With the economy down and most companies and familes trimming their budgets, but our HOA team wants to hire more staff (even as the growth in our community has slowed down at rapid pace):

1 Admin for HOA office (FT)(this one might make sense)
1 asst Club Director (FT)
1 Pool Manager (FT seasonal)
1 CPO for pools (PT seasonal)

3 asst Party Planners (PT) (this is a total joke, we should not even have the FT Party Planner as it is)


Do you feel the Daybreak Residents are being fleeced? I doubt CCMC or KL would treat the budget as they do if it were all their money...

your thoughts...

I think its time for some fall house cleaning up at the HOA.

I think it is ridiculous, especially in the activity planning department. It's frustrating. I could do twice as much with 1/4 of the budget without any paid assistants! We have a community approaching thousands of residents! But they don't want to help, why? Because the entire philosophy of the party planning department is WRONG! We can't even staff the events we have! They are bribing people with free admission and food at events they don't even want to go to in the first place. Personally, I just don't know what we can do aside from outright revolution. sheesh.

I agree, some house cleaning is in order... beginning with the party planners. The HOA is clearly fullfilling K.L.'s agenda rather than resident needs. After all, it must be nice for marketing to say we have event planners to gain interest in our community on our dime.
Just out of curiousity, has anyone looked into ways that we as homeowners can go up against CCMC? There must be a way to stop the insanity without killing all of our amenities in the process.
Speaking of which, when they discussed the liabilities and insurance increases for opening the pool and splash pond to "swim at your own risk", how much more could insurance and such really cost? A lot of communities and hotels don't have lifeguards and a neighborhood right next to daybreak has a pool maintained solely by residents and is a swim at your own risk so I'm not understanding the BOD rational...

One guaranteed way to get a change started - we get as many of us who are committed to making the community a better place to refuse to pay their next quarter's dues. CCMC will threaten all kinds of repercussions but a change to the CCMC management and mis-management will be forthcoming almost immediately. Would you invest a $15 late fee to see those changes?

Didn't they also mention five PT employees to watch the splash pool, too?
