It is quite amazing that you never know when your sins are going to punish you, or for that matter, maybe it won't be you.
About 4 years ago the Operations Committee, headed by David Israel did the usual work of this committee. One of the things they did was to approve the Club House Elevator Service contract. But of course they did not think it through or completely.
Now fast forward to Monday November 14, 2014. The elevator stops working. The Elevator needs service. But we don't have a 24 by 7 contract, and it is evening. So there is no service till the next day.
The card room, which is located on the 2nd floor is full of card players 75-90 years old. Many of them can not walk the stairs. So for the lack of a little foresite the Police, Firemen and EMS are called in to help. They carry everybody down the stairs, this was, for many of them, a very frightening and stressful experience.
Had the Operations committee done their job diligently 4 years ago, none of this would of happened. Had they included 24 by 7 service, like they should of, non of this would of happened.
I can only guess at the modif or thinking that must of occurred at this meeting to eliminate the 24 by 7 service. Had this not occured this incident would of been avoided entirely. Maybe it was miserly thinking. Maybe it was the usual uncaring thinking. I leave it to my readers to decide.
At any event the 24 by 7 service was not included!
