HERE’s AN EMAIL I RECEIVED FROM AN HOMEOWNER!
Nice work!
And NONE of those expenses are going to improve the lives of the residents at SCA. The BOD is spending lots of physical plant and nothing on additional classes improving the health of residents – specifically those classes to help defer aging and keep people active as they get older.
IN FACT the existing BOD has increased the costs of classes so they could keep money in the ASSET ENHANCEMENT FUND to keep spending. They used to use the AEF monies for some class subsidizing.
The current BOD should (my opinion) be spending money to get people out of their houses and back into the activity centers. Participation is a lot lower now than it was in 2017,18,19. Of course covid shut us down. But COVID is really gone and Vegas is open. Once you stop using it you start to lose it. We need a BOD focused on residents, not on building. It is time for lots of promotion to get residents back into the centers.
BUT Clarkson doesn’t generate fees on additional types of classes (like Fall Prevention) but they make lots on contract oversight.
So management (who directs the BOD – no matter what anyone says) keeps building and hiring.
Spend almost a $million on the theater – AND now we have to hire a full time manager to manage it.
Sandy just keeps building out her employee base, supported by the BOD and they really do nothing for residents.
Keep at it. The election is coming up. Let’s get the BOD and management focused on residents instead of buildings.
