This is a response to the angry resident who criticized the Parson's Woods Board and Management Group. I have had the pleasure of dealing with Vanguard Management personally as a home owner and professionally as a board member. I find them responsive and refreshing to deal with. They were hired to replace a Management Group that will remain unnamed which we were receiving unsatisfactory performance from. It is not possible to please everyone as hard as Becky has tried. This person does not understand the responsibilities of the management group and fails to attend meetings where such subjects are discussed for which they were invited to attend. Additionally the management group can hardly be held accountable if this person fails to use properly established procedures for requesting landscape changes and for reporting violations even though they have been repeatedly requested to do so.

The Management Group does not approve landscape modifications either. This is done by the Architecture Review Committee (ARC) which is separate from the Board of Directors. Again this person knows how to do it but refuses to do so.

Had this person chosen to attend a meeting or look at the minutes from previous meetings, they would be better informed as to the boards need for a new management group and the associations need for an increase in assessment. But once again this does not fall on the Management Group but on the Board of Directors.

I invite this person to use properly established procedures that are intended to streamline these issues.
