Ridge Park Board Report Cards

This category measures the recorded effect of a member's votes on homeowner cost burden. Deductions are applied for votes supporting special assessments, general assessment increases, and lien actions. A special assessment means an additional charge to homeowners outside regular assessments. A general assessment increase means a vote that raises recurring association dues or assessments. A lien vote means a recorded vote supporting lien action against a homeowner.

Published formula: Affordability = 88 - (9 x special_assessments_supported) - (4 x general_assessment_increases_supported) - (0.75 x lien_votes_supported)

This category measures support for open and reviewable association decision-making. Credit is applied for documented support of open meetings and transparent financial policy. Deductions are applied when contract approvals rely on limited competitive review, including contracts approved with only one bid. A one-bid contract rate means the share of recorded contract votes where only one bid was available or documented.

Published formula: Transparency = 72 + (14 x open_meeting_support) + (14 x transparent_financial_policy_support) - (10 x one_bid_contract_rate)

This category measures procedural responsibility, restraint, and constructive board conduct. Credit is applied for documented resolutions proposed and for the absence of recorded censure support. Deductions are applied for votes supporting censure and for material gaps in participation on major recorded votes. A resolution means a formal board action or proposal recorded in association materials. A censure vote means a recorded vote to formally reprimand or condemn a board member.

Published formula: Governance = 84 + (1 x resolutions_proposed) + no_censure_vote_bonus - (7 x censure_votes_supported) - (1.5 x low_participation_gap)

This category measures care with association funds and contract oversight. Deductions are applied for special assessments, general assessment increases, one-bid contract approvals, and higher one-bid contract rates. Contract vote totals are used to distinguish an isolated one-bid vote from a repeated pattern in recorded board business.

Published formula: Financial Stewardship = 86 - (8 x special_assessments_supported) - (3 x general_assessment_increases_supported) - (1.25 x one_bid_contracts_approved) - (8 x one_bid_contract_rate)

This category measures documented participation in the recorded vote record. Credit is applied for participation in counted vote events and for formal resolutions proposed, subject to caps so that participation supports the score without overwhelming the other categories. Counted vote events include recorded lien, assessment, censure, contract, policy, and resolution-related actions used in the published score file.

Published formula: Participation = 70 + min(20, recorded_vote_events x 1.1) + min(10, resolutions_proposed x 0.75)
