MORE CONSTRUCTION PROPOSED
A reader submitted the following information about more proposed building at the Fountains.
The old FCC country club building is intended be torn down.
.
Concert Golf plans to build another 350 new homes, of 153 townhouses & 197 single family homes.

New Site Plan
Sitemonitor
.
Is there a much larger copy of that site plan posted somewhere within the Fountains?
.
I looked carefully and do not see any EV charging stations anywhere on that site plan.
.
I heard a rumor that a secret FCO meeting at Fountains Hall that included a zoom link was recently held to discuss the new site plan?
Is this rumor true?
.
Has anyone on the incompetent FCO Board raised any questions regarding the installation of EV charging stations?
With the present FPL electric sub- station located just outside Fountains property be notified and engaged regarding the running of the necessary high voltage power feed lines underground prior to any building construction seems like a no brain solution to me.
.
Knowing the incompetence of the present FCO board members one can probably be sure they will wait to raise the EV charging issue after the construction has been completed sharply raising the cost.
.
Asking for a friend
Hello All,
I received the map sent in email? Curious is this a done deal? Does anyone know what is the proposed time frame for the construction, or who the builder will be?
Also, haven’t heard anything on what the plans are for the now ugly parcel opposite Tivoli?
Any info appreciated, TY
Hi Denise, here is information on the Parcels.
Parcel A – GL Land Banked: This parcel fronts on Jog Road lying north of the Water Management Canal. GL in banking the property has not provided any publicly available information as to when it will be developed. The impact on the Fountains is undetermined at this time. Parcel A is adjacent to Esedra and Versailles Courts.
Parcel B – The Oasis at the Palm Beaches, formerly known as The Lofts at Lake Worth (The County is now referring to as Altis Lake): Is slated to become 318 residential rental units, backing up to the Fountains on the west side of Jog road. Traffic exiting from the Altis Lake will be funneled south on Jog Road. Parcel B is adjacent to Tivoli, D’Este, The Townhouses, Gefion, and Esedra Courts.
Parcel C – Lakewood Cove, formerly known as Lake Worth Crossing: This parcel lies between Tivoli Court and Lake Worth Road and will consist of 70 residential Townhouse Units.
Parcel D – Lakeshore at the Fountains: This parcel lies between Trevi Court and Lake Worth Road and will consist of 192 residential units.
Parcel E – 80 acres. 350 homes are planned (153 townhomes, 197 single family homes).
Hi Nancy, thank you for the information. Lots going on, I can’t wait until it’s complete and our community looks beautiful again!
where is this parcel B, haven’t heard of this one before
Parcel B is scheduled to be 318 APARTMENTS. To be known as “The Oasis at the Palm Beaches.” (The County is referring to as Altis Lake.) The Parcel backs up to the Fountains on the west side of Jog Road. Parcel B is adjacent to Tivoli, D’Este, The Townhouses, Gefion, and Esedra Courts.
i know about parcel B, it was a typo error, my question should have read “what is parcel E, about, doesn’t seem to be any info
A copy of Parcel E was given out at a meeting. I believe it was a FCO monthly meeting. 350 units consisting of single family homes and townhouses. You can see Parcel E here:
https://www.fountainsnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Fountains-Additional-Housing.pdf
SO nice to be on our own. no FCO.
Peter, I’d love to know more – would you be willing to elaborate on your statement? I’m curious to know where you see the greatest improvement(s). Thanks!
Greatest improvement not dealing with FCO personal. It always seamed like we were a bother . That was my own experiences. They worked for us.
To all concerned ; I have been an owner in good standing for over 13 years. I had the rare displeasure of attending an Esedra Court board meeting on Monday March 21 which should be classified as a disorderly circus .
.
The disrespect and tone used by your president and permitted by the other elected board members reflects very poorly on the membership and the real agenda of the board, who incidentally are suppose to protect the interest of all the owners. No wonder the participation of owners at these meetings are so low and interest at a minimum. Too often the full time residents benefit from decisions while we winter residents are not here! Some of these decisions from the past are in fact quite self serving.
