All,
Earlier this year, Al DeMarchi forced a confidentiality agreement down the throats of all Board
members and the residents of this community. He added this agreement to the
policy manual under the guise of it having been approved by a previous Board.
In fact, Al submitted this very same document to the 2009 Board, who ignored
him. No subsequent Board approved this document until 2012. Questions were
raised as to the consequences of violating the confidentiality agreement, and
the lawyer opined that the Board member could be asked to resign. It’s
time.
At the recent Board meeting to approve the budget, two residents spoke
regarding lot confusion. Neither resident spoke the name, but Al DID.
In a communication with the owner of the lots in question, Al states that
he had discussed this matter with Carol Z. Isn’t discussing this another
violation of the confidentiality agreement?
As one of the residents who waits months for an answer to written
questions, is denigrated at Board meetings and in correspondence, I am incensed
at the time and effort Al went through to straighten out the Morabit question.
He obviously plays favorites and uses his position on the Board to help some and
hurt others. The Morabits have been receiving tax bills for three properties
for five years. They knew there was confusion, but chose to ignore it. When
questioned, Mr. Morabit doesn’t seek to have it corrected. Why should he, when
Al DeMarchi was willing to spend hours doing it for him. IT WAS THE MORABITS
RESPONSIBILITY TO SATISFY THE WPA, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. I hate to think
that this was an attempt by a member of the Board running for office to pander
for votes, but that is exactly what it looks like. Pandering for votes is
unethical.
I would appreciate knowing what the Board intends to due about this obvious
violation of the confidentiality agreement signed by Mr. DeMarchi and what I
believe to also be a violation of the code of ethics.
