Joe, I am very disappointed in your response to Larry Perrone’s resignation from the office of Treasurer. You accepted at face value that Mr. Perrone was not give the information he requested. I found it interesting that he as treasurer did not already know the answer to your question. If you had not accepted the reason for Mr. Perrone’s resignation but investigated further, you would have found that Mr. Perrone is provided that information on a monthly basis. It appears that in his role as treasurer he did not read that month’s board information nor any information that he receives on a monthly basis. Instead, when he was not immediately provided the information (that he already had) he resigned. My experience with organizations is that staff have a mechanism for providing information to members of the organization. Ocean Pines Homeowners association provides the info@oceanpines for members seeking information on any of a myriad of subjects. Then you ended your commentary with what felt like a snarky remark “so much for transparency”. Thus, those who read the forum and those who listen to people who read the forum were left with the impression the Board, the Treasurer, General Manager and Director of Finance are deficient in not only refusing to provide information but somehow hiding the information. Really Joe? Since Mr. Perrone was not living up to his fiduciary responsibilities it is appropriate that he resigned. I am however very disappointed in what appears to be a spreading of misinformation. It is my opinion that you owe the Board, staff, and homeowners a retraction of your misguided comments regarding Mr. Perrone’s resignation. He also owes an apology and admission that he had the information all along. Please don’t sow seeds of discontent. It is unbecoming of you. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: During this morning's board meeting, OPA board member Larry Perrone resigned his position as OP Treasurer. His resignation letter is below: Sept 27, 2022 From Larry Perrone, Treasurer OPA This letter is to advise you I am resigning my position as Treasurer of OPA effective today. This decision is as a result of your direction to me and the rest of the Board that we are prohibited from answering any financial question raised by community members. In your email dated yesterday you advised the Board that all financial questions should be referred to info@Oceanpines.org. This direction was a consequence of a question directed to me as Treasurer of the Association by a member of the community. In my attempts to request a financial report from the GM and Director of Finance I was advised by the GM to submit the question to Info.oceanpines.org. When the issue was raised with you, you directed me and the Board to submit all inquiries to the website. When I asked for the authority to make such a unilateral decision you advised me and the Board you feel this is the best course of action. In essence, you have defacto appointed the GM the Treasurer of the Association. You do not have the authority to direct the Treasurer or Board not to answer questions from community members. I cannot support this direction which I believe contradicts the duties for the Treasurer or any Board member. Larry Perrone |
