HOW THE MANAGEMENT QUIT!!!

This is to inform all members as to the real reason the management quit LDPOA. It was because of Clem Brown, Vicki Keefe, and Ken Kennedy. Miss Lucy didn't care about the members or what they thought.

Some information, when Vicki was Treasurer she was denied access to the accounting records of this association. When Vicki was president and the board at that time had an open seat Vicki, Harding, Cummings, Ken and Carolyn voted to accept Clem on the board. He was then nominated for Treasurer.

When Ron was still president members started coming to meetings who live out of the area, to complain about unjustified charges being made to them from a company called ALS. Clem, as a private member, talked to each of these members after the meetings and kept in touch with them and there situation.

To be fair Miss Lucy stated in her letter that it was because of members, but this is not true.

When Clem started digging into the records, he found a lot of problems in the book work and the actions of ALS and TMA. ALS was hired by TMA, Miss Lucy. This checking was done with the complete knowledge of Vicki and Ken.

There was a court case in L.A. against ALS and one of our members was in touch with these lawyers, and was testifying against ALS and there practices. They called Clem and subpoenaed him to testify. He agreed and when he received his subpoena TMA resigned.

You see she was accepting $100.00 for every case she turned over to ALS for collection. Finder fees. Unfortunately, the case was a draw with neither sides winning. If they had won there case against ALS we LDPOA could have gone after ALS for the money we paid them and help all members with what ALS had charged them.

Also FYI, we had the management monthly fees for 8 months of Vicki's being president. So with all the spending for that year which included all 12 months of a management company; the board was able to save over $20,000.00 to be put in the reserves. So our reserves started out $20,000.00 ahead with $5004.00 to be put in the reserves every month with the new budget.

This current board did not have that much left with 12 months of not having a management company. And they stopped putting money in the reserves as of Feb 2009, because they did pay the total insurance costs to Feb 2010. This does not explain the spending because we are talking about $20,000.00.

Were did all that extra money that was not sucked up by a management company go???
