Tonight the Live Oak Board voted unanimously to disband the Gate Enhancement Committee so the Guard House issue is dead at this time.
However, after the first of January, when a new board has been installed for the Live Oak HOA, gate improvements will again be investigated. However, they made clear that any new gate committee will not have the same leadership.
They may also require that anyone who wants a Guard House must present a petition signed by 51% of the owners behind the gates before proceeding with this issue.
So that's where it stands right now.

Gates Enhancement Committee Meeting on 10/9/08
The first meeting of the committee on gate enhancement was somewhat of a surprise to all who attended. Most of the meeting was run by the president of the La Verne Live Oak HOA. Which was not correct, but when he, it appeared in exasperation, asked the chairman if he was ever going to do something the meeting heated up.
We were informed that the only information to go to the board of the HOA was to be from him and that all of the committee members had no say in whatever was recommended.
We did feel as if we were in the presence of a dictator.
When a member of the committee voiced concern and opposition, the chairman became very loud and informed all of us that if we did not agree with him we were off of the committee and that that member was kicked off right then and there because the board of the HOA had given him the power by making him Chairman.
It is apparent that if we ever expect anything to be done about the gates that the majority of the homeowners that live within the gates may want, it cannot be done with that person as chairman of this important committee. Most of the people concerned strongly feel that a survey should be conducted as soon as possible to ask the important question of whether or not there should be a guard shack (house or whatever) and guard, get that out of picture and then and only then can we get on with the problem of maintenance, or rebuilding or whatever of the gates.
This should be a decision of all the homeowners within the gated community. I might add that right now with the financial picture the way it is there are many who cannot afford any expense added to their lives and that those who want to add more to the gates to add a guard house/guard, beautify or anything else for their own ego massaging is really self-centered and thoughtless.
I would hope all that feel the way we do would try to appear at the next La Verne / Live Oak HOA Meeting (10/29/08 at the La Verne Community Center) and voice your concern.
