Seagrove Property Management Company Refuses to Explain 'Emergency Board Meeting'

Here at the Nautilus Cove Condos there was a management company change from Seagrove on the Beach Property Management to Concord Management.

Seagrove was here first, then a change and Concord Management was there from March 1 to April 16th. Then it abruptly went back to Seagrove.

2 of the 3 BOD members met (via speakerphone) at the Seagrove Office in Santa Rosa Beach in what they call an "Emergency Board Meeting" which lasted 2 minutes (2:01 to 2:03 PM) on 4/16. (See 'unapproved minutes' below)

I asked the only BOD member elected by the owners why this management change. My inquiry was referred to Ross Pritchett, CAM, of Seagrove. The reply was that the BOD minutes are not required to show this.

I followed up with a more direct question asking him to provide the reason for the change. So far no reply.

So what we have here is a 2 minute "Emergency Meeting" with only the 2 Directors appointed Developer voting on the replacement and both of them voted by telephone at the Seagrove office. Now no one wants to talk about why this was necessary. Something smells with this rump meeting that neither Seagrove, Concord or the Board of Directors will explain.

My unofficial understanding of this abrupt switch is that Concord Management was notified by me of a pending civil suit that I was in the process of filing against Waterstone Resort Rentals and the NCC Board of Directors for the Waterstone breach of condo documents over a 10 month period and the BOD's continued refusal to enforce the documents. 3 days after I emailed and faxed the letter from my attorney to them, Concord was 'out' and Seagrove was back 'in'. It seems that Concord gave advice that those sections of the condo documents which I repeatedly cited, needed to be enforced against Waterstone and that the "Developer" who appoints 2 of the 3 BOD members would not allow them to be enforced. Thus Concord Management was either fired or they quit rather than be involved in a suit that was sure to be lost.

The issue involved here is that Waterstone purchased 4 units, has rented out at least 3 of the 4 to a 'labor contractor' for the use of imported foreign workers who work at the Marriott Hotel and resort in PCB. This use as a dormotory for imported workers is in violation of at least 3 sections of the condo documents.

This matter is now going to court and the inital attorney letters have been exchanged. You can see all this at:
