Subject: Fw: Petitioner's Motion for
Rehearing and Addendum.
Honorable Governor Jeb Bush,
Sir, with all due respect,
We'd appreciate your attention to the
matter of a simple request by a resident of this community to review the
meeting minutes of his CONDO association. Can we impose upon your valueable
time to request a review of this matter by your staff?
As you and your staff will learn from
these attachments, a rehearing was requested on 13 March 2001 but neither
the arbitrator, the associations attorney or the Department of Business
and Professional Regulation have responded within the timeframe alotted.
Our president, Jan Bergemann, has corresponded
with the department relative to this matter and sent a copy of his letter
to your office, also.
Incidentally, this ongoing dispute is
partially documented at our Web site and that of the petitoner, Manuel
Blanco. He can furnish information and access to same upon request.
What should have been a simple matter
to resolve has emanated into a form of 'stonewalling,' abuse of power by
a CONDO association and an inappropriate decision from the arbitrator with
no end in sight except an attempt to 'wear down' the resolve of the petitioner.
We have purposely decided to refrain
from dispatching the events leading up to and the current status of this
petition to our News Media friends. We believe, at this time, it's the
fairest approach while your office is reviewing this matter.
Please do what you can to assist our
friend and member, Manuel Blanco, toward a sensible resolution and conclusion
in this matter. While this might seem to be an isolated incident we're
sure, Division of CONDO records would prove otherwise.
We've included recent comments from
Manuel about this matter.

Thank you very much for your consideration.
We look forward to your reply.
Gratefully,
Robert Janauskas

Petitoners Addendum To Motion For Rehearing
Hi Bob:
I agree; I have spent so much time -- and
so far over $200 -- on what I thought would be a simple dispute to resolve.
There has been no response at all from
either the Arbitrator nor the Respondent's attorney regarding my Motion
for Rehearing and its Addendum, which was filed pursuant to the Florida
Administrative Code Rule 61B-45.044 that reads in pertinent part: "Any
response to the motion must be filed
within 10 days of service of the motion."
I don't expect a direct response from the
DBPR because I have not contacted them. I am waiting for the response from
the Arbitrator or Jan regarding his letter to the DBPR, or both.
Feel free to send the documents to Gov.
Bush. This is an excellent opportunity to bring to his attention how an
arbitration case has been mishandled by the DBPR.
I wonder how many more arbitration cases
have been disposed of similarly but the Petitioners don't take the time
to pursue justice and give up -- so the DBPR continues with this kind of
abuse.
Ciao,
Manuel |
