Your board has made rapid changes in the policy manual for about a year. Go back to the agenda and minutes for the last twelve months. There is rarely a month that changes to the policy manual have not been presented. Your board has failed to follow the by-law EVERY TIME! They have never POSTED the changes on the WPA website for resident comments. They were well aware of the by-law, although ignorance is never a defense. They brought their changes to the board table two consecutive months, voting the second month. WHAT DIDN'T THEY WANT YOU TO SEE AND COMMENT ON. I guess it is strike while the iron is hot and don't worry who gets burned.
I'm aware of the resident who wrote the amendment, and others who would have if they hadn't. The proposed by-law change was written after residents were angered over then treasurer McMillin's quick, on the spot changes to the policy manual to lower the standards of the individual who would maintain our financial books. He also lowered the bonding required for the individual he wanted to hire. That individual would have to pay for their own bonding. One of the changes to the policy manual recently presented by treasurer DeMarchi goes back to how and who will maintain our books. He told us at two meetings, never completely read the changes out loud, and never put the changes up on the WPA website. During the May meeting, we find out that he has further reduced the bonding of the person he wishes to hire, and we will pay for his/her bonding! While DeMarchi's latest is important, they are all important because they appear to keep changing things to suit their next favored project.
When I went to review records May 21, day of the board meeting, I was told that legal chair Garrison was checking with the attorney to see if it was filed?????? What does that mean? Is Garrison and your board going to try and use that as a scape hatch for not following the by-law? I hope not. Your board, should have to rescind EVERY policy manual change, back to the date YOU and I approved this by-law change!!!!!! They certainly acted IMMEDIATELY on the votes that YOU and I cast on that same date to put some of them in office!
Garrison reported at the May 21 meeting that the by-law had been filed. He did not speak to why the board didn't follow it, what the ramifications were of filed versus not, or what your board was going to about this injustice. The document HAD NOT BEEN FILED ON MAY 21. The document was filed on May 22, 2013.
I don't believe a word they say. They do what they want, how they want to, ignore our votes, won't answer us and just move on according to their misdirected rule of governing documents, and honesty.
One more example of their word:
THE POSTED BY-LAW IS PRESENTED BELOW:
