Bon appetit

A fun fest during the Labor Day Holiday at our Beach Club with Chef Josh doing his magic over the grill should be a delight for all.  These organized community gatherings are great for Aquarina and bring us together in a positive way.  However, the flip side of these 45s’ recorded hits of fun is a dark side of which many may or may not be aware.  Though this Blog has endeavored to unveil what has created this dark side, it is dismaying to see those that are aware, turn away.  Do the good times provide an excuse to not address the wrongs that are being wrought upon our community? We have folks in complete denial because of the fun that is being provided.  How sad.  Take my money and the other residents’ money.  I’m having fun.

More to come soon.

Could “Carpetbagger” be associated with our current Board?  Check out the Board’s history.

 

Aquarina fellow residents, it’s time for us to take action and implement the democratic system to make a positive change for our community.  There is a process; Section 3 of Article 4 of our By-Laws provides that 33% of the total Voting Members of the ACSA can Petition for a Special Meeting.  The purpose, location, time, and day of the Meeting shall be provided in a Notice to the community.  No other business can be transacted other than what is stated on the Notice.

The purpose of the Special Meeting would be to remove the named Directors from the Board as stated in the Notice.  Directors can be removed per Section 5 of Article 5 of our By-Laws with or without cause, and per Florida Statute Section 720.301(10)(a)1.  A majority of the Voting Membership (ACSA) is required for any removal. Any Director so selected to be removed has a right to be heard at the Special Meeting.

In future Posts to this Blog the logistics of assembling a Petition will be laid out.  One way would be to designate certain days and times when the Petition would be available to be signed in the Community Club House. Volunteers would be available during the designated days and times to meet the Residents and assist with the Petition signing.  The fully signed Petition would be presented to the Board as providing Notice of the community’s demand for the Special Meeting.

Here are the facts –

 The Board President responded to resident questions concerning this Blog and another resident’s written concerns with what the Board has been doing.  The Board President’s response was that the Board’s attorneys said that the Blog’s and the resident’s written concerns were without merit. This is not the case.  Ask your Board why a meeting was called with the attorneys.

Remember, this Board has a history of untruths, e.g. the Building Permit Applications applied with the pretense for storm and other repairs when in fact Applications were for renovations costing much more of our funds then was stated.  Is an over $40,000 new mower washer a repair?  Is moving the current work out facility necessary with all the now inherent costs with the move a repair?

 The Board behaves like a bully.  Tonight’s Meeting exemplified this behavior.  Residents speak, and are ignored and rudely spoken down.  Questions are not directly answered and the truth of the answer, based on Board actions, cannot be counted on for credibility.

Folks, please access the Aquarina By-Laws and CC&R’s from the Aquarina website.  The truth of what this Blog speaks is there to be seen and read. If another assessment is hoisted on us at the next Board Meeting, then we must say resoundingly  NO! 

It is suggested that these documents, i.e. the By-Laws and CC&R’s, be brought to the next Meeting and referenced to the Board.

Much more to come!
