RESIDENT SHARES EMAIL TO THE BOARD WITH THE SUBJECT "INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR OF A BOARD MEMBER"

WHY DOES THE BOARD ALLOW MCMILLIN TO CONTINUE TO MAKE THESE RIDICULOUS MOVES - ILLEGAL - THIS TIME THREATENING; TO FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS - (MAKING THEM COMPLICIT IN HIS ACTIONS), TO MEMBERS, AND OUR GOVERNANCE?

Readers, follow this resident's visit to the office to review records, and McMillin's anger,  and lying answers about the form.  I don't have a lot of time today, but I'll answer this question soon.  I'm staying quiet about a few facts that make McMillin's claims regarding the form, a bold face lie - not his first during his time on the board.  He loses all reasonable deduction in thought, before he tells these whoppers.  Stay tuned because my records review is scheduled for tomorrow.  

I hope the resident who is suing the board, is following these documented articles!

NOTE:  The comments, and the picture in this article are those of The Wedgefield Examiner, while I stand by them, the resident writer has not been asked for approval of my comments.  I thank the resident writer for their persistence, and sharing.

Michelle,

Would you please distribute this email to ALL board members and place a copy in the correspondence file?   And as always, would you please confirm that you received this email and passed it on as requested?   Thank you again for your assistance. 

Board Members;

This morning at 10:00 a.m. I went to the HOA office to review the spoil site records as requested and approved.

Michelle,

I have not heard back from Bob Garrison regarding a meeting date.  I was hoping to meet with him and then review the spoil site records.   Since Adam Anderson, (see below) stated that I can come by the office at my convenience and review the spoil site records, I plan to stop by on Monday, April 30th to do so.   Would it be possible for you to have the records ready upon my arrival?  If not, I will wait patiently.   I'm planning on being there around 10 a.m.  

Would you please send Bob a copy of this email?

Thank you.   I appreciate your assistance.     Connie Downs, 492 Francis Parker Road

I entered the HOA office at approximately 10:00 a.m.   I was informed by Michelle Blythe that she would have to contact Larry McMillan of my arrival.  He was on the grounds planting flowers.   Larry arrived and used the restroom to wash his hands.   He retrieved the file I requested to review and ordered me to sit on the far side of the table while he sat in a chair across from me.   Mr. McMillan spoke to me in an angry tone of voice, it was obvious he was either looking for a verbal altercation or to bully me into submission.   His body language was combative as he leaned forward.  The first thing he did was toss two pieces of paper across the table at me.  One was a blank sheet of Wedgefield letter head and the other was a copy of a "Request to Review Documents" form that he claimed he didn't make up and has been procedure of "the past 7 years."   Mr. McMillan assumes I accused him of making up this form and I don't believe he can produce documentation proving his allegation.  

Here is the only correspondence I sent the board on this matter:

Hi Michelle,

Please forward a copy of my response to Adam Anderson to all the board members.   I realized he responded to my message via his personal address and didn't catch it until I sent my message.  I'm resending my response to him via the board address to expedite an appropriate response.  Thank you.

Adam, 
Where is the form in the policy book? I will print it off my computer. What section?  Date of implementation? 
I also plan on requesting review of the correspondence file so I can see how other residents have filled out these forms.

I asked Larry if the letterhead and request form were my copies and his response was "Madeline has copies."    I'm not sure what he was referencing in this statement.   Larry took out a computer printout documenting dates of spoil site maintenance and the Maintenance Contract Amendment. In a defensive and blatantly rude manner, he informed me of what was contained in the written materials.  I asked him if they were my copies and he referenced they were his property, something he generated.  Larry then proceeded to go on and I interrupted to asked him if he planned to sit and watch me review the file.   His response was, "I'm here to answer your questions."   I informed Larry that I didn't request to have him answer my questions; I asked to review the spoil site file.   Larry was angry at my statement and responded in a combative tone of voice, "Before you leave, I want to talk to you about your email."   I informed Larry that I would not speak to him without either Bob Garrison or Jacky Walton being present."  His response was defiant, "You want a public forum, I'll give you a public forum."   Larry made it very clear to me that he would take up this topic of conversation during the May 2018 board, meeting, (using 5 minutes to speak)and it was very clear he planned to chastise me.   As Larry stormed out of the office, he ordered the Secretary Michelle Blythe to  "call me before she leaves."   

