FW: Where Do the Numbers Come From?

The below email thread was forwarded to me from some of the concerned owners at Pier 8 Condos in New Orleans, also managed by Alcor and having the same money, legal and "misinformation a/k/a LYING" problems that Fountain Court is having with Alcor and Al Oglesby. I have edited out the email address suffixes in all of the "To:" sections below.

More contradictions from Mr. Oglesby:

- On June 1st, 2009, Mr. Oglesby writes below he had received fifteen (15) responses which were dissatisfied with the paint scheme, see below.

- On June 6th, 2009, five days later, Mr. Oglesby writes below to VERNA (sic) Vera, Unit 321, that he had received only "4 - 5" complaints, see below.

- On June 6/June 7th, 2009, Mr. Oglesby writes to everyone he had received only six (6) responses regarding the paint scheme.

I wish Mr. Oglesby was out here yesterday when Sheryl Wagers spear-headed a petition regarding the paint scheme. Within twenty minutes, she had over 15 signatures of unhappy Pier 8 unit owners!!!!! And that was only in twenty minutes. I hope realtors were not on the property yesterday when this petition was being discussed and passed around. How can Mr. Oglesby go from 15 unhappy unit owners on June 1st to only "4 or 5 or 6" unhappy unit owners five days later??????? I hope he keeps the accounting records in better shape than some of his communiques to the voting membership.

Thanks for the response Verna; I only received 4- or 5 which was surprising to me. Will be providing update on the exterior renovation progress this weekend via the website and mass e-mail. Have a great weekend.

Dear Mr. Oglesby,

I'm OK with paintingthe railings and the doors the same color. I think the lighter color on the doors is more pleasant than the dark brown.

Subject: Exterior Renovation - Suggestion to Owners, Board and Paint Committee

Over the past couple of weeks, I have discussed (via phone, in person or by e-mail) the current paint selections. While all appear to be very pleased with the job Base Contractors is doing, as of this date, I have received fifteen (15) notices (fax, e-mail, etc.) from different Owners expressing
their dissatisfaction with paint scheme; most have "zeroed in" on the dark brown door color. Most have also stated that they could live with the building and rail colors.

With that in mind, I began speaking with a few of those Owners over the past few working days concerning what they would think of changing the dark brown door color to the lighter railing color; without exception, their response was that they felt that could/would resolve the issue at hand. If that is true, we would then have two colors:

Main building - SW6109 - Hopsack
Doors & rails - SW6106 - Kilim Beige

In an effort to hear from those 15 Owners that have expressed dissatisfaction with the current color scheme, (and anyone else that wishes to express their opinion on this type of change), I would like to hear if this would resolve the issue for at least the 15 Owners. If I can get some
quick feedback, I would recommend to the Board and paint committee that this change be implemented before we get any further along with the painting of the property. With that in
mind, I am sending this to the 50+ Owners in our database and would appreciate everyone's earliest response (via e-mail please) in hopes of resolving the issue without further delay or potential for legal expenses to the Association and/or individuals currently opposing the color.

I await your assistance in resolving the matter for the good of the whole.
