Our friend Roy was given another runaround this week after asking the “Board of Directors” of his community the “Certificate of Memberships” to prove their capacity to vote on certain issues that pertain to his community. This request was prompted by Roy’s belief that the “Board” has been violating the By-laws of the Community as well as the Corporation Laws of the State of California. Furthermore, he has reason to believe that certain board members are double voting. In their response letter to Roy, the Laguna Woods Village Association wrote:
"You have requested a list of the “certificate of membership’ of the United Board of Directors. Please be advised that the documents and records contained in your request dated March 16, 2009 are not included in the list of records provided for in Civil Code Section 1365.2 (Please see Civil Code 1365.2 (a)(1) and (2)."This is not the first time that Roy has been given the runaround. On another inquiry that he sent to “True Ballot”, the company responsible for elections conducted by the association, Kenneth Mostern, VP of True Ballot wrote:
“We appreciate your attention to the conduct of this election, and request that, if you have any specific information concerning possible fraudulent conduct on this election, that you provide it.”In his letter, Roy quoted a number of Corporation Codes, Government Codes and Civil Codes. Despite that, True Ballot would not initiate a formal inquiry into possible voting violations.
Is this yet another example of indifference towards an elderly, or is it more serious than it appears? Are they hiding something? Stay tuned. We'll find out soon enough.
