Comparative Communities to Aquarina are tabled out to show how great we have it. Unfortunately, no information as to the specifics of these comparative communities is provided, e.g. names and locations, descriptions of the amenities, details of what is paid, (what is included, and the frequency of the fees), staffing, etc. The table is meant, in its incomplete presentation, to make an argument for the Boards actions and agenda, which has been to “run” Aquarina rather than “maintaining” Aquarina.
Our Volunteer Program has been great, and it provides a means for the Community to socialize and participate in the maintenance of our amenities, and a Resident camaraderie is established; all good. However, to espouse this program as a means to save the Residents in the payment of fees is deceitful. We are talking about minimum wage activities. The Board is grasping to show how it is working in an economical way for the interest of the Community, as it spends our funds on nonessential projects as the presentation of our Community continues to deteriorate in the eyes of the public.
