Why is the Ocean Pines Board permitting its governing and fiscal authority to be usurped?  Why has the General Manager been allowed to make change orders beyond his authority?  Why, after making such changes, has his authority been raised from $15,000 to $40,000? Why is he being allowed to change community-approved plans for the appearance of the new Yacht Club?  Who’s in charge here? What happened to promises to make the Board more responsive and responsible?

The Board must answer these questions and take back control of the operation of Ocean Pines. Board members must be fiscally responsible leaders and decision makers while abiding by all the governing documents for the operation of a home owners association provided by the Maryland Homeowners Association Act and Ocean Pines.  The hired General Manager should not be making determinations on spending beyond those necessary for the everyday running of the community. This isn’t River City but we have our own Professor Harold Hill selling us a band with seventy-six trombones.
