Joan,
Thank you so very very much for your interest in this.. it has been a real hard year for all of us at lamarina. I have a long letter l will try to download to you to explain more of the matters at hand.. It has been very hard for me the past 6 month here at lamarina and it is long to explain all the legal in's and out's and is very involved. So l hope i can make sense to you for everyone, l feel, should know as much as they can about the problems we are having. There are different ones but the Jeff George issue is not all about money, it is about the owners rights, the laws being carried out as the law states. The reason the fees are not getting paid by Jeff is because his lawyer feels that the problems have been over looked in the past years, even after he has written many letters about the by-laws not being done correctly, the meetings not held right, the fee's collected when the homeowners had no say or vote in some of them .. the name not getting filed ... and then more rules and by-laws changed that were not done in a legal way ...He had to come up with some method to finally get the
attention of the management to make the changes that NEED to be corrected... It is, I am sorry to say, not a petty issue, but ensuring the laws that really protect you and your investment are followed ... the things they want ARE for the better of your investment.. It keeps you safe from someone raising fee's in the middle of the year for A BUDGET THAT MIGHT HAVE RUN way over or for say ... some one who wants to park a bus in the parking lot.. or say take your vote away for say the management wants to buy a new boat with your money... this are just examples ... but the bottom line is, if Jeff did not hold back his payments, there would be no effort to correct things. for he had asked the board before and they just said, oh well, and went on their merry way... I have studied the laws now and some of the issues we will have to go though to get this corrected and as i told our Lawyers just tonight and they agree 100% it is going to be a hard road and much easler to walk away and do nothing... but we must%2

Gail,
I am surprised that you think what the Georges are doing is okay. I can't believe that this couldn't have been resolved peacefully. I don't think any of the Georges ever attended any of the owner's meetings to voice their concerns. From what I understand they are upset about the occupancy charge, let's face it none of us like it but at the time it was put in it was the only fair way. Now I don't think it's necessary as people pay their own telephone and electricity. If we need more money we should raise the monthly assessment. Thank's for all your hard work with this matter.
Joan
