The following was originally posted by John R George as a comment under the item "Double Assessments?" The Blog Team feels that the comment is of such importance that it deserves to be published as a new thread:
There will be no double assessments. The $290,000.00 assessment is the only proposed assessment at this time.
This assessment will be discuss at the meeting on Sept. 11, 2008.
If anyone has paid a double for Sept. this money will be applied to the assessment if the board approves the assessment. If the board does not approve the assessment then any overage by unit owners will be applied to the next month.
The short fall mentioned of $585,000.00 is for the windows. The unit owners that have not paid will be assessed with 18% interest, late fees, attorney fees etc.
Since 2000 all expenses have doubled in the building operating costs. And FPL has just increased everyone electric by 16%.
Since, 2000 there have only been 4 double assessments (4 months) and $180.00 to hook up to the fire system.
Plaza South on the mile has just increased their maintenance by 45% this year alone. Most of the other buildings have had increases each year or every other year. The OM has not increased their maintenance until this year.
If you have any questions I will be more than happy to answer what I can on this site.
Sincerely,
John R. GeorgeManager

I AM NOT INVOLVED IN THE LAWSUIT BUT AFTER HEARING BOTH SIDES I AM DEFINITELY GOING TO JOIN THE LAWSUIT. THIS BOARD SAYS ONE THING JUST TO GET YOU ON THEIR SIDE AND WHEN THEY GET YOUR VOTE THEY ARE THROUGH WITH YOU. IF IT WAS NOT FOR THE LAW SUIT TEAM WHO KNOWS HOW MANY DOUBLE ASSESSMENTS AND RAISING OF OUR MAINTENANCE FEES WOULD BE. FOR INSTANCE THE HURRICANE INSURANCE MONEY THE LOAN OF THREE MILLION DOLLARS PLUS ALL INCREASES OF MAINTENANCE AND ASSESSMENTS WHERE IS THE MONEY. WHY DON'T THEY SHOW THEM THE BOOKS AND QUIT RUNNING UP LAWYER FEES IF THEY HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE. WELL SURE SEEMS FUNNY THAT ALL THE BOARD PROPERTIES SEEM TO BE DOING WELL AND COMPLETELY CHANGED, MARBLE FLOORS THROUGHOUT THE HALLWAY OF THE PENTHOUSE, THE WRAP AROUND DECK DID WE EVER HAVE THAT DECK AND THE TIKI BAR SEEMED TO GROW LIKE JACK AND THE BEANSTALK. ALSO THE LAUNDRY ROOM, VALET PARKING, COFFEE SHOP AND COFFEE BAR. WHERE IS THE MONEY FOR THE VALET, THE BEACH CHAIRS AND UMBRELLAS, THE COMMISSION FOR THE LAUNDRY ROOM AND I AM GLAD WE ALL PAID FOR WASTE AND EVERYTHING ELSE FROM WEDDING PARTIES TO TIKI PARTIES, YOU CAN SEE WHERE I AM GOING WITH THIS. SO IF YOU ASK US THE BOARD'S POCKETS SEEM TO BE GETTING PRETTY HEAVY, IF YOU DO THE MATH AND ALL I KNOW IS OUR POCKETS ARE GETTING LIGHTER. SO YOU TELL ME WHERE IS THE MONEY AND DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KEEP THIS WARPED BOARD. PS HOW DO YOU LIKE THE LIEN AGAINST THE WHOLE BLDG. FROM GENERAL BRONZE!
