Daytona Towers: Where Our Community Comes for Information


CORRECTION...

 In our second letter regarding the recall, we stated that we had the support of eleven former board members and 3 past presidents. We apologize for this error...we should have stated that we have the support of eleven former board members and FOUR past presidents. Thank you to all who brought this to our attention!

Also, to address concerns raised by Mohler in his letter of June 12: All petitions were sent out blank; that is the requirement of the state. We encouraged owners to fill in their ballots and send them back. They have a right to do so. We did not send any ballots out that had boxes already checked off. To do so would be in violation of the recall petition procedures, which we carefully followed. All petitions have instructions for owners to follow. Mohler claims that "some have been told it was only for Jack Aberman, Asst. Treasurer..." For all who read their petitions, it is clear that for each of the board members on the list, the owner has the choice of checking "recall" or "retail", again following the guidelines of the state.

Some owners have been told that to sign the petition to recall these board members will cost the association $30,000 in legal fees. Some have been told that everyone who signs the petition to recall will be sued for fraud. These claims are so ridiculous, and since the person who made those "threats" will deny every saying these things, we will not even respond. We appreciate the candor in Mr. Hoover's statement in his letter of June 23 to Charles Mohler and the other board members that the overwhelming number of owners who have voted to recall him, Blake, and Aberman, "at a minimum, is a 'no confidence vote' in our leadership".

Finally, we do not feel a need to dredge up all the reasons why some people want to see these board members recalled. Each unit owner can make up their own mind. The state and our own condo documents allow a recall of board members with cause or WITHOUT CAUSE. In other words, it is NOT necessary for anyone to stay why they want a board member recalled. Apparently Mohler wants people to "back up" their reasons for voting to recall him and others. That is not required, and is actually only the personal business of the person filing the petition.

OVERWHELMING SUPPORT OF RECALL...UPDATE JUNE 20, 2008

There has been an OVERWHELMING SUPPORT OF THE RECALL of three board members: Charles Mohler, Charles Blake, and Jack Aberman. We have received 106 PETITIONS IN SUPPORT OF THE RECALL and ONLY 7 petitions to retain the three individuals. This afternoon we have gotten calls from people being harassed by phone calls from Charles Mohler demanding to know if they signed a recall petition. Please just try to ignore this irritation. Note: Rescind letters could no longer be accepted after 9:50am Friday, June 20. That is when the board was officially served with the owners' recall petitions. This is a State of Florida regulation, which is why you can just ignore any requests for you to write a letter. (see link below to the State of Florida website to read this information for yourself.)

We are STILL ACCEPTING PETITIONS as they do NOT expire. If you have not returned your petition, please mail it to the Towers Recall Committee, PO Box 2144, Ormond Beach, FL 32175. Follow the instructions on your petition and fill it out completely. Join the majority of Towers owners in this recall effort and MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT. If you need a petition to fill out, contact us and we will send one to you. Thank you for your time and your courage.

Complete details of how the recall works is available from the State of Florida website here.
