Dear Editor:
I was stunned to read the remark of Walden Lake Community Association President Jan Griffin in your paper that money saved from switching management companies was going toward eradicating the potato vine in Walden Lake.
I was at the Sept. 30 WLCA meeting, and I didn’t hear the board discuss or vote on this issue. I did hear it addressed by one of our residents. I didn’t think Griffin had the authority to commit HOA monies without a majority of the directors’ votes.
As invasive as this potato vine is, and I am not saying that it is not a concern, but really, we have bigger issues at the moment, such as the controversy over the changing management companies. And let us not forget the possible invasion of new residences and facilities being built in our community and in our back yards as proposed by Visions Golf. Thus far, residents’ concerns regarding the latter issue are not being addressed, and questions are not being answered by some of the current board members.
So potato vine, I guess you win this round.
Walden Lake residents, you really need to attend the next WLCA meeting at 6 p.m. Oct. 21.
