      Complaint: 20176662

      I am rejecting this response because:  I did not make a personal attack, I called Mastino at 2pm and simply stated the facts as captured in this complaint and asked to speak with owner ********************  I was told that he would return my call, but have not received a call back yet as of 8pm.  Mastino is still the English Ranch South managing agent through the end of July.  It is not abuse to state facts about not having a lawn mowing contract that Mastino is responsible for ensuring is in place, failing to do for this season and failing to secure a new contractor for the past month - it is neglect by Mastino.  The *** board is not responsible for securing this contractor, only approving the contract that Mastino is responsible to secure.  I can understand a personal emergency for one of Mastino's staff late last week, but why wasn't a new mowing contractor secured between May 11 and this personal emergency on June 8?  Or why didn't another Mastino employee step in during the past two days to finalize securing a contractor?  The financials for multiple months over the past year have been 1-2 months late as shown in my attachment.  The May 2023 financials are not yet on the portal.  ********* has quickly responded to all questions from Mastino about the mowing needs and the entrance sign work that needs to be completed.  If you would like, I can attach the long list of emails confirming these responses.

      Sincerely,
      ***************************

      ation by the *** *** on May 11, 2023 and several follow-*** in the last few weeks, Mastino has still not contracted anyone to mow, and the grass/weeds are now over two feet high in places.

      This post does not warrant a response after the way that **** behaved today. They are making personal attacks and Mastino is no longer their managing agent.  Posting an email about their lawn service and not having a landscaping contract in place is an example of abuse. I don't mow and the Board hires the contractors. The Admin had a personal emergency on Friday and had to take some time off for personal reasons.  That was unacceptable to this group.  The financials are all on the portal and have been there for nearly a month.  BTW, your community did not like ***** H either and how she had such a conflict of interest.  I have offered to finish up by doing the fencing work and other items, but can't get a response from the board.

      **** is abusing his position being on the Board and posting information that the Board decides upon.  They hire the landscaping and had no problem hiring a neighborhood kid to mow the grass.  So, expecting my staff to jump through hoops when this contract has been terminated, makes no sense. Then he takes to the BBB to post information that is not factual as is showing the Board portal and not the Owner portal.  Financials are not due to be delivered until the 20th of the month. And with the former managing agent were not even done on a monthly basis.  So, this is just his ***** retaliation.

      Complaint: 20176662

      I am rejecting this response because it does not address they issues - it only makes invalid statements and excuses.

      ********* is the representative of the English Ranch South HOA as the customer for ********************'s ********************** services, so following up on this service complaint is not an abuse.  The attached contract between Mastino and ERS shows in section 8.1 that Mastino is responsible to "solicit bids, and negotiate contracts for execution by the Board for the services of contractors" and that "Mastino will maintain a contract log and 90 days prior to expiration will present the contracts to the Board for input on whether the Board wishes to put a contract out to bid."  ********* cannot execute a contract since Mastino has not completed its responsibilities to renew or find a new contractor.  ********* hired someone from the neighborhood to mow the grass mid May on a one-time basis because the mowing was a month overdue.  The management contract with Mastino has not been terminated - as shown in the attached document, notice was given on May 2 to terminate the agreement effective 8/1/2023, so it is still in place through the end of *********** ********* is not asking Mastino "to jump through hoops", it is asking Mastino to do the work is contracted and paid to do.

      As shown in the prior attachment, in several cases financials were posted over a month late by Mastino, for example February 2023 results posted on 5/17/23 - per section 5.5 of the management agreement "The Managing Agent will provide information, reports, specifications, financial statements, plans, meeting minutes and updates to the Board or a designated Board liaison monthly. This will be done by providing a monthly board update delivered electronically by the 30th of each month".

      I called the Mastino office on June 12th and asked to speak with **** Mastino.  I was told he would call me back.  Since he did not, I called again on June 16th and again asked the office manager to have **** call me.  **** has still not called.

      Sincerely,
      ***************************

      To continue to engage with this person only means that we are wasting time on someone that clearly is abusing his position on the ***** of ********* and that does not realize that he needs to move on. A new landscaping company was approved by the ***** President this week because the ***** makes the hiring decisions.  The financials were posted and have always been posted and most of his issues are *****.  We wish this community the best of luck and hope that ********************** stops harassing us.

      Complaint: 20176662

      I am rejecting this response because Mastino is still the management company for English Ranch South HOA, so asking them to do their job is not harassment.  The board's issues with Mastino are key services not "***** issues" they are obligated by contract to provide including regular and timely financial reporting, contracting to repair the sign and solar light and contracting for the mowing.

      1. Mastino's claim that "the financials were posted and have always been posted" is false.  The May financials for ERS have not been posted as of July 12 (see attachment).

      2. The sign lettering was finally installed last week, but it is crooked and the solar light has not yet been repaired.

      3. Mowing was started last Monday July 3, but only about 1/3 of the area was mowed and the contractor has not been back since.

      Sincerely,

      ***************************

      This person does not have her facts straight and she has not participated in any of the meetings or been involved.  It took the person that caused the damage over 8 months before the insurance company paid out. We had to fight for the monies as they offered a very low ball offer. 

      Since the community has taken to harassing the contractor, the sign person is not willing to work extra when people have been nothing but disrespectful.  The sign production and delivery are completely out of my hands. There was a misunderstanding that the sign was in production, and he was awaiting payment, but had not billed the *** and so I wasn't aware that he was waiting for the payment before starting a new fabrication of the sign. That is the only delay that I am responsible for. 

      I have done all that I can and we check in weekly with the sign person and ************************ is just waiting for the sign to be delivered. No one wants this project completed more than we do.
