Master Board President Loses It
At the monthly Master meeting on November 6, 2008, the board's president screamed and pounded her fists on the table.
A little too tightly wound, huh? Perhaps someone needs a hobby and to get off the Lifetime Board Member train and let others speak.
PML Management Sued for Fraud By Homeowners
UPDATE: CASE SETTLES
Newly re-misengaged™ property management company PML has settled a lawsuit for fraud filed by homeowners in a different association. Homeowners alleged fraud for misrepresenting that homeowners could purchase and use a second unit in the association as a business office. A conditional settlement has been reached, avoiding the trial that was to begin on November 3.
Read the homeowners' complaint.
PML Property Management Not Returning Calls to Homeowners
edgewaterisle.com has received complaints from 3 homeowners that PML Property Management representation is not returning their phone calls. Hum......where have we heard this before?
HOA Attorneys Take It In the Shins: 2 Separate Attempts by HOA Attorneys to Intimidate Exposed
Two board members of the Edgewater Isle Master Association, mistakenly impressed by their own wisdom, apparently acted without a quorum (tsk, tsk) and directed an attorney to send a letter to a homeowner with all sorts of vague, fabricated, and bullying threats. They directed attorney Jeffrey Barnett attempt to silence an outspoken critic of the association.
The homeowner got her own attorney, and sent a letter back to both association attorneys Jeffrey Barnett and Sandra Bonato, calling them on their various fabricated and unproven statements.
The Master Association's second attorney, Jeffrey Barnett, sent a letter retracting his earlier letter (i.e., wiped egg off of his face) while the previously prolific pundit Sandra Bonato has been quiet on the whole issue. (Gee, Sandra....maybe you're a little embarrassed about your silly games being called out for what they are.)

HOW MUCH HOMEOWNERS' MONEY DOES THIS STUPID BOARD WASTE BY WHINING TO ATTORNEYS?
PML Management Admits to Destroying Homeowners' Landscaping
Thirteen years ago, PML's "maintenance workers" took it upon themselves to completely destroy a homeowner's landscaping. Homeowners were not notified that any workers would be performing any work within the exclusive use common area. PML's maintenance workers ruined all established landscaping and left the area appearing that a hurricane had it.
Now with photo.

A Reader Passes This On.....
A reader writes to let us know:

Comments = Nick Pargett is not licensed by the DRE (Department of Real Estate). In California one must be a Broker or under a Broker's license to practice property management. Just food for thought.
Thanks to the reader. If we all had known this a while ago. Maybe the Boards of Directors will exercise a little more caution before willy nilly turning over the management of other people's money to any schmuck. One only wonders if there are any legal consequences for practicing for the last 5+ years without being licensed. Anyone, anyone?
PML Continues Long-Held Tradition of Poor Customer Service
Edgewater Isle South has misdecided to mis-reengage PML as its property management company. The Board is obviously ignorant that years ago residents at Edgewater Isle loudly complained about PML's services, and PML was dumped in favor of Franciscan Property Management (for a while anyhow).
Now, PML is baaaaack.....but they don't seem to have improved. Read it
UPDATED: And see homeowners' response to PML's unceremonious return.
History Repeats Itself:
World Shocked As South BOD Rehires Management Company It Previously Booted 
After seemingly going through every last property management company on the Peninsula in the last 11 or so years, the Edgewater Isle South BOD decides to rehire PML, a company that the Board fired 10 or so years ago. Rumor is not a single current board member was a homeowner 10 years ago when PML was previously thrown under the bus.
The South BOD says that the owner of Pargett Association Management has decided to leave the property management business. With leaves us with one question: was he ever really in it?
Taken from archive.org, Pargett.com site from 2002.
Taken from current Pargett.com web site, 4/26/2008.
One more question: Will Nick still read edgewaterisle.com? We'd hate to wave goodbye to a loyal reader.
Congratulations to Moxi Posner and everyone else who have exposed the maldoings™ of this former property management company.
This Day In Edgewater Isle History
A new feature at EdgewaterIsle.com, we bring you This Day in Edgewater Isle History. Twelve years ago today, a shot rang that signaled the beginning of the end of one property management company. This property management company ended up losing 2 HOAs after this story appeared.
Will 2008 soon look like 1996? Will history repeat itself? (Update: Yes.)
Edgewater Isle North is a Big Fat Liar*
lie -verb to express what is false; convey a false impression
Board of Directors Gets Lost Finding "The High Road"— "High Road" Not in Their TomToms®
Edgewater Isle North Homeowners Association board of directors chose to L I E to the members in July 2006 when sending out a newsletter containing information that the Association had won a small claims case in which they were the defendants. The Association had actually LOST in small claims court. (But who cares about the actual, um, you know, truth when there's face to save?)
The judge's ruling said:
RULING: Defendants have until 7/21/06 to deodorize Plaintiff's insulation at Defendant's cost....If Defendant refuses, judgment will be determined within 30 days of Defendant's refusal.
And the lying liars on the board of directors then said:
The board members lying liars consisted of Bert Mittler, Mimi Lee, and Ben Cintas.
For a case which was never about money, never about a "cash award" but about quality of life and doing the right thing, the BOD not only loses, but lies about it. Apparently this ass-kicking in court bewildered these three "board" members so much that they again fail to do the right thing —demonstrated by this lie they committed in print. Losers.
And, finally, Mimi Lee goes and whines to the Master Board because the Master settled out of court. (That one's coming soon.) Get a hobby, lady. Or at least learn how to take defeat with dignity.
