BAY COLONY CLUB CONDO - UPCOMING ELECTION

Yes! Another Chance! The Arabs did it, why Not a BCC Spring?

Anonymous said...: You are sooooo funny Mr. Pukit. Hahahah! Yes! Another election! Remember your quote on your blog from ...

... the name escapes me.

... about evil and not doing anything

Now is the time to get up off our sweet derrieres and make something happen. Spread the word to completely eliminate thoses bums from the board forever.

PLEASE!

Do you really care, though? Aren't you moving? You are going to give up? You are going to sell your problem to another innocent citizen and throw them into this pack of mad wolves? This community is a disgrace and the association a pack of demented narcissists. NOt all though the MAD 4.

Do you believe in God? If you do, pray.

Anonymous said...: It takes effort and campaigning. Especially with new residents that are in the dark and are not aware of the reality of the darkness that exists in this community unfortunately at the hand of the present board of bums,because it does not have to be like this. Not all of them, 'cause DeFinis and good ole Jacko are wonderful,

Life always offers choices and these 4 bad apples simply choose for this community to be run the way that it has been for the past 2 years. We can save this community. We need to talk with the people next door, our neighbors and spread the word. NO VOTES for Lauth, Pappas, Shelton or Zubko. NO VOTES. Bring in a fresh new perspective on condo living. Lets work together to completely eradicate the snake venom sitting on our present board. It is not impossible. We can do it. We deserve much BETTER.

Lawsuits that on top of what we pay the attorneys to represent the association which is normal and custoary is costing thousands of unecessary spent dollars due to the negligence of the direction of the mad pack of 4 pollutants we need to get rid of in the next election.

Anonymous said...: TOO BAD....it does not work that way.
All the damage seems to be done BEFORE the monitors come on board. Beverley Houston has copies of the names, with their signature. BEV then takes those signatures and forges them. She knows these people's signature by the voting certificate they signed when they purchased a condo here. Bev then knows who does not vote over the years, gets copies in the office of their signature , forges their names and mails them in or brings them into the office. It appears that she isn't the simple old bag that smokes and throws her butts all over the street. She is shrewder than we give her credit for. Too bad she doesn't use it to be a nice old lady instead.; January 4, 2014 at 11:19 PM

Anonymous said...: All that did occur at the ticket hearing Wednesday night. The committee knows nothing about the legalities and how most of these outrageous rules are unenforceable. Furthermore, if one attempts to challenge a rule in their own right to do so, all the say is you signed to abide by the rules when you moved in and they suggest that perhaps one should move.

The suggestion that the management company would be out and the return of Colleen is just not true. I personally am impressed with the professional job that Melissa or manager is doing she is very proficient and has a great personal relationship with all residents. Remember just how important your rights are, and how imperative that they be protected. I agree in voting that line up.

It would be worth working toward revising rules for our community that are based on life and living, where no one is bothered offended or compromises their right to quiet enjoyment of their home and property. Rules are necessary in efforts to maintain order, but here in BCC it is ridiculous with the "rules" We need basic, common sense rules. Rules that do not violate the law by enforcing them and rules that do not violate peoples rights. It would be nice also if neighbors would get a life and stop their incessant complaining to security over nonsense. GET A LIFE! Also a complete turn around with security and their position here, out, ready to snag anyone for the most ridiculous "infractions". I guess our security has always been infallible.

Also our landscaping has never looked so POOR. It is pathetic. Maybe a new lawn company is in order also. It is just a matter or weeks neighbors. Soon Bay Colony Club will become ...

But BOTH "Joan of Arc" (Joyous Burkart) and Paolo DiPrima withdrew their names before the Ballots went to be printed. We now have 15 Candidates running and there's a "Meet The Candidates" after the BOD Meeting this coming Thursday.; January 12, 2014 at 3:13 PM
Jack said...: I was initially thinking that we could help Colleen and rebuild the office. But having Campbell to run the show has been outstanding for BCC. One of the metrics of their success is the number of unresolved complaints from residents. That list was very long last year. This year, it is very short. What remains is mostly fixing leaks, which is a longer term effort. So the interaction with residents, an important measure, has been excellent.
The two ladies in the front office are top-notch, and our manager is very smart and proactive. We get excellent accounting support from the company.
Keeping Campbell employed at BCC, and treating them well should be a high priority for the future board.

Thanks,

Jack; January 13, 2014 at 12:31 PM
Anonymous said...: Jack!

