Hello again from Colorado. Well after all the problems our association has had with the Board and Management Company, The cat is out of the bag so to speak.
First of all it has become obvious that the Board is not willing to require the management company to comply with rules and laws or comply with requests by owners but take a very liberal stance on the M.C. due to the following.
The board is extremely apprehensive in terminating or confronting the management company due to the belief they will not find a new Management Company for the 66 Units and the load on the working board members will be to great.
This statement is one I can fully understand, most are hard working people and few to help. We have one new Board member and I think she will help pull the association together.
Now the question is??. How does one go about locating a new Management Company and ascertain the credit ability of the Company so the board can have a chance on finding a good one.
I wish to help the Board by looking for a new Management Company who has our welfare at heart, professional attitude and enforce the rules as needed and be paid to do it.
This I hope will give the board some working latitude on picking one. In short, give them some choices and confidence that can help. This may relieve some of the strain on them.
I have seen, yes seen the board apologize for asking questions, or offer help to the M.C. on his office work. That is not what we pay a M.C. $12.50 per unit to do. The board members work hard enough and need not be a un-paid helper. He has the ability to do it if he set’s his mind to it,
and saying that I’m not saying the board can’t work with the M.C. at times but not be it’s private secretary.
Please, any comment is appreciated. This is all new on my part, guidance please.
Richard.
