Section 5: OPA Board Subject: Association Member Sues OPA Msg# 1060992

If the proponents are really concerned about [legal] costs to Ocean Pines members, they should drop the suit.
Jim I respectfully disagree. This BOD should be the one's to settle out of court, and avoid the legal costs. Seems the handwriting is on the wall, considering the Association's own sample of how to write proposed referendum questions -- includes the word "should". Many are predicting the BOD will lose -- so it's really the time to settle. Even if the board wins this case, they'll suffer lots of resent from their being so hard headed. Undermining recent efforts to promote community harmony. Compares with stomping on the toes and kicking the rumps of 800 + signers of the petition. Not looking out for the folks. Not wise choices.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: You're right, Joe. This should never have ended up in court. Although I supported a lot of Mr. Trendic's efforts while he was on the Board, I did not sign the petition, because I thought it was mis-directed. The amount of Board discretion currently on the books is not out of bounds for an association of OPA's size -- the way to ensure proper expenditures is through voting for the appropriate candidates for election, not requiring a vote for a level of expenditures that was proposed in the referendum. Furthermore, I support the overdue upgrade of the golf facilities, as it is one of the few amenities that OPA funds that I use as a part-time resident. I am confused as to why you support a lawsuit against OPA that, if successful, would clearly result in a passed-on cost to every Ocean Pines owner. Like I said at the beginning, this should never have ended up in court. If the proponents are really concerned about costs to Ocean Pines members, they should drop the suit. Sorry to be the "skunk at the party", but not every resident in Ocean Pines (at least me, anyway) agrees with your opinion. No need to reply, since, as a part-time resident, I seldom check this forum. At least we'll have a Comcast option soon, instead of just Mediacom. I'm thankful that the OPA Board made a good decision on this. |
