I heard ''through the grapevine'' that the office space for our contractors, and past Bradley, Bartlett employees, Susan Hoover & Denise Nordstrom (Circle C Landscape & Full Circle Management - at 5919 LaCrosse) was leased to Bradley for 10 years. That's right, it's owned by our CCHOA, but leased to Bradley for 10 years. Apparently he gets paid for the use of our office space. Hhhhmmm

Boy, did they ever name that company right...Full Circle Management....Why not Self Dealing Management? or Screw Everyone but the Bradley Team Management?

Thanks again Rigsbee, O'Really & Bartlett, for making sure you all take care of yourselves before the residents.

I went to the Info Center to get a copy of this 4 page, 10 year long lease document. It exists, someone else had gone and asked for copies before me, so it was not there.

They said my own personal copies might be ready in a week. Maybe.

Now that's service!

Only a week to get a copy? Golly, shucks, thanks Info Center, or should I say Bradley employees!

You really do love us residents!

By the way, I'll figure out a way to post the 4 pages when (or if) I get them. Stay tuned.

Fascinating

On 3/26/2003 at the annual meeting, the BOD handed out a guide that included 19 questions (They called them FAQ's). Number 8 asked for full biographies and open disclosure from our CCHOA BOD.

THE BOD RESPONSE, as a response, in that same guide states: ''The directors are happy to provide biographies and other information to the members, as they have done in the past.''

On 4/1/03 I sent a full disclosure request letter, with the 2 items below:

''I Sal Costello, a resident of Circle C, with dues paid in full, request the following:

?• Immediate full disclosure on Steve Bartlett, The Bartlett Group and any other individuals/entities he is involved with including Gary Bradley, Brad Buetel (cousin and business associate with Gary Bradley), Susan Hoover exposing any compensation up to the present (or any future planned compensation) that has to do with any business south west of Austin, TX.

?• I also request Immediate comprehensive full disclosure on Jim O'Reilly and Ken Rigsbee. Three sentences in our Annual report is unacceptable. Regarding Jim O'Reilly or Ken Rigsbee, have they or will they receive any compensation or business deals with Steve Bartlett or Gary Bradley for any development in Southwest Austin?''

On 5/9/03...After 5 weeks, I received this reply:

''The Association's current and former directors do not have any legal obligation to make the sweeping individual financial and business disclosures that you demand.''

Fascinating, isn't it?
