Office supplies for Community Manager?

[Kate Adamson]

I don't understand why paying for the Community Manager's office supplies is even a line item in the budget. The Community Manager of Locust Hill is technically not an employee of LH unit owner's HOA. She is an independent contractor, and as such, is responsible for paying for her own office supplies. That is a cost that she incurs by having her own business - as any business owner knows. She could be responsible for the workings of any number of other HOA's; does she receive office supply money from them also? And if she does work for other HOA's (as an independent contractor), how will we know if she uses offices supplies paid for by Locust Hill on another HOA? $600.00 may seem a trivial amount of money to quibble about, but, as I see it, she isn't entitled to any money at all from us for office supplies.

Aren't we paying her phone bill too? Wouldn't that be the same as office supplies. What if she is using that phone for other business as well, then why are we paying for it???

I also noticed that we are paying for a 1-866 number. That is what the fax goes to. If you look at the "Code of Ethics" and the proxy you will see it. Does anyone know how much an 866 number is? Especially with Frontier...