Colleen Cooney did not CARE. She did not care about this property. She did not care about residents. All she cared about was collecting her $60,000.00 annually while sitting in an air-conditioned office Monday-Friday 9-5, nights, holidays and weekends off with the added perk that if she needed to leave for a personal matter, it would not be noticed by the Board, her bosses. What Colleen did work very hard at, was trying to do as little as possible. We have had some pretty lousy managers here over the years, but Colleen takes the ultimate prize. Campbell is doing a fabulous job.; January 13, 2014 at 1:50 PM

Our present board is so overwhelmed with legal fees from the numerous lawsuits against the association for their own negligence in carrying out board duties that they have had to shut off the sprinklers and issue tickets to generate revenue for the tens of thousands in legal fees not contained in the budget.

New board please!!!; January 15, 2014 at 11:03 AM
Correction PLEASE! said...: This Board has incurred NO new lawsuits. There are ONLY TWO lawsuits - both dating from 2006-2007.

This Board has incurred far LESS legal fees than the prior THREE Boards COMBINED.

Our sprinklers have NOT been shut off (sometimes I wish they were, when they come on right after a heavy rain!).

It seems that, every year at this time (right before an Election) it's a "new season" just like "snowbird season" - only this is the time of the year when the cockroaches come out of the sewer to spread their filth.

Don't believe EVERYTHING you read- ESPECIALLY those Candidate resumes!!

These are new candidates that have endured the wrath of the present board and wish to make this a better place to live. If people buy here and then do not want to live here because of the board etc, the rules, the senseless tickets, the tension, the unfriendliness, the lack of community, all these factors play into property values. If people just want to dump their property because of the conspiracy of the board it is not going to impact rising property values. The names listed above are committed to making Bay Colony a residence where 640 units is not enough for the demand fo buyers wanting to get a piece of the pie of Bay Colony. Please vote.

Then, IF YOU ARE SO OBSERVANT of the Rules and Regs, WHY
1. Did you allow barcodes for motorcycles (FORBIDDEN in our Documents)?
2. Did you allow and approve a PAROLEE as a tenant, when you had disbanded all committees and were doing approvals all on your own?
3. Did you allow Land Trusts in direct contravention of our Documents?
4. Did you tell Strike Force NOT to make Jason Dorfman remove his 28 stored cars on BCC property?
5. Did you NOT run the Board Meetings in accordance with "Robert's Rules or Order" (after criticizing Wilbur Bollock for not doing the same)?
6. Did you unilaterally take it on yourself to approve lease/sale applications without benefit of a committee and/or approval by other Board members?
7. Did you "rent" all three Rec. centers last year for three weeks in an attempt to keep Candidates from having a "Meet The Candidates" Night? (and we KNOW you rented only ONE hall for ONE night and never paid the over $11,000 you SHOULD have for the rental of ALL the halls!)
It IS ironic that your pro-bono lawyer buddies last year ran a shitty election - but you paid the price - you never got on the Board.
I wouldn't ask you a single question - you blew it kid - I wouldn't ask you for the time of day!

Don't know who you are or what your agenda may be, however, if you really want to stick it GOOD to Pappis and the rest of the present mob, I would vote for Blanco to get in and all the other new faces. I'm voting for all the new guys on the block and BLANCO. Can it be any worst than it is now?

... and don't believe everything you hear. Who knows on the inside what is really happening behind closed doors. THERE ARE LAWSUITS, but they are brought on by the negligence of the board. Also around here these miserable folks have nothing better to do than to talk about everyone behind their backs and defend their own false sense of entitlement. We have some pretty nasty folk living right next door. I feel sorry for anyone that collapses on the pool deck. With neighbors like these here it would be interesting to see who would call 911 and administer CPR. It is pretty sad and pathetic.

