9. When will all 3 nets be installed properly?

10. Should the BOARD be ACCOUNTABLE for it's actions?

11. Should we have FULL Discloser on all Financial documents?

12. Why does the board prevent home owners from seeing Where and How are Association Dollars are being SPENT!

Recently I spoke with Tom Lyden, Sheffield Board Treasurer and he informed me that the association has full knowledge of of home based businesses within the Schaumburg Sheffield Towne, even though the By-laws forbid such actions.

Unfortunately their are  individuals that feel our By-Laws are only a suggestion and for them the rules do not apply!

Tom said that they have been aware of several day cares and other small business that have been operating over the past year or so. As most of you should be aware that this is a violation of  both the association by-laws and Schaumburg Village Code.

A question that needs to be addressed is what will happen if one of these CHILDREN get seriously hurt... These home based day cares are un-licensed, have NO insurance. Will there be a MAJOR lawsuit against our board and the association? Can we afford another blunder that will COST the association 100s of thousands of Dollars.

Other issues are that the By-laws state very Cleary that no business can operate here at Sheffield Towne Schaumburg that requires:

1. Employees

2. Client that are using limited resource such as parking Space.

3. Also the trash that build up from the DAY Care operating here on Oxford ct.

 Did you Know that you can voice you opinion here POLLS

Did you know that our President and Vice President are basically self Appointed!!!

So can we be guaranteed quality of service to all residents at all times... One that can respond to the every day demands on resources without limiting the QUALITY of SERVICE PROVIDED.

The Association is large and needs to have good consistent management to guide the association through our current issues & renovations. One that we'll be here for the long tuff journey ahead.

What will happen when the current PM resigns! Well it did happen and we have lost $200K! Now when we'll get a 6^th PM. Are delay in renovations, and a new plan...

Let's stop the insanity and and look at the real costs of continuing without consideration of what a PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY can do for the association.

What might the association achieve without the high turn over in property managers and the musical chairs the board has been playing.
