The Wedgefield Examiner will removed your name, and publish it as sent.
I provide the following information from notes of the meeting to the best of my ability. Your board decided somewhere, NOT AT THE BOARD TABLE WITH OPEN DISCUSSION, to remove official tapes of the meetings from the official WPA website, so I am unable to refer you to them for verification. Is this just one more move by this board to cover their tracks?
Board community liaison, Anderson gave the report. It is short and to the point, My notes indicate that the board received 6 letters since the January WPA Board meeting. He briefly lists the topic of each of the 6 letters, and states that all have received an answer from the board. End of report.
COMMENTS:
What is there to comment about that? Looks like the board received letters, and answered them. Did Anderson follow through with what was promised in the letters to residents from the board? I'm personally aware of two of the letters. I wrote one to the board, and received an answer. I have follow up to do on the contents of the response that I received. The second letter was written by a resident who shared his letter to the board, and the board's answer, on the blog. I'll post them here, for purposes of quick review.
RESIDENT LETTER TO THE BOARD
On Friday, January 20, 2017 10:58 AM, (RESIDENT NAME REMOVED)
Please include this letter at your next board meeting
Now that the sale of the golf course has fallen through we face another summer of living in a jungle. I’m asking that you all take some action to mow this mess 3 to 4 times. Nothing elaborate, a bush hog job would do. You don’t have any funding available in your budget to pay for this. You might propose a voluntary donation from lot owners on the golf course similar to the funding provided by canal lot owners for canal dredging. Not sure what the cost would be, but a $50 “donation” should provide $20k+ to get the ball rolling. I’m sure most of the lot owners on the golf course would support this idea. Please try to take a proactive “can do” approach and not think of reasons it can’t be done. It means alot to keeping our community a decent place to live. I’ll be looking forward to hearing from you all.
Comments: The resident requested - "Please include this letter at your next board meeting". Anderson listed the topic of each letter including this one. As with the other letters a discriptive 5 or 6 word topic was provided - no depth. So, let's move to the board response to the resident.

Mr. (RESIDENT NAME REMOVED),
I assure you this will be a topic for discussion at the next board meeting. Thank you for your suggestion.
Adam Anderson
Community Liaison
Comments: First, please note the following comments are directed to the entire board - not just the writer, Anderson. Why? Go back to the board response, and note that Anderson sends his response to the ENTIRE BOARD. The board then fails to do what they promised the resident in writing. At no time during the entire meeting did THE board bring the content of this letter, and the writer's recommendation to the board table, and discuss it! Why doesn't the board answer the resident honestly? Where is open communications on issues that our residents are concerned about? This, along with so many other under the table, decisions by this board, along with sanitized minutes, no published official tapes of meetings, verbal legal opinions, etc. permeate our governance. I don't trust this board to serve us legally - according to our governing documents, openly and honestly, using sound business practice, in the best interests of Wedgefield's members. This is just smoke and mirrors, slight of hand, governance. Yes, the Wedgefield board circus, and the tent, our community is falling in on us.
It should be noted that after the board completed the agenda, and opened the resident comments, that another resident stood up, and asked about voluntary collections to mow the golf course.
Residents, you have to start attending meetings, and follow this board, and their antics. Recently, a resident wrote me and asked if we should be collecting voluntary funds to legally remove this entire board. That's how bad things are. Residents who have such thoughts don't want their names attached because they are concerned about how the board will come after them. Wedgefield is in a sorry physical state, and governance state, and your board is to blame.
