“A couple times I brought up things to him about important things and its resulted in a lawsuit and another complaint that should have been addressed earlier and followed through and I was given an answer that wasn’t sufficient,” Giovanneli said.

Giovanneli distributed a three-page letter to other members detailing her concerns, but the rest of the six board members disagree.
