The management of a large subdivision like ours with millions of dollars in revenue should be in the hands of professional third party, who would have to account for everything they do to a Board whose exclusive task would be to follow the bylaws and nothing else. This association cannot be self managed by a group of ever changing volunteers! This mess has been going on since time inmemoriam and to put it mildly the time to change all this bizarre state of affairs was yesterday. The meaning of insanity is expecting different results while perpetuating the same old tired routine.

Johnd, it looks like someone has to start researching 3rd party mgmt options and present it to the membership at the Feb membership mtg and take a vote. How much will it cost us vs what we're doing now? We'll still need a board bc of the bond requirement. How much power they'll have w/a mgmt company in place is another question. The bond requirements will have to be researched.
Some members have spoken of going into receivership, but I heard the last time we were in receivership, we didn't have a bond. If we went into receivership, the chip seal project would come to a screeching halt.
Someone presented the 3rd party mgmt option at the last membership mtg. Unfortunately she didn't have all her facts gathered when she made her motion to form a committee to research this option, and her motion failed.
I am in total agreement w/you, Kenny and Chunkster. Us doling $$$$ out every year and getting nothing in return is unacceptable.
Special membership mtg? How else can the membership unite to challenge the board? 100 signatures would be easy to gather to request a membership mtg.
