The Devil Made me Do It - Blame it on the Loopholes

May 10,  2008                     

During Thursday’s CZ Master Association’s Candidate’s Night designed for Coto de Caza residents to meet the candidates running for two seats on the CZ Master board, the first question mischaracterized our position,  asking an either or question:  “Buzz says the CZ board is handling elections illegally, the board says it is legal – which is it”?.  Our response made it clear that the California Law passed in 2006, which we lobbied for, was designed to bring direct democracy to common interest developments, and we want the CZ association to meet the letter and the spirit of the law.  Apparently the person asking the question was not well versed in common interest development issues, or was simply trying to mislead the audience or the candidates.

In responding to the question, Dr. Channing, echoing Obaman positions  previously expressed during the Varo/Mezger administration stated he supported the current delegate system, critics call corrupt, because there is only a small group of volunteers who get involved in managing the affairs of the association anyway.

A degringolade then happened as Madame president stretched the law of attribution to its limits stating that the reason the CZ Master association does not have direct popular elections is due to loopholes in the aforementioned California law, echoing  former Enron chairman and chief executive Kenneth Lay’s defense – it is in the loopholes stupid!

And folks, the notion of requiring a Quorum and Meetings in keeping with our current Delegate system to hold Board elections is all a bunch of baloney.   I own three properties involving HOA’s and we just vote by mail.  There is no meeting or quorum requirement designed to disenfranchise Members who are paying all the bills.  This is just another road block to direct popular elections that is nonsense.   Joseph Morabito, former member CZ Master Associaiton
