It’s obvious, from the candidates for the Board of Directors, that all were, as their submitted self-summaries attest, advocates of the previous Board’s policies and behaviors, i.e. where Board “Developer” actions take precedence over Board “whole Community” actions. Vacancies for the four Directors will be filled with the four only candidates, who obviously were selected and groomed by the previous Board majority. No election is required. The agenda of “Developer” projects the new Board will tout for the Residents will not be for the whole Community, but for the Board and its disciples and acolytes. Maintenance, repair, and reserves, which serves the whole Community, and is the Board’s fiduciary duty, has been continually neglected for, instead, Board “Developer” projects, i.e. golf, and AGI subsidies for parties and events.
The once and previous Community Pool, was taken away by a previous Developer for selfish reasons. Will this occur again? Not one candidate mentioned the Community Pool, which is the biggest project Aquarina would have for the WHOLE community in decades. A signed agreement is in place for the deposited funds, about $350,000, for the pool to be done. This is an exciting event for the whole Community. All Residents would benefit from the pool, even if some did not use it, since it would become a whole Community attraction. Certainly the pool would be the most popular amenity other than maybe the Beach Club House area. Yet not one word from the four candidates about them looking forward to it, supporting it, and making it a priority to have it completed as soon as possible. Not one word.
Instead, these candidates proclaimed how great the current Board has been, and how they hoped to continue its agenda, i.e. the agenda that recklessly spent our funds on selfish and “Developer” focused projects. Trust me, they’re salivating on that $350,000 sitting in our bank account. Other than the pool, the focus of our Board of Directors should be, foremost, maintaining the existing community it serves, and building reserves to repair and replace our amenities and infra-structure. We have a wonderful opportunity with the pool and its ready funding, but not one word of its existence from the candidates. Why? It could be because of a Board “Developer” agenda for self-serving spending rather for whole Community spending, and the taking of our $350,000.
If this signed for and promised Community Pool is Board ignored, it will be the hardest slap in the Residents’ faces yet. This Pool can be a great way to bond the whole Community. Weekly or bi-weekly announcements on the Pool’s progress would create a Community commonality of anticipation for this new pool amenity, though once taken away, it will now be returning. A rendering of the coming Pool and its Pool area could be displayed at the Community Club House, and this rendering emailed to the Residents. The Pool will uplift the whole Community, and it would be the best action for the whole Community the Board ever accomplished.
