Owners of Orofino by Straight Creek in Dillon CO have received a Special Assessment of $35,000 per unit to cover structural repairs to the 'concrete decks and catwalk system' and stairs.
1. An owner has set up a community Facebook page Odillion.
2. We have been told by the Board of Directors that they are planning to charge owners of each unit according to the numbers of weeks owned in that unit - generally between 35 and 42 / unit (ie around $800-$1,000/week owned - apart from 3 poor owners who are being asked for $11K +each!). This is about twice the normal annual maintenance fee (easily the cheapest of the timeshares we own but also has the fewest communal facilities). This doesn't seem fair but is it legal?
2. Apparently for each unit 50 weeks were offered for sale to allow 2 weeks for maintenance. No mention is made of who owns or has access to the unsold weeks! Any ideas how we can find out this info?
3. Apparently there is also a clause in the contract to say owners who are up-to-date with their dues can give their unit back to the Association for a fee of $1,000 ie approx. 2 years maintenance fee. So there is a way out for owners who no longer use their timeshare - which seems unusual but good news! The special assessment would need to be paid presumably first now - but there may be a bunch of units up for sale soon on Ebay etc. We are not planning to sell as it is a great resort for skiing with easy access to Keystone, Copper, Breckenridge etc and so far very low maintenance - that may all change now!
4. There has been a lot of email traffic amongst the owners with first names starting G to J as we were sent the assessments able to see and reply to each others emails - they presumably sent them in batches. If there is anyone out there on TUG who has received a different batch of emails, (ie A-G or K-Z first names) please could you let them know about the face book page Odillion and let us know with a post on here so we may be combine the groups to see each others posts?
5. There are various posts about the structural issues (costs, using salt for snow on concrete etc) so grateful for any advice.
6. The management co has changed twice recently and has now been taken over in the last month or so by Key to the Rockies. Does anyone know anything about this company?
7. Finally there is apparently a meeting coming up this week - but we have not been notified of it officially, and don't know when it is. Are there any owners who know when it is and/ or might be in a position to go?
I am copying this onto our email traffic as people may or may not know about TUG and if I can figure out how onto the Odillion Facebook page too. IT is not a strength of mine!
