We note that (like the previous meeting's minutes) there was no listing of who actually attended the October Board Meeting in the Minutes that came with the (as usual) late assessment notices.
Thus we take it as given that, like the previous meeting, the only attendees were art therapist Eddie Foss and Mara Feldman-Fox, and will post it as such in our Annotated Minutes.
It does raise the question on how anything could be voted on since only 1/3rd of the Board was present! A quorum requires a majority vote of the Board. One out of three ain't a majority.
In a related note, it seems odd that landscaping is going up 50% since Eddie's excuse for keeping the $10 a month '58 Basement living space is that he's doing it, pitiful as his efforts are.
We note that the assessments are going up by 5% for a total of $2,245 per year.
This is only slightly above the $1800 a year offered by M for Eddie's $10 a month '58 Basement living space, and far less than the $3,600 a year offered for the matching-payments '58 Back Room deal which would allow Eddie to keep the Front Room.
Considering SC's long-in-lis-pendens unit is finally being foreclosed, it behooves the Board, if it is truly acting in the best interests of the condo, to consider all financial alternatives, especially since quite a number of assessment payments have been late (including Board Members' payments).
Amazingly-enough, M has NEVER been late or missed a payment...unlike the Board.
Simply raising assessments for people who already have problems paying is not the answer.
A financial aid manager like Diego Arce and business analyst like Carol Krengelis would know that...except they weren't at the meeting!As you might have guessed, I have not received a reply.
And if they were at the meeting, it shows an unbelievable level of fiscal ineptitude to take this course of action instead of accepting M's gracious offer.
We note there's no discussion or confirmation of additional funds to repair claimed new damage to Eddie's $10 a month '58 Basement living space, as mentioned in the previous Minutes.
If money has been or is being allocated it should be in the Minutes.
Otherwise it looks like a Stroger-style cover up.
We also note there was no discussion as to who the owner of the derelict entertainment center in the '58 Laundry Room is, and whether said derelict entertainment center will be disposed of
Since it was pointed out in the previous Minutes, one would expect a follow up...instead of a cover up.
Also, no mention of handling other delinquent assessments. Curious.
We are not requesting information, but merely pointing out what people probably will discuss after reading the sad excuse for minutes that was hastily ground out.
Any information you do provide is strictly on a voluntary basis and not billable.
Note: your responses or lack thereof will be posted in the Annotated Minutes.
Lack of response will be interpreted as we wish.
I suggest you look at the public's response to such notable stonewallers as Todd Stroger when deciding to voluntarily provide info or not.
Do you want to be perceived as a "Stroger"?
It's your option.
Eddie:Curiously, I received a response from the usually-silent financial aid manager/Board Treasurer Diego Arce...
If you can't use a garden hose properly, please refrain from using it.
Your crude attempt at watering your dying plants resulted in water leaking thru our open windows because of your inability to properly aim the garden hose, with water spraying into our unit.
Considering there's a layer of rocks several inches deep that don't require watering surrounding the unit, IMHO only someone possibly exhibiting repressed hostilities or perhaps without proper muscular control (conceivably due to drug use) would do something so inept.
If you have a better explanation for your incompetence, I'm eager to hear it.
We'll send you a bill for any resultant damages to our property.
Really B?A simple, "Hey please be careful when watering the plants, some water got in our unit" would be an appropriate response.Your diatribe is revealing. If you have an explanation as to why a man of your age would write such things, I'd be interested in hearing it.
If he had, he'd know about such recent incidents as Eddie Foss giving me the finger in traffic.You obviously haven't been reading your e-mails, Diego.
Eddie:In other news...
