ron -- i also think you should be considered for the job -- this discrimination by the bod is wrong on so many levels -- they are passing over people that have a personal interest in seeing that la is properly managed for someone that has no interest in la but the salary -- and from what i hear they aren't offering enough to get anyone near qualified for this job== these bod directors have so many hangups and are paranoid on so many issues that it blinds them to real problems at hand and prevents them from making anything near a reasonable decision--- or they are just stupid-- that is a real possibility
this process they are employing may well blow up in their face and if it does i still am in favor of starting a recall of the entire board -- they are dysfunctional and incompetent --- it is breath taking how simple they can be on what should be straightforward solutions to the problems in front of them--
if a recall isn't necessary ---then others need to step forward and run for the open board seats at the spring election cycle -- it doesn't matter who is removed since they all act in unison and no one on this board stands out on their own--- if they do then let them let the community members know their positions on the issues before this board-- they can do that with this blog or even start their own blog and post their thoughts---- the issue that is used by board members is that any discussion by a bod member that criticize the actions of the board is detrimental to la-- well let me tell them something -- their actions are what's detrimental to the welfare of la-- they aren't advancing or enhancing the community members interests on any level-- they are failure as a board and should be removed before things really go south for this community
so the challenge before this community is
to know what each bod member is doing for the community--
to consider a recall --
to promote new people to run for the board
members need to get involved now -- not later

Let's stop all this talk about property owners being property managers. First off, will you live in LA? No because you can't. Will you travel from your permenant residence to LA every day rain, snow or shine? Unless you live down 739 I doubt it. And if you feel you are so qualified for the job why don't you run for the board or volunter your expertise and business knowledge to make LA a better community. Talk is cheap but actions speak louder than words. If people are so great and know how to make LA a better place GET INVOLVED, get on fact finding groups or relay your input to the board on ideas to correct problems. We all know the board is not comprised of pro's so help them and maybe LA will be a better place. Why do people crawl out of the woodwork when they see $$$$?
anon -- some of us live near la -- i'm 70 mi from la -- 90 minutes -- also where someone lives is not a situation that can be considered in a job review evaluation -- i get paid for my management expertise --i don't give it away--this is an advertised position and anyone has a right to make an application and should be allowed to evaluated on their resume straight
members have a greater interest in seeing la professionally managed than a person off the street -- they have a financial interest In their property value and a good managed community increases the value of that property -- now the la community is being mismanaged and this is not good for any member or their investment---the bod is not interested in getting any ones help -- they want no interaction with members -- if they did they'd be more open and extend a hand to members for help and cooperation -- that doesn't happen now and won't-- this board is very amateurish, unprofessional and are way over their heads-- they couldn't find their way out of a paper bag
TOUGH TIMES !!!!
DO NOT BURN LA 'S CASH !!!!
today the financial crisis continues and the la community and this bod must move forward very carefully -- the credit market has dried up for even those with the best credit ratings-- la would not get credit anywhere in this market -- if something happens and the community needs a large amount of cash they will need to have it on hand -- that brings me to the issue of the surplus that la has in the bank -- this can not be used for operating shortfalls due to member fee defaults if they occur in the near future-- la must have contingency plans to drastically reduce operating costs now -- not later -- this reduction should be implemented now to drive down the expenses for running la---the cash surplus must be saved for a dire emergency-- an emergency on the scale that would shut down la without this expenditure--
it is better to take actions now before it is necessary then to deplete the financial cushion la has in the bank--- this crisis may be the biggest problem la has faced since it was founded-- and quite frankly the biggest crisis in most people's lives unless you were in the great depression---
the bod should not wait-- they should act now!!!!!
