LETTER
Greetings Patriots!
Laguna Woods Village - There have been a number of emails
circulating of a proposed and very costly decision by the United Board to
expand UNITED'S
GOVERNING DOCUMENTS ( BY- LAWS) from Thirty Seven (37) Pages to Sixty
Two (62) Pages!
This measure has been placed on United's July 10th Monthly
meeting agenda. The board will vote to publish their new BY-LAWS, that have only
been discussed in a closed agenda meeting.
This is the expensive part!!
The board will also vote for approval to mail the new By-Laws, to all 6,300 Resident
Owners in United without an adequate timeframe for the resident
owners to read, understand and discuss the contents.
This action will deny any opportunity
for the general membership to have their questions addressed, add
revisions and review any ramifications whether of a positive or negative
nature before this is put out to a general vote.
The cost for this action by the board is
said to be about $50,000 of our money!
The Board will schedule TWO (2) Townhall Meetings for open member
discussion. The first meeting is scheduled for July 30th. However
the information I have received is that the information packet will not be
mailed to residents until August 1st.
The second Town Hall Meeting is
scheduled for August 10th in the Board Room. Your vote will need to be returned by August 30th.
According to our present BY-LAWS this new measure can be approved
with only a15% VOTE which is approximately
900 voters!
I am told that a copy of these revised
documents will not be available to United Residents prior to Tuesday's United
Board Meeting.
I strongly urge all United Residents to
attend the board meeting Tuesday, July 10th at 9:30 A.M in the Board Room. I
would like to know what changes we can expect and why we do not have
the BY-LAW proposed changes before our monthly meeting! I would
like an answer as to why we would consider spending $50,000 of our money for
these changes. My question is this, can this be done in a more prudent and cost
conservative manner?
Last year the old United board spent in
excess of $300,000 of our money on an investigation of Third Mutuals Lawsuit. I
was told by a sitting board member that the United Board had no intention of
filing a Lawsuit!!!!!
Three hundred thousand dollars of our
money for an investigation and now they want to spend Fifty Thousand
Dollars for the mailing of BY-LAW changes and we wonder why our assessments
keep going up?
I hope you are interested enough to
attend tomorrows meeting!
See you tomorrow.
Pam Grundke

This went to the Globe today June 21, 2012, to be published in the next issue. I doubt it will appear. If this single thing doesn’t upset you then you have either decided to join the ranks of those who just have so much money to live on for the rest of your lives that you just can’t spend it all or you have not been paying attention. This is just one single thing that has been a part of the overall and overwhelming abuse heaped upon us for all the years any of us has lived here. I apologize for the run on sentences. I am just very upset. We moved here before we were to retire so we could set down roots and live here for the rest of our lives. That isn’t going to happen.

Laguna Woods Village, CA- Bob Hatch has decided along with the help of that Corporate Oracle, Kathryn Freshley, that a new incentive plan should be put in place for PCM. The fox is ripping apart the hen house. Even Linda Wilson of the United Board admitted the board members are hardly experts according to the newspaper report.
LETTERS
We received a follow up letter, posted below, to a GRF resolution outlining rules of engagement for open board meetings (click here for copy) scheduled for approved today. We asked Ms. Donie Vantizian, co-author of the long-standing Los Angeles Times column "Associations" to comment on the merits of such letter, and have included her response under Comments below
GRF Rules of Engagement Good For Folsom? First, does this new "SHUT UP!" Rule (click here for copy of GRF resolution dealing with rules of engagement) ) apply only to the Folsom Prison inmates at Leisure World or does it apply also to the residents?
GRF Rules of Engagement Innovation, or Self-preservation?If you would pay attention ((click here for copy of GRF resolution dealing with rules of engagement) ) to what the residents are telling you, you wouldn't have to be so scared and try to impose illegal sanctions against the people who are paying the bills. The residents would not be angry.
GRF Rules of Engagement Restrict Resident Participation The GRF resolution (click here for copy) about to be finally approved at the next GRF Board meeting - Tuesday after next (August 5th), is an effort to greatly restrict resident participation in their meetings.
