On Saturday, March 1, the Pagosa Lakes Property Owners Association (PLPOA) announced that the vote for the proposed gymnasium project did not pass.
Additional details were released on the PLPOA’s website at https://www.plpoa.com/gymnasium/ on Monday, March 3, which indicated there were a total of 5,316 votes submitted out of a possible 14,712.
The website indicates that 5,207 votes were submitted through the “e-vote” option, while 109 votes were submitted through the telephone option.
The question PLPOA members were being asked to vote on was, “Do you approve the funding for the construction of a gymnasium through a one-time special assessment of $255 which will be billed April 1, 2025 and due July 1, 2025?”
According to the additional information released by PLPOA, a total of 4,789 “weighted votes” were cast for that question, and 3,419 votes disapproved while 1,370 votes approved. That equates to approximately 71.4 percent of voters disapproving of the project, with 28.6 percent of voters approving it.
Votes from Wyndham timeshare owners were also collected, with 524 voters indicating a choice on this ballot. Total weighted votes cast on this ballot are shown 10.07652, or .1 percent of 9,649.27 total weighted possible votes. Of those weighted votes, 67.9 percent disapproved and 32.06 percent approved.
Attempts to reach PLPOA board members and General Manager Allen Roth for additional comment were unsuccessful as of press time Wednesday.
