The President Berkey has a place to answer he did right in your Adventurer -duh - did you bother to read it- he does all the talking - just like former President's by screaming & demanding his way or the highway - If he would have answered the questions of where's the money then he wouldn't or I should say we wouldn't be paying for this overpriced lawyer - Bet CCLA didn't pay nowhere near what she is costing us. How about CCLA tell us how much they paid to their lawyer. LACA's lawyer will drag this out just like she is doing with the township to make the big bucks. Do you know of any lawyers who don't. How much has she charged so far for what she has done nothing and accomplished nothing with the township? another winner like the former lawyer the old board kept paying for what 6/7 years who managed to really screw everything up. The township must be as happy as clams to see us wasting our money.

Hot topics today! The current board didn't turn "this beautiful community into a hell hole" since last summer, we've been in a downward spiral for years and anyone who has been here for a while knows that. A new PM isn't going to turn this place around overnight, it will take a year or two for him to get things on track as there are MAJOR long term projects that need attention. Overwhelming him with complaints and accusations of board members may just make him abandon ship. The new PM, who by the way has some impressive credentials, has a thin line to walk to gain the trust of property owners and the approval of board members. I believe I will give the new team (PM and BOD) some time to get used to each other's style of management, a chance to improve the community and the opprotunity to work on property owner/management relations. I'm optimistic this will be a better year at Lake Adventure.

Many complain they don't know where the money goes, well you now know where $9,000 is going. The BOD and President continually have their integrity questioned on this site yet don't have a place to respond. I try to be open minded and I'm happy to learn there are two sides to the story and the opinions on this site are not always the right ones. Our community is no different than any other with a management board. There would surely be chaos if there was no hierarchy in control. Like it or not we need management. Last election only about 20% of the owners voted suggesting apathy on our part. Blowing off steam on this site won't help unless we campaign to get the rest of the property owners interested in the future of the community.

STILL UNHAPPY IN LA !!!

The community is in disrepair and has been for years. I'm not a construction engineer but my take is the community was not constructed with the highest quality equipment to begin with. If previous boards dealt with the repairs on an ongoing basis we wouldn't be in this mess. There are a lot of vague yet serious accusations made about the current board that has been in place less than a year. What bids have been given to family and friends in this short amount of time? What loans are at the highest interest rates and for the amounts we need we can we get lower rates that will offset any penalties? What decisions have been made to benefit only a few? We need new electric and water systems, how do you suggest we pay for them if not with dues? We have a limited season for making upgrades and the whole community cannot get upgraded in 6 months especially when the park is full of people in prime construction time. The budget is online. If anyone can get better prices and bids they should run for the board on this platform or at least provide the board with that information. If you can give specifics and prove your statements we all need to be aware of this misconduct. We should then consider taking appropriate steps to impeach specific board members

Could someone please list who is up for re-election, so that we know who we should NOT vote for?

Anyone planning to run for Board should start introducing themselves on this blog. Let everyone become familiar with your views on how LA should be run and what changes you would strive to make well before the coming election. The more we know about a candidate, the better the chances are that property owners will remember his/her name when they are checking off the ballot.

Well... someone has the b____s to stand up against the ruling few of Lake Adventure. The Board president did a fine job in the Adventurer of turning neighbor against neighbor and am glad someone, other then myself and a few others,realize what he has accomplished. To single an individual out because he would use his name to find out where the money is going is like s dictator in other countries, where is our American pride. If there are any pay-backs towards this individual does the board understand they will be liable and if not ask your great lawyer, who has done nothing for us, what she thinks. If there were not a lots of cans of worms abounding in Lake Adventure Berkey's letter will sure as hell stir up more. This boards few members that are trying to turn things around better take the prez to task before we have a revolution in the summer.The party who made the statement that it is time for new blood on the board instead of the same few hit the nail on the head!!!.... The new manager is going to have his hands full answering property owners questions this summer and can thank the board members who turned this beautiful community into a hell hole!!!!

