The HOA meeting this
past week was both interesting and enlightening.
As the meeting came to
order, the minutes of the past meeting were adjusted and the
treasury report was read. Discussions of a new
landscaper took up quite a bit of time. It was very
interesting to me that our president, Dolores Thompson, came to the
table with options on new landscapers that are less expensive and
would do a more thorough job as she was met with oppositions from
other board members. The treasure is reading the treasury
report and claiming that the Association is broke and here was an
idea on how to save money.
I would like to thank
the additional 5 neighbors that showed up to the meeting! It
was great to see more people getting involved! One of the
attendees is on the AC Committee and turned in a formal
complaint
about on AC unit mounted on a flat, non-tiled roof. Other
members expressed concerns about our inspector and the numerous
mistakes that are made on a consistent basis. These mistakes
are causing stress and aggravation to homeowners. I happen to
be one of those people.
This is a "homeowner"
meeting. It was voiced to me by all attendee's that they are
really ticked about the "secret" part of the meeting. By
Arizona state law, the board members may choose to close a portion
of the meeting to consider legal advice from an attorney, pending or
contemplated litigation, and personal, health or financial
information about an individual member. It seemed to many of
us that maybe there is more to those meetings.
Homeowners are now
allowed to speak for only 3 minutes, each. When it was my time
to speak about what I wanted to speak about I was met with
consistent and continual interruptions from Kate at Jomar and Darren
our secretary because they did not like what I had to say. It
was my 3 minutes and if that is all the time that we are allowed to
voice our opinions' at our "homeowners" meeting, we should be
allowed to say what ever we want about any subject uninterrupted!!!!
Jomar works for the members and is there to take direction from the
board. Not to dictate the meeting and its members!!!
The members that show
up to meetings should be given a copy of the minutes of the prior
meeting, a copy of the agenda and a copy of the treasure's report.
Jomar is paid a whole lot of money and should provide us with this
information. It's our money and we want to see where it is
going.
Every homeowner that
came to the meeting had great input and great ideas! We need
more input!!!!!! Post Away!! |
