Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "reply": I think all board members should be part of CCLA..concerned citizens for the good of all of Lake Adventure not just a few close friends.Many people seem to feel that with Gary gone anything that went wrong just dump it on him, well if board members are so innocent join CCLA and help lower our dues instead of attacking. The suggestion that CCLA should take everything directly to the board, were you at the last meeting? Right off the bat, we're cutting the meeting short, guess there was a social event going on, and the look of boredom..Being on the board is a job to serve the good of all. I don't think it should be viewed as a club for fun and profit ..and I also feel anyone who can say prove it if you feel something is wrong, already knows there is something amiss and feels it won't ever come to light. That too is a misconception, as proven by incidents that led to the firing of the property manager. stop with the nonsense about CCLA costing LA money and take a look at the real facts.Mismanagement had to be done with the knowledge of some board members, we have more vehicles in here than a construction company..I could go on but perhaps it would be better for the staunch anti CCLA to look at some of what really has been going on..and guess what, if the dues come down because of the efforts of CCLA..all will profit.not just a few friends and family.I would also like to see a little more honesty with 50/50's funds from ice cream socials, kitchen receipts..what is this no mention at the last dance what the amount of money was, and a board member disappears with another person and the "gate receipts".

anon -- i'm not so sure your the only one that feels this way-- others have expressed similiar concerns-- the relationship between ccla and the la bod needs to be improved -- the only way for that to happen is to have some conversations between the two parties to try to come to some common understanding on how to address each parties interests -- if that doesn't happen then each group will be at each other until something changes -- not good for either party and not good for la community-- but something will happen-- it always does in matters like this

These are some serious allegations and if the community is in such bad shape from mismanagement of money and the CCLA is willing to address the issues then we're lucky there is a group trying to create some checks and balances. "Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely" and if those in charge are not held accountable whether it be for funds or community management we're doomed to stay a second class resort forever.
ReplyDeleteDon't know what lateral replacements are, sewer pipes or something? I thought I heard there was an eight year plan to get everything up to par and we were in year three. I can't comment on the termination of the manager since I don't know what breaches of ethics occured or what part the BOD played but certainly the manager's actions were done with board approval or he would have been out of here much sooner. If it was as bad as is indicated why wasn't the manager prosecuted or sued for restitution?
It's been two months since the new attorney was hired for the 12' wide ordinance. I think an update is in order. We sure don't want to support another attorney for five years of doing nothing. Quick notes to the BOD on a regular basis should be done by all participating in this blog. I've sent a few notes prior to the new attorney and was told any news would be posted on the web site. The only members who even know there is a new attorney or the manager was fired are the ones who attended the open meeting or log on to this site. I'd bet more than half the community doesn't know what's going on. Nothing was on the LA web site about it and now the news page is blank. Only a little blurp on the July meeting minutes saying the manager was terminated but no reason was given. Seems things are spirling out of control.
