Does any one have a the role of the councle president? Mine thinks she works for me and that causes alot of prolbems at times. She will tell me [Every one is coming to me and complaing about one thing or another] I will get said residents together to talk about it and they always say they never said any such thing. I do beleive some times they do but I'm sure no one goes to her she goes to them and tells them about some think she does not like and gets every one all upset Does any one have any answers ? Thanks Mary
