board president is not in business with owner of managing company per john H of B&H

modified posting headline to update the information i have received from john H that he doesn not have any business dealings with Mike F.
In my simple mind when a boardmember of a newly formed bank solicts someone to invest in their bank, it is a business dealing. Per john H letter, he has no business dealing with the board president. I use the word solict, because that is the terminolgy and word the board president used in the annaul meeting.

originail post= in case you didn't know. i didn't know until recently. Our board president has some kind of business relationship with John F. Holzinger Jr.
i don't know how long this has been going on, but i have problems with it.
i believe this was first divulged to the board members when they refinanced using John F. Holzinger Jr Bank. I think out president is a big investor in this bank.
This Bank IMO has political issues that are contrary to our neighborhood.
The Bank is a big supporter of the project on Alexander street and JFK marina.
This project would be a disaster for our neighborhood.
i always wondered why no one from our co-op board was at the meetings at city hall concerning the alex street master plan.
our building has a conflict of interest with the company we pay.

rally sunday across street

lots of leaflets out from RCCY this weekend , think there is a rally today , whoops make that Sunday at 1pm.
i am pretty outspoken, so i will say it here and have said it locally,
RCCY really does not act as a community organization for us. Nor would i call them our community group.
i have contacted them quite a bit in the last two years, since i first heard of them.
They only seem to have one issue , don't block their views. Now they are getting involved with the Pit , That is a good sign. The people ar the greystone buiding 1085 Warburton , must be going nuts with that disaster, imaging trying to sell if your facing that side ?
at least on this flyer they are speaking up about the disaster that forced the people next to the "PIT" out of their house , was it one or two Easter ago?
i need to check the zoning map they are trying to change to make sure our area, especially Harriman avenue is included.
i support the low rise zoning regardless, this neighborhood has nothing of a retail, social presence, so much could be done here if we had some interested people. we have a tremendous amount of open usable green space that could be put to use as a community garden .

i'm back

it has been a long time since i kept up with this blog, without any community feedback or support, or seemingly interest , i have caught up on some of my own personal to do list. i also have medical issues that wipe me out for periods of time, and require my complete attention. This is a reason i don't want to be a board member. that can always change, and i can tell i still know more about the operation of this building , the laws, and building maintenance than a majority of out board members, on my worst days. We have a couple good members, and we need to support them. It is a real shame that bob Riley stepped down, that IMO is because we, I , did not help him out and give him support. Dealing with board members that refuse to give you the information you request , you can not do your board obligations..
getting involved in the co-op was the last thing i wanted to do, since i live here and like everyone else , just want to live my life without more stress.
hopefully with warmer weather i will see people outside and try and form some support since, as far as i see we have some big problems in the building.
i will place them under separate posts so they are easy to index.
i had done quite a bit if correspondence with the managing agent, the owner of barhite and holzinger refuses to speak to me .
i found out that the owner of our managing company has been a business partner of our board president , i don't know how long this has been going on but , IMO that explains a lot of the looked over stuff. since i haven't found much of any support or feedback in this building , i am going to go big with a co-op blog, concerning the whole metro area.
