The Treasurer’s report for fiscal year 2024 and the January 2025 treasurer’s report both show the decades long continuation of a Charter violation. Article II, paragraph 2; any balance of money or assets remaining after the full payment of corporate obligations of all and any kinds shall be devoted to the charitable, educational and benevolent purposes of the Corporation.
According to information supplied by Neil Chauncey, historian@grandinlakeshores.com; that section of the Charter was put there to help ensure the non-profit status was approved. Then, they made sure all the money was spent before the end of each year. Plus, all donations to the HOA were given to a designated member, not the association. That member kept the money in an account under his/her name and handed it out under the Boards direction.
That entry in the Charter hasn’t had any effect in determining the not-for-profit status for over 40 years. Instead of continuing to make a mockery of the Governing Documents, why not amend them? It’s an uncomplicated procedure with more than one option.
2nd Half
The two recently appointed directors, Carole Doswell and Tim Ellis, had a period of ninety days to obtain certification and post the certificates on the website as mandated by Florida law. The new directors failed to adhere to that law. They have seamlessly integrated with the rest of the inept directors and officers. That situation became evident when the directors presented this year’s budget. We waited the full 90 days anyway hoping for but not expecting the new directors to comply with the laws governing this association.
