On February 28th, 2001 the current BOD of 3 (Bartlett, Rigsbee & O'Reilly) approved an office lease with the CCHOA property at 5919 LaCrosse Ave. The 10 year (from 2001 to the year 2011) lease was to Phoenix Holdings with Bartlett as President of Phoenix Holdings. The lease included the CCHOA providing the double suite office space, CCHOA paying all taxes and all utilities. Phoenix Holdings would only pa $100.00 a month.

The taxes and utilities the CCHOA pays for this commercial spaces are much more than the $100.00 a month. Phoenix Holdings collects rent from Susan Hoovers/Denise Nordstroms two companies (Circle C Landscape and Full Circle Management) for the two suites (it's unknown how much Phoenix charges the two companies).

When the residents found out about this transaction this summer, Bartlett (a Bradley Business partner) immediately changed the president of Phoenix from himself to Brad Buetel (another Bradley Business partner). Bartlett knew this was wrong. This shell game of different people, different companies has been played on the residents for years.

How can this self dealing be good for the residents of Circle C?

What about all the contracts (Landscape contract, Management contract, Review and Inspection services contracts) that have gone to Susan Hoover (ties to Bradley) without any competitive bidding?

How about all the decisions Bartlett has made ''on our behalf'' that benefit his financial interests (him and his partners have tens of millions of dollars of undeveloped land) in and around Circle C that don't benefit the homeowners?

Why are the BOD fighting the residents and the CCHOA ByLaws committee for months? Why don't they want to give up any power and expand the board?

ParkWest 100 homes 3 BOD

Lake Pointe 900 homes 7 BOD

River Place 1,000 homes 9 BOD

Travis Country 1,525 homes 9 BOD

Circle C 3,000 homes HOW MANY BOARD MEMBERS SHOULD WE HAVE? (I think 9 would do the trick)

If you know O'Reilly of Rigsbee, the next time you see them in the neighborhood, ask them a question.

''Why did you give away CCHOA suites for more than what we (CCHOA) pay for taxes and utilities?''

Let us know what they say.

For your information, Ken did not say ''Hi.'' If Ken had said something, it would have been well beyond ''Hi''. Ken has elected to disregard most of the commentary which has been forwarded despite his requests to his email. However, Ken does observe that each of you is, indeed, dealing with ''jerks'', to accept your terminology.

Bye,
