What are your thoughts on the proposed fee?
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 this position even needed?)
CFO Sandy Filkowski - $100,000 Plus?
And the list goes on………….

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackThe following flier was put into my Big Canoe Post Office Alpha box:
POA Board increases Big Canoe monthly assessments 6 1/3 %.
POA Board cuts services.
POA Board lays off Big Canoe employees [17 fired].
POA executive employees maintain $100,000 plus salaries; salaries will not be cut.
The Big Canoe gossip mill is saying that the POA Board gave General Manager Roger Klask a $225,000/year, 3-year contract with additional performance bonuses.
if true, this is outrageous. In the best of times or the worst of times, for anyone in that position, but especially considering Klask is a resident, the idea of a three year contract is absurd. I certainly hope the dollar amount isn’t true either.
Someone confirm or deny…
I guess you have heard about Thursday’s Community Coffee Meeting where a few property owners were argumentative with the Board President. Based on the argumentative questions, and after years of hiding property owners’ owned POA documents from the property owners, they have backed off somewhat and given up the pay scales for the executive staff employees (and others).
I have posted the 2009 maximum salaries for the executive staff employees below:
General Manager - $215,400 (May be higher due to recent activities)
Director of Amenities - $135,000
Director of Finance - $135,000
Note to argumentative property owners – job well done. Is this what it takes to get access to the property owners’ owned POA documents?
Thanks…not very soothing to see these salaries. Any disclosure on an employment contract - anything more than a year is completely irresponsible by the POA Board.
I don’t mind so much the finance position, but the GM position salary especially considering he is a resident (meaning there is no enticement for relocation, etc) and the Director of Amenities are absurd. But in full disclosure I am in the growing majority of people that don’t see the need for the Director of Amenities position especially with his performance.
Memo to Board and Roger: For 215K plus the GM position can take direct reports from our excellent amenity managers. Guys like Dave O’Connor don’t need a filter.
It’s a gated land of rich old farts who want the ills of the world held from view. They ripped off others to get rich, now they get ripped by even older, richer old farts. The cycle continues
Coolmind, there is more truth in what you say than you realize. Base on my years of Big Canoe POA observation, and discussions with the POA corporate board members, you have to ask yourself: Are they laundering money? Yes, the cycle repeats itself.
I recently purchased a home in Big Canoe and was surprised to hear that the water bill gets divided evenly amongst all property owners without regard to their actual consumption.If true, as an out of town owner, who plans to use my home only a few months out of the year I find this practice unfair and outlandish to place the financial burden on part-time residents to pay for full time residents water consumption. Can anyone confirm or deny if this is the policy? if true, we need to look into changing this unfair policy immediately…
Good luck………
Big Canoe is a fair-tax community. We all pay equally for capital expenses, fees, water and for anything else.
Get over it!
Whenever there is money around, there will be crooks.
Even after they retire, they join in with others crooks to stay top of whatever game the insiders are bilking.
Yes, very large rich gated communities contain money, and therefore are filled with crooks and well managed ponzi schemes.
If you don’t want to give up your hard earn money, don’t buy into these communities.
