A TIDBIT

In the mist of telling everyone that our 2012 operating capital will be in the tank by a whopping $232, 000, Treasurer Steffensen again brought up the cost for Time Warner. She’s right when saying that Time Warner’s annual $181,000 price tag is a lot of money, but so is the $150,000 being thrown away to support our money pit revenue centers each year . When the Board approved this ten year Time Warner contract in 2008, it touted a monthly per unit cost of $11 with no more than a 5% increase per year and now we're told it cost just under $15. If you think about it you can’t obtain cable or satellite for twice that. If we have a 5% increase each year until the end of the contract it will be cheaper than what an individual can get today. One has to ask if there really is a problem here? Would it not be wiser to leave Time Warner alone and focus on the $70,000 Aramark salary increase, or maybe to try to create a new charge towards those who waste our water. Maybe even do something more about these money burning Revenue Centers.
Your thoughts?

Right on Joey,
The thought that we now have an Ice machine accross from the gate house for what. So that when a guard is getting ice for someone he is distracted?
Who's idea was this when we have places that sell ice within 1/2 mile of the gate. I'll bet it was an Aramark employee.
The grill should be closed.I have supported the grill but when I bought my $6.00 lunch the real cost of a $6.00 meal is about $30.00 when you consider that everyone of us paying monthly condo fees is subsidizing that lunch.Same with the rental office. I as a real estate professional I can tell you that our rental office is run very poorly. Yet we are told everythings ok, B.S.
Our bathhouses are used more by the contractors and our help than owners and renters.
What resort allows the contractors and help to use the facilities.
We have no water restrictors why?
THIS IS NOT A VILLAGE OF PRIDE IT IS A VILLAGE WITH A RELUCTANCE TO CHANGE.