.
We all appreciate the voluntary work done by the Board of Directors and hours required to perform this work but this does not warrant power trips and outrageous behaviour from neither parties. Not having the benefit of an agenda, I waited politely until the topic of elevator issue was terminated and landscaping came up. When only plants were discussed, I raised my hand like a school child, and drew attention to a much more serious issue the lack of a fence and security. We pay to live in a gated and secure community. This should be a priority of our board and the entire F.C.O.
.
Shame on them,I know what do next I will never be intimidated again. Justice is for everyone.

The Fountains South Properties Owners ASSOCIATION (“FSPOA”) is pleased to announce the launch of the “FSPOA” web site, Yesterday , Thursday March 24, 2022 1 P.M.
You can visit the site by using the following link, https://fountainssouthpoa.com.
.
The web site is a product of the Associations commitment for transparency and providing information for not only the 509 members they represent but any party who wishes to understand our Master Declaration, of 1983, that require the FSPOA Board of Directors to do “Anything Reasonably Necessary to Promote, Common Health, Safety, or Welfare of the unit owners of the Fountains South”.
This requirement falls exclusively on the shoulders of the FSPOA Board of Directors who are reenergizing the Association to fulfill its responsibility.
.
Respectfully Submitted,
.
Richard B. Ward
Vice President “FSPOA”
Fred,
Thank you for your frankness and identifying some root causes for the disfunction of governance in your association. I believe that other associations are more respectful to their residents and are better at setting priorities for the benefit of the community.
Knowing what to do next is a question that can have many answers, so do not give up!
Understand that you are not alone and you can influence change by appealing to your community for support.
.
OH!
You may be interested in what other associations are doing to better support their resident.
Please go to https://fountainssouthpoa.com and see how the FSPOA is moving forward in addressing the the 509 residents they represent.
.

Fred,
.
This is how one person can make a difference if one is willing to persist in a cause. Two examples follow.
.
March 25, 2022
From: RW – To: FCO
.
At the last FCO meeting (March9, 2022) Ben spoke openly about a “letter of Intent” from an attorney including hourly rates, i.e $325.00, additional services fees, as well as that he was to work with the FCO on, addressing Parcel E
and work on negotiations for the potential purchase of real property from Concert. I am told that client attorney privilege was removed by this very public announcement to the BOD and attendees to the meeting.
.
The Board authorized engaging the attorney for a fee not to exceed $25,000, even though Ben had advised that the last attorney engaged by the FCO, under the same limit, in dealing with the other parcels under development surpassed that limit very early on in the process and costs significantly increased.
.
I understand that Versailles BOD approved hiring an attorney for dealing with the consequences of Parcel E.
There may be some benefit economy of scale if FCO attorney would also be working with Versailles?
.
That being said I am requesting, as a resident of the Fountains, that forward me a copy of the letter of intent as soon as possible.
.
Thank you as always for your prompt attention.
.
Respectfully,
Richard
.
April 2, 2022
From: RW- To: FCO
.
How time flies.
Just following up on my request of March 25th.Oh! Since my e-mail of the 25th I understand that it is unlikely that Versailles would be using the same attorney, so any suggestion of economy of scale is mute.
.
Thank you in advance for your prompt attention.
.
Respectfully,
.
Richard

April 13, 2022
From: FCO – To: RW
.
Richard,
Attached is a copy of the engagement letter. It is also on the FCO website under the Information tab.
.
Fred,
The engagement letter is now available to the community.
.
Will the results of engaging an attorney be comparable to the past legal attempts to offset the impacts of the residential development within the community, at significant cost with minimal benefit? Only time will tell.
Note: That although the FCO President verbally indicated that the engagement would include future negotiations with Concert regarding the acquisition of real property by the FCO, the letter provided no such indication.
.
