Board of Directors meeting on October 3rd.

Board Meeting, August 1st

The Board met Monday evening. They had an agenda, minutes, and pink cards for Unit Owner questions. Cindy Potts is the President, but Josh Huff (Treasurer) ran the meeting. He did a good job and has the right voice for that room. Because of the acoustics, when the crowd starts to talk much it becomes very difficult to hear the Board members. Josh has a voice that can be heard over the crowd and he used it effectively to call them to order.

The first order of business was to give a "go ahead" vote to proceed with the completion of a financial plan to address a pending problem regarding construction and the City of Plantation. In attendance at the meeting was a gentleman that said he specializes in helping distressed communities (like ours) to get the financial assistance that they need.

Above, left to right: Wendy, Jennifer, Cynthia, Josh, Jesus, Tracy, David, and Yvonne.

Below: approximately thirty unit owners were in attendance. There was no armed law enforcement. The crowd was well-behaved for the most part. Only one person was somewhat disruptive.

BOD Meeting and Election Meeting This Week

Finance Committee Meeting, Monday, 5 October 2015

Finance meetings are often committees, comprised of fewer than 4 BOD members (therefore it does not constitute a Quorum of the BOD). Typically, a meeting like this is open to the public for observing, but participation is generally limited to pre-assigned members of the BOD and the community. I am not sure of the arrangements for this particular meeting, as I have heard nothing about it other than to see the sign posted at the driveway entrance (pictured below).

BOD Special Assessment Meeting for Buildings 12, 28, 20, 2, & 49 on 17 September 2015

Special Assessments for multiple buildings on 17 September 2015.

BOD meeting on 8 September 2015

I attended the first hour of the BOD meeting tonight. I will share the notes that I took. Also, I have posted the meeting Agenda and two open letters that were handed out at the meeting (see below).

Jennifer (office worker) and BOD members (left to right) Wendi, Cynthia, Carol, Mark, Harold, David, and Tracy were in attendance. Not in the picture, but very much present, was a law enforcement officer in a very sharp-looking uniform. He was a striking presence, and it was easy to see why he was there. In attendance were approximately 40 unit owners. More than one were obviously upset and determined to be heard, whether they were in order or not. Only one audience member was truly disruptive, but it was easy to see how it could rapidly get out of hand. I believe that the officer in the room had a calming effect.

The very first order of business was to dismiss Tracy Thomas from the BOD. From what I could hear, she was in violation of a rule that states that a BOD member cannot be more than 90 days (?) delinquent in the payment of certain fees, and possibly fines. She responded by saying that she had, this very day, paid $12,000.00 to bring her account up to date. She also had some other explanations that I could not clearly hear or understand. In the end, she accepted the dismissal and joined the audience.

Before she left the BOD table, Tracy asked that the BOD accept petitions that had reportedly been signed by a number of TAJ unit owners. Apparently one petition is to have a recall vote to remove Wendi from the BOD, and another one is to have Wendi terminated as the TAJ property manager. At some point in the meeting, the President DID formally accept those petitions for review.

Agenda items #3 and 4 were about financial matters. Harold Scott reported that initiating a Forensic Audit was pending the completion of regular Yearly audits. The 2012 Yearly audit was only recently completed. Carol reported that the 2013 Yearly audit is complete except for some information (two numbers?) yet to be obtained.  It was stated that the Forensic audits would cost (a minimum of?) approximately $15,000.00.

The issue of audits roused spirited participation from concerned Unit Owners. It sounded like some audience members (unit owners) were concerned that the accounting was being done wrong (maybe even worse). It sounded like the BOD was trying to weigh the cost of the proposed audit(s) against the potential benefits.

Agenda item #7 was Lisbeth's proposal for a common sense procedure to send income and expense statements to unit owners at the completion of any project for which the unit owner was given a SPECIAL ASSESSMENT (SA) so that the unit owner could be aware of any possible credit in their favor due to over-payments of their SA. That credit could then be applied to the unit owners' monthly maintenance, was suggested.  The BOD apparently adopted that suggestion as a rule (from what I could make out).

