My PTRA VP Resignation Notification 3 16 2012

As of this date and this time I do so resign my position as Vice President of the Paquin Tower Resident association due to the following reasons.

Since before I was elected by unanimous vote into said office then acting Vice President Jeff Shirley asked me to help with the PTRA Office due to the lack of any real responsibility of then acting President Daniel Jones. To this I agreed and became a contracted volunteer helping to train other PTRA Officers including then VP Shirley who did not know or were unsure on just how to do their respective jobs.

Then I ran for the office of Vice President due to then active VP Jeff Shirley claimed he needed me in that slot and not in the SGT at Arms slot I was going to run for. So I accepted that offer and ran and was successfully elected into the VP position.

Upon my successful election President Shirley and I talked a lot about what needs to be done daily in the office since President Shirley was taking college courses and doing things with Burrel Behavioral Health and more. Him and I agreed and we informed all of the Officers of the PTRA that I would be the Office Administrator and work in the office daily.

President Shirley and I also agreed to split up the office hours where I would work the 11am to 1pm shift and President Shirley would work the 5 pm to 6pm shift. This arrangement did not last long as many times that I came to the PTRA Office in the evening President Shirley was NOT THERE and the office was NOT OPEN as him and I agreed upon so I took over the evening shift too.

President Shirley also had given me all powers to do ALL of the daily PTRA Office Business and to go into any and/or all business negotiations with his final approval between the City of Columbia and/or other outside agencies.

Today a source that will remain anonymous expressed to me that a petition of recall was being circulated for my recall by Debbie Miner due to I was over stepping my duties that President Shirley had freely and openly given to me and all of the other present and past PTRA Officers openly knew and acknowledged. President Shirley himself signed that petition of recall himself instead of talking to me first thus the reason for this resignation.

President Shirley has NOT been doing his sworn duties,he has NOT been training any other officers,he has NOT been doing the duties according to the 2008 Bylaws and many times I will here by swear to has been Intoxicated while doing duties in his elected office as President of the PTRA. Too many times I tried to talk to President Shirley about his Alcoholism to no avail. Too many times I have backed him up when complaints of his intoxication have come to me. No more.

Never again. This was the last and final time. Paquin Tower has seen the last of my helps as far as even wanting to help this Resident Association in any way shape or form. I will not go out of my way daily to help others and allow myself to be openly stabbed in the back by those who thank me for helping them and then turn right around and stab me in the back.

I highly recommend at this time that stronger supervision of the entire PTRA Officer Board be implemented ASAP. That they be held accountable for each and every action and that the CHA if need be remove and or replace President Shirley due to his constant intoxication.
