Joe:
Wow! Listen to yourself. The board received a report of a pond being heavily polluted by human waste. As I understand it ACT ordered the second test and not OPA. OPA hears nothing more for at least seven months yet does nothing to close off pond or follow up on second test. Somehow or other you feel this is my fault? A conspiracy? I think not. The board should have been on top of this. They were the only ones with the December report. They alone saw a report from a reputable testing company that showed a dangerously polluted pond at Ocean Pines and they did nothing about it. Not a conspiracy, just irresponsible behavior by the board. Look at any way you want but please assign blame where it is due. Marty |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Your committee chair feels the approach taken by Viola and/or the Board was proper so as not to create panic over a test result all seeing it deemed a mistake. A second test was immediately approved by the board and done within 30 days. Your liaison did not drop off the second test result until over about nine months later. It showed the first test was indeed a mistake. Adding to the reasoning the first test was a mistake is that the single high result was not even the same as other samples from the same body of water. You are more concerned about laying blame on the board for what looks like delayed action by one board member, the liaison, than in the facts indicating the ponds are not in bad shape. I expect most association members are glad to hear there is no major problem requiring, as you opined, the possibility of installing a fence to keep people from the ponds or millions of dollars in sewer line repair. As I wrote early in this discussion, more facts were needed before jumping off that cliff. The facts were easy to obtain. I called the company that performed the tests. |
