DELEGATE ASSEMBLY MEETING, JULY 11, 2008
The Delegate Assembly meeting of July 11, 2008 was a highly orchestrated political absurdity. The orchestration was designed to prevent bringing a Sunshine Law Open Meeting Motion to the Delegates for a vote. A brief description of the process follows:
1) The Executive Board was directed to sit in rows 1 and 2
2) The Delegates were placed in rows 3 through 12.
3) All hard core Loewenstein supporters were ordered to wear red; Dot Loewenstein was passing out red strands of yarn in the Auditorium.
Howie Silver was designated as Chair of this meeting, he made no effort to follow the Agenda;
instead, he commenced to “introduce” everybody and their brother.
He introduced Dorothy Tetro, asking her to stand.
He introduced George Lowenstein and asked him to stand.
He introduced the Ushers.
He introduced the Executive Board and asked them to stand, but they refused.
Shouts arose from the Delegates for Howie to follow the Agenda and to stop trying to run out the clock.
Howie shouted at the Delegates that he had bypass surgery, and hip joint surgery, and “no one could tell him anything.
He shouted that the Delegates will do as their told until they are ready to volunteer and that he, Howie, would run the meeting, he told us of his transcendent experience of touching the “Wailing Wall” in Jerusalem .
Finally, the actual Agenda was commenced and the call was made to accept the Minutes;
Phyllis Richland rose to reject the Minutes as incomplete, since they had no mention of her comments on Open Meetings which she had made at the June Delegate Meeting.
Phyllis then moved to “Suspend the order of business in order to consider the Open Meeting Sunshine Law Resolution.”
Long drawn out discussion followed as Howie continued to run out the clock hoping for some Delegates to leave and thus lose the Quorum. Myron Solomon reprised his standard rant about the $10 million dollars.
King George raised a number of absurd objections, but in due course the Question was called and the motion passed with overwhelming support.
Shortly thereafter it is reported that George and Howie both resigned.
This meeting resulted in positive action for Democracy in Century Village and the potential for real benefits to all Unit Owners.

Oh my, what a zoo. Somebody should make a movie. Wouldn't work. Nobody would believe it.
Who said politics wasn't a contact sport ?

This is an attempt by cvblogger to put "HIS ONLY" spin on the meeting. The cvblogger probably sees himself as the self appointed decider as to what is right or wrong in the village.
The cvblogger has suggested that the
Q & A be shut down and perhaps this forum be the only on in use.This could prove to be bad as is this not what Germany did many years ago? Stifle any media other than the "official"one.
anonymous 12:04 PM, it works for me.
to anonymous 12:04. Like sheep being led to slaughter.
Why did George's wife hand out red yarn ? Is George too cheap to buy red armbands ? Whoops, I forgot, red armbands are probably not available in the United States of America.

Were you at the meeting??
You saying that David only
wants his spin is the
further thing from the truth. CV is very fortunate to have David
residing here and he has
so much knowledge and is
so brilliant to work with other intelligent people
that a few months down the
road everybody is going to
notice that "WOW...CV IS
THE GREATEST PLACE TO LIVE.
people
Sillynonymous don't you know the video is coming, how can CVBlogger affect that.
Thx for keeping us informed cvblogger, while we all await the actual video.
I thought all the anonymice resigned!
I predict that 12 months from now we will on this blog have complaints about how poorly UCO is run. The names of the officers will change but the complaints will still be the same.
I AM ANONYMOUS AND I DO NOT PLAN TO RESIGN OR STOP POSTINGS.
I to will continue to post no matter what kind of names the "names" call me.
to elaineb, Sorry but I did not resign.If you want to stop anonymous postings change the rules and watch this blog die.
To anonymous 12:45
I hope in a year from now the unit owners will have forgetten that there ever was a UCO.
David's back in the game and things, they are a hoppin. Very good news.
just another anony mous
Some of the "any mouses" are not quite aware of what took place. They should make a stronger attempt to find out what exactly took place, then give their decision. If they, after learning what took place still disagree with David, they should take a course in the English language so that they can better make sense of what took place. I, for one, feel David didn't portray it strong enough.
I am out of town,(thnak You blog for keeping me informed) Did George Lowenstein and Howie Silver hand in written resignations?
David...I would love to see you at the helm!! The truth prevails
Anony 12:45
12 months from now there probably will be complaints but The UCO process will be open for all to see. Please complain, if don't like the direction UCO is taking, CV is a democracy once again.
