I work for one of the top 10 ranking American corporations measured by gross revenue on the Fortune 500 list, as mentioned Fortune 10. My view of the BOD is to manage the assets of the Community, evaluate and select proper management, whether it be an individual with a home grown staff or a mgt company, and insure the financial well being of the Community and owners. Traditionally a BOD provides oversight but is not involved in the day to day operations. If the proper staff is in place they don't need to be. Let's give them and a new Property Manager a chance. Sometimes we may expect too much from BOD given they are not paid positions and they all have primary jobs outside LA. It appears they operate the same as most other BOD's in the RV resort community. Being on call 24/7 is responsibility delegated to the manager and their staff. No, I'm not on the BOD, I don't know anyone on the BOD, I don't work for Eagle Lake, I don't work for the real estate agent, I don't work for LA and I don't work for Appletree Management. I'm a property owner who is willing to give the new BOD some time to get things goin

anon --- all due respects but many members of this bod are incompetent and arrogant -- no matter what -- they are for the most part all absent bod members-- but if you know anything about facility management you'd know that la is not in good shape now or for that matter not for over the last decade or so from some of the most glaring discrepancies here at la -- the infrastructures have been allowed to deteriorate, the services continue to decline and the quality of the lots and housing stock continue to get worse-- i've been here 3 seasons now and there are properties that haven't been cleaned of litter, debris, weeds and leaves for three seasons, the community has construction equipment with a trailer for years and a race car and trailer here for at least 2 seasons--- the activities are down to a pool that operates most of the time, a couple of toddler activities like kids candy bingo and ceramics, adult bingo and a few dances with barely passable music, a couple of movies out nights which no one goes to ( 20 people @ $2/person === $ 40.00 to run a bus 50 mi round trip to go to movies in an era when everyone has a vcr, dvd and cable tv === can't pay for the bus diesel much less the driver), trips that no one goes on and are canceled due to lack of interest except to the casinos in pa and ac --attendants for activities that no one participates in --mini golf which no one uses but has an attendant all season, an activities desk with attendant all season booking trips ( what trips-- the ones no one goes on????)-- the 12' wide issue is all but dead and yes that's not even the issues that expose la to accidents, fines, and lawsuits --- they do have la day the 1 big event -- wow!!! --- a lot of these bod members only visit la on memorial day, 4th, la day,and labor day -- maybe octoberfest -- not much time to understaand what happening at la --

so anon the bod doesn't need a multi-year learning curve -- they don't know what's goin on because they're absent board members or they just don't care -- i think it's mostly the latter- and as far as them not getting paid that comes with the territory and they all fight for and scheme to remain part of the board --- but as a reminder so does the legal resposnibility for la also comes with the directorship- this board is on thin ice and sooner rather than later they will work themselves into a legal mess because of their incompetence- the member's interests are not being taken care of by this board--- we'll see how this all shakes out
