OSCEOLA
COUNTY -- A special meeting was called in Poinciana Friday to find out
what happened to the funds that were allegedly mishandled by the company
in charge of managing it.
|
The
meeting ended very much the same way it began: with a deep
divide between a group of residents and people charged
with managing the community.
The
special meeting was called by a member who said Poinciana
Homeowners’ Association president Peter Jolly was
overstepping his boundaries by asking too many questions
of FirstServices Residential, the company hired to conduct
Poinciana’s business.

He
sent a letter to the State Attorney’s Office for Osceola and Polk
counties, alleging at least $2 million is unaccounted for.
“We
have a management company that does not follow the
orders of the APV Board of Directors. We have the tail
leading the head,” Jolly said.
Residents
said they support Jolly’s call for an investigation,
but others oppose it.
Board
member Tony Iorio is also vice president for Avatar, the
developer of Poinciana.
He
said the property management company is an open book.

“Until we hear back from an auditor
that there is an impropriety, no one has proof of such,” Iorio said.
Proof
every penny is accounted for is exactly what Jolly wants.
A
motion to remove him as president failed Friday, so his mission continues.
“As
president, I have a responsibility to make sure there is transparency,”
Jolly said.
