Liberty Center to Reopen with Gala
Celebrating
Celebrating
The Art of Financial
Waste
If you haven't heard by now, the Liberty Center is going to have a..
Grand
Reopening
It's scheduled for
Saturday, December 10th at 11:00am
According to the latest bulletin, even "light refreshments" are being served!
And... they're even going to have a
.....
Now it's time to...
TAKE
OFF...
Who in the world thinks about having a party after a major blunder ?
I
know...
... a General Manager who
is getting an additional TWENTY GRAND on top of a
QUARTER OF A MILLION BUCKS, with the blessing of seven individuals who agreed to it
!
... and...the decision
seems to have been made BEHIND CLOSED DOORS without what we believe is the LEGAL REQUIREMENT of having to make this known
and voted on in an OPEN
MEETING !
It seems that all of them
might need a reminder....
...that a board CANNOT authorize the expenditure of association funds under
CLOSED DOOR circumstances unless there is
an....
...and if someone out there would like to explain just how this in any way, constitutes an emergency...
...please let us know
!
Believe me, I'm glad the
place is going to re-open.
All of us have been paying dues for a place no one could use for the past year.
All of us have been paying dues for a place no one could use for the past year.
But a party ?
Only in Sun City Anthem
would you have a party to celebrate the most expensive "blunder" in the history of a community
!
$1,800,000
(to
date)
...to literally rebuild
the place as a result of not having had the common sense to have
it professionally inspected before it was accepted.
So...we hope all of you
who do decide to join the festivities while stuffing your faces with "free"
cookies and refreshments that the rest of the community is paying
for....
...remember this....
It's not every day a
group of responsible leaders can have a party ON YOUR
NICKEL, while allowing an association's reserves to PLUMMET...
...then asking
residents to join in a MAJOR LAW SUIT against a
builder ...
...while your dues are increasing 10% in 2017
...
...with another anticipated one a year later
!
Our suggestion regarding
the "light refreshments"...
Board
Flavored
Well...we won't be partaking in yet another UNAUTHORIZED EXPENDITURE that does nothing but add to our community's financial woes.
Our feeling is that it
would be embarrassing to celebrate something that, due to improper planning and
lack of common sense, created financial devastation to a
community.
Instead, we'll buy our
own cookies and have our own RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY....to reflect our feelings
!
of
$1,800,000
Got a comment
?
From Valerie Lapin...to...Anthem Opinions
After reading your blog this morning I am disgusted at the poor taste of the Board and our manager.
Is this "ribbon cutting ceremony" a bad joke?
It's more appropriate to have a funeral for Liberty Center opening based upon the bad decisions that have been made that we all now have to pay for for their ignorance.
DISGUSTING!
It is the principle that matters, and an inept manner of thinking without considering the consequences or even asking the community for approval or disapproval of such an idea.
Who "raises taxes" (as in dues increase), then expects people to understand when spending like this takes place?
Only those who are so out of touch and without common sense.
We got what we paid for in the last Board election, didn't we?
Just another example of "let them eat cake" ! We'll do whatever we please.
And yes, DISGUSTING !
Please feel free to eat my free cookie.
Not complaining, just putting everything in perspective.
My guess is those cookies cost about $1,000 each when you take into account the mess that was created by the lack of planning when that building was originally built.
Just have a problem celebrating a catastrophe !
Thanks for the comment.
From Vic Tolin...to...Anthem Opinions
Hmm, if you can get $1,000 per cookie......the board members should think about running for public office.
