LEGAL DEMAND LETTER SENT TO MCA   

On Monday we made an important shift from providing information, to taking legal action for the community.

Based on the information accumulated on this website, and especially as expressed in the last two posts on the board’s legal duties, our lawyer has prepared a demand letter. It was sent on Monday and the MCA received it today.

The demand letter is focused on two issues as they are the most comprehensive and urgent issues. In brief, it lists the boards failures to meet its legal duties to MCA Homeowners and articulates our demands on two issues:

  1. We want a better economic deal for use of MCA Homeowners’ assets, whether it is with TMCC, MCA operating the assets directly, or a third party, and we want independent expert advice on how to achieve that.
  2. The independent negotiation of a lease renewal with TMCC that rectifies the many governance failures in the past leases, and limits its length to 1-year, so that any findings from the first point can be promptly implemented.

(You may note that the demands are expressed by a single MCA Homeowner. This is necessary for legal purposes, but it expresses the views and efforts of all of us)

This is an important step to addressing these two issues, but
the board needs to know that it reflects YOUR views too.

So, we have a very important ask from you: Let the board know that you support the “Diaz Demand Letter” by emailing the MCA GM at francesrippcondi@meadowsca.com, and copying us at ForTheMeadows@SarasotaMeadows.com. Or send your support in writing to the MCA GM via mail or dropping off your comments at the Meadows Community Center office. Please ensure your emails include your MCA Homeowner name and Meadows address. Keep it clear, concise and respectful.

This is a really important part of the efforts to bring about meaningful change in the governance of the community. So please do your part and ask all your fellow MCA Homeowners to do so as well.

    Hi!! I think a lot of us are worried about ANY type of recrimination or adverse response from the MCA and its officers on a personal level. From what I can see , y’all  have our best interests at heart and everything that you write and submit is to the point and valid.   I’m still surprised that you were not elected to the board!!!! SOMEONE is very frightened!! Thanks for all your work and I’ll re read what we have to do! Sincerely Deborah URCIUOLI LWC

      Thanks for your support. Although we were inspired by Joe and Ken, they are not directly involved in this website anymore (but of course are supportive of it). We hope you’ll join the others who have already written emails in support of the “Diaz Demand Letter”, and don’t be bullied by the MCA any more.

      Yes. Just need to say “We support the Diaz Demand Letter” and provide your ownership name and Meadows address. Some homeowners have included additional commentary but the main purpose is to demonstrate MCA Homeowner support (and this isn’t just the view of a few MCA Homeowners on a website)

    This is a great and much deserved call to action. The management company is a joke and scapegoat for the MCA. You have my full support.

    Well done, and thank you for all your time and research related to this effort. Another board that does not have the whole community in its best interest. I appreciate those who do something other than just complain.
