LAST DAY TO NOMINATE YOURSELF TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF F.C.C.A.!!!!!

 

According to the last "Management Report" issued by Chester A. Hingle, Jr., a/k/a Chet Hingle and "Chet's Board", the ILLEGALLY canceled/postponed 2005 Annual Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 26, 2006 at 7:00 p.m. and it further stated that if you want to run for the open President's position on the Board, you MUST turn in your nomination request BEFORE March 26, 2006.... it doesn't say ON OR BEFORE so I would guess that "Chet's Board" is trying to lull you into waiting until March 26, 2006 and then deny your nomination on a technicality.

 

I sure hope that more than one person will run for the open Board seat.  I was hoping that I could run, but so far nobody has taken me up on my offer to become a mortgagee on their unit so that I can be nominated to run for the Board.  If you are willing to sign a $100.00 mortgage, payable in three years, I will GLADLY lend you the $100.00 at 5% interest rate as a 2nd or 3rd mortgage.  According to the Bylaws, as a mortgagee, I will be able to hold a voting proxy and you could then nominate me to run for the President position.  I sure hope that someone steps up and takes my offer or at least nominates themselves to run.  I can't believe the apathy is so severe at F.C.C. that the owners are just going to let "Chet's Board" get away with the things they have done... or rather what they have NOT done for the past seven months.

 

Here is my basic platform, should I be elected:

 

I PROMISE THAT I WILL UPHOLD MY OATH OF OFFICE AND HAVE A FIDUCIARY DUTY TO AND DILIGENTLY REPRESENT ALL OF THE OWNERS AT F.C.C.

 

I PROMISE THAT I WILL LIVE BY THE SAME BYLAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS THAT EACH OF YOU ARE EXPECTED TO LIVE BY.  I WILL NOT BE LIKE "CHET'S BOARD" AND HAVE SEPARATE RULES FOR ME OR THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS.

 

I FURTHER PROMISE THAT I WILL OPENLY COMMUNICATE WITH EACH AND EVERY OWNER AND TENANT VIA THIS WEEKLY NEWSLETTER AND WHILE WORKING AROUND F.C.C.... JUST LIKE I HAVE BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST FIVE MONTHS. 

 

I PROMISE THAT I WILL ANSWER EVERY EMAIL OR PHONE CALL/MESSAGE.   FURTHER, UNLIKE THE PAST PRESIDENT, I LIVE IN UNIT #94 SO YOU CAN FEEL FREE TO KNOCK ON MY DOOR BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 9 A.M. AND 9 P.M. AND TALK TO ME IN PERSON IF I AM HOME, OF COURSE.   IF I AM NOT HOME, THERE WILL BE A SYSTEM FOR YOU TO LEAVE ME A WRITTEN REQUEST OR YOU CAN CALL ME.

 

I WILL ALSO PROPOSE SEVERAL THINGS THAT WILL SAVE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ANNUALLY FOR THE OWNERS AT F.C.C. AND PROPOSE OTHER THINGS THAT WILL ACTUALLY MAKE MONEY FOR F.C.C. SO THAT CONDO FEES WILL NOT INCREASE IN THE FUTURE.    IN FACT, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM COME DOWN SO THAT THEY ARE IN LINE WITH NATIONAL AVERAGES OR IN THE ALTERNATIVE, USE ANY SURPLUSES TO MAKE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE NEEDED TO KEEP FURTHER BUILDING DETERIORATION FROM HAPPENING AT F.C.C. WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO RAISE PROPERTY VALUES FOLLOWING THE BUMP FROM THE HURRICANE KATRINA SUPPLY AND DEMAND PRICE INCREASE.

 

I PROMISE I WILL NOT DO ANYTHING OUTSIDE OF THE NORMAL DAILY OPERATIONS OF F.C.C. WITHOUT A CONSENSUS OF THE OWNERS.  

 

I PROMISE THAT ALL BOARD MEETINGS WILL BE OPEN TO THE OWNERS TO ATTEND WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE BYLAWS AND THAT THERE WILL BE MORE THAN ONLY ONE OWNERS MEETING EACH YEAR.  IN FACT, I WILL PROPOSE AND ATTEND MONTHLY MEETINGS FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS SO THAT ALL OWNERS CAN MAKE SUGGESTIONS AND GET POST KATRINA INFORMATION IN AN OPEN FORMAT.  THERE WILL BE NO SECRETS FROM THE OWNERS LIKE "CHET'S BOARD" HAS DONE FOR THE PAST SEVEN MONTHS.

 

I WILL DO A PERSONAL INSPECTION OF THE FINANCIAL RECORDS AND PUBLISH A REPORT OF THE PAST SEVEN MONTHS WORTH OF BANKING INFORMATION AND DELIVER A COPY TO EACH OWNER PURSUANT TO THE BYLAWS.   FURTHER, THE FINANCIAL RECORDS, MINUTES OF BOARD MEETINGS AND HURRICANE KATRINA INSURANCE INFORMATION WILL BE OPEN FOR ALL OWNERS TO INSPECT DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS.

 

I PROMISE THAT I WILL SET UP A BETTER SYSTEM FOR MAKING PAYMENTS TO THE KATRINA VICTIMS SO THEY CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THEIR REPAIRS.  I WILL NOT BE LIKE "CHET'S BOARD" AND MAKE YOU BEG FOR SOME MORE OF YOUR MONEY... WITHIN THE LIMITS OF THE BYLAWS.  THERE SHOULD BE A SCHEDULE OF PAYMENTS AS YOU COMPLETE VARIOUS PHASES OF YOUR RENOVATIONS... NOT JUST THE 50% OR LESS PAYMENT UP FRONT AND THEN MAKE YOU WAIT TILL COMPLETION BEFORE GIVING YOU THE REST OF YOUR MONEY.  MANY OWNERS ARE AT A STANDSTILL IN THEIR RENOVATIONS BECAUSE OF CHET'S HARD-NOSED RULE IN DENYING PEOPLE ACCESS TO MORE OF THEIR MONEY. 

 

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I WILL USE MY KNOWLEDGE AND CONTACTS TO ASSIST ANY OWNERS THAT ARE STILL HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THEIR UNITS RENOVATED SO THAT THEY CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THEIR REPAIRS AND MOVE BACK TO F.C.C. OR BEGIN RENTING THEIR UNITS FOR THE MANY AREA RESIDENTS THAT DESPERATELY NEED HOUSING.

 

I have the necessary paperwork ready to prepare a $100.00 mortgage and proxy TODAY if you would like to nominate me to run for the President of the Board of FCCA.  Feel free to email me or call me TODAY if you would like to nominate me.

 

Your replies are welcome and considered confidential but they will be published in the next edition upon your written request.

 

Until next time... let "The Fountain Of Information" flow!!!!!
