Don’t Pretend if you don’t attend
– the United Board’s Town Hall Meeting Today: Don't pretend to be outraged when your property is seized without any apparent reason, for example
Greetings Patriots
and
United (Co-op) Residents!
Laguna Woods Village, CA - This is a
message reminder: To attend
the United Board's Town Hall Meeting on Friday, August 10th, at 1:00 P.M. in
Clubhouse Five. We need your attendance, voice and support. I am asking
you to leave your comfort zone and attend this meeting, please!
FYI: I
have received the following information. Residents attending the Town Hall
meeting will not be allowed to speak, ask questions, or
make comments to the Board concerning the Amended and "Restated" By- Laws and
the Revised Occupancy Agreement! All questions must be submitted in
writing and the Board will decide which questions will be read and
answered. This action by the Board is deliberate censorship and extremely
counterproductive! The Board should "Man Up," change
their mind and LET US SPEAK!!!
United President Beldner, stated
at United's July monthly meeting that residents would have thirty day's to
read, digest and vote on these two documents. He deliberately gave us
false information! August has thirty one day's, the packet was mailed out to
the Shareholders on August 1st, I finally received my packet on Tuesday, August
7th and I have had numerous phone calls advising me that some residents
still have not received their packets and they wanted to know what
they could do to get one. Today is August 9th, and the ballots must be
returned by August 31st. Mr. Beldner's addition is questionable
at best! Beldner also stated the law required a timeframe of only thirty
day's, another lie! United's legal counsel finally admitted the truth,
thirty day's is the minimum timeframe and ninety day's the maximum. Why
all the lies, distortions, deception and manipulation?
On page sixty nine (69) Article 4, Member's Option To Renew; Please read this article carefully,
this is a very scary proposal. Precisely stated that we will be relived of
any liability, BUT, it is
also removes all power in any decision process and grants
it exclusively to the Board and any monies included in the transaction
would go directly to the Board!
Yesterday, in an unprecedented action,
a letter from the United Board of Directors was read on channel 6. United
owners are being told that if we do not vote "Yes" on the restated
By-Laws and Occupancy Agreement, that United will no longer be obliged to make
repairs, at United's cost and expense, to the interior components, including
cabinetry, counter tops, plumbing fixtures and flooring of members units. Nor
will United bear any responsibility for the replacement and maintenance/repair
of any appliances in members units, except for major repairs of appliances
installed by the corporation, including rebuilding or replacement of principal
components(e.g. fan motors and refrigeration units.) What a terrible
"scare tactic," this will have terrible ramification's on our
senior population. Fear and intimidation imposed upon us by United's Attorney
and the Board! Shame On
You!!
Shame on all of you, for the unethical
tactics you have used in your bullish attempt to scare us into submission
and the total lack of honesty, transparency and communication you have
continued to display!
The existing By-Laws are
still active and in place to guide and protect us, they continue
to be our governing documents until we vote otherwise, please remember
that. The board has to abide by those documents whether they like it or not. Do
not allow the United Board and their Attorney to bully and intimidate us any
longer! We, the resident owners are the ones that decide if we will allow the
board to dictate and completely control us and our future! We are the ones that
will decide if we want the new ambiguous changes the board is
attempting to ram down our throats! I ask all of you to make your
objections and voices heard loud and clear, VOTE NO! This board
needs to understand they work for us, not the other way around!
There will be a fifteen minute
"Closed Residents Meeting," following the Town Hall Meeting, so
please stick around. This meeting is closed to any and all directors and their
legal counsel.
Thanks,
Pam Grundke

This went to the Globe today June 21, 2012, to be published in the next issue. I doubt it will appear. If this single thing doesn’t upset you then you have either decided to join the ranks of those who just have so much money to live on for the rest of your lives that you just can’t spend it all or you have not been paying attention. This is just one single thing that has been a part of the overall and overwhelming abuse heaped upon us for all the years any of us has lived here. I apologize for the run on sentences. I am just very upset. We moved here before we were to retire so we could set down roots and live here for the rest of our lives. That isn’t going to happen.

Laguna Woods Village, CA- Bob Hatch has decided along with the help of that Corporate Oracle, Kathryn Freshley, that a new incentive plan should be put in place for PCM. The fox is ripping apart the hen house. Even Linda Wilson of the United Board admitted the board members are hardly experts according to the newspaper report.

We received a follow up letter, posted below, to a GRF resolution outlining rules of engagement for open board meetings (click here for copy) scheduled for approved today. We asked Ms. Donie Vantizian, co-author of the long-standing Los Angeles Times column "Associations" to comment on the merits of such letter, and have included her response under Comments below
GRF Rules of Engagement Good For Folsom? First, does this new "SHUT UP!" Rule (click here for copy of GRF resolution dealing with rules of engagement) ) apply only to the Folsom Prison inmates at Leisure World or does it apply also to the residents?
GRF Rules of Engagement Innovation, or Self-preservation?If you would pay attention ((click here for copy of GRF resolution dealing with rules of engagement) ) to what the residents are telling you, you wouldn't have to be so scared and try to impose illegal sanctions against the people who are paying the bills. The residents would not be angry.
GRF Rules of Engagement Restrict Resident Participation The GRF resolution (click here for copy) about to be finally approved at the next GRF Board meeting - Tuesday after next (August 5th), is an effort to greatly restrict resident participation in their meetings.
