PRESIDENT’S REPORT
President Brian Kozlowski states that two Directors’
requested privilege time in the President’s report and turns the floor over to
Director Darren Bondy. Darren states he was appointed to fill this spot and
there was a question as to a special election next month for his appointment to
fill the spot on the board for the duration of the time frame. What I have requested of the board is that we
do not have a special election and that I occupy the current spot and run in
the election in July. I think for the sake of remedy and ease, that would
ultimately be the best bet and I hope the board would support my decision and
my request.
Director Patricia Graham states she has something she takes very personal herself and she wants everybody to really hear this. Gail received a notice in the mail and I’m going to read exactly what it says about her. It says Gail White, bitch, thief and adulterer, take notice bitch. I find this appalling that someone in our association would say this about this wonderful woman who is a great manager, we are lucky to have. I can’t think of strong enough words as to how I feel about this, but it’s a horrible shame that someone would do this, not only do this but to direct it to the type of manager we have. A great woman and manager. Also, I would like to add that we have had four audits done and they were all very good, nothing wrong, so why do we keep having this rumor going around that there is something fraudulent in our office either from within the office or within this building. I would appreciate that if you hear someone spreading these awful things just stop them right there. Thank you for letting me get this off my mind.
President Kozlowski states that within this same vein, I’m sure we have all seen national and regional politics over the last decade or so the decline in citizenship and how they deal with opposing sides of the aisle. It’s apparent to me and I am sure it’s apparent to you that the same thing is happening in White Birch, we are now playing politics, there is one side and another. Instead of there being different views, that is good for our community, that’s the way it should be. But to create a schism in our community based entirely on the fact that you disagree with someone who has a difference of opinion, is not in the best interest of the community. I don’t see any way in which to correct that, I guess the only way to correct that is to always deal with the truth. We need to work together to resolve these issues in rational ways.
