Help: How to fix a one man condo association board?

| Budgets & Finance |   Board of Directors |  


Question:

We currently have a condo association board that is comprised of 5 people. The president does not perform his fiduciary responsibilities. None of the quarterly “late fees” were collected for 2009. It is clearly stated on our payment stubs, “late fee of $25.00 if 10 days late”. Because some of the people who are late are his "buds", he does not collect any of these monies. All late fees for 2009 were not collected, or bills sent. The 3 men on the condo board are all friends and boat-owners. Therefore, the yearly dock fees are never re-assessed. The dock fees are on a annual lease basis. One of the board members had his boat out of the water for a month and did not pay for that month. Nothing is being done because he is a board member and "bud" of the president. He says he does not owe this money. One resident is late on (2) quarterlies to date. Nothing has been done. April is around the corner, and I do not foresee the resident catching up. Shouldn’t a lien be placed on the property? We voted on sending a bill to a resident who put us in a position to have an attorney letter sent because he hadn't complied with hurricane shutters in 5 years! The bill was never sent to him, even after it was voted on. The unpaid fees and dues total $1413.00. Money that is fairly due to the condo association. The president does whatever he pleases. He knows his "group" controls the vote because it's three against two. None of the rules that we have spent time on revising, and sending to attorney for approval, are enforced. The president is self-serving and wants to be friends with everybody so he does not want to rock the boat. Therefore, not enforcing anything. We had a wonderful property management company before his reign and they quit when he was elected because they refused to work with him. He has chosen not to have a management company, therefore, he runs the place like it’s his own. He changed the meeting times to accommodate his work schedule. Recently, without notice he changed the Saturday meetings from 6:00 pm to 5:00 pm, full well knowing that I, as a board member, could not attend because I work until 5:00 pm. Even if we acquired a property management company at this point, they would not attend a Saturday meeting. We always had them on the 2nd Tuesday of the month but he changed it to accommodate himself. Can you advise us on how to make things right? He is OUT OF CONTROL!
