it appears that many members were dissatisfied with the way the recent storm disruption to the operations at la were handled by la management(?) -- i think everyone realizes that the storm was a regional wide event and la couldn't be held responsible for these events BUT -- but -- but
the lack of contingency plans for emergencies was evident -- there appears to be no plan in the event off a community wide shut down of community electric and water supplies -- no generator backups for water well pumps --
no designated facility for emergency shelter in the event of an accident -- a shelter that again should have emergency generator for minimal lighting and heat --
no community support from the office administration -- again the office is closed due to a lack of electric and heat and therefore no one comes to work-- this is unacceptable
today backup generators are available and the pricing while still rather expensive are not out of the realm of possibility -- key areas and services should have backup and the office staff should be on a emergency mode to provide basic services
again there is no plans for emergencies and no contingency to continue la operations when something happens --
there is no qualified management in place and that is not good for the community
the web page is nice but is not informative, relevant or up to date -- again communications is a management function and it is not present at la
this bod is not managing la properly-- as a matter of fact no one is managing la!!!!

During the mild and warm weather months, the majority of non-retired people who go up to Lake Adventure go on the weekends or on their vacations. Retired people might be there anytime between May and October. Off season though, almost ALL people just go up on the weekends. In light of all the problems with the electric, water, the effects of the recent snow storm, and no accessible management either on or off site - wouldn't it be wiser to have some kind of authority present on the WEEKENDS? How can you remain open with no one working? The office is closed Saturday & Sundays, maintenance is only working Saturdays through Thanksgiving, and security is limited in staff and authority. What good is having all this staff work weekdays in the off-season when most people who go to Lake Adventure will be there on the weekends??? This is a catastrophe waiting to happen.
ReplyDeleteThe aformentioned comment is correct in every aspect. What is taking the bod so long in selecting a manager? Are they waiting for a friend to come forward and award him the job? It has been almost 5 months without a manager and even if Gary was as bad as everybody said at least he was a body in place to make decisions, even if most of them were bad,and someone was watching the money, and spending it. What is the reason for not putting someone in place? With the recent storm and all the damage somebody should have been there to try to restore order. Did board members run up there and take charge? We all have our little properties and trailers at stake, for what they're worth, and if mis management causes major electrical, water, or sewer repairs to come forth we will be broke and then what, higher dues? It is a sad thing to say after being up there for over 10 years but I doubt, unless someone takes charge, we will not have another 5.
