Yeah, some people seem to think they’re untouchable when they commit a crime and the president pardons them. Seems to create a likelihood of recidivism when you tell those folks they shouldn’t have any guilt over breaking the law and harming other people.

Stealing money from a fund for deceased police officers? And she is proud?

Recall that when Trump pardoned Fiore, her immediate public reaction was to quote and apply Isaiah 54:17 to herself – no weapon formed against me shall prosper!

Michele should put more energy applying Lev. 19:11 to herself “You shall not steal; you shall not deal falsely; you shall not lie to one another.”

Her pledge to voters: “This is the common-sense justice small-town folks expect and deserve: protect the innocent, punish the guilty, and put public safety first.”
And steal money from deceased police officers to fund your plastic surgery and your daughter’s wedding. Just unbelievablle.

The NRED ADR Program is a complete waste of time and money. Rather than steering those cases away from Court, steer those cases into the court-annexed arbitration

NRED cases into Court Annexed ADR. Don’t think so. The NRED ADR program is highly specialized and involves infractions, assessments, compliance and violations of HOA rules and HOA regulation. This is not the kind of disputes that should be sent to Court Annexed ADR. The NRED ADR is a requirement before a homeowner can sue or their HOA. It is a specific statutory requirement. The HOA Ombudsman administers the program.

Precisely and the requirement to go through the program is a waste of time and money as constituted. Other than Janet Trost, it is a bunch of people who are completely ineffective and who waste everyone’ time. It is not steering cases away from court; its running up costs before cases get to court. Right now NRED Mediation from filing to completion of ADR is about 6-8 months of dawdling. Ombudsman is a mess. That was why having Erin Truman testify made some sense which is get it into a mediation program that is part of the court process. Only person(s) the present system is benefiting is John Leach.

I looked at the application process to become a NRED mediator. Seemed like a complete nightmare & very little money. I would favor putting it under the umbrella of court-annexed ADR, but that would require a pretty extensive legislative overhaul.

NRED Mediation process can not go to the ADR Commissioner because the relief is more equitable in nature in many cases and not damages at law. The mediation process convinces parties that is not just worth to continue fighting the dispute. It is more like the Foreclosure Mediation program than ADR in the Eighth Judicial District. The purpose is to provide a mechanism to resolve disputes before the parties actually file a suit which actually does not occur that frequently because of the expense and the nature of the dispute. The NRED Mediation is to convince parties and the dispute should be resolved and not litigated.

That is the stated purpose. It is terrible and completely ineffective.

It shouldn’t cost that much in taxpayer money for the Ombudsman’s Office, when they just constantly defer to Leach’s interpretations, no matter how clearly wrong they are.

NRED mediations are required to be completed within 90 days of assignment. If yours is dragging on, call the Ombudsman office.

The purpose of the NRED program is to attempt to avoid litigation. Most of the homeowners seeking help from what they perceive to be an obnoxious HOA Board, cannot afford CAA. Few mediations actually graduate to a filed complaint. Even if the mediation fails the parties feel like they have been heard.
In many cases, both parties can receive a subsidy. The mediator billable time averages 5 hours from start to finish. Again, if you case is dragging, call the Ombudsman office.

I am not certain what your experience is. 80% of the matters that we encounter fail/have failed in NRED Mediation. I share the experience of the comment above that there is one mediator currently on the panel who is effective. NRED Mediation is only unnecessarily adding time and expense.

So you would advocate for CAA for a retired 65 yo when her HOA demands she repaint her front door and the total of accrued fines is half of her social security check?
Mediation, even when there is no agreement, helps with an understanding and homeowners feel that they have been heard.

NRED also offers alternative tracks for a referee hearing and also arbitration, either of which can result in an enforceable decision.
