Bits and Pieces for ED

So, the new road job done at the clubhouse looks good. Or so it seems. Except for the fact that nobody paid attention to the Scheduled Delegates Assembly meeting. 1/2 the road was closed for repair.

So there was the usual heavy traffic and pretty much the parking lot was 1/2 blocked all day.

A close look at the job shows the cracks, again. It is only the first day. What does the future hold? Cheap is expensive.

So lets see if we can put the lifts and elevator situation at the Hasting Pool in proper perspective. First off the Millennium Agreement states that the cost new equipment is to be born by Mr. Levy. Any repairs to the equipment is to be born by UCO. So we are talking big bucks here, somewhere in the vicinity of $75,000 and up. Switching from a lift to an elevator is not going to cost the Village. Fixing the existing lifts will.

So before we go with the plan to to repair these old and decrepit Lifts and not go with an elevator lets rethink the repair of the lifts. The complaint with the lifts is that they seem unsafe, and no body is willing to ride them. Fixing them may fix that problem, replacing them with a Elevator , paid for by WPRF is better. All around.

The additional of an elevator is a major, really major, undertaking.

BTW this situation has been going on unresolved for over a year now, maybe longer. It is time to make a decision and fix the problem. Right now none of the Villagers will ride the lifts to get to the second floor. Actually the second floor is closed

Now lets talk about the Village Cam. State law says that we must have a licensed Cam in the Village. At this time we do not. Your knowledgeable President has decided to continue this even though it is against the Law.  In the mean time he has UCO pay for the training necessary to get Don Foster a License. So after just 18 hours of Online Instruction and a test, we will have a licensed Cam, paid for by UCO, specifically his friend, Dave Israel.

Whoaaa!!

Yes he meets the minimum requirements, but not mine, not yours either. We want more than "No Experience". And you should too. I want some years of experience on the job in that position. This job puts the Cam in a position to cost us or save a lot of money. Let him get a job as a trainee under a real Cam.

Are we not entitled to more that playing nice with Israel's friends?

Perhaps we should rethink the salary for this job. Going cheap is not always the best way.