Example 2.)
.
At the April 13, 2022 meeting of the FCO a single resident questioned when the last FCO Financial Audit was conducted?
The answerer was three years ago. Pressed by the attendees, the Audit is to be made available on the FCO web-site (as of 4/18/22 not posted).
It will be interesting to see the audit comments and what, if any issues have been addressed.
.
Transparency!
.
Respectfully submitted,
.
Rich Ward
Rich
what is the latest on the above.
Richard
.
I would like to commend both you and Steve Jordan as well as your other board members for creating an informational website that is open to all residents of The Fountains.
.
Although the current president of the FCO states repeatedly that he is trying to unite the entire Fountains community his actions continue to divide the community.
.
Fountain’s residents are currently living in an ungated community. The current FCO in my opinion is unfit to deal with Concert Golf.
.
Currently three courts have had the wisdom to leave the FCO and I suspect more courts will do so as well in the near future?
.
Hopefully the FSPOA will be successful in following the money that the current FCO seems to be hiding and make good use of the residents money for the entire community and not just the south?
.
I would like to direct you to the minutes of the January 11, 2017 FCO meeting minutes where the issue of an audit was first raised.
.
Not only are residents still waiting to see the results of that audit, but after five years I believe it is time for another forensic audit so the two audit figures can be compared.
.
The current FCO president recognizes that costs have increased but fails to believe that costs have increased for a security fence.
.
Disgusted in the North
Did someone say AUDIT. Nothing to see here.Dont worry the FCO will take care of everythin. Why do people allways think something isn’t on the up and up with the FCO. I WONDER !!!!!!!!. Get your handes out of the cookie jar.

Rich is probably busy with their superior FSPOA website but the latest from what I’ve been told by a very knowledgeable resident is the audit from 2016 has finally been posted on the FCO website after residents have been waiting for it for almost six years. I’ve been told that the audit was signed off by a company Price and Associates of St. Petersburg, Florida.
.
Does anyone know how much they charged, how long it took them to complete the audit, and when they were paid?
.
Disgusted in the North
You should log onto the FCO website. Under the “FCO Information” drop down box, you may find that information in the Board Meeting Minutes. For example, in the 1/11/2017 minutes it was stated: “Old Business —Robert Miller said last month he had raised the question of an FCO audit and asked if we had obtained any information. President Harris said the price for a forensic audit will be between $15,000 to $20,000. He said he would like time to get some other prices and will have a firm price at the next meeting.”
Disgusted in the North,
How right are you about the FSPOA. The northern courts are meal tickets for the southern courts. The biggest problem facing the northern courts is not Concert Golf but the FSPOA. In 5 to 8 years my prediction is that there will be a dead end at the bridge, southern roads will be repaved, along with other improvements (mostly paid for by the northern residents) and the Fountains will no longer be one community.
.
If the FCO President truly wanted the Fountains to be ONE then he would begin discussions with the FSPOA to quitclaim all of the FSPOA property to all residents of the Fountains to create ONE FOUNTAINS COMMUNITY. This of course will never happen because the FSPOA Masterplan is to milk the north dry, and with a straight face say thank for being our cash cow. I would not be surprised if the FSPOA receives money from the FCO the build the dead end at the bridge.
.
The apathy is rampant in the north the FSPOA knows this and is playing a waiting game. Sad but very true!
Disgusted in the North … Painfully disgusted in the North … Complaining, but afraid to post under your real name. Every unit owner contributes the same amount of money to the FCO, albeit North or South. The North generates most of the security calls (75%). The North generates most of the calls for maintenance (80%). Do you hear the South complaining about the added costs that the North generates?
.
Most of the Club members resides in the South. We should ALL support the Club. This is what attracts new residents to The Fountains CC, as well as the increasing our property values. The FSPOA was incorporated on 4/19/1983. The FSPOA is not “milking” anyone. The FSPOA simply represents the interests of the 509 residential members that live in the 10 South courts.
