BACK TO SQUARE ONE

My original purpose for this Blog was to bring out more of the facts while exposing any half truths and unclear answers when exercised by our management and Board of Directors. It was to help keep our board from lying idle towards owner’s concerns. It was created to help identify your owner’s right to ratify, by vote, on our Village’s substantial additions and material alterations that were denied to you by previous boards. It tries to make our management more accountable for their actions and was thought to be needed because our newsletter was never published in a timely manner. I felt the people in our Village also needed a means to express themselves. Pitifully, for fear of reprisals, most have to do it anonymously. I will continue to post comments within the same guidelines that have been previously set forth with the hope that someday people here can agree to disagree without being targeted.
I’ve tried to make every discourse be based on solid facts and posed questions from those particulars.
A board member’s wife made the comment recently that” it’s too bad the synopsis writer of this blog can’t take a more object view.” She right because for the most part I try to let a reader derive their own opinion about an issue. I try giving all the facts available and pose from them legitimate questions. But if she wants a synopsis about the current state of affairs that our Village has with our general manager, I’ll try to provide this simple one just for her.
For years our Village has encountered numerous problems with management. Many were with maintaining various entities of our common grounds, especially with the pool facilities and lawn care. Six months ago the majority of the voting owners elected four board members whose main campaign promises were to hold management accountable for their actions and show an active concern towards owners comments. Because they held to these promises, they have been made the bad guys by management and some senior board members. Friends of the GM and these certain senior board members have tried to rid three of the four directors by way of a recall. At best it was done in a most despicable way and failed to succeed. We are now left with a very disgruntled board that just needs to get on with the business at hand and either vote our general manager out or vote him in.
