I am unable to attend the WPA July Board Meeting this evening. I have transcribed the verbal harassment, staged unreasonable questioning, and denial of understanding by our President and Legal Chair, silent participation of all other board members in attendance - just let it happen (cowards), as to where board member McBride, was coming from as he read a By-Law, that your board failed to adhere to in calling the June 17th Board Meeting. I have posted the response from your board Community Liaison, basically saying, the meeting wasn't noticed properly, but "The 3rd. Tuesday of each month structure has been in place for many years." So he, who sends all his answers to the full board for approval, is basically telling me that none of them care when they selectively choose to ignore our by-laws.
There is more at stake here. They SELECTIVELY have chosen to ignore our governing documents, in the past. We are truly LAWLESS here.
My communication from the Community Liaison, also informed me that I could come to the office and review the correspondence file, and receive a copy of the communication that was sent to the board. Go back and read previous articles for the by-law under discussion. Today, I went to the office and received the copy. NOTICE WAS SENT ON THE 16TH @ 1:46pm!!!!!!!! McBride was correct!!!!!!! Once again, your board selectively failed to follow the by-laws. NO ONE, NOT OUR PRESIDENT, CERTAINLY NOT OUR LEGAL CHAIR, NOT THE SILENT, COWARDLY BOARD MEMBERS WHO SAT BY, protected our governing documents, OR US, as these two OFFICERS OF THE BOARD, continued to demean the ONLY BOARD MEMBER, who tried to do the right thing.
This issue, along with the last governing document violation - conflict of interest, is too UGLY, for words!!!!!!!!! If we were any place else, the behavior of this board would be called ILLEGAL, UNCONSCIONABLE, and CREEPY!
Will your board try and correct it all this evening? As I reviewed the correspondence file, I saw a letter, obviously written by a board member. I understand removing resident names, but not board members????? More cover-up? The email was sent to be distributed to all board members, on July 14th. The first paragraph again quotes the by-law. The second paragraph, "Because this By-Law was not followed for a meeting the President wanted to call on June 17, 2014, any business thought to be completed at that gathering is null & void. This matter was brought to the attention of the President prior to the meeting. We as Directors and individuals can not pick and choose when to follow WPA By-Laws. It is not a choice and we can not disregard By-Laws for convenience. The business discussed during this gathering needs to be revisited during a properly called meeting so everyone can be prepared."
YOUR BOARD HAS NOT ONLY BROKEN OUR GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, BUT THEY HAVE PARTICIPATED IN ALLOWING OUR PRESIDENT AND LEGAL CHAIR TO PLAY DUMB AND ATTACK ANYONE WHO TRIES TO DO THE RIGHT THING!
I CAN'T WAIT TO REVIEW THE BOARD APPROVED MINUTES OF THE OPEN BOARD MEETING (ILLEGAL) ON JUNE 26TH. OUR MINUTES ARE SANITIZED. WILL YOUR BOARD HAVE THE GUTS TO PUBLISH THE VERY BY-LAW THAT A SITTING BOARD MEMBER READ TO THEM DURING THE MEETING, AND ALL BUT ONE CHOSE TO IGNORE, AND LET THE PRESIDENT AND LEGAL CHAIR GO AFTER, IN WHAT CAN ONLY BE CALLED AN ATROCITY, THE QUESTIONING BOARD MEMBER?
P.S/. When your board won't do the right thing, you are forced to take the facts and the quotes to letters to the editor. I've published articles from local newspapers about HOA boards. Several residents of quality HOA neighborhoods have spoken out. I've got the facts and will provide them if needed.
