Hello....My husband and I bought our place at LA three years ago. I just love it there...it's my place of peace and quiet. Due to illness we haven't spent as much time there as I would like. I really hope this year will be different.
I don't claim to know what really is going on at the lake, but, here is my thought. If you are really annoyed about something and you really think something should be done about it why don't you post your name instead of anonymous?
To the BOD, I hope to meet you this year....and, if I have a complaint, I sincerely hope we would work things out.

WELCOME NEW MANAGER

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "CCLA + NEW MANAGER":

According to the BOD minutes, Mr. Warm was interviewed at the November board meeting. They list some of his experience and qualifications in the November minutes and also in the Winter/Spring issue of The Adventurer, which has been mailed out.

Mr. Warm starts his position as Property Manager in April. I think this will be a refreshing, new beginning for the association. Someone with 20 years in the military and his work experience will most likely demonstrate the dedication, work ethic, respect, intelligence and leadership that Lake Adventure needs to get back on track.

We should all welcome him with an open mind -- he's taking over a position that was left as a disaster and things can't change overnight. Let's start this spring with a fresh outlook.

Welcome aboard, Mr. Warm. The property owners look forward to working with you in making Lake Adventure the kind of community it should be and has the potential to be.

CCLA + NEW MANAGER

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "CCLA":

Since I attended every open meeting this past summer and never heard anyone being threatened I'd like to know where anon got his/her info. What I did hear was the BOD President invite the CCLA members to come to the office and request any info they wanted, within reason, and it would be supplied. So far they haven't done that. This site can be very informative, but it can also be a place for too many disgruntled people to spew their own version of what they believe to be taking place at LACA without any regard for investigating facts. Just because someone makes an accusation, doesn't necessarily mean they know what they are talking about.

Seems like a great idea to have CCLA get involved at LA. I remember at a meeting last summer some property owners threatened members of CCLA by stoning them!!!.... Wasn't there a saying about we have nothing to fear but fear itself??? No matter who comes forward something must be done about leadership at LA and if it means to introduce a "watchdog Committe" so be it. Things have been done with no body having to answer to another party so maybe this is a start and let the board ask CCLA to join them on certain issues. The rumor was these members donated money to start and hired a lawyer on their own. Now, that sure sounds like a pro-active approach to finding answers and trying to improve conditions. Bring it on!!! Have CCLA and the board have a joint meeting to find answers, I would also donate funds to that group if it would improve conditions. If the people who threatened the present members would put that anger to a popsitive angle and work to help LA it would make for a better place

Could someone from the CCLA offer some information about the group on this blog or other ways we can find out more about the organization? I think many of us would be interested if we knew more about them: how did the group come about, their goals, membership info, when and where do they meet, are they just interested in the financial matters or every aspect of LA, etc.

Individual complaining down at the office or mailing letters to the BOD does no good – been there, done that, as I’m sure many others have also experienced. There is a power in numbers. Perhaps our concerns that are going unaddressed could be corrected best if we work together as neighbors and as an organized group to resolve these issues. Is the CCLA that kind of group?

anon -- i also would like to hear from ccla members and what their agenda encompasses--i believe that there is a need for members to interact and exchange their thoughts and concerns about la -- i think the fact that they were formed and have people interested in the goals of a group of association members indicates that they have the best intentions for la--they need to become more vocal and i invite them to contribute to this blog and share their thoughts with other members -- the more we interact and the more we develop a consensus of concerns the easier it will be to go to this bod for some face time OR ---- the more we will be able to determine which bod members need to be dropped at election time --- if not before!!!!!!

on the edge by paul krugman

Op-Ed Columnist
On the Edge
By PAUL KRUGMAN
Published: February 5, 2009
A not-so-funny thing happened on the way to economic recovery. Over the last two weeks, what should have been a deadly serious debate about how to save an economy in desperate straits turned, instead, into hackneyed political theater, with Republicans spouting all the old clichés about wasteful government spending and the wonders of tax cuts.

It’s as if the dismal economic failure of the last eight years never happened — yet Democrats have, incredibly, been on the defensive. Even if a major stimulus bill does pass the Senate, there’s a real risk that important parts of the original plan, especially aid to state and local governments, will have been emasculated.

