A Subscription Policy is necessary to ensure that the Association has \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ea fair, consistent and transparent approach for its Membership to enable it to operate continually each year\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ea sound credible financial basis under professional Accounting principles in how it manages its Accounts \u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ean operational model that enables the Association to achieve its goals and ensures a viable, sustainable organisation for the long term benefit of the Estate as a whole.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAn objective policy that Area Representatives can point to so there is no fuss, no emotion, and nothing personal. It\u0027s a rule of engagement that is understood by all parties for the Association to function.\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis policy has emerged from the Association’s experiences since its set up in 2014 and its learnings on the operational challenges in running an Association for Eagle Valley whereby\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eit is a large Estate the size of Eagle Valley with 300 houses\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eits geographic spread means that the different Areas of the Estate are disparate and disconnected\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ea significant proportion of Houses are Landlord Owned so that the level of on the ground Home Owner’s involvement or knowledge of their Area’s needs are low\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ethe ability to contact Residents and Home Owner stakeholders is reliant on mobile and email rather than the traditional door knocking and poster/flyer drops\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003ethe voluntary time and effort given by the Members to run the Association whether as Area Representatives or Committee Members is respected and supported\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the Association to function on a sustainable long term basis, it’s Subscription policy relies on three inputs (1) the responsibility of Members themselves (2) the Organisational responsibility of the Association (3) the responsibility of each Area of the Estate. These responsibilities are discussed in the following sections as the underlying rationale for the Eagle Valley Subscription Policy.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Responsibility of Members: Payment of Subscription Fees\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Association is purely an organisation of Volunteers where, at its most fundamental, each Member is a Volunteer who voluntarily pays their Subscription. However, being human, we often forget to pay! Some people may have financial difficulty in making payment for 1 year. And others choose not to pay. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Association cannot oblige people to pay and it doesn’t have the funds to operate professional administrative/secretarial support. The Members who volunteer their personal time to help run the Association should not have to face the turgid and dispiriting task of knocking on doors or ringing people asking for money and reminding people to pay. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, as a voluntary group of Members, it is the responsibility of each Member to ensure their subscription is paid on time and when requested. Payment details are always published on \u003ca href=\"http://www.eaglevalley.ie/\"\u003ewww.eaglevalley.ie\u003c/a\u003e and notifications are sent to Members where the Association has their mobile and email contact details.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs long as a Home Owner owns a House in the Estate, each Home Owner gets value from the funding and operation of the Association as detailed in Section 7.1 How the Association Offers Value to its Members. Consequently, \u003cu\u003eall Home Owners should contribute a Subscription Fee each year/collection towards the Association over the period of time that they own a House in the Estate.\u003c/u\u003e Since its founding in 2014, the Association has each year collected Subscription Fees and invested these funds in maintaining the Estate and its interests for that year’s operation to the benefit of all Home Owners, both non paying and paying, and the occupants of their houses whether Tenant or Resident. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhen Home Owners don’t pay Association Subscription Fees,\u003c/u\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e it is their neighbours who do pay the Subscription Fee that fill the funding gap that they leave. As a result of their non payment, their neighbours who do pay every year are losing either by paying a higher Subscription Fee to enable the Association’s costs to be met or being getting the benefit of being able to fund new projects to improve the Estate. If every house paid their subscription, the Subscription Fee could be significantly lowered and some badly needed development projects could be undertaken.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhen a Member Home Owner forgets or misses a year to pay their Association Subscription Fees,\u003c/u\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e this impacts the Association’s Annual Budget and Workplan. The Committee plans and budgets its operations each year recommending a Subscription Fee to the AGM based on the number of fully paid up Members as these are the people who can be relied upon to continually support the Association by paying each year. When a Member forgets to pay or misses a year, the Association has to either\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(1) Use the Association’s Reserve Funds to cover the gap in the budget \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(2) Or, as has been the case in the last number of years where there was no Reserve Fund, reduce basic maintenance spending and drop pursuing any special projects to develop and improve the Estate.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Association’s Organisational Responsibility: Continual \u0026 Consistent Subscription Policy\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the inception of the Association in 2014, every house has been called to a number of times by Association representatives; fliers have been dropped in doors and posters displayed throughout the estate to inform people of the Association. To ensure that every Home Owner, whether Resident or Landlord, was aware of the Association and the Annual Subscription need, the Association invested over €700 in a 2017 project to identify Home Owners and their addresses from the Land Register and Registry of Deeds. The Association then wrote to each and every Home Owner in the Estate who had not paid to invite them to join the Association. So every Home Owner in the Estate was made aware of the Association and the Subscription Fees.