According the YTD financial report through September of 2016, the board has spent a surprising amount of money on its website in just the first nine months of this year---As of September 30, 2016, the TTCA has spent $12,677--and over $9,000 of that was for services not even in the 2016 budget. Rather remarkable when owner Mark Dunbar manages to operate this website at no cost to owners. Owners awaiting window repairs surely aren't too happy about this discretionary expenditure.
Here's where we are at through the third quarter:
$2,921 Internet services
$9,547 Website Development and Management
$209 Web hosting
$12,677 YTD through September 2016
While the Internet Services is on track to meet the $4,104 allowance in the 2016 budget, there was NOTHING in the budget for Website Development and Web Hosting (perhaps there is $400 annually
for web hosting, but the monthly allocation shows $0).
Why the budget mistake in 2016? Kind of hard to understand, since expense in 2015 were significantly higher than the 2016 budget:
Actual 2015 Annual Expense:
$3,965 Internet services
$962 Web hosting
$4,927 Actual 2015 Annual Expense

This is surprisingly expensive. Anyone who knows about web design and maintainance knows this cost is absolutely excessive. Heck, I'll bet a condo owner could even volunteer to run the website for free or for $250 a year? Another example of how bad this Board is. Horrible leadership. Just astoundingly horrible.
Here is something else they are not looking into:
