This will be short. It has been a long day and the board meeting just made it longer. I can't say it was a waste of time because it is important to see our board at work administering our funds, in the interests of Wedgefield Plantation Association????????????? Maybe not in our best interests but in the interests of the various board member egos. Dependent on who you are, whether you bow to them and their view, you could be treated poorly, ignored, and yes, once again if you are with them, you can do what you would like as an audience "MEMBER", and the gavel won't fall to reign you in. Yes, one of our Chatty Kathy's was back in action. She whispered, laughed, commented, and at one point laid her head down on a vacant chair to cover her laughter. Your president and your board did nothing! Oh, I forgot, she's "WITH THEM".
History repeated itself in more than one instance. First, in regard to drainage contracts, WE DON'T NEED ENGINEERING even though we have one bid for work, and the drainage chair is sick and tired of delays on projects. He did vote on his motion and abstained after because he didn't want any one saying he was making money on the project, even though he lives, built homes on lots he sold, on a road that had poor drainage from the beginning. Your president saved the day after certain members on the board made fun of board member McBride for trying to insist that they get engineering support. Your president said that he had years of experience working around these types of projects and so did the drainage chair. He did go on to say that neither of them were engineers. Your legal chair did not want to bother with it either. The legal chair, our president, and some others on the board mimicked their behavior of a few years ago, when McBride wanted engineering on a road project. Note to board and residents - YOUR BOARD DIDN'T LISTEN THEN BECAUSE THEY KNEW IT ALL, and our first road project this year is on Duck Pond, a repeat fix to the work done when they knew it all before!
The discussion of the 2014 budget got ugly, the resident whisperer seemed to have a great time during that discussion and your board was rude and crude when too many questions were asked by one of the board members. Did anyone ever tell them that it isn't vote with the gang and keep your mouth closed, but use your brain, gather information, and then vote?
That's all for this evening. More to follow over the next week or so. Projects are going on at our home and The Wedgefield Examiner has been asked to help a few residents with pictures, etc., regarding ARC violations. Stay tuned!
