Lisa, you were obviously not concerned or paying attention when this all came to light in 2020. The freebies no longer take place. Seems not one person payed any attention to the board members Frank Daly and others said voted in closed session that it was ok to take freebies at Ortt establishments back in 2020. 2020 - not now. Please read what I wrote. Look at the names Daly said approved of the “compromise” to take freebies outside OP. | ||||||

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I find some information you have kindly provided, very disturbing, especially the part where Board members are possibly receiving free food and drinks at Ortt's non-Ocean Pines properties. Regardless of whether the freebies are from an Ocean Pines amenity or elsewhere, accepting that is a financial conflict of interest. Ocean Pines is an HOA, and thus, its Board Members are legally fiscally responsible to its members. That includes not having financial conflicts of interest, whether they are real, or could appear to be a problem, that's not okay. They are supposed to be as objective as possible in reviewing contracts, etc. Having personal biases are not legally able to be enforced around, but financial conflicts absolutely are. I have been happy to see the turn around at the Yacht Club from prior years of poor quality, and I enjoy the Yacht Club pool and tiki bar area very much; however, that doesn't mean the Board shouldn't make objective, sound comparisons to make sure we are not overpaying for the improvements to continue. Having such a personal stake with any provider is something they clearly need to run by the Board's attorney, as I find it shocking that would be advised to allow. |