At this point, I am requesting copies of the spoil site file for further examination in the privacy of my home as I was concerned about a possible verbal altercation in the office.    Peggy Phillips came in the office at 10:45 a.m. making me feel monitored and uncomfortable.   As publicly known, she is a close confidant of Larry McMillan.  I exited the office before Larry could return and an incident ensued as a result of his anger with me.     

I would like to pick up the copies of the spoil site record 5 business days from now on May 7, 2018.    I would appreciate it if Michelle would contact me to confirm they are ready for pickup.  It would be ideal if she could deliver them to my car to avoid further exacerbation of the issue. 

I also want a copy of this message to the board placed in the correspondence file as record of verbal abuse and bullying by board member Larry McMillan toward a resident in good standing.     Thank you for your time.

SECOND RESIDENT WRITER TO THE BOARD RECEIVES "PERMISSION" TO REVIEW REQUESTED RECORDS, FROM THE MCMILLIN ANDERSON, "MAKE YOUR OWN POLICY TEAM". WILL THE BOARD MAKE THESE FAKE POLICY MOVES A DISCUSSION FROM THE BOARD TABLE DURING THE MAY BOARD MEETING?

Subject: spoil site records

Mrs, Downs

Larry McMillin has informed me the records you requested to view are in the office and you may come by at your convenience during regular business hours.

Adam Anderson
****************************************************
Note that as a board member and community liaison working in unison with the board????, that Anderson sends this message to the resident from his own email, and does not share it with the entire board.  Additionally, once again whose direction does he follow?  According to the email he states that he is following McMillin's direction.  Are they again ignoring the total board, and going down their own path?  Who knows, but it looks more like two board members gone astray!

The demands made earlier insisting that residents have to sign McMillin's manufactured form, have never been a part of policy. This demand step, cannot be found anywhere.  Not in the policy manual!  Not in SC State non profit law!  Not in practice, and applied to others!  Ask to go back and review the correspondence file from 2008 when McMillin came to his board seat through current date.  This form appears no where!  During 2008 through approximately 2012, many residents were asking to review all kinds of files, and this form doesn't appear anywhere!  It is manufactured by McMillin, and obviously supported in use by Anderson.

At this point our entire board has seen the emails to myself, and the other resident writer.  The board has a responsibility to bring this out into the open, and address it at a meeting, and tell us exactly what they are going to do about it, and how they are going to make sure that this does not happen again.  The board has to reach the point that they discipline board members who fail to do the right thing.  Yet, over and over again, no matter what McMillin does, the other board members by action, condone, and further McMillin's illegal, harassing behavior, when they elect and place him in officer and committee chair positions. The board is complicit in these actions and are setting themselves up for more lawsuits coming to the board table.

April 22, 2018

TO:                WPA BOARD

FROM:          Madeline Y. Claveloux

RE:                 REQUEST TO REVIEW THE CORRESPONDENCE FILE
                        FROM SEPTEMBER 1, 2017 THROUGH MAY 1, 2018

CC:                 The Wedgefield Examiner

As a member in good standing, I am requesting to review the Correspondence File from September 1, 2017, through May 1, 2018. I would like to come to the WPA Office on Tuesday, May 1st., at 11:00am to review the files.  I am making the request under the terms of SC Non Profit Law, and the approved procedures noted in our governing documents.

Statement of Proper Purpose, as noted as a requirement in the above noted documents: In general, I am very concerned about the method of members securing a response from the board.  I have followed the three-month effort of a resident attempting to secure approval to review the spoil site records, and was astounded to see a response from our Board Secretary, adding additional unapproved requirements, prior to access to the records.  What was even more alarming was that the Board Secretary chastised the resident stating they were ignorant of policy – a policy that never existed, and therefore never was brought to the board table, motioned, discussed, published on the website for resident comment, or voted on at a second board meeting, and approved. 

I look forward to your response, and approval of my request.

