last year the bod were looking into getting a collection agency to collect member's delinquent past dues
did they?? they've had year --let's hope so -- see if we'll find out -- also if they have--- do they have any numbers indicating that this approach is effective -- like delinquent '07 numbers vs 08 delinquent numbers-- a yes answer will not do and a no is an even worse answer
member's lots being picked up by the association at sheriff's sales for back taxes -- how many are la sitting on --- are they being sold -- if necessary they should be sold at costs to get this inventory back into a dues generating mode -( i'm sure the on site realtor whats no part of this idea -- after all he's got a real sweetheart deal at la -- it favors him but not the members or the association) so i'll be looking for some direction on this issue and see whether the bod and the la management are working for the la community members interest or .........................
THE MEMBERS NEED TO ATTEND THIS OPEN BOARD MEETING IF POSSIBLE --THE CURRENT BOD AND LA MANAGER NEED TO KNOW THAT THE MEMBERS ARE GOING TO CALL THEM IN FOR THE PROBLEMS AT LA -- AND YES THERE ARE PROBLEMS-- but in many cases they only hear a few complaints at this and the other one or two open meetings and then they go about their monkey business as usual -- they get by with minimal input from the members except for those few that almost (wink) never leave and of course are the ones with the most consistent complaints -- that's what they hear and it unfortunately bears heavily on their decisions. this ignores many other member's concerns because as they say "out of sight-- out of mind" --- yet every member of this community is the same and should have the same review and consideration of their concerns and complaints---no member of an association is no more important or less important than the next member -- every one's equal -- (after all this is america).......hmmm -- heard that before
so if you can't attend check back here and i hope to review what was done at the bod board meeting and maybe others will also post their thoughts about what they gathered from this meeting--- together maybe we'll learn something
Note: this is predicated on our ability to hear the meeting proceeding -- considering the crappy sound system they've used in the past ----- more on this topic later

con't open bod meeting
12 wide request
BigBass to me show details 9:14 PM (52 minutes ago) I can't make it to the open meeting this Sat. morning. Would someone mind asking about the status of 12 wides and post a response? It's been almost three months since we've heard anything. Any news on abandon lots and collection agencies recovering back dues?
HI BIG BASS:
THERE IS A LOT OF INTEREST IN THE 12' WIDE ISSUE-- my polls indicate that this is important to a lot of the community--- a recap of some of these polls follows:
past poll results
Q: should la membership be informed as to what dingman township is looking for to approve 12' wide trailers
A: yes --- 106; no --- 1
Q: if the la membership is to be informed what is the best method to do this
A: open is season meeting -- 9; mailing to members--5; both of the above --92
current polls results up to today
Q: what is the most important issue you have with la
A: annual fee ----12; 12' wide issue ---26; quality of life issues -- 36
Q: 12' wide issue is being
A: properly handled --- 3; not properly handled -- 56; dead in the water -- 13
as you can see this is a top identified issue with members and they what to be informed about the progress with dingman township and many feel that this issue is not being properly handled.
the chance for the bod to explain the progress on this issue should be presented at the 5-24 board meeting -- this could be an opportunity to reverse the negative feelings and perception about the handling of this important issue
---whether this will happens remains to be seen -- if the members aren't satisfied with what they hear then they need to let the bod and the la manager know of their dissatisfaction--- otherwise they'll keep their heads buried in the sand and it will die like other attempts at this issue-- the members need to listen carefully ...............

Think of what the community would look like of every owner had junk on the front of their property. Thank goodness the majority of owners are considerate of their neighbors and the community as a whole. And yes, it is my business, that junk brings down the value of MY property..."can't spell"?, how about my five year old constructs better sentences. This guy should be ashamed and embarrassed that note is on public display.

I cannot believe the comment that Roland made about "complaining about what is not your business". This has to be one of the most ludicrous comments I have read in a long while. How can anyone think that they do not have an obligation in the upkeep of their property? It's in the bylaws. If a child wanders unto their property and gets injured guess what, they will be sued. We all have an obligation to keep our sites neat, orderly, and visually pleasing, not only for the potential increase in resale value but to make it a better place that we all enjoy. If you do not have the decency to respect your neighbors, their children, and yourself, you should not be allowed to buy land anywhere in America.
Remember the commercials "Keep America Beautiful". These ran for a reason. You would never see a commercial titled "Mind your own business". Caring about our environment and our neighbors is what makes us human. Rude, uncaring people annoy me, especially the ones that can't spell...