.
https://www.floridacommunitynetwork.net/fcnbrd_list.php?mastertable=fcnhoa&masterkey1=768023
Lady McBeth… Obviously you know nothing about the history of the Fountains, the club, or the FSPOA. The point you are making about security and maintenance makes no sense. There will be in a short time a dead end at the bridge and the South will have their own property manager. The FSPOA will finally be separated from the “WHITE TRASH NORTH” as it has been called by many of the South, so keep feeding off of the northern residents until YOUR new club is built.
Dear Arnold, You can easily confirm those statistics at any FCO meeting or at the FCO office. You are obviously repeating and perpetuating hateful rhetoric (“white trash north”). Perhaps it would be beneficial for all if everyone supported a unified Fountains CC, and stop with the North and South divisiveness. I’m sorry you feel this way. Should that “bridge” ever come to fruition, the FSPOA stands ready to represent the best interests of the 509 residents that reside in the south. Sincerely, Nancy McBeth (not Shakespeare’s Lady Macbeth)
Dear, Lady Macbeth… EXACTLY…. I am glad you stated it so! “The FSPOA stands ready to represent the best interests of the 509 residents that reside in the south” it should also be mentioned that the FSPOA only cares about the FSPOA area and NOT the Fountains as a whole. The North pays 82% into everything the FCO does which means the North is paying 82% to maintain FSPOA owned property.
.
You also stated “The North generates most of the security calls (75%) and he North generates most of the calls for maintenance (80%)”. This also could be true, but as I stated before the North pays 82% into security and as for maintenance my dear, get your facts straight each court pays for their own costs.
.
You also mentioned “Should that bridge ever come to fruition”? It is not if but when….
.
Lady Macbeth speak the truth not your propaganda and thank you for proving my point that the white trash North is the FSPOA’s meal ticket.
Sincerely, Arnold Stang (not from the Chunky commercial).
Ahhhh
.
Arent’t we glad The Fountains is so peaceful! 😊

UPDATE 12:41 p.m. Monday, April 25, 2022: We just received the arrest report from the Palm Beach County Clerk of Courts. We are publishing the report, written by the arresting PBSO Deputy, in its entirety. We note that suspect Robert A. Levine shares the same name as another Kings Point resident arrested for an attack on a neighbor several months ago. This arrest, according to PBSO, is a different Robert A. Levine. The Robert A. Levine arrested Sunday is 74 years old. The Robert A. Levine arrested in November for attacking a resident with a pool cue is younger.

Ahhhh
.
It’s Shangri-La south of the bridge.
There is a perpetual enforceable easement providing access over the bridge on on the roadwork in the south to all residents of the Fountains of Palm Beach. I have seen this document.
May we all see it please.
TIVOLI CT.——FILTH AND DIRT EVERYWERE . We have a new maintenance person (MAN)and a new cleaning person (woman) who is a cleaner. I have never seen the cleaning person clean anything at building 4120 or seen our maintainance person around doing anything. There is filth and dust and debris everywhere. I don’t know about the other buildings.
.
Just because they are doing work on our building doen’t mean our hallway and wimdows should be so filthy. IF IS DIRTY IT SHOULD BE CLEANed. The dirt in our hallways is BLACK dirt. Who is making sure our maintenance and cleaning person are doing their job. It appears to me no one.
.
We all pay good money to live here, not good money to be wasted on a half ASS job.
Nancy, You are right that you can get financial information from the FCO office. Better yet you can view FCO monthly and yearly financials, on the FCO website. Read the financials and you will see how uneven the numbers are. Look at landscaping, tree trimming, fertilizer etc. Residents should not have to rely on going to the office for information.
.
I applaud the FSPOA for having a website that is all about transparency. Ben Geller wants to preach that this community must be United! Give me a break! Explain why it took 5+ years to post the audit? How did Scott Harris get away with telling the community at a board meeting the audit would cost between $15000 & $20000. Scott wanted time to see if he could find a better price.
