Earlier this week, I announced that the Board of Directors recently hired a new security manager. Three weeks into the job, Austin Freeman formally introduced himself to unit owners at the Feb. 21 Board of Directors meeting and discussed the proactive steps he is taking to enhance all aspects of security at the association. See the video of his presentation HERE.
We’re very excited to have someone with Austin’s impressive background working for us, because we believe that ensuring the safety of the community is our most important responsibility. That’s why it’s so upsetting to see our opponents in this month’s Board election play politics at the expense of security. As I reported earlier this week, the Doug Meyers slate (consisting of Doug Meyers, Stuart Wolff and Dan Coco) appears committed to rehiring our former security manager Elwood Metayer, who was let go several months ago for various performance and conduct issues as well as a concerning rise in security-related incidents during his time at the association. In recent weeks, Doug Meyers has invited Mr. Metayer to International Village a number of times to campaign for his team. As recently as this Wednesday, an observant owner noticed Mr. Metayer’s vehicle parked in front of the St. Moritz building and took this picture of the guest pass on his dashboard showing he was there at Mr. Meyers' invitation. This is no way to play with something as important as security. Promising a dismissed employee his old job back in exchange for his active support in a board election is just wrong. Shame on you, Doug Meyers.