Somehow, Washington has lost any sense of what’s at stake — of the reality that we may well be falling into an economic abyss, and that if we do, it will be very hard to get out again.

It’s hard to exaggerate how much economic trouble we’re in. The crisis began with housing, but the implosion of the Bush-era housing bubble has set economic dominoes falling not just in the United States, but around the world.

Consumers, their wealth decimated and their optimism shattered by collapsing home prices and a sliding stock market, have cut back their spending and sharply increased their saving — a good thing in the long run, but a huge blow to the economy right now. Developers of commercial real estate, watching rents fall and financing costs soar, are slashing their investment plans. Businesses are canceling plans to expand capacity, since they aren’t selling enough to use the capacity they have. And exports, which were one of the U.S. economy’s few areas of strength over the past couple of years, are now plunging as the financial crisis hits our trading partners.

Meanwhile, our main line of defense against recessions — the Federal Reserve’s usual ability to support the economy by cutting interest rates — has already been overrun. The Fed has cut the rates it controls basically to zero, yet the economy is still in free fall.

It’s no wonder, then, that most economic forecasts warn that in the absence of government action we’re headed for a deep, prolonged slump. Some private analysts predict double-digit unemployment. The Congressional Budget Office is slightly more sanguine, but its director, nonetheless, recently warned that “absent a change in fiscal policy ... the shortfall in the nation’s output relative to potential levels will be the largest — in duration and depth — since the Depression of the 1930s.”

Worst of all is the possibility that the economy will, as it did in the ’30s, end up stuck in a prolonged deflationary trap.

We’re already closer to outright deflation than at any point since the Great Depression. In particular, the private sector is experiencing widespread wage cuts for the first time since the 1930s, and there will be much more of that if the economy continues to weaken.

As the great American economist Irving Fisher pointed out almost 80 years ago, deflation, once started, tends to feed on itself. As dollar incomes fall in the face of a depressed economy, the burden of debt becomes harder to bear, while the expectation of further price declines discourages investment spending. These effects of deflation depress the economy further, which leads to more deflation, and so on.

And deflationary traps can go on for a long time. Japan experienced a “lost decade” of deflation and stagnation in the 1990s — and the only thing that let Japan escape from its trap was a global boom that boosted the nation’s exports. Who will rescue America from a similar trap now that the whole world is slumping at the same time?

Would the Obama economic plan, if enacted, ensure that America won’t have its own lost decade? Not necessarily: a number of economists, myself included, think the plan falls short and should be substantially bigger. But the Obama plan would certainly improve our odds. And that’s why the efforts of Republicans to make the plan smaller and less effective — to turn it into little more than another round of Bush-style tax cuts — are so destructive.

So what should Mr. Obama do? Count me among those who think that the president made a big mistake in his initial approach, that his attempts to transcend partisanship ended up empowering politicians who take their marching orders from Rush Limbaugh. What matters now, however, is what he does next.

It’s time for Mr. Obama to go on the offensive. Above all, he must not shy away from pointing out that those who stand in the way of his plan, in the name of a discredited economic philosophy, are putting the nation’s future at risk. The American economy is on the edge of catastrophe, and much of the Republican Party is trying to push it over that edge.

I don't think this is the first time owners have been upset by the board, it's just until recently we didn't have a place to express our frustration and realize so many others felt the same way. I didn't want to be the only one to complain to the manager or BOD. Now I realize there is the CCLA and a whole group of members who want responsible leadership and accountability for our finances and why a manager was let go without a candidate for the position in the pipeline. While I'm dissatisfied with the way some things are going I still enjoy my time here with the family. My hopes are dashed for getting a 12' wide but I'm not considering selling. I'd rather try to make some sort of contribution to making the place better. This season we all need to make trips to the office and express our concern in writing and continue to pressure the BOD for tangible improvements.

The BOD is not set up to handle responses to member letters regarding day to day complaints and problems. The first line of defense, i.e., the property manager, should be the one taking on that responsibility. He/she then handles it. If it's something he's not authorized to decide they then turn it over to the BOD. The BOD meets 10 days a year, what about the other 355? We need a property manager on site. There are a lot of projects on hold because there is no one at the helm. I also agree with a comment, our sister communities are thankful this isn't going on at their place. We need to have secure access to the finances and board minutes, this info is just more fodder for the twsp to use against us. They read we have a manhole problem, don't be surprised if they'll be in here doing an inspection and issuing citations for who knows what. I've not received resonses to letters I've written lately (but did when we had a PM) but have gotten relevant information when calling the Office. We owe these ladies (and gentlemen?)a lot for keeping things in order while the place is essentially unmanaged.

