Thumbs up to directors

The sad condition of our amenities did not happen overnight and obviously was not addressed adequately by former Boards. I commend our present Board for taking on this long overdue problem in an attempt to make Lake Monticello an even better place to live. We have an opportunity to improve our quality of life and present an upgraded community that we are all proud to call home.
It disappoints me that former members of the Board in leadership positions have chosen not to support this project. They certainly had their chance to address this issue during their tenure but apparently didn’t have either the interest or drive to allow the lake to reach its full potential as a community. I certainly appreciated their willingness to serve on the Board but we should not mistake activity for achievement.
Since its inception, Lake Monticello has been marketed as an amenity community as the lake and golf course were here well before 99 percent of our present homes. Somewhere along the line our community has lost sight of our purpose. We have an opportunity to turn our outdated and rundown facilities into modern and attractive venues. New dining opportunities, playground areas, and improved recreation and meeting spaces are just a yes vote away for a better quality of life at the lake.
