Community Relations Committee...updated

Oct. 2, 2018 meeting minutes...updated 10/26/2018

Update:
I can't believe what I was just told.  Makes me feel like a fool. 
I have been told that the water crew spent an afternoon or more in the Business Office folding and preparing the budget ballots for mailing. I can only imagine the cost of their wages and time to do this. What account will this be charged?  Who authorized this?  If they have time to do this, they have nothing to do and to many to do it.  Please tell me that I have been given false information and I will apologize.  This just can't be true. 

Sheila Wallace, committee chair


This is a committee that we can be proud of and their constant efforts to make Surfside a more enjoyable place for everyone.  These are the volunteers who every year volunteer their time to prepare the budget ballots for mailing to all the members.  They spend hours on this task which frees up many hours so that our employees can work their regular jobs.  This also saves the members money.  Thank you committee.

Nice to see at least one group of volunteers you don't criticize.

Let us know when they need help preparing the mailings. We would be glad to help. I am all for saving money.

Seen the office staff playing Sudoku on a few occasions and there seem to be posts to FB that have nothing to do with SHOA. Nice to see that CRC is able to allow them time for that.

4:33 I think you are making that up. I am a volunteer and in the office frequently, I have never seen the office staff playing games! When did you see them do that and why didnt you talk to the business manager if this is true??

So, you are telling the members that office staff is so overloaded with work that volunteers must come in to prepare mailings? I have NEVER heard of such nonsense. All the more reason for a GM to come in and clean house!

I had stopped by today. Didn't see any water people at that time. However what I did see were members of that infamous "kill tree committee" there stuffing envelopes along with the others. Pretty sure they weren't getting paid and won't get the same thanks here like the members of the CRC were given.

Random people sending out ballots, glad county doesn’t do that. Explains a lot.

Random people volunteering for the good of the community while still being crapped on. Explains a lot about YOU 9:23.

And here I thought the "kill the tree committee" had finally done something that for the first time no one would have a valid reason to complain about!

False information. The tree committee did not help in the ballot mailing. A member on that committee was there to help the community relations committee do it. Nothing more. They don't deserve credit for anything except dividing our community.

5:23 I second your comment about the Lasar Gang! They get ALL the credit for dividing our HOA!

No, they only get part of the credit for dividing. Williams and fellow creeps get most of the credit.

10:28. So very true!

Did you reread your comment 5:23 before posting? It makes no sense. You say they didn't help then in the next sentence you say a member (BTW, there were at least two) was there to help. How is that false information? Bottom line, they were there helping while you are sitting at home typing your usual hate on a keyboard.

What divides our community are people not following the covenants that causes other members to have to file complaints on. All the tree folks do is to go out and determine if the complaint is valid or not.

To 4:18:
Yeah, a reasonable person would think so, but not here among some of these people.

You can bet that most of the tree complaints come from Tree Committee members, J place gang and people that don’t have enough to do so meddle in others affairs.

You can bet on it but is it true that most tree complaints are from J street. It would make sense that a lot of the complaints would be from J street owners because it is their view that might be compromised by too tall trees.
We have examples of members meddling in the concerns about trees here on this blog. Cox has been clear that he has no trees on his property. Yet, he constantly blogs that the tree covenant should be eliminated. George lives in an area that has no tree height restrictions yet he is a clear supporter of eliminating the tree covenants. Is it meddling or is it concern about the overall welfare of the entire association that compels some people to have strong opinions that don't necessarily directly affect them?

We all live here n hate seeing the tree mess.

I agree 7:18. It would be nice if people took proper care of the trees so no complaints would be filed and the tree committee could concentrate on the noxious weeds.

Would have been nice if gunna have height restrictions, they had been enforced all along n just not on whim of a few recently.

Anonymous said...

What would have been nice was to have no discriminatory tree heights for a view from the start. We would have a nice looking community now instead of one that looks like a tornado went through. The tree committee could concentrate on a bake sale.

Olds and her cronies need to go volunteer at the food bank or volunteering at schools. Don’t know how she would be with kids cause she’s sure a nasty female to grownups. I’ve experienced her snottiness first hand. Don’t put her on the welcoming committee for sure!

Proper care of trees is not cutting the tops off.The laser gang with their high powered expensive binoculars should take up bird watching. The bird lady could join their group and miss peggy would have something to write about and have a fund raiser for washing bird doo off all the roofs of the lower class down below. They could write complaints about roofs not being neat and attractive.

Still belly laughing! Olds and her lasar gang and bjird lady. What a crew. Your bird poo committee is as hilarious as the HOA emergency cache committee. Maybe they could combine the committees and really get somethin’ done. 8:10. You made my day! Thanks for the visuals.

Per my experiences with Peggy, she is an intelligent, funny, nice person. Perhaps some of you were so nasty that she had no alternative but to be calm and forceful to deal with you. To my experience, it takes two to make a disagreement.

Sure mr. peggy, What we need are more nice people like you two. There would be no more trees left and no members. Both would be gone. My advice to the low land deplorable's, Don't eat the cookies at the bake sale.

Let me tell you, 11:46, I have seen the other side of this woman. I’ve had no tree violations either. I have witnessed first hand her nasty,uppity, and far from funny demeanor. We don’t need those kind on ANY committee. Send her hiking with her binoculars.

Anonymous said...

This low lander both likes and respects Peggy. She is a capable and wise woman and that annoys some people. It is not an easy task to take care of the business of the tree committee. My advice is to walk a mile in her shoes before you criticize with your hateful remarks on this blog and elsewhere.

She likes to think she takes care of the business of the tree committee. Last time I looked, it was more of a committee than one, as she may think. She needs to mind her own business and leave others alone. She is known for her obnoxious know it all manner that everyone finds offensive. She and her loud mouth husband need to shut the hell up.

I always get a kick how people come on here being nasty and insulting while accusing others of being the same. Like the other comment said, I sure you all were real nice in polite in your interactions. Yeah, right. You all are quite the keyboard warriors, and that is being nice. I have a feeling who some of you may be, the same people that show up at meetings and make rude comments then leave.

4:04 needs to take their own advice.

Prime example 5:03. You just proved your own point, and don’t even know it.
