What to do?...What to do?.....What to do?

Hi Everyone. Last Wednesday, 9/12/07, we had our monthly tenants meeting here at Westfield. This meeting is open to everyone who resides at the lofts. Sharon Conard-Wells attended this meeting and had some concerns that she felt the need to express. Unfortunately, her concerns were not on the agenda of topics to discuss.

One of the items that was discussed (minutes to follow shortly) is whether we should be posting the minutes of the meetings here on the blog for everyone to see as some folks perceive these minutes as private and that by posting the minutes, some people may be placed in harms way even though we use initials only. Another aspect to these minutes is whether we should have such lengthy minutes. Well, I did a quick google search for my name first out of curiosity as to see what would come up (not much really. LOL). I then searched for Sharon Conard-Wells as Sharon had expressed concern that there is negativity being expressed about her on the internet. Well, one of the first things to come up was some meeting minutes and her attendance at this meeting. My points to this are two-fold. First, the minutes are long and detailed. Great! Second, they are out there for anyone. So, at this point, we will be continuing to have good detailed note taking and will continue to post the minutes here. I have taken the liberty to share what I found. Here is the link: http://www2.sec.state.ri.us/omfiling/pdffiles/minutes/794/2004/2518.pdf

This blog is not only considered opinion or an electronic diary/journal of sorts, but it is this blog that has fostered a small community of tenants who are interested in continuing to work with the management company that runs Westfield Lofts. If this blog is perceived as negative at times by some, well, then I apologize. However, sometimes it is important to identify the pink elephant that is in the middle of the room to get things done. The pink elephant in this case consisted of the video cameras that were not in, the towing that was not being enforced, etc.

More to follow.