Jennifer set the dates of November 6th, 13th, and 20th for Finance Committee meetings at which the yearly budget will be outlined.  She also reported the need for SA meetings for buildings 22, 23, 16 (as shown in the Agenda, below) and also buildings 1 & 3 (not listed on the Agenda).

The Agenda item of most interest to me was #6: "Priority Topic to Discuss and Set Date on Assessment of Two Million Dollar Loan to Repay Operating Funds $approx. $325k, Loan approved by Board of 2006-2006."  That item was tabled, as the President asked that more information be known before any further action be taken.

The second most interesting Agenda item was #17: "Selection of New BOD to fill Abandoned Seat and Re-voting of BOD Officer(s)."  Unfortunately, I left before this item was addressed. Can anyone report what happened?

Agenda for BOD meeting on 8 September 2015

Open Letter from Cynthia Potts, Publicly Distributed at BOD meeting on 8 September 2015

Letter to all concerned TAJ residents and homeowners;

I have been debating with myself for several months now on how to properly and legally respond to accusations being made by Tracy Thomas, Harold Scott, David Saldarriaga and several other members of our community against current board members and Wendi Hill in particular. I listened along with others when Tracy knocked on my door 18 months ago to cite indiscretions being done by the last board. I was not happy with some of what I saw and did get involved to learn more. After many months, that is all I heard was allegations with no concrete proof. I cannot in good conscious make a decision based on conjecture and speculation nor should anyone else. I ran for the board because I wanted to see change and have many if my own ideas I would like to contribute. Never did I think that the new board members would not want to move forward with the betterment of TAJ; instead all we ended up with is a board divided and several out to accomplish their own agendas.

Every month has been the same at the board meetings. Important agenda items are not being discussed because of the constant bickering. Every month, I am faced with explaining the same facts to the same people. There are no hidden agendas. The facts are still the facts; we are in good financial shape. The books are in proper order with all buildings credited for all monies collected, most due to Jennifer Burton going above and beyond to collect as much as possible to save other unit owners from having to pay for all of the bad debts on their buildings. This is not part of her normal job responsibilities. She does not have to do this. When you hear about the office not cooperating with Banks, realtors, Fannie Mae, etc., it is because she is standing firm to collect for you. This is not illegal; she is not breaking any laws. I have spoken at length to our legal team and they have been impressed with what she has managed to accomplish. Bills are paid on time; there are now reserve funds in all of our accounts so that we are able to make necessary repairs to the grounds and common area elements. This was not the case just a few short years ago. If Wendi Hill and Jennifer Burton were doing such a bad job, how do you explain the financial increase to this community? Yes, we can hire a property management company to come in and take over. I have been interviewing many companies for the last 4 months. After speaking with me, a few large companies said that this community is too large and facing issues that they do not want to handle, case in point the 40 year inspections.  Alliance Property Systems contacted me this weekend, sent to me through Harold and Tracy. The owner was very aggressive and said that his idea was to put us into receivership and then assess the entire community a large monthly payment and weed out the bad residents. Is this what the two of them have in mind? Does anyone know what going into receivership would do to our community? We are solvent and not even close to bankruptcy; receivers come in, clean out the accounts and take over. Not on my watch… We can hire a management company, but please consider this before we move forward with the decision to do so, a property management company will not know the history of TAJ and its’ residents. It will take a tremendous amount of time to give them all details to make informed decisions. They will also not go the extra step to collect monies as Jennifer has. They are hired and will stay with basics and will only collect 10%, which means less funds being collected for your buildings. Money is an important issue right now. Buildings must be assessed so that they can be repaired to come up to city code. We are out of time and cannot delay this any longer according to the city. As far as Nova Contractors, I am of the same mind as everyone else. I would love to see other General Contractors all working on construction projects. Again, I have met with many GC’s and engineers and most have said they will do the work but they all ask if the buildings are fully funded. No they are not. If there is any one building that would like to come forward and pay their full assessment, we will hire one of these GC’s and have them repair your building. This will be a good way to get further cost analysis done. All we have had to work with is the prior work from the bad GC’s we have had in here and Nova Construction cost. Anyone willing?

