Or is it like I said – that you have something to hide? Funny how you didn’t address that! Methinks you protest too much!

No need to even respond – your constant deflections say it all clearly enough.

I am an a member of Beachside and they do a great job and as a member if a want any information there is no problem getting if by me just making a phone call …so the bottom line is Ira wants any information he should just become a member END OF STORY.

You said it yourself – you gave an accounting at the meeting. Just put it writing, and no one has anything to bitch about! But instead, you go on a verbal tirade looking to discredit someone, when all that’s been requested in what every person with an interest in a not-for-profit corporation has a right to know!

What’s with all the side-stepping? Putting it in writing is no big deal – unless you have something to hide?

Safety and security of the area should not be a political issue – it should be an underlying issue all residents of Manhattan Beach should be in favor of, excluding Ira Zalcman obviously.

At a time when residents are most concerned for their safety after the recent holdup, the imbecile has chosen to attack neighborhood security rather than bolster it. His actions disgust the residents of Manhattan Beach and by attempting to undermine the security of the area he proves himself to be an enemy of the neighborhood. He is treasonous. He has rejected offers to discuss his concerns with Beachside and instead opted to send out cockeyed e-mails to members of his group.

Further note that to my knowledge, there is no current liason between the MBCG and Beachside and the two organizations are in no way affiliated.

The actual undisputable facts are as follows:

1) Ira has never paid for Beachside membership no matter
what the price.

2) The MBCG has never paid even one penny for Beachside
insurance – this was verified at their own Board meetings.

3) All contributions from the MBCG to Beachside occurred
before Ira became president – he can take no credit for
that.

4) Ira refused to even allow the MBCG’s Board to vote on
the $3000 supplement this year for enhanced summer security
coverage as has been done in years past, despite advance
notice.

5) Beachside gave the full report of the financing in front of Ira,
the MBCG Board, and all those who voted for him at the
MBCG’s annual meeting (Dec. 2007).

6) Any decrease in membership is a result of Ira’s and the
MBCG Board’s lack of regard for Beachside and their
“boycott” .

7) Residents experiencing financial hardship who can not
afford the full membership may be accepted at a discount in
response to complaints by the MBCG regarding affordability.

8) Ira removed Beachside from all agenda’s of the MBCG and
did not grant time for any Beachside discussions at any
meetings.

9) Beachside does indeed offer membership to all residents
of Manhattan Beach (regardless of their status as homeowner
or tenant and regardless of affilliation – Ira himself was
offered membership, but he refused). Beachside has always
accepted membership from anyone at any time. Nobody has
ever been refused membership in the history of Beachside.

10) Beachside belongs to the members. Ira is
not and has not been a member and as such has no say
whatsoever in the operation of Beachside. Should the
membership prefer half the coverage at half the price, I
would comply. However, to the contrary, members have often
asked to increase coverage even if it requires higher
dues.
