  • Conflict of Interest Legal Opinion

    The issue of whether Directors who are members of The Meadows Country Club have a conflict of interest (COI) on issues related to TMCC has come up a number of times in the last year. Current and past MCA Presidents hav noted that the MCA has a legal opinion stating these Directors do not have…

  • Notes on Jan 22 MCA Townhall Meeting

    Lots of credit to the MCA for holding the Townhall meeting. As an indicator of its success there was strong support for holding them more frequently than quarterly. Would be great to get another one in before the snowbirds leave in April. LINK to Jan 22 MCA Townhall Meeting recording (also available through the Homeowner…

  • Notes from Jan 9 MCA Board meeting   

    We need to say right off the bat that there is some clear and significant improvements in transparency of information. That is exciting stuff. Transparency is an absolute necessity in our Board getting to the best solutions for the community, and the community being able to understand and support it. There are still some areas…

  • Meadoword article on golf courses

    You may have just received the January Meadoword in your mailbox (it is not yet available online). On page 22, it republishes this article “Homeowners Will Pay The Price For A Backyard Golf Course, One Way Or Another”. Interesting coincidence that we published a post on that issue 3 days ago. Here are our notes…

  • Green Space & Property Values

    One of the most cited arguments made for supporting The Meadows Country Club is that our property values will plummet without TMCC. This view results from misquoting the supporting information, and straw man arguments (inferring anyone against subsidizing TMCC wants to cover the courses with condos). It has recently come up in a Facebook discussion…

  • How MANY are we subsidizing?

    In our last post we wrote about how MUCH MCA Homeowners are subsidizing The Meadows Country Club. In this post we’ll write about how MANY benefit from this. The best way to view this is by household (not number of members) because:1. We pay MCA assessments by household, not by person, 2. Family members pay…

  • TMCC subsidy is HUGE

    In a recent post we provided an analogy of the lease of MCA’s sports complex assets to The Meadows Country Club. If you haven’t read that please click the link and give it a read. It will be good context for this post. This analysis reflects changes from the MCA’s recent announcement that it would…

  • What is our goal?

    We get asked this question from time to time and it is a good question. Our goal is to help MCA Homeowners understand the MCA’s ownership of the sports and dining complex which it purchased from The Meadows Country Club in 2018. We found that any attempts to have a rational, constructive discussion about MCA’s…

  • Notes from Dec 12 MCA Board Meeting

    A video of the meeting is not yet available but when one is we will add a link here. Our comments below only cover certain items we think are noteworthy. We don’t recall if it was ever formally explained at a prior Board meeting, but the Aviva Liasson (Jerry Lazar, who is an MCA resident…
