Pool Use

Pool use redux

Apparently this was just a demonstration of scuba and was well advertised at mailboxes and in emails. Somehow I missed it as I check my mail (e- and snail) everyday. The portioning of the pool should have been different according to the person who responded to my direct complaint to the BOD. This is a step in the right direction, for which I am glad.

Community Pool, which community

Mr. Schaffrath

If it is a community pool, set up to serve the interests of the community then the survey that the BOD did has proven that most want something other then swim teams etc. You said, ?“to crucify a COMMUNITY elected board serving in VOLUNTEER positions while they do their level best to serve the interests of the entire COMMUNITY?”. Well this is not happening. Folks are complaining because it?’s obvious that the needs are not being served. How many residents showed up for scuba lessons? I am curious Does anyone know?

Personally I am not trying to belly ache or call any lawyer, I would REALLY like to know what the majority think. But it seems as though the majority does not rule around here. I do have issue with the cost involved especially since I have seen the figures posted somewhere on this site once that showed how much money WE ALL ARE PAYING especially (don?’t mean to beat a dead horse) for heating the pool for the swim team. I kinda remember the figure being (don?’t quote me) that it?’s like 10 grand to heat it and we only charge the swim team like 10 grand to use it. Basically (someone please post the figures again) the team used the pool for free! I am SURE that you also don?’t want to talk about the swim team is part of our good friend, Gary Bradley. I just paid the other half of my assessment, a lot of which goes for that stinking pool!

Mr. Schaffrath If you can show me otherwise, I would appreciate it seeing it.

BTW, was it not you that said that you were not going to post here any longer?
Sal, Impress Us with Wisdom? Yuk

Geez Sal, did you get into the line you heard was for brains but it was trains and you missed yours?
Have you ever been in a profit making business? I doubt if you would recognize one if it fell on you.
You might be brainwashed, if you had one to wash.
Only a mildly retarded person would waste any time reposting a ''great example from the past''. What was it, your eight grade dissertation on great social thinkers. That was the last grade you finished wasn't it?
When I excercise my vote, rest assured if tar and feathering you and Batman is on the ballot, it will get my vote.
You are a sad, little man Sal.
What would you do without this website and your fellow bombthrowers, beat the dog? No, you could go down on Congress and join Leslie. We take him/her just as seriously.
I comment because they took Bozo's Circus off the air and I had an urge to watch Clowns on Parade.
That and truly, I want to be a part of this intellectual dialogue.
Excuse me, I have to change my cat's litter box, my other excrement removal task.
I know you will be here when I get back.
After all, without a life, what else do you have to do?

Winner & Losers of this POOL !

Winner & Losers of this ''donated'' Pool

BIG WINNER: Circle C Developer
-Transferred the ownership of the pool to the Association by ''donation'' to avoid paying Capital Gain Tax.
-Retains full control of the pool, but pays no expenses.
-Grossly overcharges homeowners for operational & maintenance expenses. The total amount of the overcharge for the last four years was approximately $404,180.
-Uses OUR pool to make big bucks (approximately 250K-300K just in the Year of 2002 alone) by owning a swimming team, and only let the homeowners share the crumb of $10,100.

BIG LOSERS: Circle C Homeowners
-Received ownership of the pool on paper only.
-Have no control of using the pool, but have obligation of paying the capital improvements, maintenance and operational expenses.
-Have been overcharged of expenses by the total amount of approximately $404,180, which is enough to build two Olympic size pools of our own.
-Let the Developer benefit by using OUR pool for making big bucks, but we only receive the crumb totalling of 10,100 (3.5% of 250K-300K in 2002).

ANOTHER BIG LOSER: Internal Revenue Service
-Lost $31,080 Capital Gain Tax Revenue in the Year of 2001 ($111,000 x 28%)
Since we, the homeowners, had been charged $218,727 before the transfer of the ownership, this transaction should not be considered as a donation. How could we consider that we had received a ''gift'' from the Developer when we had paid almost twice the value of the property we had received (Fair Market Value of the pool was $111,000 at the time of the transfer)? Therefore, this transaction should not be considered as a donation; it should be considered as a TAX EVASION!

FINAL NOTE:
Please remember that the Developer could not rip us off without the help of our dear Board of Directors!
