I can confirm the sloppy accounting and lack of control over Deposits. In 2008 I canceled the dock lease I had obtained more than 20 years before and asked for the return of my deposit. I was told there was no record of my having made any deposit and that I should provide a copy of the canceled check!
Who keeps canceled checks for 20+ years?Luckily I had a signed lease acknowledging my deposit, so I got my money back. How many people not so lucky will get done out of their deposit?
Remember the $50 “deposit” for gate openers that most of us lost?I would be surprised if detailed support could be provided for either the rental or the dock deposits. If any detail does exist, it would only be due to the efforts of Joanne Lowenthal, our manager, working against stiff opposition from some BOD members.

Makes you wonder if the records of dock deposits disappeared when Sam stole the trunk-load of files from the office when Donna Turner was the manager. We all heard she had threatened him with financial improprieties and we figured that's why he removed the files to cover his butt. He would have taken anything that smacked of finances - just to be safe. Two residents saw him take the files into his unit, but who knows where they went after that. Probably to the dump.
I was lucky because I saved my original dock lease (for 16 years!) and I got my deposit back too. Nobody saves checks and the banks don't even return them anymore.
I sure do sympathize with Joanne and Sheila having to deal with these bloated-ego board members. Hope we can elect a DECENT board in February and get these crumbums out!
