Has anyone heard anything about the hiring of a manager? It seems with the occurance of a surprise, and early, snowstorm the board would've realized the need for one to make decisions on how to handle the situation. Guess they will come up to LA and take care of it themselves.

I couldn't agree more--if it weren't for your blog, property owners wouldn't know ANYTHING that is going on at LA! Everyone should spread the word about it.
The "official" LA website is totally useless. NOTHING is updated. Just look at the photo gallery--pictures from 2006 and 2007? Did we skip 2008 at LA? It's soon time for 2009! Not only is it lacking info for property owners, the LA site is not a very good showcase to prospective buyers who want to find out about LA. Who keeps up this site anyway? Certainly not doing a good job.
For instance, when were the bylaws changed to allow hard top awnings and screen rooms??? I was shocked to read and hear that they are allowed now. Not according to the bylaws which you can find on the LA website!
Also--we pay so-o-o-o much more in dues than Eagle Lake (they were 12 or 1300 last year there) and they seem to have better amenities, better activities, better management in general (www.eaglelakeca.com). Eagle Lake was built by the same developers as LA and is only a few years younger than our camp. I would think they have had to renovate water, sewage and electric at some point also. Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to take Apple Management on board to run LA. My family has been at LA since the late 70's and its management has gone downhill drastically since 2000. I don't know if it's because of the GM or the people we keep electing on the BOD but somethings got to change and real soon. We have to hire a person or a group with PROFESSIONAL community management experience! So what if we hire a company to do the job--at least the job will be done and the right way! You can still have your BOD.

all i ever heard was if you change the board things would be better well so far the board has been changed except for one and he was voted by the bod not to be president just a member of the board AND AS EVERYONE CAN SEE LACA IS FALLING APART WITH THE NEW BOD.
ReplyDeletethree of the old board were not voted in and one was vote to be a member.
there were very involved and were for the community. not for themselves.
they were DONNA GRYZBOWSKY i prob spelled her name wrong but you know who i mean JIM LEOPOLE a lawyer with license in new york and penn.real estate lic. ALLEN PANZER. who was always at the clubhouse to see what was going on and answer questions. TOM ANNUNZIATA who by the way is retired and would not have been considered an absentee bod. he would make sure the board was kept informed with emails every day he may not have been a yes man but of all the bod he cared he would listen may not agree but he was a good president.
Now we have bod following the workers asking questions of them all the time how can they do there work
remember they only have one vote but you have seven people that dont get along where L A C A IS CONCERENED
I DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN BE MEMBERS OF C C L A and be on the board. As far as i know there are 2 bod members that admit they are members of CCLA and someothers that are not as honest as them. As far as i am concerned either you are for the board and work together or they are not.
i hope the people are not suckered in when they vote this year the 150dollars reduction of dues is for only this year and will be going up next year. looks like the bod members are looking for votes.there are several people who are running for the board that are ccla members. who started this anyway who was so bright to feel that they know everything.I never trusted some one that knows everything and what is good for everyone
if you figure out what you as members get for your dues. it is not expensive.
I agree about the LA website. The same info appears weeks after it's outdated and usually it only refers to meeting notices but we never see the meeting notes from the elected board secretary. If the BOD was operating efficiently they wouldn't have to worry about what was posted on this site because they would be supplying us with all the information we needed and we wouldn't have to commiserate on this site. As to a manager, at this point maybe a management company isn't a bad idea but the BOD still makes all the decisions so no matter who manages the BOD will still hold things up. Apple Mgr did get 12 wide approved and maybe they could do the same despite our BOD. We really do need a PM and if they can't find one shortly they they better consider something even if it is a management company. I'm guessing Gary is getting a good laugh out of this. The LA website did make one important update, they changed the following note posted in July to BOLD print - "the 12' wide issue is now in the hands of the new attorney and new info will be posted." Guess that means too many people have been calling for updates and the larger print tells us not to bother them. How about we all send an e-mail to the board president asking for an update on the hiring of a new PM and info on what the new attorney has done so far in meeting with the twsp on the 12' wide issue. We've been paying an attorney for five years so we're certainly entitled to information, that bold print doesn't mean I'm going to stop asking questions. I now have a better understanding why the CCLA came into being!
ReplyDeleteRegarding the LA website: Why doesn't each board member have an email address with a link to it below his or her name on the Board of Directors page? It's been stated that you cannot leave a phone message with the administration office for any of them and writing a letter is too slow a process in emergencies (that's why it's referred to as "snail" mail). They obviously cannot be at LA all the time. What better way for communication, especially when the website is not kept current.
