shall also evaluate the appropriateness of existing CC&Rs and encourage change where they are deemed necessary.
I shall oppose involvement by any special interest group who shall attempt to use the Board to empower their cause. Unless there is a clear benefit to all home and property owners, such efforts waste the time and resources of the Association.
I am, by nature, vocal in my position. I am an independent thinker capable of determining my only opinion. I shall always maintain the criteria process which I’ve outlined above to establish my position on each issue.
I enlist the input of each home and property owner within the Association to assure that this Board truly is representing the concerns of the community. I desire an openness and sense of involvement by all to assure a growing, friendly environment in which every member has a sense of pride and accomplishment.
