I would like to comment on a couple votes we took Tuesday evening at the board meeting, one that is a complete waste of your money and another that potentially could save hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Your federal government has mandated all road name signs must be changed. The powers that be have determined the way the signs have been produced from day one is now not good enough to meet their standards. Heaven forbid, the street signs have all capital letters. They now must have a first capital letter then the rest in non-capitals. This is during a time our federal government is trying to decide how to cut their spending and keeping our country afloat. This year we will spend $3,000 for the signage plus the labor to change the signs. This is just the first year and it will continue for years. Your dues money thrown out the window due to the intelligent actions of your federal government with too much free time on their hands and a superiority complex.
The next item is logical spending. Your board has voted “yes” to the request of the road commission to access if necessary up to $3,000.00 for more core testing to see if base replacement is really necessary in some of the indicated areas during our upcoming road repair project. This expenditure could possibly save hundreds of thousands of your dues dollars. This is a logical expenditure, unlike the ridiculous signage. Your board, management, committees, and commissions are working to respect your monies and spend judiciously.
