If one checks back on my postings, one will see how often I have brought up the fact that UCO is not doing its due diligence in its responsibilities. It shirks what it should be doing and perseverates on its own wishes, never mind the needs of the residents.
Yet they continue to speak out of both sides of their mouths. UCO does not have any responsibility towards the associations whose responsibility it is to check their buyers, but when the whole dirty business of Kelly was exposed, suddenly it became their business - they were shamed before the world and had to act. Too little too late as they are still not doing what they must. They MUST be there to hold the hands where necessary. Telling someone and being there for and with them are two different things and my question of what did the President know and when was not answered. Guess they are too busy going through telephone numbers!
But today's mess continued into the Security committee meeting. I have written both on the blog and in the CV Messenger about the awful Kent security contract, how lousy and full of holes it is, how Ed Black rammed it down our throats without time for review and no questions allowed, no answers given and major details just left out, just like that.
Time elapses and follow us into the meeting of this afternoon. Evidently Barbara Cornish reads my blogs and columns for the CV Messenger for she complained about many of the same things I did. Where is the second rover? Nowhere!!! I wrote about the constant movement of the guards in something given a name Cross Training, which in English means that no guard becomes an expert in one area, but is a jack of all and a master of none and guess who suffers as a result? US!! You got it in one. Security either drags at the gates or they wave through anyone with some breath and a warm body and oh, perhaps a library card or Blue Cross or Red Cross but no ID. And then we wonder how these illegitimate renters from Sheffield O are getting in? Really?
I asked where their hurricane plan is but wait, what is the hurry? We still have a few more months of the season to go! And now they want to re-negotiate the contract if we are going to demand the second Rover - which is in the contract in the first place! So much for Ed Black's wonderful contract that supposedly we got on the cheap. Sounds just like the crappy contract he and David Israel pushed on through for the roads and how did that work out for us?
Today a vote was taken to give Kent 60 day notice to come up to snuff or out they go, of course after voting. David Israel was quite unhappy that this vote was passed. How dare the people go against him? After all, he put them in their chairs. Just wait and watch and see these people begin to disappear or have their computers cut off or whatever petty little mannerisms he will employ. Barbara, watch out for the tart and whore words will be right there once again.
Finally, a word about today's assembly and the behavior there. I am sure David Israel took his happy pills for he was grinning like a Cheshire cat before the meeting but began to look a bit draggy when he decided to shut Ed Grossman down. Why? No clue? Ed had the right to finish his question session with Irwin Levy. And then he erupted like Vesuvius. Oh well.
He then behaved until even he had enough of Gorodetzer. I was sitting behind her and the woman needs help. She was muttering the whole meeting through if she wasn't yelling out loud, and the mutterings were in such a nasty tone it was not pleasant to hear.
Then of course, after Ed spoke again, with some advice that worked for him, just as some other people spoke at that segment of the DA, Jackie Karlin got up and made a personal attack on ED G. Nasty, nasty and when I called a point of order to call her out of order and David both saw and heard me, he just looked away. Not to worry, as I called Jackie on it after the assembly which she did not like at all. Finally, the only people who mumbled and grumbled were David's shills who did not like the question I asked about knowledge of the facts and I simply had to turn around and stare like a principal at naughty children and they shut themselves down. Time to grow up people. Time to understand the principle of freedom of speech, whether you like it or not. Even one of the camera men spoke to me about that behavior.
Oy, people, we have a long way to go, but read and watch as our predictions unfortunately come true, are taken up too little too late by UCO who continues on its self destructive path of poor due diligence and contracts that cost us dearly in many ways.
Term limits, folks, term limits, and NOW.
