To the Board of Directors:

A group of unit owners of Aquarius Condominium, formally express their collective concern regarding critical operational, managerial, and governance deficiencies that urgently require attention. The following issues have significantly impacted the community’s safety, functionality, and trust in leadership:

I. Operational and Maintenance Failures

1. Construction Delays: Phase I of the construction project remains incomplete due to inadequate oversight, including overdue deadlines for the new beach stairs, ramp, and access door.

2. Neglected Facilities:

   • Broken beach chairs and umbrellas remain unrepaired or unreplaced.

   • Persistent water leaks in the beauty salon and malfunctioning air conditioning in common areas and the restaurant.

   • Elevator failures, including the gym elevator being out of service for 13 days.

3. Landscape Deterioration: Common areas suffer from decaying landscaping due to insufficient irrigation and maintenance.

II. Staffing and Resource Mismanagement

• High Staff Turnover: Frequent personnel changes disrupt operations.

• Misuse of Staff Roles:

  • Assigning the maintenance supervisor to non-core duties (e.g., accompanying exterminators).

  • Delegating custodial supervisors to cover office staff vacancies.

• Security Concerns: Inadequate staffing and oversight compromising resident safety.

III. Lack of Financial and Operational Transparency

• Budgetary Noncompliance: No annual operating or capital expenditure budget for fiscal year 2024 has been presented to owners, violating governance standards.

• Exclusionary Governance:

  • Board agenda items and supporting materials are not shared with owners in advance, depriving stakeholders of meaningful review or input.

  • Decisions are routinely approved without owner consultation, fostering distrust.

IV. Request for Immediate Action

We suggest the following actions to restore accountability and functionality:

1. Timelines for Resolution:

   • Provide a detailed schedule for completing Phase I construction and overdue projects (beach stairs, ramp, salon leaks, elevator repairs).

   • Submit a maintenance plan for landscaping, furniture, and common areas.

2. Staffing Review: Restructure roles to align with expertise and ensure adequate security coverage.

3. Transparency Measures:

   • Distribute budgets, agendas, and supporting materials at least 7 days prior to meetings.

   • Establish a formal process for owner feedback prior to Board votes.

4. Special Meeting: Convene a forum  to address these concerns and present actionable solutions.

We expect written acknowledgment of this letter and a plan of action.
