Not to be rude, but the decision as to who is going to be the next GM, in my humble opinion, is information not offered to the members. No preview of who the candidates are, their background and qualifications and summaries of their resume was never disclosed to the members. Another example of exclusion by the board as to who they are talking to. Based upon recent history, a new GM is kind of an afterthought based upon performances of the past. More importantly is the very fact that the board has now completely shut the members out of any available contact with any board member, unless you go through the central clearing house, which means just another email to a mailbox that won’t get any reply. These recent events has me wondering what it would involve for the members to gather and examine Title 33 closer. All of this clandestine activity would stop, members would know full well what discussions are happening about the community, and there are consequences to board members for not being transparent in their dealings with membership. Big effort to undertake, but by golly, might be worth a try. Extremely disappointing performance of late by the board, so their decisions, in my opinion, are suspect and questionable since the members are left out of any part of the process.
CM, I really don’t want to part ways with you on this but to start, we are not governed by Title 33 which you already know as well as it is is relation to Title 10 which we are governed, is basically an ex post facto law. For Sun City intents and purposes does not affect us at all. To be covered by Title 33 is really not a good idea as it will turn up the discord here to 11. As to the hiring of the new general manager, it is legally within the purview of the Board of Directors as per statute, Articles of Incorporation and by laws. There is no obligation for the members to know who the candidates are, their resumes or backgrounds. A reputable search firm was retained to screen and conduct preliminary interviews then submitting the best candidates for interviews with the Board. This is much better than third rate Romper Room bunch hired the first time who produced someone who already was in our employ. I believe the successful candidate will be introduced to the membership at a Board meeting with all necessary credentials, background and resume. I would venture to guess that a majority of the membership is unfamiliar with executive search firms and the searches themselves, so waving the bloody shirt ( look it up) serves no real purpose in the instant matter.
My error, I was thinking of searches done in a large scale corporate setting where candidates are open for review. Never said the board was not entitled to review and hire someone within the scope of their duties. I only asked about an open forum. I understand just as you do that we are governed by Title 10 and to change that is impossible. My reference to Title 33 was strictly for the purpose of demonstrating openness of practice versus closed door approach. This site, as far as I know, is about Sun City and is an open forum where writers can share their thoughts and ideas on various topics. I did that in my post to stress the lack of transparency by the board and the dwindling inclusion of the members. You took me to task as if I specifically mentioned the boards rights and responsibilities. I asked for an open forum, never mentioned any specific bylaws. Did not waive any “bloody shirt”, was merely speculating on what could be. If trying to look for ways that members are included in the discussion and process is a bad thing, then I will engage in bad behavior. Speaking out on behalf of the community and the membership, which is being removed from the conversation daily, is something I will advocate for.
Here she is! https://www.12news.com/video/entert...rship/75-5f6ad7ab-5c88-415c-b82d-d433e55db19e She sounds like a winner! Perhaps she'll be able to step things up a bit with incentives and activities that rally the troops and bring back a sense of committee? We can only hope!
