The current Management Contract expires March 31, 2014--twelve days from now. The BOD has not yet placed a new Management contract on the business agenda. A new (or renewed) contract requires requires a motion and voting at a meeting. Does this mean the Management Company is not going to be picked up? Or is this just an oversight by the BOD?

What happen with the management contract? Did the BODs bring this up at a BOD Meeting as new business? Maybe a owner could request a copy of the new contract with Stmbug Ixx Inc., if one was every signed,sealed and delivered. I believe the contract between, SLohA and Stmbug Ixx Inc to manage our community, also Bd S. is able to sign SLohA checks. Well, we should have privilege to that information in detail. (long version) Any feedback is welcomed.

This current Board is under the control of the Management Company and obviously will use its authority to enter into any contract terms it wishes. It is not something that Owners are entitled to weigh in on---though a responsible board would assess the wishes of the Members before considering retention of a .
I have always believed that, a re-constituted board which had the best interests of the community in mind--rather than its own limited interests--would return the balance of power where it belongs--to S-bag owners, as represented by members who understand the meaning of fiduciary duty and the proper roles of BOD & .
If I were Queen, I would encourage a change in the Bylaws to REQUIRE an annual voting by members on retention of the Management Company and CAM. A Renewable Contract by vote of the Members. Annually. I think owners would see very different behavior by the and CAM if it knew its term was controlled by Members rather than Inbred, Lazy, Egotistical and Self-interested directors.

MANBOD says: Contrary to what MANBOD would like owners to believe, the S-bag Resident Forum is focused on fact and evidence-based reports. It is targeted social media--the target being "all things S-bag". Most Guest commentary follows factual events accompanied by citations from homeowners laws and governing documents--material which may be unfamiliar to MANBOD.
All governing documents are posted here and the homeowner statute is posted AND updated after each legislative session. The MRTA law is also posted here.
Actual lawsuit complaints are posted on the Forum.
Evidence accompanies comments in the form witness reports, audio and video recordings, police reports, correspondence to owners, outside regulatory documents and photographs. Official records requests are posted here.
ALL owners and residents are welcome to Read--or Post--including those who invite KCN to come to their computer and put a redirect on their desktop to CHUG.
The Forum moves all material from CHUG to the Forum so that everyone can read Minutes and Financials--not just those who joined CHUG.
All Forum Categories and Boards are identified and organized into easily recognizable segments. The Administrators actively reorganize posts under relevant threads, so Guests do not have to go searching for relevant information.
There is a global Search feature so that you can find a key word that occurs in all posts and find out everything that has been written about a subject.
And, Administrators actively moderate the forum so that known idiots are not permitted to Slash and Flame other Guests, as happened recently.
Compare that with CHUG which posts whatever documents it wants--whenever it gets around to it.... and the only people who can read are those who signed up and registered on CHUG club. There is no interactive means for members to communicate with each other and there are NO governing documents posted except for the recent set of doctored Rules in April 2014.
Even Classifieds are truncated; if outsiders try to get the details on a listing, as instructed on the page, they receive NOTHING. I tried it and I have a buyer who tried to get listings in addition to mine, but never heard anything. She only reached ME because I put my contact into the Text of my ad.)
But there is Plenty of information about S-bag Internet i.e. K C Networks.
If you want to read Announcements, look under the Board of Directors Board rather than the Announcements Board!
Posts are in listed form and there are no organizational elements to separate a pool closure from Minutes. It is embarrassingly amateurish, utilitarian-ugly and user-unfriendly.
The Administrators of the Forum invite and encourage Readers to Ask MANBOD, Read CHUG and then compare and decide for themselves where to get the most fact-based, comprehensive and dependable source of information in S-bag.

I bet there is absolutely no way you could copy/paste what's below to CHUG is there? Can folks even have an opinion on CHUG?

You could..but if the opinion deviates from the MANBOD credo, it probably has zero chance of being posted.
