DOG TIRED -- A PUPPY SLEEPS UNDER A SOLDIER'S HAT

staffing

yes the staffing at la is questionable and the bod and past management and bod allow this community to be staffed full time year round-- this is mismanagement of the assoc funds --

la is a seasonal community with 95% of the members arriving between mid may thru labor day-- approx 12 weeks but we have full time staffing year round --- WHY????--why do we pay for 40 weeks of ft staffing when they have no work load??? because the bod and past management don't have any incentive to save money and no one wants to make the tough decisions-- the members allow this to continue and until they say stop-- it will go on

with the tough financial situation at hand i believe the defaults on dues will greatly increase and then the bod will dip into the la reserve (a small reserve that won't go far when the cash stops flowing)-- now the credit markets are so tight gm, ford, chrysler can't raise or borrow money -- what chance do you think la will get a loan to carry it over a rough patch---NONE--yet the bod allows mismanagement of la funds

back to staffing -- yes in the winter m-f you have several ft people working in the office -- can someone tell me what they could possibly be doing -- l have worked 40 years in facility management positions and i can tell you there is not enough work to justify operating with this staffing level-- they are there because they're there and tradition is this is how la does things-- well someone better wise up because the rooster will come home to roost and when la is chained shut at the gate it will be too late-- this bod is again unable to manage la finances, assets, employees, or just about anything else -- they need to hire a capable manager, get the hell out of the way and let la be properly operated-- then they can run for the bod and tell the members what a great job they're doing for the members and get reelected forever

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.
