Hi Joe,

That was when we got in trouble with the IRS over the parking, and some BoD members got into a big panic over it.

I remember that BoD meeting very well. I recall that you were there also.

They were so afraid of the IRS that they decided to open up all our amenities to the public.

That was not at all necessary.

It was ONLY about the Beach Club parking, and as I recall it was because the Beach Club is not on property that is contiguous to Ocean Pines.

They decided to open the parking pass purchases to those who are not property owners ONLY after all the owners had plenty of time to get down to OP and pay for their passes, which makes good sense and would satisfy what the IRS wanted.  That  kept us from being completely  PRIVATE.

Some of them were so afraid of the IRS, that they convinced the others to open everything up to the public.

I recall that as being one of the most ridiculous discussion by a BoD that I have ever heard.

How do you remember it?

Nancy
