Section 5: OPA Board Subject: Happy New Year Trendic Msg# 1031091

Regardless of the chain of events or language in the Ethics Policy, Slobodan violated OPA By-laws: Section 9.03. Board and Association Staff Relationships. Individual members of the Board of Directors shall not give orders to any employee of the Association and, except for routine administrative services and inquiries, shall deal with employees through the General Manager.
The above is pure speculation on your part unless you know for a FACT that Trendic gave orders to any employee. Slobodan is an uncompensated and volunteer elected official. He has no right to privacy. And, for the uninformed, this is at least the second time that he, as a sitting Director, has challenged, critizied or directed an OPA employee - a violation of the by-laws. The last time the Board let him off the hook with a warning. Whether this is a minor or major incident is irrelevant. There was an incident, it is in writing and the Board is compelled by the By-laws and Ethics Policy to take action. I like the transparency, which is not in violation the MD HOA Act. No right to privacy? None? Surely you jest. What is this first-time incident you claim Trendic "challenged, criticized, or directed an OPA employee?" The board is not compelled to do anything. No one suggested the HOA Act is violated by naming Trendic. What is suggested is that naming Trendic was politically motivated by those out to get him thrown off the board. It sure sounds like you support that idea. Trendic is no angel, but he does not deserve the public lynching you appear to support. Interestingly, you have not provided a single FACT to indicate Trendic has violated any Bylaw or Code of Ethics. This is the worst sort of character assignation via innuendo. On the other hand, Colette Horn, by naming Trendic, has, in my opinion, violated the Code of Ethics she created. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: This issue may have involved some interaction between Director Trendic and some public works folks working on drainage in his area of Ocean Pines. Is this a minor incident being blown out of proportion in yet another effort to remove Trendic? Regardless of the chain of events or language in the Ethics Policy, Slobodan violated OPA By-laws: Section 9.03. Board and Association Staff Relationships. Individual members of the Board of Directors shall not give orders to any employee of the Association and, except for routine administrative services and inquiries, shall deal with employees through the General Manager. Perhaps the upcoming review of the OPA Organizational Chart is being done to reinforce the above. Slobodan is an uncompensated and volunteer elected official. He has no right to privacy. And, for the uninformed, this is at least the second time that he, as a sitting Director, has challenged, critizied or directed an OPA employee - a violation of the by-laws. The last time the Board let him off the hook with a warning. Whether this is a minor or major incident is irrelevant. There was an incident, it is in writing and the Board is compelled by the By-laws and Ethics Policy to take action. I like the transparency, which is not in violation the MD HOA Act. I was an HOA President and dealing with issues such as this one is not easy. My advice to to others: If you can't take the HEAT, don't run for the SEAT! Tom |
