8 of 10 EXCOM MEMBERS QUIT
Seeing as this is virtually the entire committee, I strongly suggest that BEFORE the 2008 AGM the outgoing Excom issues to its members:
- a detailed account of the association’s financial position and performance to date (seeing as the current budget wasn’t formally approved in a general meeting)
- a fully (independently) audited set of financial statements with related party disclosure and details of all contracts entered into during the Chairman’s term
- a detailed portfolio report from each outgoing Excom member together with an explanation for his/her decision to quit at this time (or is their quitting en masse a vote of no confidence?)
- an explanation as to the current legal status of this association and whether it is a Home Owners Association, a Civic Association, a Charity, an extension of the Municipality or a Gardening concern (seeing as R30,000 was allocated to maintain ‘gardens’ in the 2008 budget); it’s become increasingly confusing
- in light of the above an update on the association’s tax status
- a resume template for new Excom wannabees which on completion can be sent by Excom to members before the agm (even if less than 12 residents stand for election, and accordingly no vote is held, members must be afforded the option to express reservations they may have regarding someone’s suitability to hold a position of trust)
- a question & answer session with the association’s ‘attorneys’ (i’m sure they won’t mind attending the agm seeing seeing how they’ve been providing advice to the MDGA for nearly 20 yrs now) to address members’ concerns regarding the constitution, access to records and those wonderful amendments that altered the foundation of the association and basis for recovering monies from members.
Of course we trust that the outgoing committee will clean up the mess they’ve made before switching the lights out…

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackHi, I found your blog on this new directory of WordPress Blogs at blackhatbootcamp.com/listofwordpressblogs. I dont know how your blog came up, must have been a typo, i duno. Anyways, I just clicked it and here I am. Your blog looks good. Have a nice day. James.
It would be impossible for the ExCom members to clean up their mess. I do find it hillarious though that they are now scouting around for suitable candidates. Who do they think they are? ExCom members are supposed to be voted in, not recruited beforehand by an incompetent outgoing committee.
Any idiot who will vote yes to fining ourselves must have his/her head read. I will never give these arrogant bozoes the right to fine me. Do they think I am an idiot?
you may not be, but clearly we do have idiots among us. these guys truly believe that they have the right to hold sway over the rest of us and will stop at nothing to teach us a lesson for not acting & thinking like them. we’re in the midst of a global meltdown (a breeze has tipped the proverbial stack of cards) and these folk are still obsessing about their property prices falling due to the spot of mouldy paint next door. sad people sad…
not far off is the City of CT’s solution to anti-social behaviour: …fine those damn begging bastards for hanging around street corners, laundry blowing in the wind next to the freeway, and peeing in public… now uh duh hallo - if people are homeless, unemployed, displaced etc how on earth do you expect them to pay fine upon fine upon fine????? talk about taking food out of mouths. City of CT, you may need more money in the coffers to pay for the stadium but please go back to the drawing board on this one!
Cathy was complaining about the standards in San Marina. After years of trying to get people to comply, fining people was suggested. If you have a better idea I suggest you bring it up at the AGM. If you don’t trust Excom, why don’t you join and see for yourself. Instead of wasting all your time and energy getting more bitter and twisted about the situation you find yourself in, why not do something positive in your community? Talking of idiots - Did you guys not read your title deeds when you moved in here? Catch a wake up!
