TONIGHT, DECEMBER 20TH, IS THE DECEMBER WPA BOARD MEETING. WILL YOU ATTEND, AND HOPE YOUR BOARD REPORTS ON SOME CRITICAL ISSUES?



Tonight marks the last meeting of the year.  This "no report", or "report so limited there might as well have been no report", BOARD, might provide us with some answers to key issues.  If not - no surprise - that's usual, if you attend, you can always ask questions at the end of the meeting, and hope for answers - it is your only chance to draw out information from the board.  We have a lot of unanswered questions, and lack of updates.

*CANALS:  What is the status of the illegal dredging effort?  How many canal lot owners have made their voluntary payments?  How long will the effort to collect continue before the board either allows the committee to move forward, or brings the effort to a close, and releases the funds - could be up to $135,000, from their (not voted from the board table)  promise?  We should have answers.  It should be noted that this questionable, expensive, poorly planned and reported effort, was not even reported on from the board table during the annual meeting!

*GOLF COURSE:  The board has failed to even attempt to answer resident questions.  See resident letters posted on the blog.  Rumors are that the golf course was sold, and a closing was to take place at the end of December - just a few days away.  Then rumors were that the closing had been delayed for about a month.  As all the rumors were floating, I've had a few calls from residents who are concerned about whether the rumored deal was delayed because maybe the potential buyers were going to try and break the PUD, and build on the golf course.  I have no idea, except to say that it has been tried before, and therefore could be a possibility.  While the board is not in control of whether it is sold, there should be an effort to gather info, and share it with us.

*THE BOARD WEBSITE:  What has the "no report" BOARD done to make this site useful to residents, and to follow the requisites of our governing documents?  No minutes, financial reports, postings of special meetings, agendas, tape recordings, etc.  More of their "if they don't see it, they can't question it, or even be informed"?

Hope to see you at the meeting.  This is what we have to govern us.  As Judge Judy says, "you picked them".  We haven't even been told how many people voted at the annual meeting.
