Section 5: OPA Board Subject: Budget Battles Msg# 912461

joe,
I didn't realize that the fire budget was not available for viewing. But it seems like something just is not right with those figures. As for the golf and yacht club, the HOA Board does not have the expertise, knowledge running these types of businesses. The GM most certainly is not experienced in these types of operations. As you know the board wasted and paid out more money over time for what was called "drainage" work masked as major capital improvement to the course. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Over $800k for salaries for a volunteer fire? I know there are full time EMS but who else is getting paid? I have not seen the budget and just reported what I was told. Money for golf for drainage? let the management company pay for it. John, you can't be serious. A "management" company cannot possibly pay for capital improvements unless the contract calls for OPA to pay them for it. Apparently there are now three companies bidding to manage the course. One of them is Casper. There is not a crowd of people out there wanting to run our golf course. Of the three finalists the board will interview publicly, initially there were two bidding to manage and one to lease. The one initially talking about a lease has now changed to offering to manage. The company initially offering to lease was not a net-net-net lease, but rather a bid to have a seven year lese contract where OPA would be paying them a substantial amount every year and perhaps even agreeing to cover their losses. You can't make this stuff up. Yacht club, lease it out so HOA has no labor costs. Lease to whom and on what terms? |
