Apparently two members of the Administrative Council have returned to their previous pattern of suppressing information, to whit: the announcement on the bulletin board at La Marina directing inquiries regarding finances not to the Treasurer the third and equal member of the Administrative Council and the one who has the most financial information, but to the secretary...only. Isn't this filtering of information what we've been dealing with for nearly four years, now? Wasn't this pattern of with holding information, providing inaccurate information, suppressing significant details, glossing over serious problems, what got La Marina into the current financial crisis that led our past board president and current Administrative Council President to exclaim "not passing a new budget would be financially irresponsible?" Of course, no one was able to examine that budget and had no idea what it entailed. Is it any wonder there are numerous questions?
And if questions are becoming burdensome to Luis, what kind of solution is requiring "soft and hard copies" of requests to the secretary? Why isn't all the financial information posted on the bulletin board rather than edicts from two members of the Council who are not even responsible for the financial information? Talk about taking steps to be obstructive! If homeowners had the information it wouldn't be a problem, would it?
Is this sensitive information? You bet it is! Every homeowner has a right to know exactly how our money is being spent, who is spending it and why. It should not be necessary to beg and plead for this information. It should be readily available to each and every homeowner. There should be no secrets! The new regime requires us to make all our financial decisions at the annual meeting and then we have to live with those decisions until the next meeting. Only a thoroughly and completely informed ownership can render the proper decisions. We must have ALL the information to make the proper decisions.
Let's learn from past mistakes, keep everyone in the loop and avoid posturing.

Yes!!!
This is correct and further more my wife, Gail has tried for months to get complete Finanical information on the pool project, the pool project that was to have a seperate set of books instead it is mixed in day to day La Marina
books. Why is the pool project not as planned? 1. A Electric meter was to be installed. She reminded Dave Lewis and Don to make sure to have this done in an email and on the phone this summer. 2.There was to be a bench for the pool cover to go into when not in use. 3. There should be gfI's in the bar area. These protect anyone from getting a shock when they have wet feet.
4. There should be a timer for the hot tub. 5. The Mountain in the pool should be replaced with steps as told this summer to them. It is time that the one who wanted the pool
project should complete his plan. No money should be paid to him until this is completed!!
Thank You,
Barry Hudson
