| Just another BCC BOD Meeting |
- The Florida department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) has since 2002 repeatedly declared Slota in violation of Florida law.
- In 2002, Slota, then president of the Board, imposed a $384,000 special assessment on BCC owners. In 2003, after a lengthy and expensive trial, the assessment was declared illegal in Broward County Court and BCC owners paid enormous legal fees.
- From 2002 to 2003 it is alleged by the then BCC manager and a then member of the BCC Board that Slota was soliciting kickbacks from vendors, abusing BCC's petty cash, stealing BCC property and embezzling.
- In 2008 a $120,000+ contract was signed by Slota for "consultation" on our $2 million plus cable TV contract. There was no Board discussion and no bids for this "consulting" work. The remaining Board members said they were unaware of the contract and didn't know the details or the actual dollar amount. Two Board members wisely resigned at that point.
- In 2009, Slota, then Board president, failed to produce 2008 year-end BCC financials. A violation of Florida law and of a 2005 Consent Order which had imposed a $5,000 fine for the same (earlier) offense.
- During 2009 Slota has continuously harassed our Manager and office staff in an effort to get them to resign so more "pliable" replacements could be found.
- At the January 5, 2010 Board meeting Slota physically assaulted fellow Board member Wilbur Bullock.
- On February 4, 2010 Slota, along with Zubko, Lauth Shelton and Gustafson, signed their approval for the illegal $15,000 purchase of three pricey ice machines. The same type of hidden expenditure used to hire a "TV consultant" in 2008.

| Lauth in Action |
GEORGE LAUTH
Among other actions taken against the interests of BCC owners:
- Lauth has supported and voted for every action taken by Zubko/Slota/Shelton. Aside from this knee jerk support, Lauth seems to be dozing through BOD meetings, with only one past unique contribution;
- Some time in the past, Lauth decided that a bicycle on a BCC porch was so unsightly it required stiff fines. Isn't it odd that BCC security has never been able to stop the almost immediate theft of any high-end bike left in one of our bike racks?
