12' wide issue won't happen !!!!!!!!

THE TONE OF THIS LETTER SUGGESTS THAT THE 12' WIDE ISSUE WITH THE TOWNSHIP IS IN TROUBLE OR DOA!!!! --

LA MUST UPGRADE THEIR INFRASTRUCTURES FOR ELECTRIC, WATER AND SEWAGE--

AT THE RATE THAT THIS BOD IS PROCEEDING WITH THESE UPGRADES IT WILL BE 10 YEARS OR MORE BEFORE THEY COULD POSSIBLY UPGRADE THESE SYSTEMS-- THEY ARE SCREWING AROUND WITH THESE PROJECTS AND NOT MAKING ANY PROGRESS AT ALL --

I'D LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY PROPERTIES HAVE HAD ELECTRICAL UPGRADES, LATERAL UPGRADES AND IN WHAT TIME FRAME AND AT WHAT COST PER PROPERTY-- THEY PROBABLY DON'T EVEN KNOW - I'D BET THAT THE COST PER PROPERTY IS MORE THAN MOST PROPERTIES ARE WORTH

THEY HAVE CONTRACTORS THAT ARE RIPPING OFF THE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION BUT THEY STILL DO BUSINESS WITH THEM -- I WONDER WHETHER THESE CONTRACTS ARE EVEN PUT UP FOR LEGITIMATE BIDS WITH REPUTABLE CONTRACTORS OR ARE WE USING SOME ONE'S FRIEND???

THIS BOD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING THESE UPGRADES DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER AND AT AT DECENT RATE--

ELECTRICAL UPGRADES SHOULD BE 200 PER YEAR WITH A GOAL OF COMPLETING THE COMPLEX IN LESS THAT 10 YEARS-- THEY ARE NOWHERE NEAR THAT GOAL

LATERAL UPGRADES AND SEWAGE MUST ALSO BE DONE SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE ELECTRICAL WORK

SO YOU CAN SOON SEE THAT THIS BOD ISN'T DOING IT'S JOB AND THE UPGRADES AREN'T AMOUNTING TO ANYTHING -

UNLESS THERE IS SERIOUS EFFORT MADE TO UPGRADE THESE SYSTEMS WITH CONTRACTORS THAT CAN DO THE WORK, COSTS CAN BE CONTROLLED AND THE MEMBERSHIP WILL PAY THE BILL THE 12' WIDE ISSUE IS NOT A LIKELY SITUATION FOR LA

BUT EVEN WITHOUT THE 12' WIDE ISSUE ON THE TABLE THESE PROJECTS NEED TO BE DONE OR SOMEDAY LA WILL BE CHAINED SHUT FOR VIOLATIONS OF ONE TYPE OR ANOTHER, FINES OR JUDGEMENTS AGAINST THE COMMUNITY

SO THE BOD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM -- LET'S SEE IF THEY CAN DO ANYTHING

http://www.condolawyers.com/articles/robert.htm. Lawyers interpretation of Roberts Rules as they pertain to homeowner associations. I couldn't find anything on the Internet that mandates associations in PA must adopt this format. I'm from Missouri, Please Show Me a PA gov website that says we must by law adhere to these guidelines. All I could find is that following the guidelines are voluntary and could be adopted in the association bylaws.
Robert's Rules of Order, the recognized guide to running meetings and conferences effectively and fairly, as advertised on their website.

Joe Birrell's explanation makes sense to me but the reason that section was done first wasn't made very public or there wouldn't be such an uproar on this site. It seems to me that based on comments here if section 5 was done first people in sections 1,2,3 & 4 would complain. If section 4 was done first those in 1,2,3 & 5 would find a reason to complain. You can please some of the people some of the time but you can't please all of the people all of the time.

Sounds like this was written by Lenny or Marietta themselves, or one of their infamous friends. They're good for taking all the credit for things getting done, except that it has all been in the works long before they got involved.

If an obituary page is going to be posted, it should at least be updated with guidelines. Some information about the people would be nice. Without the details the page is meaningless. In my opinion the page should come down or do it right. By the way, I have checked a few other lake communities in the area and not one has an obituary page.

Perhaps the web admin for the site can post more info about events, pictures, etc. From a marketing perspective the focus should be on LA and how great it is for families.

