Mr. Porter, Tri-fold, Vicki?

What do these three things have in common? Everything and Nothing!!!

First, thank you Mr. Porter for opening the country club and golf course. I have been thoroughly enjoying the gym and pool. I'm not a golfer. And I've enjoyed your fine restaurant with family and friends. I will miss them.

The tri-fold, well were to start, first I was chairperson of A.C.C. until April of this year. Having gone over the tri-fold many times, yes I have a copy; there are only a few things that the A.C.C. did not go along with when I was chairperson.
1. Making people have to scale drawing of their project.
2. Did not require members in Tuolumne to put in a request for tree removal, it's not in their C.C.&R.'s.
3. Did not require members to put in a request to burn on their property.
4. We also did not require 16" eaves on any structure.

What we did do was require members when asking to put up metal buildings for a drawing of size and placement on property. At which time, I would go to the site and check if it would interfere with the appearance, view from road, or just stand out to much in the area.

This is the only real changes that the A.C.C. did. If the building was to be constructed of wood we pretty much accepted it with county approval was ever it was placed, no one is guaranteed a view here. Also, since one and a half pages (of the tri-fold) was for violations the A.C.C. turned them over to that committee. That is the extent of changes.

It is true Vicki gets very passionate about her beliefs and thoughts. She will go after a project with everything she has. And when she truly believes in something she has a hard time letting go. She has a vested interest in this area as a property owner and member, just like a lot of us here. Her energy and personality is not liked by some people in the area; especially insecure males who have beliefs of women have a place and it's not in the work place or any other businesses. Vicki has some great ideas for solutions with the LDPCSD.

I have an idea about charging everyone the same monthly fee including those lots that have not been built upon yet, instead of a yearly stand by fee.

From what I have heard about Jason he has already saved the water department a great deal of money, make him GM. In the past, before Kent there was a woman GM who did not work out in the field.

This much I know about Vicki, she will exhaust herself working for all the members whether it is appreciated or not. We do not always agree on things and I do not hesitate to tell her this.

I do know she has never lied to the members.

STFU (Shut the FOOL Up)

HOW THE MANAGEMENT QUIT!!!

This is to inform all members as to the real reason the management quit LDPOA. It was because of Clem Brown, Vicki Keefe, and Ken Kennedy. Miss Lucy didn't care about the members or what they thought.

Some information, when Vicki was Treasurer she was denied access to the accounting records of this association. When Vicki was president and the board at that time had an open seat Vicki, Harding, Cummings, Ken and Carolyn voted to accept Clem on the board. He was then nominated for Treasurer.

When Ron was still president members started coming to meetings who live out of the area, to complain about unjustified charges being made to them from a company called ALS. Clem, as a private member, talked to each of these members after the meetings and kept in touch with them and there situation.

To be fair Miss Lucy stated in her letter that it was because of members, but this is not true.

When Clem started digging into the records, he found a lot of problems in the book work and the actions of ALS and TMA. ALS was hired by TMA, Miss Lucy. This checking was done with the complete knowledge of Vicki and Ken.

There was a court case in L.A. against ALS and one of our members was in touch with these lawyers, and was testifying against ALS and there practices. They called Clem and subpoenaed him to testify. He agreed and when he received his subpoena TMA resigned.

You see she was accepting $100.00 for every case she turned over to ALS for collection. Finder fees. Unfortunately, the case was a draw with neither sides winning. If they had won there case against ALS we LDPOA could have gone after ALS for the money we paid them and help all members with what ALS had charged them.

Also FYI, we had the management monthly fees for 8 months of Vicki's being president. So with all the spending for that year which included all 12 months of a management company; the board was able to save over $20,000.00 to be put in the reserves. So our reserves started out $20,000.00 ahead with $5004.00 to be put in the reserves every month with the new budget.

This current board did not have that much left with 12 months of not having a management company. And they stopped putting money in the reserves as of Feb 2009, because they did pay the total insurance costs to Feb 2010. This does not explain the spending because we are talking about $20,000.00.

Were did all that extra money that was not sucked up by a management company go???
