Operations Meeting Report


OPERATIONS MEETING AUGUST 27, 2013

 

At the beginning of this meeting, Gary Olman stated he was going to record it.  David Israel immediately yelled, “The next thing he will be calling me Hitler or a Nazi. We’ll see what the courts have to say about that.”     Excuse me folks, but David’s outburst had absolutely no relevance to Gary stating he was recording the meeting. By now, we all know, when someone is to record a meeting, they are to announce it beforehand. This outburst reminded me of the movie “The Caine Mutiny” where Humphrey Bogart, as Captain Queeg started to go mad when all his men turned against him.  Is David going Mad?  Me thinks so.  

Skip to another part of the meeting. 

The Clubhouse needs painting.  $25,000 is allocated in the budget. The lowest estimate is approximately $10, 000 to $15,000 more. So, WPRF wants to take the money allocated for the renovation of the Southampton pool and add the money toward painting the Clubhouse. The reason being, since there is presently  Vandalism in Southampton,  contractors may be reluctant to do the work for fear their equipment will be stolen.

Toni Solometo was against it because she said we should not take money from  Peter to pay Paul.

Eva, said, we are not taking any money. We are simply transferring it. Well, if you take the Southampton money this year, you will have to budget additional money for Southampton the following year. Therefore, you are not only transferring money you are taking it away, and you will have to replace it, which  will add to the future budget. Toni was the only person to GET IT. The rest of the committee didn’t have a clue as to what she was talking about. .  Toni  was absolutely correct and the item was tabled.   When Ed Black transferred money from the budget in order to pay for the roadways, we got into trouble. At the time, we did not have the money in the budget to pay for the Roads yet; Ed Black felt it was prudent to transfer the money that was allocated for other items and spend it on the Roads. Because he did that, we wound up almost broke with a disastrous paving job.

 Toni’s advice is wise.  

If you DON’T have it, DON’T spend it.  

I tell what else happened that reminded me of 2 ball bearing being rolled around in your hand. When one of the board members was handing out the agenda, himself said that was to stop - no body hands out flyers at MY Meeting

  1. And if someone called 'the king' Hitler or Nazi, so what? I know for a fact that he called someone else in the village the very same things, publically in writing, and more than once as well. How things change when they come back and hit ya' in the a**, huh? He may not be a Nazi, but he certainly thinks and acts like one.

    1. He's not "the King." He's not "Hitler," even though he raises his right arm to tell you that "you're out of order." And, he's not a "Nazi." He's EL DUCE, the Dictator, and he even looks like him. YUK!!

  2. Oh Yes, that flyer Ms. Suzy was handing out when David went nuts yelling, "NO ONE HANDS OUT FLYERS IN MY MEETING," was the AGENDA.
    Yes folks, David is falling off the wall and all the kings horses and all the kings men will not be able to put him together again.
