The Board Continues its Lack of Transparency to the Residents

As we know, the Aquarina Board of Directors along with the ex-Board President’s behind the curtain puppeteering, continue their laid out agenda of embellishing the golf course and golf’s accompanying social events as a Board priority along with the private use of AGI as a means to this agenda. Let’s look at some questions about some recent past occurrences that show how the Board’s lack of transparency to the Residents is growing and not diminishing.

  • Did you see the 10th Hole sign last week stating that golf cart staff are not available due to the Corona Virus?  That’s all there is to say! Wouldn’t you think that sign opens up a huge venue of questions and answers to the community. But no further explanation or follow up.
  • The golf course’s back nine has been closed for three months. The explanation is basically “tuning”.  This is the Residents’ golf course. Shouldn’t we be apprised as to specifics of the tuning and the cost? BTW – how did the front entrance get bypassed for a tuning?  The front entrance has been waiting 35 years for an uplift, which serves the whole community.  There is always the Board excuse that reserves need to be built toward addressing the entrance; however, reserves always seem to be available for golf matters.
  • We received an email the other day that Brassie will be closed for unforeseen circumstances. Period.  Gee, our community restaurant, that we subsidize, is closed for unexplained reason(s). Yet another venue of questions and answers for the community to only guess about. People eat there!
  • A sign on the door has closed the golf course for this week.  Why?
  • The entrance gate has been open for the past week.  There has been no explanation what needs to be done to repair it; there has been no explanation on how long it will take to correct. Will it be back in operation today? With our current national crisis, an operational gate may offer some deterrence, instead of continually being open as an invitation to all for entry.

Aquarina is in desperate need of professional management, rather than depending on a group of individuals with a selfish agenda for themselves, and who see Aquarina’s immediate needs as an afterthought to address.  What may be seen is a selfish cabal poaching the Residents’ fees at their will for what this cabal perceives as business as usual, since an alternative community voice to their actions continues mute.