I would like to address the idea of hiring a Forensic Auditor. The board has never said no to a forensic audit. Since Harold Scott had the most to say about it, I put him in charge of contacting auditors, getting quotes and bringing back the names so that we can start interviewing them. Every month at the meetings he says he has the names and will send them to me but I never hear from him. I contacted a Forensic Specialist myself, John David CPA in Plantation and have spoken with him a couple of times. The audits start at $15K per year and that cost will increase as they dive into the paperwork as they will ask for more supporting paperwork. He asked for two years of audits to base his cost on which I provided to him. After reviewing the audits, he did say that they were very comprehensive 65 to 67 page audits and done very well.  He also reminded me that even if a small monetary indiscretion is found, the current board will be held responsible. I will go along with whatever the majority of the owners wish to do.

I hear total transparency complaints month after month. There are no hidden agendas on the board. Every project being worked on or that is in consideration are brought to the board for discussion and approval. If those yelling about total transparency take it so seriously, then why do they have a TAJ Residents watch that only those selected are able to see? This way, they can spout half-truths and lies and there is no one to support the falsehood to the statements.  Tracy takes copious notes at the meetings but does not comprehend what is transpiring. She emails letters to all with no support. Last one in case that I did receive: she claims an elderly resident is upset that she just wants grass put down in front of her unit and has asked several times and nothing has been done. I pulled the records and the request was made in October of 2014 and Leigh installed the sod within two weeks. Tracy claims that it was done incorrectly; well the only way to lay sod incorrectly is if you throw it down on top of pavement. Grass needs water and this area most likely turned brown due to the lack of rain we have had and the fact that the pump has been broken and thus the sprinklers not working. This is just one of many examples of Tracy telling half-truths and lies to try to discredit the office staff.

As for the many accusations that have been put out there; all based on conjecture, why has no one except a small handful of residents approached me and asked me to explain? Why have I not been invited to the residents’ blog so that I may have a fair chance to voice any issues or make comments? Tracy has done nothing but stir up hate and discontent since she bought here. She resides in Weston and has had an illegal unit owner in building 28 since she purchased. Everything she has been trying to do to bring change to the community has been either for her own benefit or for investors. She does not have the best interest of TAJ in mind. If she did, she would not make suggestions like asking everyone to contact Channel 10 to make complaints. If they did happen to do a personal interest story here and the condition of our buildings was displayed on TV, how long do you think our insurance company would keep our contract? Can we afford to risk going without insurance in the middle of hurricane season. We must use common sense in some things. Tracy went to the City to try to overturn the 40 year inspection on her building, not any others. She was asked to leave by city officials. They are well aware of her actions. Tracy would like to do nothing more than sell, make a profit and leave this community.

As for Harold Scott, he is lying to everyone. He has claimed that he was on the board during 2006 but could not meet his obligations due to his new business startup and not having the time. He has claimed many times that he did not vote for the $2 million dollar loan nor the purchases of the two TAJ owned units. I have the meeting minutes from 2006-2008 showing that not only was Harold on the board the entire two years but he did in fact vote for both of the referenced items as well as many more. The TAJ units were purchased for approx. $250K each and are now going to cost the community an over $200K loss. The board during his time served had many indiscretions, clearly documented in the minutes, such as commingling of funds, losses and missing funds. His audits were behind for two years because they could not straighten their books out. He keeps stressing how we have put the community in jeopardy of heavy fines because the audits are late. The audits have been behind since he was on the board by several years. The past board has been working since 2008 to get them caught up. The state is well aware of the delinquencies and is working with us and in constant contact with our legal team. We are currently on 2014 and which is expected to be completed quickly. As far as his allocations that the CPA firm is crooked; he is the one that chose this firm while serving on the board.  Harold loves to throw out accusations without supporting documents. I have supporting documents. Which one is to be trusted? Is it fear of exposure prompting this turmoil? 

I am offering to call a community open forum and ask that all residents and homeowners attend. Bring your questions to me. I will answer as straight forward as I can and if I do not have the answer at that time, I will get it for you. I do not know how else I can show you that we are operating in good faith.