.
The audit that is posted on the website is ridiculous. The audit never would have been posted had FCO’s feet not been held to the fire. No way what they posted is a full forensic audit of the FCO. I’m not a numbers person but to me that looks like numbers provided to him from Debbie?
.
What is up with the FOUNTAINS OF PALM BEACH community selling itself as a gated community? NO WAY this a gated and secure community. WAKE UP PEOPLE! Stop paying for services you are not getting. There is no security company on Earth that could be hired by the FCO that can make us secure when our borders are wide open. Look at Jog Road and Lake Worth Road. Demand fencing , security & transparency. The FCO is supposed to be representing all 1765 residents equally in this community. Each resident pays equally; however it’s obvious the North is suffering greatly, getting no support.
.
I’m not sure how many of you know but the FCO is forcing Tivioli to pay toward fencing to keep our community gated. Keeping the community gated and secure is a FCO Community expense. They justify paying for the roads, lighting, landscaping & guard gate that Concert owns. FCO can’t pay to keep residents secure. Oh I forgot there’s no transparency with the FCO so many of you have no idea how they work or how your money is being spent.
Susan,
Lady Macbeth and the hard core members of the FSPOA are still tainted with the effects of the the former FCC “Kool Aid”. All they care about is their club and that the North perpetuate funding 82% to maintain Shangri-La.
My family has been residents of The Fountains since the early 70’s. Things are not now anywhere near where they were then.
.
If there is so much animosity in the “north” vs the “south”, would it not make sense for the northern courts to secede and form our own condo management association?
Arnold, I Had forgotten about the kool Aid drinkers. Too much bullshit & inequities happening here . LOL 🤪
Susan and Keith both of you are right. Many have forgotten or are unaware of the awful acts of the villainous former FCC and the Kool Aid residents of the FSPOA. We the North must create our own condo management association and POA to look at our self interests like the selfish FSPOA.
.
Look at the current presidents and board members of the courts from the FSPOA in the FCO, many are former board members of the bastardly FCC and that says it all. I said it before and will say it again the biggest threat to our Northern Courts is not Concert but it is the FSPOA.
Right Lady McBeth.
FYI
The unthinkable has finally happened. It was just a matter of time. A mentally unstable person walked into our “gated” community.
.
There was a breakin in the Atriums a week ago.
.
It was talked about at the last FCO board of directors meeting that the person was NOT a resident of the Fountains. Six Palm Beach County police cars responded and he was arrested. Our security was unaware anything was happening in the community.
.
Wouldn’t you think the FCO would find that to be important? Important enough to at least notify all residents. It is the FCO’S job to keep all residents informed. No one living here is safe, it is sad but true. The Fountains of Palm Beach is no longer a secure gated community.
How do you know he was mentally unstable?
Thank you Susan for the breaking news.
Shangri-La has been breached, the Atriums attacked!!!!! Quick FSPOA blow up the bridge.
Would someone kindly clarify exactly what happened at the Atriums break in. I have heard multiple completely different versions, from some one squatting at a home there, to 3 different homes broken into, to some watching a washer & dryer being moved and finally to a home broken into where resident held perpetrator at gunpoint until police arrived. Kinda reminds me of the game “telephone” we played at summer camp. Anyone?
Ellen Brehne,
I heard it was a resident from a southern court that cause the break in. It is a result of the lingering side effect of the former FCC Kool Aid.
Ellen
.
It appears that your concerns have been heard.
.
The following notice was sent out earlier this afternoon
.
To Fountains Residents,
.
Unfortunately, there was a recent break-in at two homes in the Atriums Community. The intruder was captured and immediately arrested by the PBSO. The incident is currently being investigated by the PBSO and GuardOne Security in order to gain a better picture of what lead up to the break-in and to determine what, if anything, the Community can do to help deter this type of activity from occurring again.
.
