Wake up people, where have you been all these years. if you were really worried about our community you would have not voted the same people onto the board over & over again and are the ones responsible for the situation we are now in and you still reelected members who have been on the BOD 14 years, 12 years, 9 years, etc., etc. If you are so unhappy then do not vote them back on or are you too lazy to get out there and do some work. You blame this board for the mistakes of the past . They fired a manager who should have been fired years ago but then why would he get fired when you kept electing the same ones who hired him and got us into the trouble we are now paying for. Do you even realize that you now have board members who care about this community & volunteerd their time to oversee the work that continued on thru the summer & completion of the second phase of electric. Just because there is no property manager the work of the community has gone on. Maybe they want to make sure that the mistakes of the past boards are not continued & are making sure that they find the best qualified person to oversee the continuation of the work that is needed to be done. If you have suggestions instead of complaints why don't you show up at open board meetings or are you too busy enjoying your weekend & letting the rest of us do your work trying to get this community back on track. I am here 25 years & don't believe anyone should serve more than 2 terms on the board so why do the majority of you who vote keep electing the same ones over and over again & then complain that the bod are a bunch of do nothings. Watch who runs for the board this year again, the same ones that did nothing in their terms before and cost us plenty & are looking to get elected again, WHY? Why did the dues go up 100% in thelast 5 years, why was questions never answered when we asked what did they do with the moneies after the mortgage was paid off, why do they want to get more money to pay the loan for the sewers off sooner when so many of us are struggling to pay our bills in this economy why is there so much money in reserves, why do they have the same accounting firm for 10 years, why wasn't there a seperate audit done after the manager was fired lots of questions no answers. ARE YOU ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS OR JUST WHAT TO SIT ON YOUR DECKS COMPLAINING?

You're right, it takes more than showing up at two open board meetings in the summer to get answers. From what I read in the August minutes questions were asked and not many answers were given. At that point it had been only one month in looking for a new manager. It's now almost five months later and there needs to be some plan to get a qualified PM even if it means working around some of the by laws. I think we really need to fill the management vacuum. When questioned about the 12' wide issue several times all that was answered was the ordinance needs to be changed but not what time line was expected or what plan or strategy the new attorney had. At least the previous PM was working the issue, have the acting PM and BOD members taken on the responsibility or is it in limbo until a new PM is hired? In the past I did contact the PM and got some answers but now we have no direct line to any member of management including the BOD and don't know how often they meet as there is no board meeting schedule that I know of published. I think people are asking questions but not getting very many answers.
ReplyDeleteYour comments are correct and right to the point. Not only have the elections been a popularity contest but a way for board nmembers to get work done. ie; electric upgrades, sewer upgrades and repairs, culverts repaired and cleaned out. Look at the location at LA where the aforementioned work was completed and you will find board members properties were included.With 12 wide issues that would have improved the attraction of people to purchase at LA is put on the back burner what do we have to attract young people to buy here, the highest dues of any community in the area!! The board is doing a lot of harm with no manager, spending money like no tomorrow and just doing what's best for them, which was shown at the open board meetings. Other blogs have praised other previous board members but if you examined their performance you would see the same results, working for their own gains. Until a completely new board is in we will continue to be managed like a 10 year old is in charge.
