News Flash--NO More Donna Mantin! Community Celebrates

Finally, some on the Board of Directors have taken appropriate action.   The dark storm clouds of fear and abuse over Jade Winds have begun to dissipate. 

I hope, pray, but most importantly, WORK for better days ahead.

Donna Mantin is no longer the community association manager of the Jade Winds. I doubt she will ever be a licensed CAM ever again. 

Santiago Perez is no longer president of the Board.   I doubt he will remain a Director much longer. 

Time will tell all.  Revelations reveal the truth. 


There is an Emergency Board meeting at the Jade Winds Office, Saturday, 25 October 2014 at 6pm.

I urged all unit owners and concerned residents to attend.

Please be patient with the process.  An open Board meeting is something that we may not be accustomed to but it is something we will perfect over time, one way or another. 

I look forward to seeing you all there, except for a select few who I now and forever consider personas non grata.  Good bye and good riddance to you. I hope the exit gate hits you on the way out.  

The Drama Continues...

The drama continues but the end appears near.    Our efforts are indeed paying off.   This administration is desperate and the Association is in shambles. 

However, now is not the time for unit owner complacency. This is the time when ALL unit owners must unite. 

We each have to step up and do our part no matter how big or small.   We all have something to offer so please make yourself known. 

 

Know and assert your rights.    

We MUST and we WILL take back community control. 

24 October 2014. Outside Jade Winds management office.
L to R: Donna Mantin, CAM34445 (delinquent license); Jesse Bergeman, Board Treasurer; and MDPD. 

Donna Mantin was leaving the office with Association correspondence.   Vigilant unit owners called the police and put a stop to that and the mail was rightfully returned to the office.

Donna Mantin was free to go and left the property willingly, this time.   I hope she never returns.

Case# PD141024388009.  Call MDPD at 305.940.9980 in about 1 week to see if the report is ready. I have no idea what it will say, I was not present.   More to follow soon.  

Jade Winds is Broken and The Board Refuses to Fix it!

Frustrated Unit Owners and Residents can not get adequate services from the Office. 

Elevators in a constant state of disrepair is unacceptable.

The "Office" Closed Again

Once again, the office is closed and unavailable for unit owners, vendors, realtors, and process servers just to name a few.   

Please note how the notice is displayed.  The lack of care is evident.   The lack of responsiveness is unacceptable.

Another crooked noticed posted--OFFICE CLOSED. 

EDIT:
September 18 2014

What administrative reason justifies closing the office with these sporadic hours and non-availability to unit owners, vendors, etc?
At least the notice is placed squarely this time.

Edit:  September 19, 2014

Back to crooked notices.

What administrative reason can cause the office to be closed more often than not?  What is the purpose of paying for management IF we are not getting management services? If the office is closed then unit owners and residents cannot resolve their business.    

Labor Day Holiday: Security Hard at WORK Making Life Difficult for Unit Owners

The last thing I expected to do today was write a blog post.  However, after witnessing what has just occurred here at the Jaded Winds, I have no choice but to share with you yet another glaring example of the continued pattern of abuse at the hands of security and management. 

I was at home, chillaxing. All was quiet. The kids are playing and having fun.  Perfect conditions to savor the holiday.

But at the Jade Winds things operate, how should I say it, ummm...different.

TAMARAC, Fla. -

A South Florida community is dealing with the sting of betrayal, as a once-trusted homeowner's association president is charged

Unit Owners Have a Right to Know and Act

Please read the documents posted below very carefully.   
 
It is a proposed Non-Compliant Case Agreement between Miami Dade County and the Property Owner, (in other words, the Jade Winds Association, the unit owners--You and I).

I will let you read it and make your own determination as to how critical and possibly detrimental this agreement is and/or can be.   Again, please read each and every line as carefully as possible. 

The final paragraph 12 of the agreement sums it up perfectly: 

In the event that the Owner fails to comply with any of its obligations as set forth in this Agreement, the County shall be authorized to demolish the Structure(s) without further notice to Owner. (emphasis added by the County.)  

Some key points to consider:

• Board meeting.  Shouldn't there be a Board meeting to discuss this agreement before it signed?
• Shouldn't unit owners be made aware of this agreement and afforded an opportunity to discuss before it is signed?
• Why is the Association in this unfavorable position to begin with? 
• Who is responsible for things getting this far and this bad?   
• Who is going to sign this agreement as Property Owner?
• What happens next?  

Let management know your thoughts about what I have presented here. 

This is not a joke nor is it gossip or a personal agenda.   This is a serious matter with serious consequences.  Enough is enough already or do you need a bulldozer at your front door to get you off of your ass to do something? 

You can't say you were NOT warned. 

Email and/or Call Management at:  jadewinds@gmail.com or call 305.949.4816 --good luck getting through on the phone. **
