The truth is that the Arbors homeowners have been hit with staggering increases in their monthly fees. Over the past decade, their assessments from the Association have nearly doubled from $170 to $330 per month or approximately $2,000 to $4,000 per year. Relief was expected during Agahian's presidency as the Village took over providing some services formerly funded by the Association and the Tennessee Gas Company offered to purchase a parcel of land owned by the Arbors. The sale alone would have brought relief of up to nearly $600 per homeowner. Instead, with Agahian as president, the Association failed to finalize the sale and then spent the homeowners' money on unnecessary legal fees and a land survey that proved unusable. The bottom line for Arbors homeowners is the imposition of an additional $240-per-year financial burden instead of the expected decrease. This is not the kind of result anyone would want to see repeated at the Village level, especially in today's difficult times.
