Yes, I agree.

I believe the pictures were posted for the following reasons:

- demonstrate the video security system is fully operational
- emphasize the fact that the Board and Property Management are actively
monitoring the facility
- provide feedback to the community that actions are being taken to
remediate the dog problems & security issues
- give all residents in the building ample time to clean up their act
before formal fines are issued

I don't think anyone wants to get hit with a fine for breaking the
rules... and I'm certain that the board doesn't want to issue the fines. I
agree, the arguments over the pet problems are silly, but at the same
time it is also evident that problems are a hot topic for many residents.
My guess is that pictures will not be posted in the future, but all
problems with residents will be handled in a private matter. I think this
was an attempt to send a message and give everyone a fair warning. Let's
face it... who wants to attend a board meeting and hear arguments about
pet problems. I'd much rather go to a meeting and discuss when the spring
flowers will get planted.

Closing thoughts... I find it interesting that the pictures are posted on
the bulletin board so that anyone can remove them at any time, yet they
have not been taken down. (There is a trash can in the vicinity of each
bulletin board for this very reason.) It is also interesting how quickly
the pet problems are diminishing since the roll-out of the new system.

Best regards,

Re: Follow-up on dogs

I did attend the last board meeting. I was 1 of 2 people there that were
not on the board. Yes, all those things were discussed but nothing ever
comes of it.
  i agree with the person the other emails that have been written here.
  Those pictures posted by the elevator were horrible and totally not
fair. We paid a lot of money for those security cameras, not cameras to
bust people who live here, pay mortages and taxes to live here. this is so
silly and babyish. punish the people individually, dont make them wear a
scarlet A in the building and dont make it so people are scared to make
any moves in this building. we are supposed to be a community. these
emails and posted pictures are tearing this community apart and making it
so people want to move. who wants to live in place where your pcitures are
posted. that is disgusting.

  If residents would just come to the board meetings and talk with the
board
members and property management. All these items are discussed at each
meeting:

- pending litigation
- USA Dish contract
- real estate tax appeals
- security measures
- litter thrown onto the street
- broken elevators
- and a whole array of issues that receive the "full" attention of the
board members and property management

The last board meeting had around 12 people present. 5 of those people
were board members and one was the property manager. But this is nothing
new, board meetings have had poor attendance for many years. It's a shame
that more residents don't take the time to get involved in the community
in which they live.

FYI... the next board meeting is scheduled for June 13. I encourage
everyone to attend.