Please help me save TAJ,

Thank you,

Cynthia Potts,

Open Letter from Tracy Thomas, Publicly Distributed at BOD meeting on 8 September 2015

Response to Cindy Potts letter                    9.8.15

Harold, David and I agree with you that any bickering at meetings needs to stop. We have suggested that you run the meetings, not Wendi, as is your responsibility or Harold’s according to our docs.   We have asked you to sit in the middle so we can hear you or use a microphone.  Positioning yourself differently may produce a different result. You sit by Wendi and have private conversations while other members are speaking on issues.  You need to maintain order and control of the process, not by getting up and walking out and not by adjourning because you do not like the way things are going. If you cannot be heard or maintain order, try working with your VP and let Harold run the meeting.  If you continue to do everything by yourself you are not fostering a spirit of cooperation and teamwork, you will alienate the people you are supposed to be working with and even leading.   Cindy you may have been interviewing property management companies for 4 months but none of the rest of us have been included or privy to any information pertaining to that.  David, Harold and I have been shut out of all information and decisions that are going on behind closed doors.  We have not been invited to participate in doing anything to help this community.  We have invited you to discussions and asked to meet with you. You are willing to meet with the entire community but not your fellow board members? We have asked to participate, be updated, and informed but have been told by you that you would not give us the day to day details of the operations of TAJ.  You told us you have not seen anything useful from us to put on the agenda. We are 3 willing able volunteers who have been looking forward to fulfilling our duties and the community’s expectations of working to make a better community but have been denied access to the office, the records, and information or  even unable to put owners concerns on the agenda. Wendi and Jennifer even called you and the police when I stopped by to ask for 3 documents after requesting them by email and phone and I had not received them. And I’m on the board.   One of the docs is a valid set of condo docs which I paid for but my copy is missing the bottom 1/3 of many pages. I have a copy of the police report and a video the event.

The Grass issue: Annette Katzman reached out to ask for grass. This was an internal communication request from me to the BOD to assist her. It is the BODs responsibility to maintain the community including grass. I realize this is an extremely irrelevant issue to most  everyone but If she or any owner does not feel they can come to any board member and ask for something even something so simple as please fix the grass without being minimized is it any wonder the owners are disgusted with the management? If we cannot be entrusted with small things how can we be entrusted with larger things?  You admit in your letter that the sprinklers failed, no water, grass died, bottom line Cindy, can and will BOD fix it or not?

All the community has ever asked is for things to make sense and to be able to have free access to the records.  Wendi and Jennifer make up the construction assessments though they have NO construction experience or knowledge to do so.  There must be a minimum of 3 bids and there have not been. There is no competition for the work in here to keep the prices competitive.  What have you done differently than whats been happening in here for the last 8 years?  Anyone can look around the community and see that we are not in good financial shape. That’s obvious to everyone.  You said Wendi’s record keeping was a disaster. Now you say all is in order.  You did not discuss with the board and address Wendi having her cousin working here.  The East pool issues reported 1 ½ year ago still aren’t fixed.

