Dear Fellow Unit Owners,
What has happened in our Village over the last two years? Like anything else there’s good news and bad news.
Good news: a 3% maintenance reduction.
Bad news:
- For the first time ever ugly trailers are permanently parked in our community.
- A record number of illegal dogs are disturbing residents and causing damage to common areas, now in recently renovated buildings.
- Less activities than ever before, especially now that our seasonal residents are here.
- Sloppy workmanship on repairs and maintenance.
- Trash on the grounds is at an all time high.
- Garbage strewn inside the buildings is at an all time high.
- Vandalism is at an all-time high.
These problems are having a noticeably negative effect on our quality of life. It also means that the property no longer shows as well, and that limits the potential growth of our property values.
The Board of Directors’ responsibilities boil down to just two things:
Increase Property Values for unit owners, and
Enhance Quality of Life for all residents.
One individual, John Labriola, is in total control of our community:
He handpicked all the Board members.
He is the appointed President of the Association.
He decides which Rules and which of our Docs to enforce,
and which ones not to enforce, like illegal dogs and trailers.
He chose and controls our unresponsive property manager.
He signs the checks.
The simple truth is Mr. Labriola (with the tacit approval of his Board) has allowed these problems to worsen over the last two years.
Mr. Labriola, more than any other individual, is responsible for the deterioration of our Village. If you are concerned about any of these problems, or you have other concerns about our community, it is your responsibility to let Mr. Labriola and his other Board members know.
Here are their email addresses as posted by the Association:
John Labriola, Pres jflabriola@gmail.com
Duv Wolff, VP guitarharm@aol.com
Luis Jimenez, Treas luirra.jimenez@gmail.com
Carl Simmonds, Sec’y simmondsc@bellsouth.net
Marcio Jaspan marciojaspan@hotmail.com
Murat Kizikli muratkizikli@gmail.com
Of course, the only way to ensure that these problems are addressed is to elect a majority of independent resident Board members committed to restoring our community’s quality of life.
Now is the best time to take action. The Association election is just a few weeks away.
Respectfully,
