January’s numbers are in. The losses mount on lower revenues. More of the same. To say that the pre-planning and operations since the opening have been poor is an understatement. Where else would such a a performance be tolerated.

I don’t know Ron.

How can you write an article and not mention the Sconti losses and mismanagement as one of the prevailing reasons of concern that contributes to the need to increase assessments and fees?? How??? No mention…none…zippo…zero!!! WE ARE AN EXPENSE DRIVEN BUDGET!

Message to the POA Board, ‘Houston called and the community has a problem.’

The Cat and I are away from the Canoe but returning shortly and I was catching up on the fine points of the revised proposal.
Aside from the fact the lot revision still has the single family homeowner at a disavantage (who does the math on these things…all these board members boast of fabulous resumes but had [...]