Do not attribute to me or to Harold what any management company may or may not have said to you. I was not privy to any conversation that you had with Alliance property management.  And have no knowledge of this conversation taking place.  You requested names of companies from the board and we gave you several.  That is all. And you say no other company is willing or able to work in here? It’s not because we are too big.   We have several long term educated volunteer residents willing to relay TAJ  history to  prospective management companies  which will facilitate the process and overcome the obstacles. This could be done even before the initial interview with the board to economize time. It does sound to me based on your letter like the owner of Alliance did not agree with you that the community is in as good financial shape as you claim if he was suggesting receivership.   Sounds like he felt we were in dire shape and in crisis.  And how can we know who to believe?  If even board members are prevented from getting to the office,  we  should have access to all office records. You are preventing that. If we are in such good financial shape why there was discussion at the Aug 2015 board meeting about putting another assessment in the 2016  budget for pool pump equipment? That a contradiction.  Wendi said someone was going to get electrocuted however it wasn’t necessary to shut the pool down to prevent access, we just needed to assess for it so we could get it fixed. Why didn’t you just tell us the cost and let us vote on it?   If you cannot in good conscience make a decision based on conjecture and speculation then don’t tell the community I wrote something that I didn’t sign.  If I write it and I sign it then you can attribute it to me.  Otherwise you are doing what you are accusing others of.  There are many letters that owners have contributed but they did not want to be targeted by Wendi and the association lawyer so they did not sign. I never even read the article about channel 10.  My Apology to the person who sent it in.   Regarding you making allegations with no concrete proof:  I reported uncollected bulk trash on my street at a board meeting and the board accused me of doing it. Wendi never sent a violation notice as is the proper procedure by the office manager.   8 months later you signed a violation notice charging me $1435.00  with zero evidence or proof of wrongdoing on my part even after the violations committee reviewed my case, and never even voted.  That was illegal.  I was also accused of mailing letters with the board address which someone else admitted in writing to doing.  I checked with him and he was never even contacted to verify.   You say all I want to do is sell make a profit and get out of this community.  1st I have not listed my units for sale. My daughter lives in one with my 2 grandbabies.  2nd probably ½ the community read that comment and laughed hysterically and said who wouldn’t leave if they could only sell and make a profit and get out of this place. 3rd you telling people what I want to do  sounds more like that’s what you want me to do and has nothing to do with whets in my mind. Would I be on the board if I planned on leaving?

Apologies in advance …This portion is related to my personal experience: Wendi repeatedly states we are saving so much money by using Nova, but my entire building paid $27K per unit and then we were assessed another $37K . That’s $64K assessment per unit.    Wendi authorized $47K  of that on  just 2 balconies ( and a small section of stucco wall )and she and Jennifer won’t tell  anyone in  my building how they justified that. Cindy you stated at a meeting that your pair of balconies cost only $19K.   Mine took 6 months to build, had no structural beams replaced, it’s not pitched, its pending water, molding, has code violations, some wrong materials were used to build it, it’s not secured to the house properly according to a private engineer I hired at my own expense to assess the situation, it cost a disproportionate amount of money and no one in the office has been willing to discuss this with me.  I have pictures of the employees sleeping on my balcony, sitting around doing absolutely nothing for hours, playing on cell phones, my dryer vent  tube and hose holder were damaged.  My electric was used to build my neighbors balcony.  My water was used to pressure clean the entire building.    When I brought these issues to Wendi’s attention her response was to sue me for bothering the contractor and being a nuisance. In this community the construction company is protected not the unit owner. That’s just wrong. Wendi accuses me of disparaging Nova.   I reported what I saw and experienced. It is Wendi’s job as construction manager, for which she gets paid separately (in addition to her $85K office manager salary and bonuses) to investigate and fix the problems. Instead she routinely instructs Simon how to do his job and requires that he follow her instructions even when it has been incorrect to do so according to what he has stated.   If Simon were allowed to do his job without Wendi constantly emasculating him and micromanaging everything he does who knows what he could accomplish?

Residents have been reporting seeing John Lovell still at the office almost daily between 10 am and 2 pm and still involved with managing the construction company.  John was seen last week ripping into Simon too.  One week Wendi is praising Simon as the savior of TAJ and the only contractor she trusts and the next we are being told at the BOD meetings that he is being terminated because he was going to talk to the community and to Harold Scott our new VP, about how the money from the assessments is being spent after he saw the spread sheet and saw how much the unit owners were being charged.  Then after some private meetings with Wendi , Jennifer and Cindy, Simon was given a raise and wouldn’t talk to anyone,  and Harold got a  letter from the association attorney  threatening him that he could not act on behalf of the board  and talk to vendors or contractors and specifically Simon.   And you want to tell the community that I have an agenda?  Well,  It is my intention to make sure that what happened to me doesn’t happen  to anyone else in here.  It is my agenda to see that  the unit owners  concerns are heard and addressed. It is my goal to see that residents, be they owners or  tenants ( TAJ  investors  renters and source of income) are treated with courtesy and respect. Not bullied or spoken down to. It is my goal to ensure that there is no selective enforcement or targeting, Etc.      

