I need advice regarding some on-going issues with our current VP (former VP). When I was elected to this position of president in '08, I tried to make the VP and Treasurer appreciate the need to present any complaints or violations to the BOD/officers rather than taking independent action (and without checking with me beforehand to ensure we were adhering to our recently adopted By-Laws). The VP (who appointed himself to the position) continues to take action without consulting with us beforehand, and gets involved in issues that do not pertain to the HOA or community as a whole.
Just recently, I learned he made an independent decision to send a letter to a property owner of an undeveloped lot threatening to file a Lien if a bill for mowing his lot was not paid. Last year we had problems with figuring out who had and hadn't paid assessments because he had received some checks and deposited them into the HOA account, but did not keep up with who the checks were from. I have asked him on a few occasions to give any checks to the Treasurer for deposit, and also asked that any restriction violations and/or complaints be presented and discussed to determine the appropriate action. He is a former Highway Patrol Officer, and I believe he continues to see himself in a position of authority all the while I do all of the leg-work for this HOA. He is a very nice guy which is why I am having a difficult time figuring out the politically correct way to approach him about this on-going problem without it negatively impacting our friendship/work relationship.
