LETTER FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT

Just before the last Board of Directors meeting, there was a closed-door meeting of 4board members. I wasn’t there. I have been told that the Board voted to hire a management company to manage Pelican Point.



There are advantages and disadvantages to management companies. Some of owners may want a management company. However, I am concerned that the Board did not get more owner input before making such an important decision. You’ll be told that this decision is “cost neutral.” We were told the same thing when the Board outsourced our bookkeeping. The truth is that the bookkeeping now costs $6,500, an expense that we didn’t have before. $1,100 of that money was for legal services on the $5,000 contract. Furthermore, the cost of moving the office and other expenses associated with the move was approximately double what we were originally told.



Given the track record, I do not believe the change to the management company will be nearly as “cost neutral” as we will be told.



I am very disappointed and appalled at the lack of transparency in the way that this Board is making decisions.



I hope I haven’t wasted your time, but I feel it is very important that as owners you know what your Board is doing.



Sincerely,

George Koury

Vice President, BOP
