Haha, good for you. Yes, we do have an increased spending limit here but that can be a two edged sword if the committee go off and do silly things with it. It seems being on the Committee tends to turn folks from your allies to enemies once they join and discover the practicalities and time consumption these things can take. And realize the nonsense that lands in their lap dealing with all sorts of people, agendas, competencies etc.
That’s why the numbers gathered of disgruntled owners who will form a united voice surely has it’s place, but the compiling person to gather these needs to probably be the architect of a proven battle plan before doing this and then determines to stay in control or you may find your group all falls apart on fractured desires.
Selling the broader dream of what you feel is beneficial (with reasons why) and backed up with Act requirements and supporting stuff will help sway things your way and help you make it less about you v them personally. A ‘less me, more we’ approach hopefully helps and so the numbers behind you surely can’t hurt.