Once we receive a final report from the PBSO and GuardOne Security, we will share further details of the incident with you as well as any recommendations they may have that will increase the quality of safety in the Community.
.
One simple way we all can help our Community is for everyone to report anything they see that seems suspicious to our Security so they can investigate it immediately.
.
Best Regards,
.
Ben Geller, President FCO
Debbie Poulette, Executive Director
Vito Senese, Executive Director
.
The current president of the FCO is wondering what can be done to deter the recent rash of break ins?
.
Perhaps he should just take a ride around the perimeter of The Fountains to acknowledge that The Fountains is no longer a secure gated community.
.
It was the FCO’s incompetence in the sale of the former North Course to Concert Golf that doesn’t give a rats a$$ about security that is now the root cause of frequent break ins.
.
Why are Fountain residents paying for security when there is essentially no security and anyone can just walk right in?
.
Disgusted in the North
David,
.
Ben Geller used the term “mentally unstable” person when he shared that information 3 weeks ago at the board meeting. It was great to receive information to all residents via email about the break-in’s and the breach of security. Better late than never I say.
.
It’s unfortunate the FCO refuses to conduct all Board meetings via Zoom. All meetings should be conducted via Zoom. Residents should receive email blasts of important information in a timely fashion. It’s FREE!
.
I’m wondering if anyone has noticed that Concert has mowed the disgusting and overgrown conditions behind Trevi? Also on Fountain’s Dr N by the driving range?
.
It’s interesting that the club has functions happening this weekend. What is wrong with us for not requiring they keep the property looking nice for the residents that live here?
.
Why does the FCO close the Melaleuca gate for Country Club functions at great inconvenience to residents?
.
With the recent break-in’s it’s obvious what needs to be done. Like “disgusted” pointed out we need to have fencing installed ASAP. This is NOT A GATED SECURE COMMUNITY. Concert needs to pay their fair share toward community expenses such as roads, landscaping and lighting. How many of you know that Concert owns the roads, landscaping and lighting? Do you realize we pay for it all? We pay well over 1 million dollars for security alone. Concert doesn’t pay a penny. To add insult to injury we pay them rent for the Lake Worth Gate we built, gifting them $500,000.00
.
I wish more residents in this community would insist on transparency of the FCO. Insist information be sent via email and FCO MEETINGS BE HELD VIA ZOOM. I realize many people work and more of you would be involved if you could view meetings around your schedules. You’re paying fees to the FCO to keep you informed. Hopefully things will change now that you have a NEW Executive Director of the FCO.
Concert mowed the area around Trevi due to the efforts of Rob Jacobs, the VP of the court. He contacted PBC Code Enforcement who threatened Concert with a substantial financial penalty if the area was not “cleaned up” within 30 days.
I do think that the FCO atty. should become a bit more pro active where installation of chain link fencing is concerned at parcels “B” and “C”.
David, That’s awesome news! Kudos to Rob for taking the bull by the horns and reporting Concert to PBC Code Enforcement.
.
Every time I come in-and-out the Lake Worth gate it breaks my heart to see the destruction and horrific conditions. Trevi, Tivoli and Deste residents being impacted the worst. Scares me to death to even think that they want to destroy more of the community by taking down the Country Club and adding an additional 350 units.
.
I recently viewed the YouTube video where Concert did a townhall meeting February 27, 2020. The meeting was hosted by Scott Harris and Greg Weiss the commissioner was present.
.
I suggest everybody in the community view that meeting, it’s available on the FCO website. It’s deplorable how Concert stood there telling residents about the beautiful fountains they will be installing in the new lakes. They assured residents they would be doing that to prevent green stagnant water, and beautify the community.
.
You will also hear them talking about the beautiful plantings that are going to be planted immediately to make sure residents don’t lose their beautiful views.. They even went so far as naming the types of shrubbery that will be being planted immediately.
.
I think we all know none of that is true. We were lied to! It’s scary to think that they actually want to knock down the Country Club and build an additional 350 more homes.
