Dear Mr. Kauffman:

Please refer to your verbal request made at the Hunter's Run Board of Director's meeting held on April 7, 2003, for a copy of the opinion letter from attorney Steve Mezer to the Board of Directors regarding the paper that was presented to the Board of Directors at their meeting held on January 13, 2003, signed by 143 members of the Association voting to remove you as a Director and subsequent actions by the Board.

As stated at the meeting, the Board did not receive a written legal opinion from an attorney regarding this matter.

                                                                           Sincerely,
                                                                           (Signature)

Dear Ms. Wilson

Thank you for your letter of April 17, 2003.  Since there was nothing in writing from Attorney Steven Mezer and you stated in the April 7, 2003 board meeting you had the conversation with him I would ask you to tell me the answers to the following:

  • During the board meeting of January 13, 2003 it was stated that the attorney, Steven Mezer, had reviewed the petition. What Florida State Statutes and /or governing documents did he quote that supported his opinion or position on the matter?
  • What did he say about more than one signature being shown on the petition for the same Lot?
  • What did he say about the many signatures on the petition that were not the registered lot owners of the lots they signed for?
I feel that it would be common and civil courtesy to explain to me how I could be removed from the board per Attorney Steven Mezer’s input and conversation with you; I respectfully ask that you reply to this request.

Sincerely, 

Gary Kauffman

Dear Mr. Kauffman:

Please refer to your letter dated April 24, 2003 requesting that I explain to you how you could be removed from the Board per attorney Steven Mezers’ input and conversation with me.

All conversations with the attorney on behalf of the Board of Directors or for guidance as a property manager in this matter are attorney/client privilege, therefore I cannot discuss the details with you or provide  you with a written explanation.

Re: Your letter dated 4-17-2003

Dear Ms. Wilson, 

As there is no proposed or pending litigation in the matter of removing me from the Board of Directors via use of a dubious petition there exists no client-attorney privilege as related to a homeowners association as covered in Florida Statutes 720. 

I therefore am again requesting your explanation regarding the legal reasoning used to go about my removal from the board of directors. Please supply me with the following information:

  • The legal position of the board in regards to my removal
  • Who confirmed and certified that all signatures on the “petition” were the registered Lot owner for that Lot?
  • Who allowed two signatures for the same Lot number?
  • What specific governing document or Florida statute/s allow the use of a “petition” for removal of a director that applies specifically to Homeowner Associations (FS 720)?
Since you used the board meeting on 1-13-2003 to give legal opinions and advised the board in legal questions (see transcript) I will be forced to file an official complaint with the DBPR if no proper legal explanation will be forthcoming in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of this letter
I’m looking forward to your response! 

Sincerely,

Gary Kauffman
