What are your thoughts on the proposed fee?
The Big Canoe POA Board failed to do their fiduciary responsibility by building a $10,000,000+ restaurant after the property owners “voted” approval for a $4,000,000 restaurant.
If the POA Board had stayed within the property owners’ “approved” funding, the Capital Reserve Funding (Initiation) Fee would not be needed.
The Sconti Rebuild over-runs have placed the community in [...]
New article in Smoke Signals states that we are moving a trailer during the day utilizing the entire force of Andy Beck. Now thats good resource utilization. Seems like we could have done it with 1 lead truck and possibly in the middle of the night. Of course I wonder if the [...]
It is nice…well done. That was the constant initial refrain I heard at the opening. As the night wore on, perhaps it was the bar, the refrain continued to include the price tag. The best quote of the night for me was a from a very prominent and well-known lady in the community who leaned over [...]
Let’s draft Jim Owens for the Board. Give his last few columns a read. He has consistent, clear-minded thoughts in relationship to the financial peril that we are headed toward as a community. Our debt will approach nearly 15 million dollar….YES 15 MILLION dollars.
Jim speaks the truth. Smoke Signals must swallow hard when they publish [...]
Kind of humorous to see Bennett and the gang fall in line with the board over and over and over. First it was BW ‘gee schucks’ column last month of backing the the CIF because those behind it were “good people” even though he didn’t “vet” them all.
Then it is this issues intentional mis-characterization of [...]
The current proposed 1% Fee is a 1% “ADJUSTABLE-RATE” Fee; in other words, this is a percentage rate that the POA Board will be able to change without getting re-approval from the property owners. Beware, the POA Board is not asking you for a fixed-rate fee, but an adjustable-rate fee.
Today’s 1% (an adjustable-rate) may become [...]
There has been a lot of talk and posts regarding this capital fee. To me it is clear and obvious that you should vote NO. Here is why,
1 The current board has the Nerve to tell you that Sconti is on budget. Now I was not an accounting major but I know that we voted [...]
After reviewing the exit fee concept as it regards the time share owners, it probably doesn’t make sense to try to collect $20 when someone finally sells a time share. However, since we are excluding them from the process, it simply doesn’t make sense that they should have a vote on establishing a fee that [...]
From the Letters to the Editor, Smoke Signals Online - May 27, 2008:
“Higher POA fees will hurt some residents.”
“To the Editor:
Presently in Big Canoe many changes are going on. All are designed to improve our lives and community. I hear many rumors ranging from applying a fee on purchasing homes by 1 1/2% to raising [...]
In response to the current Smoke Signals On-line article by Barbara Schneider: “Wide ranging issues covered at HOA board meeting - Questions for POA open lively discussion,” one POA Forum poster stated: “After reading the story it seems to me that a better heading would be, “Wide ranging issues skirted at HOA board meeting“.
She goes [...]
