Section 5: OPA Board Subject: Association Member Sues OPA Msg# 1061002

Jim, you seem confused. What I am supporting is the RIGHT of Trendic and over 800 members of OPA to use existing bylaws to bring the issue of board spending to a referendum.
It is the board, not Trendic, who is apparently violating the bylaws and thus requiring litigation. If a valid petition was presented, the board is obligated to have the referendum. The purpose of the referendum is to allow all members to vote on the board spending issue. That is when you and all others will have a chance to vote for or against. It seems you don’t want to allow members to even vote on the issue via referendum. Such a position is truly misdirected. |

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. |