Does anyone think the obituary page turns people away?

Just my 2 cents. Have a nice day. :)

I SURE DON'T WANT TO VOTE ON THE DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS THAT IS WHY WE PAY BIG BUCKS TO PROPERTY MANAGERS, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THAT GIVES THEM LICENCE TO SC--W US . I JUST WANT TO VOTE ON THE PROPSED BUDGET THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE PRESENTED AT AN OPEN SPECIAL MEETING TO PRESENT THE BUDGET PREPARED BY THE BOD & THEN VOTED ON YES OR NO BY A MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE PRESENT WHETHER TO ACCEPT OR DECLINE JUST AS YOU DO ON YOUR SCHOOL BUDGETS. THAT RIGHT FOR THE LAST 3 BUDGETS HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY BY THE BOD. THAT IS WHAT CCLA TOOK THEM TO TASK FOR. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM & WHY IS PAST & PRESENT BOARD PAYING A LAWYER TO TAKE AWAY YOUR RIGHTS. CAN IT BE THAT THERE IS NOT AN UNANIMOUS VOTE ON THIS ISSUE & THE 2 MEMBERS MR. BERKEY TRIED TO TAR IN HIS INFUMOUS LETTER VOTING TO KEEP YOUR RIGHTS? WHY NOT ASK WHEN THERE IS A MEET THE CANDIDATES NIGHT OR AT AN OPEN BOARD MEETING? ASK EVERY CANDIDATE IF HE THINKS PROPERTY OWNERS HAVE NO RIGHT TO VOTE ON THESE ENORMOUS INCREASES OR WILL HE ALSO WANT TO BE AGAINST YOUR RIGHT AS AN OWNER TO VOTE

It was good to read something from an owner who makes sense as oppose to the friend of the board president who only wants to ignore the fact that former board presidents & board members have run Lake Adventure like their private kingdom with the lowly servants having no rights to republish that ridiculous letter he wrote condemning CCLA when he is spending money on the lawyer to fight against property owners right to vote on the budgets and wants to make it only right for 7 elected members to decide on much dues are for 1749 lots.
That was Lenny Masucci, board member you saw who has a reputation of helping property owners when they can't get the help from our maintence to perform work they get paid to do and there is only 1 woman on the board the one elected last year Marietta Richard who I and many others saw on job sites & working in office after Gary was fired. Understand that she volunteered to oversee work that was needed until a property manager was going to be hired. All I know is that I didn't see those two board members sitting at the pool enjoying themselves like our esteemed Pres. & Treasurer, Ed Rohs. I guess you know who I am voting for if they are running. I am anonymous because I don't want Mr. Berkey blaming me for his mistakes.

CALL THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE FOR CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY WILL TELL YOU THAT ASSOCIATIONS SUCH AS OURS BY PA LAW MUST BE RUN UNDER ROBERTS RULES OR GO TO A LIBRARY OR INTERNET AND LOOK IT UP.
AS TO THE QUESTION OF WHERE IS THE ELECTRIC BEING UPGRADED I STOPPED & ASKED WHEN I SAW THEM INSTALLING IT IN FALL & WAS TOLD BY JOE BIRREL, COMPLIANCE OFFICER FOR LA THAT THE WORK WAS NOW BEING DONE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PARK BECAUSE THAT IS THE OLDEST SECTION & FIRST SECTION PUT IN IN 1976 AND WOULD CONTINUE BEING INSTALLED SO THAT OLDEST SECTIONS WOULD GET UPGRADED & THAT THIS WOULD IMPROVE THE OTHER AREAS AS WORK PROGRESSED. THIS CERTAINLY MADE SENSE TO ME RATHER THAT GOING TO MAYBE PERFERED AREAS WHERE BOARD MEMBERS HAVE THEIR LOTS. MAYBE WE FINALLY HAVE SOME MEMBERS THINKING OR HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE THAN THOSE WHO SERVED ON BOARD BEFORE. FROM WHAT I HEARD FROM OTHERS THE FIRST SECTION THAT WAS DONE ALL THE WAY IN BACK OF PARK WAS DONE BECAUSE 3 BOARD MEMBERS HAVE LOTS BACK THERE & PM KNEW WHERE HIS BREAD WAS BUTTERED, YOU THINK?
