BOARD MEMBERS ARE PAID OVER $9,807.91 AND CAN'T SHOW WHY

The Board has also failed to explain why two Board members, Pedro Abad and Jose Maurelo have received checks totaling more than $9,807.01.  In addition, there are checks issued to friends and relatives of board members and to some individual parties for a total of $79,673.87.  Why hasn't the Board just presented information, receipts or copies of checks?  Why doesn't the Board just attempt to answer unit owner concerns and permit owners to inspect the records?  

EXPENSES OF OVER $79,673.87 RAISE SUSPICION

 The following names and check numbers appear on the check register and raise some suspicion.  Requests to see those checks and invoices have gone unanswered.  The Board has failed to provide this information upon request.  Property owners are encouraged to request to see this information themselves.  If the Board fails to provide a property owner with this information, each property owner may be entitled to collect from the Association a fine of up to $500.  (See "Official Records" section.) <<BACK>>
