Case No. 2007-04-5781

 CERTIFIED LETTER TO BOARD MEMBERS


                                                                                                                                  June 11th, 2007

Mr. Larry Rosen, President

VIA CERTIFIED MAIL

 

Dear Board Members,

 

I have been advised by  legal counsel well versed in association election regulations to inform you that any failure by the Board of Directors to adhere to the formally announced results of the Board election at the annual meeting on June 4, 2007 is a clear violation of Florida Statutes. Installing residents NOT announced and NOT certified at the election as winners behind closed doors without any public meeting will be considered election fraud and might lead to personal lawsuits against certain directors for breach of fiduciary duty if they fail to uphold the announced election results.

 

What is happening in the moment in our community is a total disregard of the will of the voters that participated in the election process. It is up to the people who failed to receive the necessary votes during the count of the ballots at election night to bring formal arbitration requests. They have to prove that election procedures were not followed and ask the arbitrator to reverse the announced election results!

 

The election results officially announced at the meeting in the presence of many witnesses are the only valid results and the duly elected owners represent for the time being the board of directors of our community, unless an arbitrator finds otherwise.

Any later “found” or “misplaced” or “miscounted” ballots are not valid or relevant. Only the ruling of an arbitrator according to FS 720.306(9) can make changes to the announced result of the election. PERIOD!

 

Ken Kral, a former sitting and officially defeated prior board members accessed and distributed sealed official election materials to other people in private after the winners were officially announced and certified by a second count by board member, Tom Lyons. Private meetings with select sitting board members and Ken Kral may constitute a violation of Florida statutes.

 

Once an election result is announced and certified as was done on June 4th and the meeting ended, the election is over and results are final. Any perceived error or discrepancy must be brought for arbitration by the individual affected. 

 

I will not be forced to relinquish my duly elected seat under pressure from Larry Rosen and Gary Keller.

 

I will take my seat on the board according to the election results officially announced at the membership meeting and Florida statutes F.S. 720.. Anyone who thinks that the announced election results are not correct must file for arbitration with the DBPR, according to Florida Statutes FS 720. Various arbitration rulings speak a clear language.

 

Please consider your actions carefully before involving our community in all kinds of litigation caused by your violations of Florida law!

 

Sincerely,

 

David B. Parker
