What are your thoughts on the proposed fee?
There was an extended debate over spending just $250 at the Monthly Board Meeting yesterday; but they are spending thousands-of-dollars to send the Fitness Manager to a Fitness Seminar in San Diego, California. Couldn’t they just have spent the $250 without public debate, or were they putting on a show?
They have cut 17 employee jobs [...]
Whenever the POA Board refuses to answer property owners’ questions on their very own closed POA Forum, the questions will spill over onto this open website.
How much does the executive employees of the POA make?
Are these possible answers?
General Manager, Roger Klask – $100,000 PLUS
Director of the Amenities Directors, Jim Story - $100,000 PLUS (Why is [...]
Perhaps a better question would be, “Should the property owners expect and accept lies from their POA Board Directors?”
One of our POA Board director candidates was quizzed after the 2008 Annual Meeting with the following question: “Why did the Board Directors lie to us today?” Their response was: “I don’t know.
The POA Board Directors are [...]
A note to the 4kfee.com and ResponsiblePOA.com websites members:
Last year was the first time in the history of this community that a few property owners were able to band together and to overcome the dictatorial control of the POA Board. Even though governance has not changed in Big Canoe, the POA Board has been made [...]
After reading Mr. Jim Owens’ opinion in the Big Canoe December Smoke Signals, it is clear to many of us that the HOA must do an operational audit of the POA; read Mr. Owens’ opinion located at http://tinyurl.com/smokesignalsjimowens (Mr. Owens is a former POA Board Director and is a longstanding member of the POA Board’s [...]

Bring your questions about the CIF/CRF and the Sconti Clubhouse’s financial drain on the community.
If the POA Board really wants a funding method for a Capital Reserve Fund (CRF) that is fair to ALL of the property owners, they need to fund it by reviewing and changing the amenities usage fees. Instead of funding the CRF with a Capital Initiation Fee (CIF), they should use an Amenity Initiation Fee [...]
Why wasn’t the POA Board able to impose their ¾ % Exit Fee on the residents of Big Canoe? It was because the residents were NOT stampeded into another Sconti type election where we were given only 30 days to decide. More time provided the residents with enough time to investigate the Board’s claims.
Democracy works [...]
Are you seeing retribution? Isn’t this another reason that some of us remain anonymous on this website?
Why? One of the POA Board Directors has sternly told a property owner (that due to his asking questions that were too in depth) the following: “You are a Monday morning armchair quarterback,” You are a “loose cannon,” and [...]

THIS IS A LONG LETTER, but it is REQUIRED READING for those wanting to understand the POA Board’s methods and the Initiation Fee proposal better.
