what is Main Function

I watched this month's Delegate Assembly Meeting online with so surprise to the usual rhetoric about how someone didn't get to read this or that before it was brought up for a vote... same thing EVERY TIME  a vote comes up. they want something put off until the following month "so they could read it". If they were so interested, why didn't they request a copy the day before? why are some things not great to release too early?
There have been unscrupulous people in the past that have released information to those that really shouldn't get it and it winds up in the hands of venders competition, and can skew a contract the wrong way and we could wind up voting for something totally different from what is expected.
UCO's function is to obtain the best possible contract for the village. THAT IS ACTUALLY IT'S MAIN FUNCTION. Not to handle the little daytoday problems of your association.
UCO doesn't care what color you want to paint your railings, although If asked, I am sure someone there will be happy to give their opinion which someone MAY take for advice... Be very careful what you ask of UCO, and UCO be aware of your answers.
Remember, everyone has an opinion, most of them are not correct, some are. listen carefully for what you believe to be the right answer and by all means, support it.
Some will find enlightenment while others will carry on with the belief that they and only they are right and ever will ever be right, And to them in particular, I ask, do you know what UCA's function really is? It's not to settle quarrels about what plant you want on your front yard, or whether your railing should be gray, blue red or sky-blue-pink. It works out contracts. 
Committees are formed to oversee an issue, then they resolve the issue and if need be it comes before the DA.
If you don't read the papers put out, or come in the day before and get an advance copy, then you are not doing YOUR job.
In closing, a heathy happy new year. Good luck to those that are running for office, and let's see how many more we can get.
