Just an FYI to anyone interested. I was still employed during the Green Waste Build up issue. Originally an RFP went out for the Clearing & Grubbing and this RFP stated that green waste materials would be hauled to the maintenance area to be sorted so it could be reused.
Then the sealed bids came into the office and were then opened at a BOD meeting. As I recall the bids prices were all over the board, lowest was Ludwig @ like 120K and the highest (don't recall the vendor) was around 700K. Ludwigs bid won the approval of the BOD. YES, the Board approved this contract! It was so concerning to me that a BOD that seconded the motion to approve this contract was one who took part in throwing the GM to the wolves (pissed off owners) when it went bad.
Then on May 1st the BOD made a motion for the GM to Immediately remove the green waste pile at the maintenance yard and on 16th Ave. He did request bids for this task I recall 3 vendors responding and the lowest was chosen.
It is my belief that when the GM was instructed to IMMEDIATELY remove he went into action and should not be blamed solely for the cost as he was not instructed to get bids he was told to get rid of it!
It is my opinion that the BOD should have protected their employee (GM) right or wrong and not form a gang like situation that puts them in harms way which is what I remember happening.
I look at these posts for curiosity reasons but when I read posts that are just simply not true it really erks me!
It's really time to move on!

Where were you all with your bylaws quotes when this old former board was running our association into the ground with the help of the fired GM?
