So I came here and I read your reply and see it really is true. Don't they both make money from those places? And we pay them? There must be a good reason for it.

Or if it is supposed to be that way, it ain't happening. And why do we call them center managers if they are really vendors? And why do we pay them a salary to run their own business? If they are contracted to run the center then they get their money from their business. We pay them BOTH salaries, perks AND the money from their business to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars. If Glenn can manage the programs, scheduling, invoicing, maintenance upkeep etc, then great. But I suspect residents will scream bloody murder if all that is offered is whatever the business owners decide to offer. I'm open to ideas on how to make this all work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7665973965646326214.post-58532062865003222922008-01-20T09:48:00.000-08:002008-01-20T09:48:00.000-08:00I disagree with your analysis.

We are not leveraging our assets to the fullest.<BR/><BR/>All these problems with the Equestrians (of which I am one) would most likely go away with business principles guiding the centers, not emotion, or greed. I think it would work well for all our centers. <BR/><BR/>We have not had business people on the board in a long time. We have had people with expertise in other areas, but not solid business experience. <BR/><BR/>Give us business plans and run the centers as businesses. That would serve the whole community, not just the people who swim, play tennis or ride horses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
