DRAMATIC RISE in HP CONDO FEES for 2025

Phase One conducted its annual meeting, where the board voted to approve the proposed 2025 budget. What is happening in Phase One is a very good indicator of what will be happening in the other three phases.
Before I give you the bad news about the rising fees, it’s important to understand the following. Your quarterly Phase Condo fee includes the HPA fee. In our documents, only the Phase Associations collect money. That means your quarterly condo fee includes both the HPA and unique phase fees. The HP Treasurer deducts the HPA proton of your payment and transfers the money to them.
In the Phase One budget, the new quarterly condo fee will rise $597, from $2,477 to $3,074.
I don’t know what the exact amount of the 2025 condo fees for the other three phases will be. However, based on my conversations with board members from other phases, you should also anticipate, a dramatic rise in your quarterly condo fees starting in January. You can see the tentative 2025 fees for all four phases on the CONDO FEES page.
For those of you under financial stress, I have a suggestion which will help make your condo payments less stressful. You’ll be paying the same exact amount of money, but we have residents who prefer 3 smaller monthly payments. instead of one huge quarterly payment. I’ve been doing this for more than 2 years and it helped make my HP financial life so much easier.
In order to understand how you can make monthly payments, instead of one large quarterly payment, pleases go to the CONDO FEES page and read the article I wrote.

DELRAY MARKETPLACE 2024 CONCERTS EVERY WEDNESDAY NIGHT

The fabulous KRUSH PARTY BAND, the  best and most exciting band to ever perform @ Delray Marketplace, was outstanding on November 6th.  If you like Motown and Disco, you would have thoroughly enjoyed the evening. They played one great dance song after another, which had the crowd up on the dance floor throughout the entire show.

On opening night of the season, the fun filled, free Delray Marketplace Wednesday evening shows started off great. The first band performing this season was Rhona’s favorite, HAPPY DAZE. They were very good the first 45 minutes, mediocre for the next hour, and then terrific for the last 15 minutes of the show. They ended the evening with 2 fabulous songs from Chuck Berry and then Jerry Lee Lewis, which had a significant portion of the crowd up on the dance floor. 

Every time I looked up, my brother was dancing with a different group of women, who loved hanging out with him on the dance floor. 


NIGHT OUT CLUB: Halloween Boo Bash 

On Sunday, Oct 27th, the Night Out Club, with DJ Arnie, sponsored another fun filled party at the Clubhouse Parking Lot.  We have tons of photos, capturing the spirit of the evening as the crowd had a wonderful time. You can check out the photos on our Halloween 2024 page. Here is a small handful of sample photos to get your attention.


 

HURRICANE MILTON 

The hurricane landed up in central Florida, where there was lots of damage caused by flooding. The big lesson for HP residents who live in a villa, or a first floor garden apartment, is the importance of getting flood insurance from FEMA. Your homeowners Condo policy does not cover damage from rising water from the lakes, the canals, or rainwater.

If you still don’t believe the kind of damage we can suffer, please visit out Villa Roofs and Safety page to see the flood damage HP suffered back in 2014, Please keep in mind, those photos were taken almost 24 hours after the flooding stopped.

PAVIING LADY LAWSUIT SETTLED!

On Friday August 23, 2024, HPA President Susan Levine, announced there will be no trial, which was originally scheduled for August 19, 2024. Why? Because the Paving Lady Lawsuit was settled. At this point in time, she is not allowed to give us any details of the settlement. We were told it would be several weeks before the specific details are released.

Four years ago, I was the only HPA board member who voted NO to the lawsuit, which Hal Pugach of Phase III, persuaded the HPA board to engage in. I advised our board members that 94% of civil cases in Florida never go to trial. Here’s what happens.  After 3-5 years, both parties get tired of spending massive amounts of money on legal fees and come to an agreement. Very often, they settle for the same conditions they could have settled on in week one.

So far, the HPA spent over THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS on legal fees! Since our attorney will be working on the settlement details of the case for several more weeks, the legal bills could possibly approach $350,000.

HOT BRASS BAND CONCERT: THURSDAY APRIL 25 in DOWNTOWN DELRAY BEACH  

If you’re new to this area, you may not be familiar with the OLD SCHOOL SQUARE AMPHITHEATER in Downtown Delray Beach. For many years, that was the place to be on a Friday night for their exciting, free concerts. The place was always packed, and they have a large dance floor in front of the stage, just like Delray Marketplace. The amphitheater is much bigger than the one at Delray Marketplace.

Who performed? The band was “Hot Brass”, a Chicago based Earth, Wind, & Fire Tribute band.  Hot Brass is an 10 piece band, who were phenomenal. In addition to the sounds of Earth, Wind, and Fire, they played songs from Chicago, and threw in a couple of Motown hits. The big question for us, is who had more fun? Was it the audience or members of the band? Here are just 3 photos. If you want to see all of the photos, please click on OLD SCHOOL SQUARE SHOWS on the menu.
