The interim general manager of the POA has decided it is no longer necessary for an independent auditing firm to receive and count ballots for the POA board of directors election. He has directed the POA board to change the bylaws of the Village Section VIII to reflect his wishes.
By counting the ballots in house by POA staff, the POA could save an estimated $10,000. The only impact would be lost hours of real work by POA employees and no certified guarantee the results are accurate.
If only two people run for the two open spots in 2011 the POA would save an additional $30,000. According to the acting general manager no election would be necessary.

Doesn't it usually take a vote to change the by-laws, and a vote with a super majority at that?
ReplyDeleteYes, the POA board vote will be made official on November 17. The Board appears to do whatever Kosoglow tells them to do.