But back to the original message vote in the new guys.; January 21, 2014 at 9:09 AM
Louis "Bud" Lauer said...: To answer all of the "Misinformed" first of all, our by laws are our constitution and have always been complied with. Regarding Florida Staute 718 and the Fair Housing Act, these take complete priority over any of our rules and regulations, WITHOUT exception. Absolutely NO ONE was approved for ANY rental that had ANY felonies on their background check, which is supported by our by laws. Such individual in question was actually permitted to reside here by a previous board, and when he applied for a lease, HE WAS DENIED, based on our by laws, he subsequently moved out of BCC. With regard to trusts, this issue was in fact supported by our Attorney on record, subsequently one individual was in fact approved to run for the board, and WAS elected. With regard to Jason Dorfman, he was cited for the vehicles and towing stickers were placed on the vehicles, subsequently they were removed within 24 hours. I certainly DID NOT approve ANY rentals OR purchase applications due to the fact that it would be unethical to require ANYONE to abide by rules and regulations that were certified by three attorneys to be unlawful. So in a nutshell, during my tenure on the board, we had ZERO lawsuits. Lawsuits are now up 800+% due to the fact that individuals on this board voted TWICE to uphold the 2009 rules and regulations, knowing that that the majority of said rules and regulations were IN FACT illegal. Once elected, it is my intention to rewrite our rules and regulations once and for all to bring them in full compliance with the Fair Housing Act AND 718. In doing so, it will eliminate the majority of the lawsuits that we have been receiving, and eliminate such illegal rules from being used for harassment of our residents. I stand for residents rights and the security and safety for all of our residents!; January 21, 2014 at 3:10 PM
Louis "Bud" Lauer said...: Regarding my above blog submittal: The rewriting of the rules and regulations WILL be the responsibility of a "Rules and Regs committee" as was conducted with the fullest intention to update them last year, to which everyone on said committee did and excellent job! Kudos! It is in my complete professional intention to bring our rules and regs to legal status with our Attorney's approval.
Thank you to everyone that supports such an effort.; January 21, 2014 at 3:23 PM

In response to your attack on Bud Lauer January 20, 2014 @3:49 PM

Simply put in plain English, our rules as they stand violate the law. Even if something is in our docs, it cannot violate the law or the Constitution of the United States. It is that simple. Why did BUD approve lease and sale applications without a committee, simply because to do so violates property ownership rights. We do not need committees. Our ticket/fining committees as they stand right now know absolutely nothing about legal enforcement of our rules. They can get into a lot of trouble and do not realize the delicate nature of their volunteer work and their ignorance. You cannot just issue tickets and then uphold fines. That is thievery, plain and simply. Our bod preys on the resident's ignorance and fear. It is really adult bullying if you ask me. The rules here are ridiculous and senseless. They are enforced half-assed based on the concept of FAVORITISM. We are grown adults, responsible members of society. Do you not know how to behave and conduct yourself respectfully? You need rules that violate your inherent rights to peaceful living, etc. to respect and honor your neighbor and community.

Well that is the reason that BUD did all that he did and was criticized for. He was trying to protect and uphold your rights. Hope you can make smart decisions with your vote.

This association makes everyone sign an affidavit that reads, "I agree to ABIDE by all the RULES, regulations and restrictions...", but when we sign we do not sign agreeing to abide by rules that violate rights and the law. Also we agree to abide by rules that are enforced fairly and equally across the board. Have a good night and try to look at BUD's actions in another light. Have HOPE, not everyone is bad, even though here in our home we live next to some REAL TWISTED CHARACTERS. Maybe dementia is setting in.; January 21, 2014 at 5:50 PM

Please know the POWER that is in your hands right now until February 10, 2014. Use it intelligently or use it foolishly. YOU HAVE THE POWER

A board of a community association has a fiduciary obligation to its members. It has the obligation to three main objectives:

1. preserve protect and enhance the value of the community and its assets

2. enhance the lifestyle of the community

3. provide a harmonious community in which to live in and share with others

In addition to the above an association must maintain reasonable rules and regulations relating to the promotion of health, happiness, and peace of mind of all unit owners.

With all that said, ask yourself when voting, if we have that with the present board. Do you have that provided to you by your present board?; January 22, 2014 at 2:01 PM

JOYOUS BURKART said...: ubject: COMMENTS ON THE ROCCO DISCOVERY ELECTION LETTER

Dear Neighbors,
I have not been involved with the events that have taken place in the community, because I have my condo for sale and been busy with other matters.
I have read Rocco's letter with great interest, because of the attached letters that spell out proof and facts of what he is reporting.
I find it amazing, of the circumstances surrounding many of the activities of some on the present Board of Directors.
I am aware of the usual remarks about the candidates that run in the election every year, but with all these facts supporting Rocco's statements, this should truly be an important election. These factual support letters will most assuredly affect our community if the votes swing for majority of the present Board.
Please vote this year and give careful consideration of candidates that have no questionable history concerning the operation of our beautiful community.
I agree to giving "new faces" my vote and also Bruno, your neighbor, in building #18, who lives here full time. I realize he was "not included" in the decision making this year, but with the right team, he can serve the community the way he thought could be accomplished.
Comments Please............
Kindest Regards,
Joyous Burkart

4- remember for things to work at least 4 good people have to be elected….it would be nice to have 7 good one and no dark ones.
my choice is those
blanco, cambi, smith, lauer, de finis, grisanti, blackman…if you are not comfortable with any of those just vote for for less than 7, but don't give your vote to the other side it would be like canceling out your vote.