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith every Home Owner notified of the Association and its fees, the 2017 AGM (19/9/2017) voted to introduce a Continual Membership policy whereby the majority of Members voted to carry forward unpaid annual subscriptions associated with a house for the period that house is held by the Home Owner. Flexibility in payment where needed would be an option in the Policy to accommodate those who had difficulty in paying. The reasons for this are explained below.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eOrganisationally, the problem of non payment of Subscription Fees cannot be ignored as it undermines the objectives and longer term viability and sustainability of the Association.\u003c/u\u003e \u003c/strong\u003eIf the Association ignores unpaid subscription fees, paid up Members will view the Association’s Officers, whether Committee or Area Representatives, as violating their organisational duty of care to look after their interests as Members and Volunteers whereby failing to collect Unpaid Subscription Fees means \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe Membership will erode over time as the responsible Paying Members will stop paying if the Association gets a reputation for letting responsible Members carry the financial weight for the non paying Houses \u003cem\u003e“Why should I pay if they are haven’t paid and still get the benefits?” \u003c/em\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eNon paying Home Owners and less responsible Members see no cost to not paying the Subscription Fee in any one year. Every Home Owner and the residents of every house in the Estate, paying or non paying, is a beneficiary of the subscription funds collected and the services paid for each year. \u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eA Home Owner who has not paid subscription fees in previous years could choose to join the Association for one year to deal with one problem/need they have and then not bother paying again in the future. Essentially, for the cost of one year’s Subscription Fee, they would reap the assets that the Association has developed based on the subscriptions paid by responsible Members over the previous years when they chose not to pay. This has been the experience of the Association on a number of occasions. Aside from the annual maintenance services, the Association now holds considerable value and assets in its Member register, Authority as a collective voice for the Estate, and in its community discussion groups.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe Association’s Officers, Committee or Officers, are being placed in a stressful and difficult situation. They are volunteers who have stepped up to give their personal time along with their Subscription Fees to help run the Association so calling to doors or phoning people to ask for money is the surest way to kill that spirit. They should have the support of a consistent and objective Association Subscription Policy to which they can point so there is no fuss, no emotion, and nothing personal. It\u0027s a rule of engagement that is understood by all parties for the Association to function. They should be able to rely on Members personally taking the onus and responsibility for prompt and timely payment of Subscription Fees each year. \u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe Subscription Fee cannot be reduced or may have to increase for the responsible Members who can be relied upon to pay every year in order for the Association to meet its basic maintenance objectives.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe Officer’s cannot reliably plan or finance the Associations’ activity programme for the maintenance of the Estate\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe Association either cannot or is delayed in building up funds to undertake much needed special development projects to improve the Estate. \u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first responsibility and duty of care of the Association and its Officers, whether Committee or Area Representative, is to all the fully paid up Members of the Association and Volunteer Officers and ensuring the long term sustainability of the Association - the interests of the fully paid up Members have to be evaluated first. The fully paid up Members form the majority of the Association and its backbone in that they can be relied upon to pay each year and do not cost the Volunteers time and effort in following up for payment of subscriptions.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, while a €60 Subscription Fee given one year by a previously non-paying Home Owner is hard to reject, the cost of ignoring non-payers is much greater than what they owe as the non-payers or irregular payers will erode the responsible paying Members and Volunteers and any chance the Association has to build a viable and sustainable organisation for the long term. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Association’s existence and ability to function over time is reliant on people understanding that if they don’t pay each year, the Association is eroded and there will be no organisation to look after the common interests in the estate or its maintenance. If the non-payment, missed payment or late payment of subscription fees is ignored, it is an injustice to all the other owners in the Association who are meeting their obligations and the Volunteers who act as Committeer and Area Representatives. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo function, the Association needs a fair, transparent, CONSISTENT Subscription Policy to which its Officer’s can refer to and under which Members can understand their obligations. So, in order to build a sustainable Association for Eagle Valley into the future, all Home Owners are asked to contribute on a continual/recurring annual basis to ensure the objectives and activities of the Association, in its Budget and Reserve Funds, are properly financed.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Responsibility of Areas of the Estate\u003c/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEagle Valley Estate is very large with 300 houses spread out in groups/areas over a wide geographic area. It has been the Association’s experience since its set up that the Estate is too big for a voluntary organisation to manage it without Home Owners in each Area taking responsibility for managing their Area and co-operating with other Areas under the umbrella of the Association. The function of the Committee is to administer organisational policies and support the Area Representatives.