What Next? Colonies Board Member Now Resigning – Will it Bring about the Change Called for in the May Elections, or Continue with the Same Old, Same Old?

There just never seems to be a dull moment at The Colonies - first, the missing 'Coalition' and now a turnover on the Board of Directors.  I was notified the Agenda for the upcoming Board of Director's meeting scheduled for Wednesday, October 12, 2011 has been posted and the first two 'New Business' items listed were as follows:
- Resignation of Board Member
- Appointment of New Board Member

The big question is which member is exiting the Board of Directors and who is replacing the exiting member? The two Board Members who were not candidates in the recent election were Levin and Natividad but it being either of them almost seems too logical.  New member Pollak joined the Board last Fall to replace Freitas who resigned has much to offer The Colonies with his many years experience in property management so hope it is not him.  Addressing items like the building infrastructure needs, administration, badly needed attention to the grounds (trees in much need of trimming especially those dangerously close to buildings, as well as the overgrown hedges), the technological challenges and perhaps tackling the badly lacking reserve fund for which there is no known outline of a plan for rebuilding it to the auditor recommended amount are just some items The Colonies need to have addressed that hopefully Pollak's experience would be most beneficial to the community. It being long time Board President Lauricella being the one exiting is another possibility given the recent challenges and his Florida abode is likely calling with the cold weather season approaching. It would make complete sense and frankly show good faith if the Board replaced the exiting member with the candidate who received the next highest number of votes in the most recent Board of Director's Election.



Wednesday's Board meeting will be interesting so hoping more people will be there as life here in the field is certainly not as 'fascinating' (being at a local 'watering hole' watching the Oklahoma Sooners beat Texas 55-17 this weekend was at least some excitement as Oklahoma City has only so much to do).  Time will tell what will occur Wednesday evening.
