Perhaps our new Board of Directors might consider a couple of suggestions*:
BCC Manager
Sheila Meadows could be promoted to Manager and given a part-time (no fringe benefits) assistant/receptionist/clerk to assume the office clerical duties. Sheila has been working at BCC long enough to know all the actors (both good and bad) and BCC’s policies and procedures. Surely this is just as, good as, if not more valuable than claimed managerial experience in unknown condos or HOA’s?
Sheila has been doing the manager’s job for (at least) two months and in that time has handled everything well. Anyone who has lived here for any time knows of a whole gaggle of “experienced” managers who have been total disasters.
We know Sheila and Sheila knows us. Is bringing in unknown new manager (regardless of eye color) at much greater expense preferable ?
Roofs
Hurricane Wilma in 2005 damaged roofs on the south side of BCC buildings 1 – 8. Every Board of Directors since then has known that the damage was a result of the failure of steel edge fasteners and that future damage could be prevented by replacing the existing fasteners with stainless steel ones. This is maintenance that still, 5 ½ years later, has not been done.
When the next hurricane rips our roofs off and massive damage to our apartments results, will the insurance companies (both our individual homeowners’ and the Association’s) pay off? Or, will they claim that damages were the result of failure to maintain the property?
Why have successive boards failed to address this issue?
(See the May 11, 2010 BCC blog article “Bay Colony Club’s Next Hurricane” and Gordon Houston’s Capital Improvement Reports.
*Highly unlikely unless this BOD is radically different than our prior boards

Charlie,
I certainly agree with you about having Sheila as the manager..............
Sheila was approached by some BOD's.
SHE DECLINED OR SHE WOULD BE OUR MANAGER NOW.
The BOD is finding out HOW LITTLE the
old manager really did....................
Sheila did it all...................
As far as the female manager applicant goes.
She is managing 1200 condos plus hundreds of HOA homes, with awards. Blue eyes and all. I read her very impressive resume'
How come Joyous Burkart has seen the new proposed Manager's resume???
How come SHE's privy to information that the rest of us haven't seen???
She wasn't on last year's Board, and she certainly isn't on THIS year's Board (thank god for small mercies), so how come she gets to see what the rest of us don't???
Or did she get it slipped to her on the side by her good buddy Sheila???
If this new proposed manager is SO good, how come half of last year's Board turned thumbs down on her, after there was unanimous approval of the first proposed manager???
Are we all missing something here???
Something stinks like a three-day dead fish in the sun.
tres interessant, merci
SMALL MERCIES, OH MY GAWD, SHORT AND CURLIES............................
All you have to do is request the information.
If you have an interest.