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an organisation of Volunteers, the Association relies on the interest of people in an Area to function effectively. If an Area does not have Representation to the Association or a sufficient number of Full Members in the Area, the Association cannot assist in managing the Area. The Association has experienced the unfairness and unsustainability of relying on performing Areas to subsidise poorly performing Areas where the Home Owners have not organised or are disinterested. Subsidising these underperforming Areas means that the Performing Areas end up suffering in diminished services and inability to fund new development projects. Moreover, it is only people on the ground in an Area that can understand its needs and manage it effectively. \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsequently, from an organisational sustainability perspective, the problem of non-represented and poorly performing Areas of the Estate cannot be ignored as it undermines the objectives and longer term viability and sustainability of the Association. It is the function of the Committee to monitor each Area of the Estate to ensure:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eEach Area of the Estate has a minimum of two Area Representatives acting on behalf of the Membership of that Area. A minimum of 2 people is needed to allow backup and support for each other on the ground.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe Subscription Collection rates in each Area are monitored by the Committee \u0026 Areas Liaison Officer to ascertain whether the Membership in an Area is sustainable in meeting the costs of servicing it. Some performance criteria/benchmarks need to be established by the Committee/AGM. For example,\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAt the lowest end, the Association’s Constitution provides for dissolution of the Association if the general membership falls below 50%. Where an Area does not have representation or is falling below 50% or its subscriptions are not meeting the cost base of providing services to it, its affiliation with the Association should be considered in line with the basic threshold set by the Constitution.\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAt the higher end, a number of Areas of the Estate are now achieving 80-90% Subscription Collection rates which would be in line with subscription collection rates in other Estate Associations.\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsequently, where an Area is falling below performance criteria and doesn’t have Area Representatives, this is a flag to the Committee of its management need to address the issue and to alert Members in the Area of the need for action. For example, when the Association was in crisis this year (2019) and membership was dropping to the 50% level, the Association notified its Membership that there was decision to be made at a Special General Meeting as to whether to \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDissolve the Association with the result that greens would not be cut and maintenance support by the Association stopped\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eContinue the Association which would require people to volunteer as Area Representatives and Committee Members and increase Membership\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis notification achieved the necessary response and the Association was reinvigorated with new Volunteers as Area Representatives and Members bringing their accounts up to date and new Member Houses joining.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, to avoid a drastic situation where the Association has to proceed to disassociate an Area from the Association, it is the Committee’s responsibility to monitor the Representation and Membership Levels of an Area and step in to address any problems in advance of any new operational year. Suggested threshold criteria that indicate action is needed by the Committee are:\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eWhere there are less than 2 Area Representatives for an Area, the Committee moves to fill the vacancies\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eWhere the Subscription level in an Area drops below 70%, the Committee moves to a drive program to improve the membership level in that Area.\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere the target number of subscriptions for an Area has not been reached and there is inadequate Area Representation, there are 4 possible options \u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe Committee launches a drive to recruit Area Representatives and/or Members in that Area\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAreas that are performing in terms of Subscription levels and Area Representation may have a sufficient surplus to fund the costs of servicing an underperforming Area. Such a subsidy decision requires the agreement by the Area Representatives for performing areas and if necessary/time allows, these Area Representatives should poll the Member Houses in their Area for consent. Any formal decision should be voted upon at an Area Representatives Meeting.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe Committee goes back to the Member Houses in the underperforming Area to ask for an additional subscription/increase in the Subscription fee to cover the Association’s costs in servicing that area.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe most drastic step would be where the Association disassociates an underperforming Area. This is the decision by vote of an Area Representatives meeting (the underperforming area(s) would not be entitled to vote) and can be appealed to the AGM. \u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the Committee is monitoring subscription performance/Representative levels by Area, there should be adequate time between the Subscription collection and the Operational Year for the Committee to launch a drive to address the issues and not have to progress through options 2, 3 and 4.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMember Subscription Payment Responsibilities\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMembers make up the heart of the Association and have 4 core responsibilities\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnnual Subscription Fee Payment\u003c/strong\u003e (payment details are published on \u003ca href=\"http://www.eaglevalley.ie/\"\u003ewww.eaglevalley.ie\u003c/a\u003e where Members are responsible for\u003c/li\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003ePayment of the Annual Subscription Fee for a House where a subscription is payable for each house that has its own postal address.
