Niambi Lincoln “inherited” the General Manager position from her mother, Katherine Loudd, in early 2018. However, Ms. Loudd not only continued to receive a salary but received a raise!
If you look at the latest newsletter, you will see that Niambi Lincoln is not only the paid General Manager AND a Board Member AND the Treasurer (The General manager should NOT be the Treasurer – a clear lack of segregation of duties.), but her family members also are paid staff at the water company, including her husband Bryan Lincoln and her brother Jabari Loudd. In the past, she has had other family members working at the company too.
Note that over the last few decades, NO ONE ELSE appears to have had the position of Treasurer other than the General Manager: Katherine Loudd or her daughter Niambi Lincoln. This is a huge lack of accountability, particularly since the Company’s leadership has refused to have an external audit during all this time, and Shareholders have repeatedly been denied their right, per the bylaws, to inspect records.
There is no way that a board that consists of family members and a staff of those same family members can provide accountability to the share holders.
