United Civic Organization ELECTIONS

United Civic Organization ELECTIONS

Here we are in another election season for Officers and Board Members for UCO.

Question:

Should we reelect officers and Board Members who ignored their responsibility to follow the mandate of the Millennium Agreement and:

1. Negotiate
2. Mediate
3. Arbitrate
4. Finally, file a law suit when the first three clearly fail to resolve the issues, and CLEARLY we have a real chance to improve the outcome with EVIDENCE supporting our position.

The Candidates seeking reelection clearly ignored this contractual mandate and began the legal action WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF THE Delegate Assembly. Only a FEDERAL JUDGE finally put a stop their efforts.

Many believe we need someone to run against these officers who violated their responsibility and defeat their reelection bid, soundly.

Many others believe they should resign in disgrace, for their failures of judgment. Especially, since their actions have placed many hundreds of thousands of your dollars at risk in these legal actions.

How do you feel? I am sure that both the candidates and your neighbors want to know.

Just call me RMPM (Residents for More Professional Management). I have no complaint about the hard workers who keep the everyday business of the village clicking along, I kiss their feet. However, for the last 8 years I have watched the top of UCO make huge errors as they go for more power, bigger facilities, personal whims and desires. We are a multicultural village of 10,000. What are we doing with bossism, sheep-like delegates, and committee people who think meetings are social events. There are too many antiquated people who smirk ‘that’s the way it is, nothing can be done‘, for simple matters that any problem solver with a pc could knock out in minutes. We need modern standard commercial efficient professional management and solutions, corporate business-type organization. We need to get rid of “When you are a president in CV you can do anything you want” Riiiight!

I tend to agree with a previous post in that the divide and conquer mentality is not the way to manage anything.

I'd suggest the formation of a task force to INVESTIGATE a different process for the administration of the Village.

Perhaps this would be somewhat like a Town Manager form of Town management or something entirely different and not considered at this time.

What harm could investigation do? In my opinion the current process is covered with warts and is hardly effective.

Since this task force has not been considered at this point perhaps it should be developed outside the current administration?

I would love to hear some comments, other opinions and any questions.

I think you would have to get some people elected to office that are of the same mind on hiring a management co. to run UCO.
