Legal costs may
reach $40,000 in
case challenging
condo kitty ban
The Associated Press
HALLANDALE, Fla. — Legal
costs have already reached
$19,000 in a contest between
a retiree and the board of her
co-op association, and they
could more than double.
A fight over title, or services?
Nope.
Just a 1 0-pound cat named
Sam that originally cost Phyllis
Hammond $100.
On Jan. 12, 1993, the co
op board that runs Taromina, a
92-unit oceanfront building,
rescinded its ban on pets.
Hammond went out and
bought the cat, a silver-ticked
Oriental shorthair.
Then, less than three weeks
after its first vote, the board
reinstated the ban and told
Hammond to get Sam out of
her one-bedroom apartment.
She refused. An arbitrator
ruled in Hammond’s favor and
the board appealed to Broward
Circuit Court. Owners voted
27-7 in favor of pursing the
case, said association president
Michael Moss.
Hammond, who lives on a
E ension and Social Security,
as spent $8,063 to keep Sam,
the co-op board has spent
$11,000, and lawyers say a tri
al could boost the costs to
more than $40,000.
Hammond said the cat isn’t
Worth it.
“Another $8,000 for a trial
would be $16,000. That’s
$16,000 for a cat,” she said.
“No cat is worth $16,000 un
less you have the money. I
don’t.”
But fight she must.
At one point, when she had
to borrow money to pay her
lawyer, she offered to get rid
of Sam, sell her apartment and
end the dispute if each side
would pay its own attorney’s
fees.
The board insisted she pay
its fees. She didn’t have the
money and was forced to con
tinue, she said.
The issue isn’t the cat but
the principle, said lawyer Mark
B. Schorr, who represented the
board at arbitration.
“Boards of directors in con
dos and cooperatives have to
enforce the rules that govern
their buildings. If they don’t,
you have anarchy,” he said.

The first cut class will be Aug.
30, and the first cut will be Sept.
3, the second week of school.
A proposal has been made to
provide cut class at Fish Camp,
but final plans have not been
worked out.
Dave Salmon, adviser to the
Class of ’95, said Elephant Walk
will not be moved along with
bonfire but will take place the
week of A&M’s last home football
beginning-of-the-year enthusi
asm.
“When everybody gets in the
dorm, they get their letterheads,
and they’re excited about it,” he
said. “We won’t have problems
getting people out there.’
Centerpole will be raised Oct.
6, and push will start Oct. 1 9.
Barr said more people will be
able to work on push early be
cause it is not so close to final ex-
ie funds.

probably be successful because
the freshmen will still have the

committee for bonfire will also
meet with the University Police
Department and officials from
the city of College Station early
in the fall.
“In the meantime, we’re get
ting the word out,” he said.
Barr said this is the first bonfire
since the 1970s that will be built
early.
“We’re looking forward to it,”
Barr said.
“It will be a learning experi
ence. Everybody’s wondering
whether we can get it done, but
I’m not worried. We’re the ones
who know. It’s not going to be a
problem getting it built.”