I suggested the secure login on the website. It doesn't do any good to write letters to the BOD -- at least that's been my experience. I wrote to them in October regarding another matter that required an answer and they never responded. And I know they received the letter

anon ---- yes i have sent a letter to the bod president and he didn't even bother to reply --- communication is not something this bod is interested into getting involved with and probably don't even have a procedure to handle communication between the members, the office staff and the bod members--- i resorted to a registered letter to be sure they received my letter -- they got it and called me-- i should feel lucky and privileged

the community bod wants as little as possible exposure to the members and don't really care what your concerns or needs may be--- they have little to no time for this ----i guess you can keep trying and maybe they will get with the program -- BUT I DOUBT THAT WILL HAPPEN-- good luck and keep me posted ---- chipper

All the comments flying around about the public domain of the minutes not being password access protected is a mind blowing issue. Where does any board, or employer divulge threats issued to emplyees about tasks to be performed or your job is on the line!! This sounds like another example of Bullie type management which doesn't work in this day and age. The parties being threatened have a lot of resources for legal advice against their employers then in the past and there are a slew of lawyers that would jump on a case such as that. Plus, asking a job applicant why he passes remarks in an open blog format!!! Do the members of the board know of the first ammend. This is really turning into a joke with any body and their brother knowing whats gouing on at LA and I bet our sister communities are laughing at us. With posting our dues the other communities are only paying a third of what we pay with only two others paying over $1k!!! If property owners don't start doing something by either recalling the past two elections or requesting this board resign kiss your property goodbye. If someone told me when we purchased a short time ago this is what is going on here I never would have purchased, now, I probably could not get a buyer at any price because who would want to waste money on the place?? Our dues will go up, because the board seems to regulate that as they need money, and no one can afford it!!!...If outsiders ask me what I think of LA I would have to be honest and say stay away, or try to sell them my lot. Anybody looking for a lakeview property??

anon -- i agree with you that the approach by this bod is rather disturbing (some members of the bod are good representatives for the members === BUT THEY ALL STICK TOGETHER AND THEREFORE MAY HANG TOGETHER ) -- they seem to feel that they can operate and do what they want as long as the members don't find out and they don't get caught ( like a lawsuit or other legal action )but sooner or later the members may be faced with a settlement, fine, financial disaster, or any number of other legal or financial entrapment-- this could be the affects from having a bod that is arrogant, incompetent, inexperienced in management principles, tends to operate on the fringes of rules and regulations that all are responsible for maintaining and abiding with in order to do business in this day and age--

--the members are not informed and most don't know what's going on with the management of la-- this is a task that i hope will be addressed with this blog-- more members need to participate and register their concerns and problems with the way this bod is running their community-- word needs to get out to your neighbors and friends in the community to join in -- after all i post all comments -- good or bad, pro or con on any subject-- again my emails are lachipper@gmail.com or ubfriend@aol.com

hopefully this season more members will join in -- informed members will then be able to determine the future of la instead of letting a few members of bod to run amok-- let's see what happens--

I think you got the wrong impression as to what a secure ID is used for. I don't believe our finances should not be floating around the Internet. Publicizing certain information may compromise the successful outcome of projects especially with the township. No one is suggesting the board is participating in covert and illegal operations and that it should be covered up. There is a reason Eagle Lake and other communities have a secure site, so no one sees their laundry. For instances, if some are late with dues and it's comes up during a board meeting there is no need to publically embarrass people by putting it in the minutes and then on the website. There needs to be some ethical discretion in what is published on a non-secure website vs what can be displayed on a secure site. A secure site should eliminate secrecy not promote it as you suggest.

anon -- your right on the individual financial data needs to be confidential and should be, all member data is highly confidential-- there is never an excuse to dissiminate this type of info just as the personnel files are off limits -no community member should have access to any of type of information just because he is a member -- knowledge of this information doesn't accomplish anything in a members ability to understand the la operations-- you have a right to understand the overall view of these catagories such as how many members are in default, what is the cost for labor for each employee segment--- but there is never a need for or should be allowed the individuals details -- i thought most people understood that managers or directors would never divulge this type of data-- i guess i may be wrong---