As usual Mr. Berkey has decided that he should again incite property owner against property owner to get his own way and go the way of former board presidents who would make rules to benefit the few not the many, themselves, their friends, their family. Who cares if bids are not gotten for jobs, who cares if you don't have the right to vote on dues increases, who cares if they keep taking out mortgages at the highest rates or keep managers who ignore you the property owner asking where is the MONEY? Over 100% increase in dues in 5 years, who made money on contracts given to his friends, did he get kick backs, does the roof still leak on the clubhouse, don't you all like how wonderful the community looks. In the past this was a community that we were proud of what has happened to all the money collected where did it go. No answers from Mr.Berkey or other former board members who served for 3, 4, 5 year terms. His answer is to accuse property owners who only wanted answers to the question WHAT DID THEY DO WITH ALL THE MONEY? If answers were givin at open board meetings maybe there would not have been a need to form a committee to try & get the answers. What has happened to your right to vote on any major increase to your dues are you willing to let 7 people make the choice for you to raise the dues till you have no choice but to sell because you can no longer afford to keep your Lot? Your fellow members are only asking the questions that others are afraid to ask because then Mr Berkey can harass & incite others to do the same to you.

HERE WE GO AGAIN, INSTEAD OF TRYING TO BRING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER BY POINTING OUT HOW MUCH HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED BY GETTING RID OF THE FORMER MANAGER & HOW MUCH MONEY HAS BEEN SAVED (IF ANY) SINCE HE IS NO LONGER HERE WHY WOULD WE EXPECT THIS BOARD PRESIDENT TO BE ANY DIFFERENT THAN THE FORMER TYRANTS THAT WE ELECTED TO SERVE AFTER ALL EASIER TO PICK ON THOSE WHO HAVE WORKED HARD TO GET ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS THAT EVERY PROPERTY OWNER HAS THE RIGHT TO AND TRY AGAIN TO INCITE OWNER AGAINST OWNER - THIS WAY HE DOESN'T HAVE TO ANSWER WHY YOU DON'T HAVE TO RIGHT TO VOTE ON YOUR DUES INCREASES OR WHY THEY CAN CHARGE YOU FOR SERVICES THAT YOU ALREADY PAY FOR IN YOUR DUES LIKE SUPPLY YOU WITH WATER WHEN YOUR HYDRANT NO LONGER WORKS. LETS SEE A NEW HYDRANT COST WHAT $50/75 AND THEY WERE CHARGING UP TO $1000 TO REPLACE /MATERIAL & LABOR? ISN'T THAT WHAT YOUR DUES ARE SUPPOSED TO INCLUDE MR. PRESIDENT. OH BY THE WAY THAT IS WHAT CCLA WAS ASKING. WHERE DID THE EXTRA MONEY GO THAT WAS OVERCHARGED?


ANON -- THE COSTS FOR HYDRANT REPLACEMENT IS VERY HIGH --- I'M NOT SURE IT IS JUSTIFIED AND SHOULD BE REVIEWED BY THE ENTIRE BOD --- YES YOU ARE A MEMBER OF A COMMUNITY THAT CLAIMS TO HAVE PUBLIC UTILITIES, ELECTRIC, WATER AND SEWER ( THE SIGN OUT ON 739 SAYS SO AND THAT MUST BE GOSPEL ) AND THEREFORE THE COMMUNITY SHOULD SHOULDER THE COST OF OPERATING AND MAINTAINING THESE SYSTEMS -- YOUR DUES SHOULD COVER THIS INSTEAD OF THE WASTEFUL PROJECTS THIS BOD EMBARKS ON EVERY SEASON -- (OVERPRICED BIDS FOR LATERAL REPLACEMENTS, ELECTRICAL GRID UPGRADES AND SOON LAUNDRY FACILITIES FOR THE SATISFACTION OF A FEW NESTERS THAT ALMOST (WINK WINK) NEVER LEAVE LA, MISAPPROPRIATION AND MISMANAGEMENT OF LA ASSETS OF LABOR AND EQUIPMENT (USING THEM FOR GRAVEL WORK AMONG OTHER THINGS)

THEY'RE MANY THINGS THAT THIS BOD IS INVOLVED IN AND NOT ALL ARE FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMMUNITY--- NEW PEOPLE NEED TO RUN FOR BOD SEATS -- PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T SAT ON THE BOD BEFORE SO THAT NEW EYES CAN OVERSEE AND DIRECT LA AND THE NEW MANANGER-- IF NOT THIS BOD WILL CORRUPT THE NEW MANAGER BEFORE THE FIRST SEASON IS OVER!!!!!