Yearly audits are required to be done and were not.        

Concerning the 40 year recertifcation remarks:  The 40  yr inspection is an issue that all communities will have to face eventually. Saying large management companies cant handle it makes no sense. What is the truth here? All the buildings were inspected at Wendis request. This was a board decision but the boards authority was circumvented. This did create hardship for some owners who were trying to sell and of course it effects all going forward who may consider selling as they did not need to be inspected yet.  My building, 28, is 35  years old. Not 40.   If we in my building could get information and answers from the property manager/ office we wouldn’t have had to go to the city to get answers.  We did request information to educate ourselves and we were shown on paper by the building department that only building 2 was supposed to be started in 2015. No other buildings. However, while unit owners in my building did want to delay the premature assessment especially when one owner was trying to sell, your other comments regarding my trying to overturn the 40 yr recertification on my bldg are patently false. I went to the Plantation city council meeting to ask for an inspector to inspect my unit balcony because of the balcony issues as outlined. There was no notice of commencement, no engineer inspection to finalize and no closed permit.  July meeting is recorded on camera, so u can see I was not asked to leave. I was told they could not address the issue because it was a civil matter as Jeff Sabouri told them my unit was in litigation. It was the last item of the night the meeting was over after I made my request. Essentially, you are preventing my unit from being properly completed, inspected and closed up in the garage.  

Regarding insurance: Cindy  if you were so concerned about our insurance being canceled why did you have our insurance agent come to the board meeting and tell her about the condition of the buildings and how much the assessments were? That galactic blunder that almost blew up in all our faces.  She was alarmed and implied that we needed to lie to her so she could tell insurance company to keep us insured now that she knew the condition which would disqualify us. Cindy you haven’t actually shown anyone  anything to substantiate claims that all is in order in the office. We, the elected board members have requested to contact vendors to question the high prices we pay and to ensure all transactions have been appropriate and above board. You have blockaded us from doing all duties. You have been allowing and condoning  voting by email which is illegal. Harold, David and I have strenuously objected and have refused to participate in email voting which must take place at meetings. Scare tactics: you make it sound like  Jennifer is the only competent person on the planet capable of collecting money from banks but you are not disclosing all the facts here. At the appropriate time that subject will be addressed.  Jennifer  is the CAM licensed manager who proportedly  often works from home because she is a nursing student  so  is often not on site during operating hours when  duties which require her presence are perfomed by Wendi,  who functions as the property manager and doesn’t have  the training or license of a  CAM manager. This could potentially be problematic for all of us      

Cindy, uou need to work with the rest of us so we can get all the various tasks done. You and Wendi are making all of the decisions for the community unilaterally.  If this is too difficult for you and you cant accomplish anything at the meetings as you state, then lets reorganize the board, you take another position that you can effectively handle and let someone else take the lead.   Mark Morgenstern has been unwilling or unable to do the secretary job which entails taking minutes to where he felt it necessary to  have a non board member assistant. David and I are underutilized.  By your own admission I take copious notes.   Better for one to be a good follower than a bad leader Saving TAJ will be a team and community effort.  But we have to have people on the board who can work together in a democratic way.  There are many letters and personal accounts of why others want to terminate Wendis employment and board position here. The reasons are documented in letters that are still coming in and being posted to TAJ Community Voice.  Sufficient petitions have been signed to start that process and will be turned in the at BOD meeting 9.8.15.  There will be a special meeting and an election to replace Wendi Hill. Only the valid votes of those who show up that night will count. My conviction is that I strongly feel that replacing Wendi Hill with Mr. Jesus Valdez  on the board will be the most significant step in catapulting this community towards recovery. He has been in leadership, construction and code enforcement over 20 years and is our best chance as he has the knowledge, credentials and the connections.

Steve, there was no voting in 2010-2014 because only present BOD members ran
so they were elected by default. Willie Perkins ran in 2013 to fill an empty
spot - again no voting. In 2014 there was, I believe, two "intents to run"
but there were problems with either their eligibility or late entry.
