This is something to inquire about at the next board meeting. Maybe those directly affected should send a letter or e-mail to Joe Birrell, the Community Compliance Officer and a paid LA employee, prior to the next meeting and request it be publically addressed. Those of us indirectly affected can then weigh in with our dissatisfaction on Aug 16th. I'm sure prospective buyers find the junk as unattractive as we do. Hopefully a new Community Mgr will start cleaning things up. We may have to be patient as the BOD has their hands full with interviewing and replacing the Community Mgr and working with the new attorney on the 12' wide issue. Two important subjects that also need to be addressed at the next meeting.

anon-- i think that there appeared to be some effort to get weeds cut early this spring with a reminder in each weekly flyer -- but that was dropped shortly after it ran a few weekends ergo before the majority of the summer members arrived -- there is no coordinated, consistent, concerted effort to remind members of their responsibilities through print media such as the weekly flyer, the web page or the quarterly adventurer publication to accomplish any particular effort to clean up their properties, remove unlicensed vehicles, remove tarps from trailers, clean up leaves from drainage swales -- it is a miss and hit effort that fails all the time because it is not in front of the members when they're here (weekly flyer), doesn't appear in the adventurer which every member gets (at a high cost to produce and deliver) and is filled with the same boiler plate messages year after year-- the adventurer is a perfect vehicle to set the qualty of life standards that are going to be expected from each member for any program that the bod wants to use to improve la-- a way to introduce a compliance procedures consisting of written notices for non compliance, warnings and finally the leveling of fines for noncompliance and the time frames for each stage of the compliance procedures-- after this type of procedure is executed there should be no member that would have a right to complain that he wasn't aware of the effort at achieving improvement throughout la-- this type of effort must be followed through by the la management team in a even, fair enforcement of the rules without any bias present in the enforcement effort if it is to be successful -- while it is labor intensive and some what expensive at the beginning it should lighten up considerably as it works its way through the members and they realize that the stated quality of life goals will be achieved--- as for those that don't respond positively then the bod should use enhanced, very costly fines and costly liens to get at the members and get them to comply or leave-- some people will find it more advantageous to get out voluntarily or get out by losing their property-- it isn't pleasant situation ... but these uncooperative members have no interest in la or the welfare of the community and should not be here

a little rough? i don't think so

ps-- i don't think the bod will exactly spend a lot of time vetting a new manager-- i think it will amount to a matter of good luck or bad luck and the la membership will have to live with the result -- the 12' wide issue i think is in the hands of new legal counsel-- if this attorney knows what he's doing he'll be up to speed quite fast and with minimal input from the la bod== no excuses are acceptable for not getting these two issues completed for the la members
