Section 5: OPA Board Subject: It Was Embarrassing Msg# 938568

I think the statement you made is ridiculous. It was more like $5 million
For starters just look at the audited financial statements for golf for the past 10 years and add up the TOTAL costs to association members to maintain and operate the course. Finally they voted 4 to 3 and at least for a while the issue was settled. For a while? Seems rather permanent to me, at least until four board members vote otherwise and that probably won't happen. Subsequently, the three Board liaisons met with officials from LU. Technically they are not liaisons to LU, at least not in the sense that the board has liaisons to various committees. The LU contract states that the board can appoint up to three representatives to participate in executive meetings with LU. They don't even have to be association members, much less board members... but the board decided to appoint three board members. If you contact OPA you can obtain a copy of the LU contract. Maybe you can pick up the last 10 years audited financial statements at the same time. Today 20 members of the 19th Holers played 9 holes of golf at River Run for $15, they would have been happy to play at OP for $20. Have you and these other 20 folks written to the board of directors to make your views known? |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Joe, You recently reported on the Form that Renaud had appointed himself, Terry and Cordwell as liaison to LU. You also reported that after Herrick asked why it hadn't been discussed and then voted upon there was a heated discussion among the Board members. Finally they voted 4 to 3 and at least for a while the issue was settled. Subsequently, the three Board liaisons met with officials from LU. These facts I gleaned from reports on your Forum. This all occurred within about the last month. "Yes. When OPA association members see $10 million of their assessment dollars dumped into the golf course to improve it for golfers, and those who play golf go elsewhere to save a few dollars per round, that is ridiculous. I think the statement you made is ridiculous. It was more like $5 million some of which was for flood relief for adjacent properties. Why couldn't OP golf charge the same rate as near by courses. Today 20 members of the 19th Holers played 9 holes of golf at River Run for $15, they would have been happy to play at OP for $20. That's $300 that could have gone into OP golf coffers. This could have been the case since May ist. As I stated yesterday would it be better to have 10 golfers for $25 or %0 golfers for $20. If you want to know who arranged for IRSGC to play at OP contributing about $32,000 plus money spent at the Tern Grill you can call me at 240-994-8521 or my personel email is frankbo1@verizon.net.
