As you all may have noticed, in the past few months the Admin Building roof had been redone. This is for which our funds should be used, keeping up assets that need repair. This is a good example of our reserves being used correctly.
HOWEVER, see the links below, which show County Citations on the roof work that was completed. Unfortunately, the work was done by an unlicensed contractor per the County. Fines were levied and paid with a signature of acknowledgement for the violation. This situation begs the questions.
- Was the contractor insured?
- Did the contractor (unlicensed) have the skill level to do the job correctly?
- Was the fine payment part of the total cost to do the job, i.e. our cost?
It is understood that our Board of Directors are not licensed building or roofing contractors. However, aren’t they responsible for selecting licensed and insured contractors to complete work correctly that needs to be done?
It would seem that as custodians and stewards of our community funds and having the fiduciary responsibility to oversee these funds, would not decisions to spend the funds be directed with careful consideration that the funds are spent with prudence that lead to expected successful results?