-- chipper

secretive bod

the bod meeting minutes should reflect what the bod is discussing in regards to the community business -- if the bod is engaged in any actions or conversations that are they not able to be discussed in public then they are on a slippery slope AND SHOULD NOT ENGAGE IN THIS ACTIVITY -- the community business should never have to be done in secrecy except in closed sessions to discuss personnel matters ( IRONICALLY THEY HAVE NO PROBLEM PUBLICLY THREATENING WORKERS FOR NOT PERFORMING UP TO THEIR PERCEIVED STANDARDS OR PERCEPTION OF THE WORK ACCOMPLISHED EVEN THOUGH THEY AREN'T DIRECTLY SUPERVISING NOR MANAGING THESE WORKERS-- this could lead them to some real labor problems )

as a member i would not want nor expect nor condone the bod to engage in any activity or discussion that can be illegal or inappropriate or need to be done secretly--- openness is the best way to stay out of trouble with everyone including the community members--- if this bod feels it needs secrecy then it's time they get off the board before la gets into a legal mess

I like both ideas. A secure website is really needed, there is no reason why any and everyone including the township should be able to access LA's financial info as well as board meeting minutes. The ID could be any naming convention such as your last name and address:
SmithCreekview. This could develop into an administrative nightmare given the large number of property owners.The ID could be the same for everyone as long as it's kept safe. Does anyone know someone at Eagle Lake? How is their's set up? Being able to pay dues online might take some time to set up but once activated it would save the Office time in the long run. Getting e-mail updates is another great idea,inexpensive and fast. Those who are not interested don't have to respond with an ID. However, if there is a secure website there wouldn't be a need for e-mail but it would be a quick fix until a secure site could be set up. These are two good ideas that should be submitted to the board for official consideration.
Either one of the idea people willing to send a letter?

Another way to keep members informed: take a look at the Eagle Lake website. Property owners have to register and log in to pay their dues. LA should also set up a secure section on their website that owners would have to log into. This could be used for sensitive material to be shared by property owners only. Ability to pay dues online might also help to improve delinquency payment situations.

anon -- development of a member email list would be a cheap way for the manager or the bod to inform members of various happenings in the community -- everything from rule implementations, rules enforcement programs, activity schedules and highlights, general community news items, action notices such as electrical and lateral upgrade schedules and etc and etc-- the possibilities just goes on and on --this would be a way to save money for postage by sending out the adventurer via email and allow for greater communication for some of the above sample actions.--- all companies and organizations have developed and maintain email lists for employees and customers and use them effectively-- now can this bod see the advantage of this type of program???? i doubt it!!!!! based on their past actions they aren't very good at managing organizations and handling the details of this community--nor do they have a strong interest in letting the members know anything that is happening with la's business-- this bod is of the mushroom school of thought " that if we keep them in that dark and feed them crap" we'll be a lot better off!!!

I log in frequently and voice opinions but don't think this is the appropriate forum for the BOD to reply. It would get into a war of words and the response of one member may not be the concensus of the whole board. I'm happy we have a place to share information and I'm sure by now the board has a good idea of where we're coming from and has gotten some good information and possibly some good ideas. I think for the most part they (BOD) may be operating for the good of the community but need a way to share information with us especially during the off season. I realize for security purposes not all relevant information can be posted in the meeting minutes but we as paying members have a need to know. How about LA taking the initative of setting up a group e-mail ID for those of us who are plugged in and would like updates on a regular basis? The initial cost would be the time to send out a letter requesting e-mail ID information (it could go with the mailing of the Adventurer) and the time to set up the ID. Hate to assign more work to Cheryl but she seems to be computer savy and could do it easily, a one time shot. Then all she would have to do (or anyone else in the office) is type up sensitive information that can't be displayed on the website and shoot it off. Would sure make me happy. Of course there are a lot of retirees who probably don't use a computer but as the demographic changes more and more owners will be online so we'd be keeping up with technology. The fact there is now wifi onsite indicates management is aware how many of us rely on computer communication.

