"THE FOUNTAIN OF INFORMATION", Wednesday, December 14,
2005 - Late Night Edition
Headline - HERE IS THE ITEMIZED ESTIMATE!!! (attached)
The entire document is over 120 pages so I am not sending
the entire document to everyone but I am sending the summary
pages, showing the OVER $500,000.00 ESTIMATE for the rear
courtyard. I am also sending the itemized estimate for
Sultan Mirza's unit #48, since he previously told me that he
had a copy of the itemized estimate for his unit (that Chet
Hingle had faxed to him) and it only added up to the
$12,000.00 figure that Chet and the Board had put out for
everyone else... all the while, Sultan Mirza had retained a
contractor who was charging him around $15,000.00, so I
think Sultan was privy to inside information that he was not
telling the rest of you... MAINLY THE FACT THAT HIS ITEMIZED
ESTIMATE WAS FOR OVER $16,000.00 PLUS 20% MORE!!! Since
Sultan got a copy of his itemized estimate, I have printed
out the 120 page estimate and if any other rear courtyard
flood victim wants a copy of THEIR itemized estimate, please
email me or call me and I will make you a copy. I can then
scan it into my computer and email it to you or you can come
pick it up.
For the several people who have already emailed me, your
copy is being emailed in a separate email following this
one.
Please note that TONIGHT, during a heated conversation with
Board Member James Williams, he told me (in front of
witnesses) that the "original estimate was ONLY over
$400,000.00" and that Chet Hingle was responsible for
getting it raised to OVER $500,000.00. I would love to
believe this but until they show everyone the "original
estimate", I can only go with what I have in front of me.
The most interesting blurp to pay attention to is that James
Williams admitted that the "original estimate" was "OVER
$400,000.00", which is the figure I reported nearly two
months ago after they only told the rear courtyard owners
that they were getting $321,000.00.... so he admitted to
hiding around $100,000.00 from the victims!!!!
Also, TONIGHT, James Williams admitted to me in front of
several witnesses that the Board had indeed received a
$200,000.00 check as the advance payment to the rear
courtyard flood victims back in October.... YET, THEY ONLY
DISTRIBUTED $163,500.00. THAT'S RIGHT.. IF YOU ADD UP THE
AMOUNTS GIVEN TO THE 22 VICTIMS (3 X $13,000 for 3BR, plus 7
X $7,500 for 2BR, plus 12 X $6,000 for 1BR, it adds up to
$163,500.00)... SO WHERE IS THE OTHER $36,500.00 THAT COULD
HAVE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADVANCED TO THE REAR COURTYARD
FLOOD VICTIMS??? THIS AMOUNTS TO ANOTHER $1,500.00 ADVANCE
EACH, OR MORE... THAT THE OWNERS COULD HAVE HAD TO HELP PAY
SOME OF THEIR EXPENSES. IF THE BOARD IS USING THIS MONEY
FOR OTHER LEGITIMATE PURPOSES... THEN THEY SHOULD TELL
EVERYONE!!!!
EDITORIAL REPLY -
NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN TO COME TO THE AID OF THEIR
CONDO ASSOCIATION!!!!
The original saying that I learned back in typing classes in
high school ended with "Country" rather than "Condo
Association" but the concept remains the same.
NOW IS THE TIME FOR EACH AND EVERY BOARD MEMBER TO LOOK AT
THEMSELVES IN THE MIRROR AND ASK THEMSELVES IF THEY HAVE
BEEN DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR THE HOMEOWNERS AT FCC? HAVE
THEY BEEN TOTALLY HONEST AND FORTHRIGHT? HAVE THEY GIVEN
THE OWNERS ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT THEY COULD HAVE GIVEN
THEM? ARE THEY PROUD OF THEMSELVES?????
Louisiana Law requires a Board of at least FIVE members, so
that hopefully, at least one member would stand up and do
the right thing during times like these. It is much harder
to get FIVE people to agree to secrecy. It is much harder
to get FIVE people to maintain a conspiracy of silence. Too
bad that the FCC Board is not following Louisiana Law or
they may not have gotten away with their conspiracy of
silence for so long.
It's not over yet. Although I have revealed the amounts of
the flood insurance estimates, the Board still has not
revealed the actual estimates for the upstairs storm damaged
units, nor for the upper four feet for the down stairs
flood/storm damaged units. That claim is being handled by
Scottsdale Insurance Company and it has been more difficult
for me to develop contacts that would reveal any details. I
have previously published the Scottsdale, supervisor's name,
phone number and email address. If you need it again,
please email or call me.
I CANNOT PREDICT THE FUTURE... I CAN ONLY LOOK AT THE
PAST... AND THE PAST ACTIONS BY THE BOARD AND MANAGER DO NOT
LOOK GOOD FOR THE REST OF THE INSURANCE SETTLEMENT VICTIMS.
THAT'S RIGHT.. YOU ARE NO LONGER HURRICANE VICTIMS.. YOU ARE
INSURANCE SETTLEMENT VICTIMS... BEING FURTHER VICTIMIZED BY
YOUR BOARD AND MANAGER AND THEIR FAILURE TO GIVE YOU ALL OF
THE INFORMATION THAT YOU ARE ENTITLED TO! BUT... AS LONG AS
I AM GETTING NEW INFORMATION FROM MY MANY SOURCES, I WILL
CONTINUE TO DIVULGE THIS INFORMATION TO EACH AND EVERY ONE
OF MY NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS!!!!
YOU SHOULD DEMAND AND FIGHT FOR EVERY PENNY YOU ARE DUE FROM
YOUR INSURANCE SETTLEMENTS... THAT YOU PAID FOR WITH YOUR
CONDO DUES!!!! THE BOARD AND MANAGER SHOULD JUST DISTRIBUTE
ALL OF THE MONEY PER THE INSURANCE COMPANY ESTIMATES BUT
THEY ARE STILL SAYING THAT YOU SHOULD JUST TURN IN YOUR
RECEIPTS AND THEY WILL PAY YOU "UP TO" A CERTAIN AMOUNT,
WITHOUT TELLING YOU THE AMOUNT THAT YOU ARE ACTUALLY
ENTITLED TO!!!
NOW, IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A DONATION TO THE BOARD OF ANY
MONEY THAT YOU HAVE LEFT OVER AFTER FULLY RESTORING YOUR
UNIT... THEN THAT IS YOUR RIGHT!!! BUT IT IS NOT THE
BOARD'S RIGHT TO JUST CONFISCATE SOME OF YOUR MONEY... AND I
MEAN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS... WITHOUT YOUR EXPRESS
PERMISSION!!!!
Until next time... let "The Fountain of Information" flow!!!
