Good day..After reading the proposed agenda for a "dues increase", let me just put my two cents in. There are so many things seriously wrong with this community and it seems as though CC&R's along with "other" rules are NOT be followed.
How is it that a pod can sit in a homeowners driveway for not days, but weeks?
And it is my understanding that it can sit there for months on end while the homeowners are trying to get it together to build a room/extension onto their home to store all the "crap" they have stacked on their back patio and in the front doorway of their home. This is all visible from the street.
Secondly, how is it that a seasonal homeowner can have someone UNDER AGE residing in the home ?
(Per our CC&R's it can not exceed 21 days from the time the homeowner leaves)
and is able to stay there?
This has been going on for years.
There was a paragraph found in the CC&R's dated 2009, which clearly references boats/motor homes, but does not indicate a huge storage unit.
You want us to pay additional fees, but yet issues that are a constant, do not seem to go away or appear to get resolved.
Look around the various villages and you will see weeds, overgrown trees, and shrubs, the front yards looking like trash.
Homeowners/Renters leave trash cans out for over a week after Republic has picked up.
Numerous cards have been submitted with regards to the lounge chairs at the pool...these are so low that most of us seniors have a great deal of difficulty getting out of them, hence we can not enjoy what we PAY FOR.
Maybe someone should take a look at that as well.
What was once a beautiful community is truly going down hill.
These things along with other concerns have been submitted to the "office" .
It appears as though the staff is overwhelmed and may not be able to handle these problems along with others.
Maybe we should go back to having an outside company manage us.
With the exorbitant salaries that are being forked out by "US" you would think they could get a better hold on these things.
Why do we need to pour HOA money into a TV studio? How many HOAs do you know have their own TV studio? Sure, you get some information out of it but can't you get that same information if you have a special section in our Spirit Magazine? The magazine, I think, is a good amenity and goes to everyone's home. Not every home watches SCA TV! Get rid of the TV studio and expand the Spirit and save money that way.
Why are we paying the SCA GM around $250,000 a year? The governor of this state only makes around $129,000 +/-. Can someone explain that to me? The top salary for a general in the military is around $15,000.10 a month, for a top general with more than 40 years of military service. That's a salary range of $103,687.20 to 189,601.20 annually, depending on rank and years of service.
I'd say the governor and a top general have more responsibility than the SCA GM, and yet she makes a hell of lot more - Can someone explain that to me?
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to run this HOA - this HOA staff proves that. It just takes conscientious management.

ReplyDeleteThe ONLY reason the Board can get yet another dues increase is because the residents shrug their collective shoulders.
The Residents' apathy allow them to conduct business they way THEY want to.

Thank you for allowing me to vent.
Very well said!!!