Please understand the importance of your vote. Here in Bay Colony EVERY VOTE COUNTS! Please vote in a new board. Vote in new faces. Take a risk. If anyone received a ticket this year, whether it was upheld or not and you vote for the same dictator clowns, you deserve that ticket and future ones. We are the only condo community that tickets as ferociously as this board demands. The majority of the owners really are not aware of their rights and just TAKE THE CRAP. Vote for the new candidates that will protect your rights. Your homeowner rights, your Constitutional rights, your human rights, your disability rights. Voting in a new board does not mean that the property will be abandoned. All the new candidates are committed to making Bay Colony a jewel to live in and own. Please friends enough with these criminals because they are criminals. Also learn your rights and help defend them. Become a warrior for the GOODNESS OF GOD TO PREVAIL within our homes and our community. You must be proactive and use the art of effective communication to make things happen. Open your mouth. Say what you feel. Use profanity if necessary, it is just an ugly word. You gotta have thick skin to live in this battleground that Bay Colony is at present. Together we can make it a GARDEN of immeasurable PLEASURE.; January 26, 2014 at 3:53 PM

It is when you stop dreaming that you die. I am not a dreamer. I am a realist. We have criminals on our present board. I happen to know for a fact, condo communities just near by, just as large as far as units, that DO NOT have the problems that BAY COLONY has. It all lies with the board. When BUD and when WILBUR were on the board, things were great here. It was just the way we like it to be. Do you remember those times. Then a new board gets in and begin to raise allegations against this President and that President and get the good ones off the board so the criminals can get in. Here we are 2 years running with this. It is because of people like you that do NOTHING that this community suffers the way it does. A new board can always be voted in. A lousy board member can always be recalled, but it requires the community to come together and make it happen. I know of a condo community that pulled together and removed a President because he discharged his duties in bad faith. We have to suffer for an entire year or more because around here the residents just sit and take it instead of doing something about it. Personally, I don't care if people like me or not but I am not going to sit around and just take the abuse. If they can dish it out they better be able to take it. It goes both ways. I can't wait to see what happens on February 10, 2014. I have fantasies of watching these mad wolves finished and gone overnight kicking and screaming wanting to hold on and demanding another count of the votes. The amendments did not pass. Who knows? There are 15 candidates and it lies with the votes. Anything can happen. Stay tuned! Just know that it does not have to be this way. There are other communities that run properly without all this unnecessary nonsense.; January 27, 2014 at 2:15 AM
Been There said...: Attention Zubko & Pappas:
being anonymous is often an excuse for some to be on their worst behavior.

We have a culture now where sarcasm, snark, and discouragement are the popular attitudes to have, they are even considered cool by some. But I was taught the value of edification. (Eph 4:29) Building others up. That is what we are commanded to do. To use our words to encourage others, to give them courage, to help them realize the good in their lives, not to steal their joy and rob them of their own boldness to live out their purpose. To help them be the people they were meant to be, to add brightness to their light rather than snuff it out in the name of looking powerful.; January 30, 2014 at 8:24 PM

Reads the Budget said...: To correction please...I have never been on the board, but why do a budget if you change it anyway. I guess it is just to get an idea what it will be.It does not seem like you can rely on anything the board votes on then. I do know enough to say to those that say, you have to go by our amendments, when they are mostly illegal and unenforceable. Hence, how the trucks got in here. The trucks are allowed from 8am to 11pm, so if you go to bed at 11, the truck is there and when you get up in the morning, the truck is allowed to be there, so while I sleep, the truck has to leave until I get up in the morning. Yes, BCC's amendments are from the 19th century. The lawyers were consulted and BCC was told, don't waste BCC's money by suing, we would never win. Charlie Pukit has told us residents about the trucks having a right to be here, after reading the court records on the subject. Our amendments are a joke. Vote to ONLY change the amendments to reduce the 75% to 60%, like most other condos, First, THEN,after that vote changes to 60%, another vote could be taken for things. Do not include, leasing, renting and selling rules as THE STATE CHANGES THEM ALMOST YEARLY and it would be too expensive to change the doc.s to accommodate that option.
PS Bud was not President, but voted on that budget. He was also responsible for getting Jack Israel on the board as I recall.
