Sheffield Towne Association Home Owners Voice

Sheffield Towne is a self managed Planned Unit Development under the management of a nine member Board of Directors, who volunteer their time and expertise to benefit OUR community...

REASONS WHY the SHEFFIELD TOWNE WEBSITE IS DOWN!

1. Property Manager (failure to communicate effectively)

2. Assistant Property Manager

3. Current President of the Sheffield Towne Association.

4. When Douglas Grier Resigned as president early in 2008.
   He was the primary reason I volunteered to build the Sheffield Towne website for the association, and then to support the board via the website. Doug in my opinion was trying to do good for the association. It was unfortunate that he was unable to continue in his position.

5. Failure to communicate by the board & management.

6. Failure to complete Work Orders sent via website, and it makes the webmaster look bad!

7. Webmaster is disappointed in the current managements professionalism in dealing with issue and finding resolution.

8. Difficulty working with the Property Manager to build a better website. He refused to embrace the technology...

9. Sheffield Towne Management's failure to reciprocate for services rendered by webmaster, i.e. place ad in newsletter for webmasters business. Never Happened!

 By this years end a proposal for lower operating cost and more consistent service  to all residents will made public for review.

Anyone that wishes to help examine how out sourcing to professional management company could impact our financial bottom line and avoid rising home owners association fees...  Is invited to do so HERE

 One that we can be guaranteed quality of service to all residents at all times, not just during a single 3" snow fall... One that can respond to the every day demands on resources without limiting the QUALITY of SERVICE PROVIDED.

The Association is large and needs to have good consistent management to guide the association through our current issues & renovations. One that we'll be here for the long tuff journey ahead.

What will happen when the current PM resigns! Then we'll get a 6^th PM and, a delay in renovations, and a new plan... Let's stop the insanity and and look at the real costs of continuing without consideration of what a PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY can do for the association.

without the high turn over in property managers and the musical chairs the board has been playing.

       provide the following unbiased services... Website
