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!
