Last September, my neighbor mentioned that the unit down the way had new shrubs planted in front of their patio but they didn't plant shrubs in front of the patio just next door. A few days later, I checked it out and there were six new shrubs planted directly in front of the patio at 643-103 but none planted in front of 102. Well, 103 just happens to be owned and rented out by a current Board member.
Every month since, I looked for an Association payment to the landscaper for these plants but didn't find one....so I started thinking the landlord may have actually paid the landscaper himself, knowing that the Board knew of my monthly review of the books and records of their dealings. Well, guess what I found? Paid in November with an Association check (#6307), nearly $300 of plants and installation for six new plants in front of 643-103.
Now why would you think the Association would pay for these new plants in front of a Board member's unit at 103? Common Area? Yes, common area, but why would there not be new plants planted in the common area in front of the adjacent unit at 102? I, myself, have been waiting on a request to Maintenance since July to replace the Holly shrub in front of my unit? Who else is waiting for new greenery in front of their unit? Maybe the separation of responsibility no longer exists under this Board of Directors where the rules no longer apply to them(him)?
If I am elected to the 2015 Board of Directors as a "write-in" candidate, this kind of conflict of interest will not happen. I ask you to consider casting ALL of your five (5) cumulative votes to me as a "write-in" candidate. Please vote January 15, 2015.
Thank you,
Mike Sukey
