Algonquin Acres Community

Why Do we let this Continue?

Posted in: Highline Meadows Fellows
Dear Folks,

Thank you so much for your input into our struggle. I know it is in the hearts of this community to make change. The current board has been in office too long and has lost their focus and is putting the burden on the community for their mistakes.

They will bring in almost twice as much as last year in dues totaling over 1 Million dollars and we as a community will really not see a dime of that since it has already been ear marked for Insurance and Dead Beats (75) who are not paying their dues.

I would really like to see us try to ''CUT COSTs'' in many areas. The clubhouse phone should not cost $800 dollars per year and if we have spent $6,000 dollars last year on paint then where did they use it?

Two Maintenance men that shadow themselves and never finish anything do not amount to much. Why do they fix stuff and never paint it? Why do they tear down the garbage dump but leave it unfinished for weeks on end? Why don?’t they fix the signs, paint the hydrants, fix the falling down garages and paint something?

You know this place would look great with a little paint! But of course that is beyond them they would rather build stuff without permits. They would rather make it appear that they are really doing things?…What they are we don?’t know?….

A little ''Elbow Grease'' in such things as the Condo Building front doors and garages along with painting the parking lot lines would bring a little life into the community. Look at building 130 the owners did it themselves and it looks great.

They Don?’t Paint and they don?’t pick up trash or sweep anything then what do they do?

Why are they always hiding inside somewhere? Why are they always hanging together like a two peas in a pod, why can?’t one guy be on one side of the complex and the other doing something different?


The current board would rather let this community fall apart from ''NO Beautification'' such as painting and cleaning things up. They would rather tear it down instead of fixing, painting, shining, trimming and putting in a little ''Elbow Grease'' into making this community look nicer.

Why are we paying a pool company $8,000 dollars for pool Maintenance and why are we paying two maintenance people over $120,000 dollars a year and a janitor $23,000 dollars a year?

Why does the whole budget get used every year? We never have anything left..... Is someone getting kick backs?

That's $143,000 dollars in Maintenance Personnel$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

What do they really do???????I have not seen any painting in this community in over 7 years.

Why are we paying over 43% Administration and Maintenance costs that will go over 50% these years with the Emergency assessment?

We don?’t need a gold standard management company that would rather put the burden on the community in the form of new Assessments. We need a reasonable standard that looks at cutting cost and uses simple common sense to make decisions which will make this community great.

We have forgotten the simple things like keeping the community looking nice.

We have all let it fall apart and now we must all come together to bring it back. We remember the days when it was so nice and we have lost that due to neglect.

WE the People Will Come Together to Help Ourselves, Let?’s do it now!
