Month: March 2021

Yesterday, we were supposed to have our annual meeting but it was cancelled by our President and our Lawyer because they said that not enough people voted. We were not able to confirm this as the meeting was over zoom, our lawyer was hosting the meeting and he claimed that he was having issues with the camera. We requested to be able to witness the count and verify the ballots received but we were denied that request. We also requested to have the meeting at the pool area of the cove II and that was also denied. Based on the numbers that they shared and the count that we were tracking, more than 80% of the owners voted against our current president and still, she managed to find a way to make sure that we don’t have elections and continue.

Here is the recording that we managed to capture about what happened:

Owners/Tenants of the Cove The Cove At Briar Bay

Dear Owners/Tenants,

I hope that everything is good with you, your family and work. All of you should’ve received the ballot for directors, here are the ones that I will vote for:

• Baijnath, Lynette
• Espinal, Elvis
• Hoyos, Jorge
• Seraphin, Linda
• Summer, Alicia

Help us lower our dues. We are currently spending 30k in legal expense when we don’t have any legal litigation, that money is returned but still owners are paying for it every year. We are spending about 14.8k (11.5k+3.3k on 2020) on office expenses/ rental when we have units available for our administration. We are spending 118k in insurance because the current board use the insurance for things that cost less than our deductible. We are spending 42.7k in maintenance and you continue to complain about improper maintenance. We are spending 78.3k (48.3k+30k) in Landscape. We are spending 94.1k (57.8k + 36.3k) in emergency repairs that even board members are not aware of and finally, it seems as if this year, we will also spend another 51.2k in (40k, 1.2k and 10k) in security/parking enforcement which is only putting tickets on owners, tenants and their guest that can park legally in the community.

There is a transparency problem and when owners/directors question anything, they are responded in an inappropriate way. Help us change this by not having a hand picked board by a single person, instead, lets have a board picked by all owners.

Sincerely yours,

Elvis Espinal

Dueños/Inquilinos del Cove The Cove At Briar Bay

Queridos Dueños/Inquilinos,

Espero que todo este bien con ustedes, su familia y el trabajo. Todos deben de haber recibido la boleta para escoger sus directores, aquí les mando por los que votare:

• Baijnath, Lynette
• Espinal, Elvis
• Hoyos, Jorge
• Seraphin, Linda
• Summer, Alicia

Ayúdanos a reducir nuestras mensualidades. Estamos gastando 30k en gastos legales cuando no tenemos litigaciones, ese dinero se regresa pero aun lo pagamos cada año. Estamos gastando 14.8k en gastos/renta de oficinas cuando tenemos unidades que podemos usar para la administración. Estamos gastando 118k en seguro porque el board actual usa el seguro para cosas que cuestan menos que el deducible. Estamos gastando 42.7k en mantenimiento y ustedes continuan quejándose de este. Estamos gastando 78.3k en jardinera. Estamos gastando 94.1k en reparaciones de emergencia que ni los directores conocen y finalmente, parece ser que este año gastaremos otros 51.2k en seguridad/enforce de parqueo los cuales solo ponen ticket a los dueños, inquilinos y sus invitados que se pueden parquear legalmente en la comunidad. Hay un problema de transparencia y cuando los dueños/directores cuestionan algo, la respuesta en ocaciones no es la mas apropiada.

Ayúdanos a cambiar esto evitando un board seleccionado por una persona, vamos a seleccionar un board seleccionado por todos los dueños. Las notificaciones de la asociación también deben de llegar en español y no solo en ingles.

Sinceramente suyos,

Elvis Espinal

Here are the candidates that we recommend you to vote to make sure that we have a change for good, we avoid a hand picked board by a single person and together, continue improving our community.