.
The FCO Attorney definitely should have been more proactive from the get-go. There were several legal options available. Why they were not exercised I’ll never know. Was it the Attorney or the FCO that chose not?
Apathy is an epidemic that has spread throughout the Fountains Community as individuals abdicated their ability to influence change, to others.
.
Thousands of personal choices have brought everyone in this community to where we are today. Single residential Owners, Multi property-owner Investors, renters all have reasons for being here.
.
The cure for apathy is participation. Participation in any way can make a difference.
More ways than ever are available to participate in lieu of attending a meeting in person.
It is your decision on how to prioritize your time, self -fulfilling activities or contributing knowledge, ability, skills, and wisdom for the benefit of the community.
.
The pride that was once prevalent in the Fountains can be restored if the will to do so is expressed.
.
New residence will mushroom throughout the community bring new vitality and with-it elimination of the stigma of a faiding lifestyle.
.
“Carpi Diem” Seize the Day, make the most of the present time but add give some thought to the future!
.
I can assure you that Instruments of change are being forged for the common interest within the community.
.
Stay well and engaged!
Rich
Another inconvenience for Northern Court residents!
.
They now seem to keep coming with increasing frequency. 🙁
.
Perhaps all northern owners should demand a $5.00 inconvenience credit on the monthly maintenance/security fees paid to the FCO?
Not only is there now a lack of adequate security but the increasing limited use of the automated gate.

As a resident of Tivoli Court and a Licensed Real Estate Broker I personally feel that all the Courts in the Fountains should consider talking about eliminating rentals except seasonal and have the units be owner -occupied ..it does increase equity value.. any opinions ????
Trevi Court has limited the rental %age to 18% and mandated that if a unit is purchased it may not be rented for 2 years and only of we are below 18% at that time. It has cut down on “purchase for investment” considerably.
.
Several weeks ago a prospective buyer went through the mandatory interview where this protocol was explained. After the explanation, 1/3rd of the way through the interview, he politely stood up, shook my hand and declared he wasn’t interested any longer and walked out.
.
I agree with your “no rental” policy. However,trying to reverse the policy that has been “grandfathered” in would be a monumental task
Lowell
.
I believe that your idea is a good one and would be a solid improvement for those on Tivoli Court.

“Apathy is an epidemic that has spread throughout the Fountains Community as individuals abdicated their ability to influence change, to others.”
.
I strongly believe the answer to you is what the residents of three northern courts have wisely realized.
.
The FCO is the problem and as soon as other courts vote it out and kill it for good and have a professional management company take over dealing with Concert and treating all courts and residents fairly will the apathy subside.
A professional management company will not be taking a three month summer vacation.
The Fountains is presently an ungated community.
How is this issue being addressed over the summer?
Dangerous concrete walkways were recently discussed at an FCO meeting.
Will ignoring this problem for three months and keeping residents uninformed make this community any safer for walkers?
The FCO has been a useless management entity for a long time and as soon as more residents come to that realization will the quality of living in The Fountains begin to improve.

Howard & Lowell,
.
You both make some very good points and in doing so, support my contentions regarding self-determination via engagement.
.
A number of options have now presented themselves, as a result of the FCC land assets being permitted and sold to residential Developers, by the joint venture partnership between Concert/Ridgewood.
.
The FCO has been continually responsive, rather than adopting proactive initiatives.
.
To rehash what has transpired is not productive, but what is productive, is to learn from experience.
.
In a previous post “I assured you that instruments of change are being forged for the common interest within the community. “
I can also assure you that a “professional management company” is not quite the panacea that one would expect.
I have in the past given very detailed information on the pro and cons of for-profit Property Management Companies, so to regurgitate it now is pointless.
.
Going forward, anyone dealing with the future land development, must have a vested interest, in the outcome, not a professional property management agreement.
.
Make your voices heard and encourage your neighbors to participate in crafting a new future for the fountains.
