Letter Re: Locke Lake Association Annual Meeting

A new line item budget has been prepared and is available at the office and a copy may be picked up. Line items have been combined to show a total, rather than individual costs of the products. Example, the used and new docks are the same line items. ($9000.00 are for new docks). By combining line items we do not get an actual cost of all expenditures. This Is Your Money!! Please examine this line Item budget very carefully and know where your money is being spent. It is your right to inform the Board where you would like your money distributed. It is the Board's job to be responsible to handle the membership money as the members vote, not to their own agenda. They are elected by you to represent your wishes.

Remember to get your proxies to someone who is attending the annual meeting by July 21st. The annual meeting is July 26th. If possible please attend. It is extremely important to make your wishes known.

Letter To The Editor

Re: Locke Lake Association Annual Meeting

Dear Editor

In recent weeks a number of articles and flyers have been written. First, the Board of Directors believes a proxy should only be used if you cannot attend on July 26th because of circumstances beyond your control. We believe this is one of the most important meetings this association will ever hold and we want you there.

Secondly, the budget will be presented and explained. We believe you should have first hand information directly from us to you to base your decisions. Third, when it comes to the business of the association, you as owners have a right to all the facts. You may go on-line, come to meetings or simply come to the office for any information you may want. When I drive down Colony Drive and I go into the neighborhood I come away with a sense of pride that this area was and still is something special. That's why I close to live here. I know some things have changed over the 40 years, but most things have not. Try to remember why you decided to move to Locke Lake. Please come to the annual meeting and help us keep what we have.

Sincerely,

Michael Ranaldi

Member Of Locke Lake Colony

Letter Re: Locke Lake Association Annual Meeting

 

If this budget was to be passed by the association, how would the Board follow through with the expected expenditures? Going by their past performance this year they have not shown any concern for the members wishes. For example, at the last annual meeting the members voted for a 3% increase for the administrator, but the board chose to give 4%. Why ask for a vote if the Board does not intend to follow through? The membership voted a few years back to have both dams repaired. The funds were appropriated. The small dam was repaired. But the Board in its wisdom decided that a beaver was far more important than the residents surrounding the dam. By the time they decided to repair it, winter had set in and it could not be done. During the winter the pipes in the ground had shifted. Now the dam cannot be repaired as planned. The cost was $23,000 and now because of new regulations requiring a new permit for about $3000. plus the cost of engineers and unknown other costs it may cost $50,000 or more. What could have been done is not done because the Board dragged its feet. The lodge was scheduled to be done and was not. Why? What makes construction of docks more important than the repairs that the membership has already voted on? The docks serve only a minority of members. What about the roads? Aren't they important.

Let's make this Board accountable.
