They are going to add a Director of Golf. Isn’t this another layer of management?

If so, shouldn’t Jim Story’s title of Director of Amenities be changed to Director of Directors?

Here you people go again. For-profit corporations own the movie theatres. The POA is a non-profit corporation and owns the amenities.

FIRE the Amenity Director!!!!!!!!!! You hear that Board. That clown has down nothing for this community. Then eliminate the position. He comes up with stupid idea after stupid idea after stupid idea.

There is about $120K+/year in cost savings.

Someone should tell Bill Wilson that we don’t own the movie theatres; the property owners do own the amenities.

There is a rumor that the Board will be taking extreme measures to increase revenues and that the Sconti Clubhouse will soon have pay-toilets

You can no longer bring food or beverages to the tennis courts or the swimming pools. You must buy your refreshments there.

Beer at the tennis courts has gone from $1.25 to $2.50 per can; a 100% increase.

What is the POA Board’s explanation?

“When you are at a POA managed facility - you can’t bring in food or drink” Terry Bacigaliupo, Board Director

“The swim operation does not make money. If people want food and beverages there, they can buy it. Movie theatres don’t allow people to bring in food either” Bill Wilson, Board Director.

Note: When cost cutting doesn’t save enough money, you tax the property owners by making the amenities more costly.

I noticed a new website out there that is interesting, having to do with POA members and
their “rights”.

It certainly is true. Read the article in Smoke Signals Online. Surely, you didn’t expect a rational explanation. Apparently, none of our management wants to actually deal with employees directly. We have to spend big bucks on an amenity manager so Klask won’t be distracted by having direct reports, now the fitness center manager is taking the same approach, ostensibly as a “cost saving measure.” Does anyone understand that the overages in the amenities are being paid by everyone else? Regardless of what John Seferian says, these deficits, whether it is golf, tennis or food and beverage result in higher assessements for everyone and higher charges for ammenities.

Must be true.

I will not comment on anonymous postings. Identify yourselves and there is a possibility for dialogue.