The cold weather is wreaking havoc on many old water lines so this problem is not unique to LA. Several towns in my area are having the same problems and we're not in the mountains. What year are we (LA) in regarding the 8 yr plan and how many more years until the electrical and water lines will be done? We may complain about the problem but at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Too bad the BODs 10-12 years ago didn't start planning for this sooner. Until these two major (time and $$$) projects are completed not much will get a priority, rightfully so I guess.

I am not a frequent reader of Chipper, as a matter of fact today was the first time, but it is really something how people remark about the board and how they are running things and NOT ONE BOARD MEMBER RESPONDS!!! i have been in business for many years and cannot believe that someone doesn't try to defend themselves or their actions. From what I can assume from the blogs Lake Adventure is headed for disaster with all the problems and in fighting and with our present economy how many property owners will pay their dues before their car payments which will spell financial ruin with no dues. People request new blood on the board but no one steps forward and the same people stay on for years and do not improve their actions or ideas so how can we improve!!! It looks like change must happen with the board, as has been suggested, resign and have a fact finding group organize and try to salvage what's left. People mention CCLA, who are they ? Maybe this group of people can accomplish something because the board doesn't seem to be able to. The eight year plan with no dues or a low percentage of dues is going to destroy the structure of LA financially and it will never regain. Property owners better come forth!!!

anon -- thanks for your comment and hope you check out the blog on a regular basis and contribute your thoughts in the future -- your right a lot of things are wrong with la and this bod is clueless or are just unable to run la -- la needs a qualified experienced professional manager to run la ---this bod can not do this because they don't have the management experience or the time necessary to dedicate to the community's needs--hell they actually have no qualifications to be sitting on a bod -- election to the bod is a beauty (hee! hee!) contest and not based on factors that would benefit the community--- that is why la is heading downward and will soon may well be is real trouble financially with the current economic conditions in the country-- but again this is a concept that is beyond this bod -- oh well!!! members better wake up!!!!!!!!!!!

Your comments about the board being the problem and not Gary seem to be right on!! In all due respect Gary could do nothing without the board approval and with the bullies on the board how would you respond in his shoes??? No matter if a manager and compliance officer are hired they will only be granted the authority given them by the board so unless we have a new board, and not former members who have enough friends to elect them, nothing will change. All the board members got their up grades in sewer, electric etc so why don't they just resign!!!

As Chipper has said all along, nothing will change if all we do is write about it here. I've written numerous letters since last spring while Gary was still here and have not gotten a response to one of them since Gary left. Maybe Gary wasn't the problem as the board would have us believe,maybe they're the problem and have been all along. We all need to start making weekly calls to LA so Cheryl can let the Board know how dissatisfied we are. If we don't get any information we need to start calling the attorney so she can let the board know we want information. Even if all you get when you call is "there is no new information" ask about specific items. "I'm calling about the status of the 12' wide ordinance and what steps the attorney has taken since being hired seven months ago?". "I'd like to know why a property manager has not been hired?" "Who is prioritizing the work, the vacation and over time schedules? Who has taken on the compliance work? Who is responding to the township/DEP regarding ordinances? Who is signing paychecks and validating project compliance?" I'm sure all are doing their own particular job well but we need an overseer who has a grasp of the whole community. I'd hate to resort to calling the board members at home but if we don't start getting information and answers we may have to resort to that. These people voluntered to run for office and they may be doing a decent job but they are not releasing any information so we can only surmise the worst. Relaying information via the timely publishing of board meeting minutes (were there meetings in Oct and Nov?)and current updates on the LA website would go a long way to squelch rumors.

anon -- your right in all cases -- this bod is not providing any management of la's affairs -- this bod needs members replaced starting with the next election -- also we need NEW members to run for the bod -- see if you can talk to your friends and neighbors in the community and maybe we can recruit new people to run -- ps no experience needed--- after all this board has shown it has no talent to run this community!!!

It is really time to do something about this board and their dragging their feet on matters that concern everyone who owns at LA and pays dues like hiring a manager. Sure a manager couldn't stop a water break but he would've been there to supervise the work. This is starting to look like we are doomed on anything positive coming to LA and we can thank this and the previous board for the state we are in. Don't post blogs on how great past board members were about attending township meetings what did they accomplish?? As far as 12 wides we can forget it because with the infrastructure in shambles they will NEVER grant us the change so just prepare yourself for the place to go down or as i am sell!
