Petition Goals:

We, the undersigned co-owners of Fairfield Place Condominiums Association, demand a Special Meeting be announced immediately (as stipulated in our bylaws) held on a Wednesday evening at 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm (at FFP Clubhouse) to discuss the financial status of our community. At this meeting we demand an open discussion on the following items and that all co-owners can attend and bring documents, if they chose, that pertain to our community and laws governing our community and an attorney, if they so desire. We demand the FFP (Fairfield Place) Board of Directors bring the following documents and information and engage in open dialogue and a question and answer forum with the co-owners. We agree that Jennifer LaPointe will be the moderator of this meeting. We demand the Board assure a calm, safe environment in which Ms. LaPointe will not be interrupted when speaking. All co-owners will have a designated time to speak and the Board and Management company will answer questions with PROOFS of support to their claims. Co-owners can arrive and leave when they choose and motion for a vote on various items, as they suggest at the meeting, if desired.  NOTE: The documents we request that pertain to our community belong to the Associations (the co-owners) as stated in our bylaws, master deed and/or Michigan law ,and the Association (which is the co-owners) has rights to these documents without incurring a monetary charge for these documents. These documents must be provided to Ms. LaPointe three (3)days prior to the scheduled meeting so she can prepare her presentation. A second set should be provided at the meeting. In addition, Ms. LaPointe will be allowed to utilize a wall projector to present information to the co-owners.

This is a closed meeting for co-owners only, their attorneys, and Brigetta Doerr of Doerr Mangement. No other persons are permitted.

The Board must supply and bring to the meeting:

1) Actual & real Bank Statements (Operating and Reserve/savings) from all financial institutions associated with the Fairfield Place Condominium Association from the years 2021 - present month. This should include all months for the years 2021- present. The Board will sign the bottom of each page of the statements as true and accurate.

2) A signed written statement from the board stating the number of co-owners who have not paid their HOA dues from 2021 - present month/year (names deleted). Also, verification if the board permitted certain co-owners (names can be deleted) to not have to pay their dues, how many owners, and the amount that has not been paid. The Board will sign the bottom of each page of the statement(s) as true and accurate.

3)Three roofing quotes (replacement and repairs) in which two of the three companies are not affiliated with Dave Schneider or the Elieff brothers. The Elieff Brothers Roofing company can be one of the 3 provided quotes. Each quote will be signed by the contractor provider.

4) A written plan of execution of the roof project: when will it start, which building will be addressed first and why, and how the project will be funded. The Board will sign this written plan.

5) Copies of all contracts signed with Dave Schneider to manage our roofing project and all responses from our insurance company Auto Owners in regards to filings made on weather induced damage to our property (roofs, carports, etc) since 2021 to present.

6) Legal standing, as stated by an attorney, the Board’s legal claim to invoice former volunteer and elected Treasurer Jennifer LaPointe for $360.00 for bank statements. We understand that co-owner Ms. LaPointe has a letter from Fifth Third bank In East Lansing that she was not charged for bank statements, and regardless, there is no legal statute or precedent to have volunteer Treasurer pay for “cost of business” expenses she is required to perform by law, as outlined in our FFP bylaws, Master Deed, and/or Michigan Condominium Act. (The Treasurer is required to maintain the associations financial records and perform fiduciary oversight, by law- and therefore there is no legal to ask they incur the charges of this volunteer service). If the Board can not provide an attorney statement stating Ms. LaPointe, our fellow co-owner, can be charged for bank statements, then this invoice must be voided, in writing.

7) Proof that OTHER previous volunteer Board Directors were charged for cost of business expenses.    
8) A written statement from the Board on which board director(s) motioned to charge Ms. LaPointe for bank statements.
9) All invoices for legal expenses the Board has been billed by attorneys other than supplied attorneys by our Auto Owners insurance policy, to pursue actions against co-owner Jennifer LaPointe, specifically and separately,  and all other co-owners and why. If the legal costs charged to the Association are for other co-owners delinquencies,, you may cross out their names from the requested document. *The Board does not need to include attorney costs PAID by our Auto Owners Insurance liability policy. 
Invoices from all vendors from 2021 -Present for services charged to our Association and projected expenses.

10) Proof of rent paid on condo 6308 Beechfield from 2020 to present and proofs of collection efforts to recover any unpaid rent. (we understand that leases were signed by a Board Treasurer's daughter to pay the Association $600.00 per month to reside in condo 6308 and pay the association these rental fees). If repairs to the condo were done in lieu of rent, note who approved this measure, when, and supply proof of repairs/invoices.  Please provide Minutes of fact.

11) The co-owners agree to this measure: Electronic signatures are acceptable. Also, co-owners  may print the petition, sign, and photograph the petition and email to Jenlapointe.fp@gmail.com, or drop off the printed petition at 6352 Beechfield Drive.  Furthermore, we acknowledge that the co-owner email list was made public previously and can be utilized to convey information between the shareholders pertaining to the actions or inactions of the board, that represents the co-owners/shareholders. Co-owners have the right to block email correspondences if they desire and it is the co-owner)(s) responsibility to take such action, if desired.

We agree to the above and desire a Special Meeting to be scheduled as stipulated by our bylaws, upon receipt of the collected petition. Co-owners will be mailed notification of the Wednesday evening and date of meeting with proper notice.
