Welcome

 

Dear Queens Park Residents,

Over the past few months, the Queens Park Board of Directors has been researching the possibility of offering the OPTION of Electronic Voting to our residents.  The goal of this would be to increase participation in voting in the Queens Park elections as well as realizing a cost savings by reducing the amount of printed materials that we must mail to residents.

 

Recently Board member Bart Rragami distributed an Information Sheet to some of our residents (some were handed out in person, and some were left in mailboxes).  While I and the rest of the Board certainly support and defend Mr. Rragami’s right to his opinion on this matter, The information handed out was NOT the result of any action that the Queens Park Board of Directors approved as a board and does not reflect the opinion of the board.

 

Two statements in the information sheet are blatant Falsehoods.  First and foremost, Queens Park has always had fair and open elections where the results are tabulated by resident volunteers at the meeting and observed by impartial witnesses.  Secondly, the information sheet states that our Property Management company (Vesta) is the driving force behind the research into electronic voting when in fact all board members were given the option of participating in an online seminar regarding electronic voting.  After this Seminar, I and Board member Trish Richardson were the first to raise this possibility and make it an item on our agenda.

 

I would like to apologize to our residents for any confusion that might have been caused by the distribution of this Information Sheet.  

 

This document was approved for distribution in a 3-2 vote.

Yes – Miller, Fetzer, and Richardson

No – Listrom and Rragami
