Slow Mo

Our friends @ WLIC can be a bit slow two recent examples personal examples:

• I went to the office on a Tuesday to file for a permit to do some tuck pointing on my seawall.  Did the application and provided the required deposit.  Told them (Bob/Erica) I'd like to get started on the weekend.  I was told I would get the green light after one of the directors did a "pre-inspection".  I didn't hear from them by Friday, so I tripped on down to the office.  No, the inspection apparently had not occurred and Bob said if I proceeded without said inspection it would be at "my own risk".  Yipes, keeping in mind some of those who recently have run afoul of the WLIC I opted to bypass a weekend of gorgeous weather rather than incur WLIC wrath.  The following Tuesday I received a voicemail, exactly one week after my application, that I was good to go.  Oh well. 
• More than six weeks ago I asked a Director if he could give me the financials for the new Pavillion/C Point construction project.  I just wanted general numbers...like how much it was projected to cost and how was it being paid for, something I thought would be generally available.  I followed up with him via telephone...and by now, multiple emails.  Nothing, other than promises it was forth coming.  No, I haven't been to any recent Board meetings, I have either had other commitments or been out of town on business.  Maybe they have discussed the financials...you would think?  Don't get me wrong, I think this Board has done some fine work...with one exception, keeping the membership informed...and yes I have told them that at a Board meeting...and yes a few Board members mentioned they could do a better job...to no avail.
