Mr. Don Morris
President Radburn Board of Trustees

Dear Mr. Morris:

We look forward to an open and informative meeting April 9th and urge you to include in the agenda issues of critical importance to all Radburnites in order that the meeting be meaningful and productive. Factual explanations from the Board would go a long way towards quelling the rancor in the community.

First and most urgent is an explanation of the facts regarding the 37% increase in assessments to cover increased legal expenses and clarification of exactly how that money is being applied. At present there exist confusing counter explanations and rumors that have seriously divided the community and it would be useful and informative for the Radburn Trustees to clear them up.

Second for the long term welfare of Radburn is the concern of South Side homeowners about not being represented on the Board by one or more of their neighbors. This has intensified since the announcement of the sale of Daly Field. The planned development of the Daly and Hayward properties has greatest impact on the South Side homeowners and they should have some representation. Surely there are many qualified South Side residents whose participation would contribute to the healing process. There is a need to know why so very few South Side homeowners have ever served on the Board and be reassured that you are working to correct that situation.

Time permitting there are several other very important matters that beg for open and honest communication such as the process for selection of a new Manager and the counter lawsuits against litigant homeowners, but the two subjects named above deserve your utmost consideration. Radburn homeowners, especially those opposed to the secret sale of Daly Field and the unsatisfactory explanations that followed from your end, have to hear straight talk from the Trustees or you can be certain that the tensions in this community will escalate to the point that the healing we devoutly wish for may never come. There is no better time than right now for the Trustees to fulfill their sworn service to the people of Radburn. To evade these issues would be a dereliction of duty by the Board.

Respectfully,

[signed by 20+ southside residents]
