Your best, is not good enough

Board meeting uncertainty...conference call?
This is the exchange on Surfside Facebook this morning.  In the next post, I will show how these issues should have been resolved years ago. This Board and management are clueless or deliberately trying to keep the members un-informed., 
  • Stephanie Kelly Fritts Is there a reason that BOT meetings cannot be broadcast Facebook Live?
    • Surfside Homeowners Association Good Morning, Stephanie. I'm not sure how effective that would be for us. Someone would have to hold the cell phone/laptop/tablet and move it around. That would be exhausting for an entire board meeting. They are currently working on putting together WEBX for the meeting this weekend so they can see each other. Only a couple trustees are coming to the office along with Tom and Kimber. The rest will be conferencing in....hopefully, with their laptop cameras/microphones, If not, it will be a conference call. They are hoping to have a system that any member would be able to utilize to remotely attend the meeting. We are treading in uncharted waters with this and trying to do the best we can.
  • Linda Ryan Anderson So I guess that means the "board" will continue to do whatever they want, business as usual, right? Maybe just maybe they should cancel their meetings until all this crazy stuff is finished, please...

I’ve heard everything now! I would think with even the clam dig being canceled this board meeting should not meet this month! Surely there’s nothing that important to vote on?
As George’s next post addresses, this shouldn’t even be an issue now! Companies use technology to have remote meetings all the time! It would be very helpful and impart mire information if the meetings were available on the website. And I don’t mean Facebook!

Notice in my email from Scott McDougall emergency preparedness. Not sure how I signed up for it, but have been receiving for years

What did we hire a General Manager for? The Board needs to instruct him...Fix it, or your fired. Hire someone who can show some initiative and have the knowledge and experience that the Board should not be expected to have. The Board President, the Board and the General Manager have all failed the members. At least, we are only paying the Board what they are worth...Nothing.

I think it’s time for someone to take the misleading statement from the Surfside HOA website! I’m talking about the ***THIS IS YOUR OFFICIAL SURFSIDE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION WEBSITE. NO OTHER WEBSITE IS AN OFFICIAL SITE. VIEWS EXPRESSED ON ANY OTHER WEBSITE DO NOY NECESSARILY REFLECT THE FACTS OR VIEWS OF THE SURFSIDE HOA BOARD OF TRUSTEES****
If so then why is there so much chatter on the surfside Facebook page? I viewed surfside Facebook where it showed people’s posts and couldn’t believe all the chatter and time spent on this “unofficial” website and yet there is no way to interact on the official website or through the weekender! When did the board sanction the use of Facebook?
