Shelby Twp. Board Meeting of Feb. 7, 2012

An example of "Alligatoring" in
our base layer of asphalt.

The president and treasurer of the Manors Board of Directors addressed the Shelby Twp. Board of Trustees at their meeting of Feb. 7, 2012 on the issue of the final asphalt paving of the roadways at the Manors.

They spoke under the "Business From The Floor" agenda item shortly after 11:00 p.m., which was about four hours after the meeting started.   Video replays of the Feb. 7th Shelby Board meeting will be shown on Comcast channels 5 and 915 over the next week or so and it can also be viewed by going to the Shelby TV web site.

Since speakers under that agenda item are subject to a five minute time limit,  the Trustees were handed a letter with full details and the Manors Board president gave a five-minute oral synopsis of the letter and asked for answers to the questions that are also listed at the end of the letter.  None of those questions were answered by any of the Trustees, nor did they comment or ask any questions of the Manors Board president during his presentation.  However the Township Attorney did offer his opinion about what happened with the letter of credit.

The Manors Board treasurer then spoke extemporaneously to the Trustees and pointed out their lack of response to our prior communications and asked for the courtesy of a response to the letter we just presented to the Board of Trustees.   The Township Attorney responded that some sort of a response would be given within the next 30 days.

UPDATE, March 11, 2012: 30 days have come and gone without the promised response from the Township Attorney.  Also, we have not received any communications from members of the Board of Trustees, to whom we had addressed our letter.

An "attaboy!" for the Manors Blog

This morning as I was researching a condo for sale in The Manors at Central Park in Shelby Township I found a nice surprise: A blog written and updated regularly by Mike Grobbel who is a co-owner / member of the board of directors. I have to tell you, I am thrilled with the information on the blog and the helpful links to updated association documents as well as the handy list of co-owners who are service providers (plumbers, painters, etc.)................ Thank you Mr. Grobbel for providing this informative blog to your co-owners at The Manors at Central Park as well as us real estate agents who want to provide as much information as we can to prospective buyers!
