BAY COLONY CLUB CONDO - SOME QUESTIONS

Why:
  1. Were all BCC's committees disbanded?
  2. Have there been no Financial Reports?
  3. Isn't the BCC official web site providing links to Financial Reports, minutes of BOD meetings, etc?
  4. Are owners' email addresses (obtained at great effort and expense) not being used by the office to distribute agendas, financial reports, etc.?
  5. Haven't updated Rules & Regulations been printed and released?
  6. Are BCC owners putting up with another stealth board?

BAY COLONY CLUB CONDO - BLOG COMMENTS

The comments many blog readers have been making to blog articles have been straying further and further from the topic of the articles.   Some anonymous contributors have used the blog comments feature to publish personal attacks on other BCC owners while ignoring the topic of the blog article.  Totally unsubstantiated allegations of illegal kickbacks, arson and various immoral and unlikely acts have been received.

The blog is maintained as an informational source for readers and a platform for publishing concerns and complaints about BCC and BCC's operation.  Comments which are anonymous or use an alias and contain personal attacks or unsubstantiated allegations will no longer be published.

If you want to malign a neighbor or accuse somebody of a crime, sign it with your name.

BAY COLONY CLUB CONDO VS HURRICANE IRENE

Well, here we are, early in the hurricane season and square in the sights of Irene, a potential category 4.  Perhaps this and prior Boards of Directors should start explanations now about why they wasted time on trivia and personal agendas and vendettas instead of replacing our rusted out roof edge fasteners? 

Come on guys, there has to be some lame excuse for spending time on firing people for not adequately kissing the hem of your robes or the deep concern and time spent deciding exactly where and when the Bay Colony Club mutts poop?  Exactly what size should those garden bird houses be?

Or maybe they'd all be better off going into hiding?

AND ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST - SHEILA FIRED

In the twenty plus years your blogger has lived in Bay Colony Club, the office personnel has come and gone with bewildering rapidity.  Perhaps some blog readers can help us out here:
  1. Why can't Bay Colony Club attract and hold on to competent office help?
  2. Are we looking at anoher law suit resulting from this termination?
  3. If directors' liability insurance won't defend an illegal action, who pays?
  4. Was this action justified and reasonable?  
  5. What's the general consensus among the board and owners?

Let's have some (civil) comments and discussion on this please.  Thanks for speaking up.

Many thanks to Bev Houston for providing meeting facts.
 
NOTES:  This meeting was a total waste of time for BOD members and owner attendees.  WHAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED?   HOW ABOUT SOME LEADERSHIP?
(1) STILL no open forum as part of the meeting agenda.  Unless the open forum is on the agenda and is conducted and recorded as part of the official BOD meeting it is a frivolous waste of time. 
(2) STILL no updated Rules & Regulations.  The U.S. Constitution was written and approved in less time.  LET’S GET ON WITH IT FOLKS!
