Your account of B&F's recommendation seems to contradict that of Viola and the other's who attended the meeting.  

John Viola stated on May 23: "Requests for Proposals should be solicited from HOA Management Companies (Outsourcing). The request should ask that cost data be submitted in a manner consistent with the cost data supplied by the software vendors. Enough companies should be solicited to ensure OPA receives at least three responses. At minimum there should be some type of analysis from management detailing outsourcing was reviewed and a decision was made to either go the next step requesting proposals or why we decided not to pursue.”

Now, you are stating that Legum ONLY providing a software quote meets this recommendation.  It does not.  What is more troubling is your recent comments of "6. We will have completed our due diligence which might allow for a vote on the 27th, and if they are included, would certainly not have a new board overturning a decision two weeks later based on failing to include this last option. Don't include them and the argument will be made we purposely excluded them, regardless of facts.  At this point, I think we want to include them so we have checked all the boxes and can say we did our due diligence. So my recommendation is to grant the delay, reschedule the demonstration day and keep moving forward. "

It certainly seems that you are pushing strongly for a vote on July 27th, WITHOUT THE RECOMMENDED RFP.  What are you afraid of?  That the wizard won't be able to wave his magic wand if someone else has their hands in our software?  So lock the association into a contract now so after the election, the new board will be faced with a healthy penalty for steering away from the Wizard's plan?  

Anyone who is even considering a vote for you should hold their ballot until July 28th, and see what the real Ted Moroney does should a vote be requested.   No wonder assessments needed to go up, need to write that healthy check to NorthStar and whomever else is in that proposal.  Will the public actually see the real numbers in the motion to approve, with detail, or will it be like your motion for the FD in May?  How much is T&U being paid for their consulting services in the deal?
