Most of us remember the old Abbott & Costello, legendary comedy skit--''WHO IS ON FIRST?''
In our community--we have a similar ''SKIT''--''WHO is REALLY, living in the Fairways?''
Our HOA board is fortunate to have an excellent ''director of homeowners'', in Randy Muehl. Month after month, Randy solicits questions from our residents, and then follows up by submitting their questions in writing to the Fairways management. --Far too often the responses are,---incoherent or seemingly unhelpful and sometimes,are not even related to the simple questions asked.----EXAMPLES-- as taken from our last HOA minutes
Randy asked--''What are we doing to police the number of underage, nonresident, questionable felons, moving into the community?--is the community patrolled?--How do we monitor rental houses and who the leases are?--Do we ever just knock on the door and check things out?''
GREAT QUESTIONS RANDY!
Our manager answered---
''These questions have been asked repeatedly---We have never had a public patrol---We have asked the residents about their desire to have a full time gate attendant and share the cost--The board turned it down on the behalf of the residents!''
''WE register rental residents the same way all other residents register--with an application of residency--if you are referring to a homeowner who rents out their home or a home of a deceased relative, and does not notify the office---The only way that management can know, is by the help of the neighboring residents!''
Our manager continues---
''EVERY RESIDENT HAS A RIGHT TO THEIR PRIVACY''
''Management does not have the right to go up to a house and demand to know the identity of each person in the home---just like other residents and Neighborhood Watch!''
We dont want to create a negative environment for our residents!''
So---there you have it folks--- it's all OUR FAULT if the felons and unknowns are in here with us!
GO FIGURE!
