Putting money into renovations for the laundry at this time is irresponsible,there are laundry facilities close by, but then again you have a board member going around telling people he is going to have a new laundry put in. I'm sure this will make a very small group happy and probably get him votes, but where is the money coming from? Is it being pulled from one of the projects in the 8 year plan? P/O's better start checking out the people they are electing to the BOD, the last few got on mainly by canvassing and giving people a line of BS. This place sure isn't being run more efficiently than in the past. WAKE UP LA PROPERTY OWNERS!

anon-- your right there is no way it is justified to be spending a lot of money on a laundry for the few people that used it frequently -- most members don't utilize this service so it should not have money thrown at it to satisfy a few members for their votes and their electioneering they perform at the time to vote for bod members-- these individuals do a lot of electioneering for the bod directors that give them what they want-- this is very much a lot like lobbyist and they do the campaigning for those board members they can manipulate-- but all community members pay for this waste -- where is the money coming from ? -- most likely from the budgets that they are supposed to be used for electrical and lateral improvements-- next open bod meeting we will be told that these projects are progressing but in fact they raid these budgets and divert the labor and equipment for just about any project they can think of-- drainage swales, stoning properties, laundry and who knows what else-- no accounting, no responsibility by this bod -- la needs a strong manager to operate la -- until that happens the members will continue to be fleeced by this bod

for you're information, dues collection has actuall improved this past qtr., delinquent rate has dropped

anon-- that is great and let's hope it continues into the winter and spring BUT since this information is not available to the members no one really knows, except you evidently -- there should be a running account on this aspect of the finances on the la web site-- it should be updated quarterly -- the collection rate of any community is a sign of the communities financial status and health -- then again the bod would probably likes to keep this type of information quiet and secret -- no need to let the membership know about minor issues like this or maybe they're concerned that if the defaults increase they may have to do something-- that would require them to make decisions and god only knows that is difficult for this bod--- i believe that la is experiencing 16% defaults -- that over $ 500,000.00 ( a half mullion dollars) per year that la could be applying to upgrades on the electrics or the lateral project ( opps --SORRY both of these may be ghost projects that aren't being done anyway so why worry about them or the half million?????) so my point is they make no effort to collect the fee defaults now and leave a half million on the table -- i don't really have a lot of faith in them that they will make any effort to change their ways if the members defaults get worse --
