To a casual visitor to the UCO office, it seemed like Ron Massa was at the front desk quite often. I’m sure his shoes will be very difficult to fill.
I would say, in addition to the duties Ron carried out for UCO internally, he was extremely valuable to unit owners and association board members who needed documents notarized.
Has UCO given any consideration to again have a notary available for community members to utilize?
If UCO was willing to pay the notary fees for a few UCO volunteers to become a notary it would be an excellent use of UCO funds.
I can’t think of any service or amenity available in Century Village, that would show a greater return on money spent, than to again provide notary services to the community.
Comparing the return on money spent to subsidize, for instance, the excursions buses. (not picking on them, but I need a quick example, there are several.) You name the amenity or service, none could match the return on investment than compared to the gain in effectiveness. Money spent does not result in fumes out a tailpipe, for instance, but greatly assists board members to improve their efficiency. It can do nothing but positively impact the community.
Two association board members who do not drive, have to cross Okeechobee on foot to have a COA for Occupancy notarized. Obviously, this is unsafe, takes planning and is not a cost-effective way of utilizing association’s resources. The UCO building was built on the north side of Okeechobee for a reason. Let’s continue to utilize its convenient location and have convenient notary service available for community members. The return is unmeasurable.
In closing, thank you to all the volunteers that keep UCO functioning so well.
Hi Mike,
ReplyDeleteYes, VP Fausto Fabbro is in the process of being certified as a Notary.
Dave Israel
In the March UCO elections, Mr. Fabbro ran against Mr. Israel for the office of President. At a committee meeting afterwards, I saw them shake hand. Now Fausto is helping David with supplying an essential amenity for CV residents. Encouraging and uplifting to see mutual respect and cooperation between one-time CV political candidates.

As a unit owner, I totally agree with Mike that excursion buses should not be run for the same 50 riders at great expense to every unit owner in the community. Excursion buses were not in Judge Poulton's order for transportation as a common expense back in 1983. A notary, or multiple notaries, in the UCO office is far more important, especially when we urge building associations to investigate prospective owners, renters and occupants. It cannot be compared with the expense of running buses for trips which are not a valid common expense. If you were unaware of this expense, you should speak up now.
