This is very long. Please read.
If any of you have kept up with our HOA problems then you know what a mess our President got us in financially by firing and hiring so many times and with each hiring the cost to the Association was greater. Well after placing the HOA is this mess, a mess IMO we will not be able to get out of for a very long time. On Aug.29th she resigned. We then by default had a out of state President. I ask for a meeting ASAP, to appoint a new President, one who would be on hand for our many problems. The new Pres e-mailed me back and said everything was just fine....One Sept 4th our MC sent a e-mail telling us they would be resigning also as of Nov. 5th....Again I e-mailed with the same request, an emergency meeting. I had explained to the new Pres that this had to be done because of end of the year task that needed doing ASAP....Again he didn't respond after I explained the time notifications for meeting, Board/member. Finally he said he would be in town Nov. 14th....
He showed up alright, I was never informed or spoken too. He had had all the HOA files turned over to our newest Board member, a director. I am the Treasurer and I needed those files to perform my duties....He was here and gone (3days) in three days. He sae me sitting on my porch but never bothered to cross the street and speak w/me and I was never offered any files. The files were given to our newest BM and her boyfriend. It was this boy friend that went w/him to the Bank (only to here what I had already told him). NO ACCESS until properly done. He even has this boy friend looking for MC's. He is NOT even a HO's the girl friend is. What right does he have to go through our files?
I had told him (long before his visit)that I had been to the bank and I was told not one of the present Board members were on signature cards and could NOT access the Bank account. That there MUST be a meeting and the new minutes and Incorportation paper must be brought in...Like everything, he thought he knew everything so he ignored me and went to the bank...He was told the exact same thing...duh..so here we are almost three months later and still have no access to our Bank account. The bills can't be paid and I also was not given the key to the POBox so the dues if sent in early could not be deposited.
I have ask this man to Please step down long ago, because he was out of town (in Mass.) and that we needed a Presidnet to be here (there is no VP, that was his position before the Presidnet resigned). I had also ask that he call a meeting before he came down so that a meeting could be held...he did not, so this is where we stand.
I had no choice but to resign because there was no way I could fulfill my duties without Bank access. There was the 2009 Budget, sending invoices, filing taxes and paying our bills....we had plenty of time to have all this straightened out had he chose to do so. Our secretary is leaving in a few days, her husband received his orders. So we now have 2 Board members, this out of town jerk and our newest BM who is just a director who knows absolutely nothing about the CC&R's, FL SS or what has gone on in the HOA.
Since this man will not step down, and we really have no time for a recall what the heck can the HO's do to get rid of him and try and save our Association?...
We have already had vendors call and ask when they would be getting their money...the Termite company said if we do not pay by a certain time that we would lose our contract....What could this guy been thinking, I thing being President has made him feel like the "Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz." at the expense of the community and HO's
