It seems like more property owners are concerned then you think. Spending has always been a problem in the past with previous boards and it seems this one may be following suit. As far as going bankrupt if you read the last financial report we should be stable, again, unless the BOD does some stupid spending.The BOD must work together and not worry about certain employees and property owners and make decisions fairly to ALL property owners. Everyone should also realize we employ the staff and they do not employ the owners.Also, with all the delays in choosing a property manager we should look towards Appletree Mgt. that runs Eagle Lake and if you're curious how good they are take a visit to Eagle Lake where their dues are lower then ours and the comeback from owners here will be they pay their own electric, well, the average electric bill is under $100 for a season. Before people think this would not benefit us think about someone who doesn't take input from owners who helped the board member get elected and is now looking for paybacks, if you don't think this is happening I know a bridge in NY that I can get you a good deal on.
anon---- yes i'll take that bridge -- what color is it? ---well i know that everyone thinks that the finances are stable and in good shape -- but remember a mill ot two isn't much -- a lot of people have that in a savings accounts or under their pillow-- today that's chump change -- la wastes money like no end --there are all kinds of areas that need a review at la -- everything from the staffing to the operations at la to the way the discretionary spending is controlled-- these are things that should be reviewed periodically on a regular basis and not only at times when finances are stressful--- operations continue unabated as if la operated at full tilt year round when in fact this community is a seasonal operation when 95% of all members visit in about 12 weeks of the summer -- during the rest of the year la should have operations cut back and staffing levels reduced to reflect the off season status-- everyone else in the poconos operates this way --why not la????? the members are literally providing a virtual welfare state for employees who have no work load or any fuctions that require full time status in these 40 weeks of the off season---- WHY????? because the bod can't make the right decisions or are afraid to make the tough decisions-- they are more interested in maintaining their board seats than tending to the la operations-- any change will bring about a screaming response from the 20 nesters who live at la almost all year ( wink -- wink) and these people want all services and all staffing avialable all the time -- if they don't get it they will go after the bod members who took away their operations and staffing -- they will wage a campaign against those members when the bod elections comes around--- it doesn't bother the nesters that other la members are subsidizing their lifestyle and virtual full time status here at la --and that this subsidy is wasting other member's money-- they're only interested in their self preservation of a very cheap lifestyle here at la -- not unlike welfare???---so changing anything at la is very risky for the board members-- so the chances that the bod will make the right decisions is slim to none

Appletree Mgt successfully manages about 25 communities in the Poconos and heard they offered, for a price, to work with our former attorney in getting 12' wides approved. Now that we have a new attorney she should explore working with them and get the ordinance approved so we can be finally be done with paying an attorney retainer fee. I agree, the board should look into how Eagle Lake is run and consider what Appletree Management has to offer. I only use my property on weekends and maybe a week or two during the summer and would appreciate separate electric meters so I don't have to pay for those retirees who use utilities for 6+ months of the year. Wasn't a CCLA elected to the board? I realize she had to leave the group but it seems to me her loyalty will be to the Community and she'll not agree with unethical BOD decisions. Although she's only one person I'm optomistic things may start to change.
ReplyDeleteWe all bought our property knowing it is available for our use 12 months a year. Stop complaining because you only come up week ends, that's your choice, or sell and go to Eagle Lake since it's so great there.