HERE IS MY RESPONSE 
PLEASE PLACE A COPY IN THE CORRESPONDENCE FILE AND DISTRIBUTE TO THE BOARD
Board,
On April 22, 2018, I sent a request to review the Correspondence file.  My request was made in compliance, and according to the requirements of SC non profit law.  I have been denied approval of my request, and confirmation of the date of review - May 1, 2018, 11:00am, and noticed that I must come to the office, and fill out a Request to Review Documents form, that has never existed until now.  My letter meets all the requirements of SC non profit law.  I have filled out the form under the protest of discrimination against me as an individual member in good standing, who has met the legal requirements of SC non profit law, and exercised my rights under the by-laws.  Discrimination, as the WPA has no written policy that requires this "made up in the moment document requirement" by board secretary McMillin.  I resent the right hand of illegal involvement of the board's community liaison Anderson, who instead of enforcing what is legal and ethical, adds himself to McMillin's illegal folly.  My April 22nd letter was sent to the entire board.  Anderson's response was sent to the entire board.  Is the entire board now willing to be complicit in this harassment, and violation of SC non profit law, and our bylaws?  Where is legal and compliance in review of McMillin and Anderson's ridiculous attempts to develop "policy in the moment" because of their dislike of one or two residents?  I have never encountered such a demand in over 13 years of making requests to review documents, and having my requests granted.  No place in the current reorganized by McMillin Policy Manual does this document, or policy exist!

I expect to come to the office on May 1, at 11:00am and review the documents.  Additionally, I would appreciate a response to my questions posed above, with real legitimate answers from some responsible - not tinged by the ridiculousness of McMillin, and Anderson, officer of the board.  There should be no "playing with policy and law", when a member in good standing makes a legitimate, legal request regardless of whether they are in the board's favor, or not.

I am now making a request to speak utilizing one of the two five minute speaker opportunities allowed in our governing documents, at the May WPA board meeting.  The subject will be "Member Request To Review Records Delayed By Manufactured Policy, and Ultimately Harassment By The Board."

Thank you for your time.  The two attachments are presented under protest.

HERE IS THE FAKE FORM FILLED OUT AND ATTACHED TO MY EMAIL:
READERS, HERE IS THE STATE LAW, AS SENT TO ME BY THEN BOARD MEMBER DEMARCHI:

Michelle,

I'm sorry to bother you again.   Would you please forward this email to all board members and place a copy in the correspondence file? Thank you.  I appreciate it.

Adam,

I'm so sorry you feel the need to act in such an immature manner.  And I'm more sorry your fellow board members sit by and let this inappropriate behavior continue without speaking out for resident rights.   This is abuse and bullying at its best and all are guilty by association.   It's behavior like this that deters residents from attending board meetings.   It's responses like yours that leave residents to be suspect of board business.   And it's poor communication and harassment toward community members that materializes into lawsuits.     You may want to rethink your tactics as the Community Chair of the Board.  

Have a good day.

Readers, a few days ago I published an email that this resident writer had sent to the board requesting document review.  In the email, she noted the records she would like to review, and stated proper purpose for the review.  She had met all the requirements of our bylaws, and SC non profit law regarding review of records.  Board secretary McMillin, after no answer from the board for three months, sent her an email informing her she was ignorant of policy, and the requirement to come to the office to fill out a form and then, and only then, would he address her in writing.  This form NEVER EXISTED UNTIL THAT TIME, and even if you believe it did, it only addresses file review.  The undaunted resident then writes the board via email, and asks that some questions be answered, and again, like never before, she is instructed that she must come to the office and fill out the form for file review!  We'll start at the beginning of this request with her email.  Here is her email:

Thank You.
Board Members;
I read the following message on the HOA website and have several questions.  I would appreciate it if someone responded to ALL these questions thoroughly and in a timely manner.     My questions are in BOLD.  Thank you.  I appreciate your cooperation.   
Canal dredging update
We had a meeting with canal lot owners on March 6th to bring everyone up to date on the canal dredging project. 
We are asking for voluntary contributions of $4000 per canal lot to go with the reserve funding the WPA has set aside for dredging per our agreement.  
  • Please tell me where I can find this agreement in writing.  I would like to read and review the conditions. 
  • I want to know the date of this agreement. 
  • Who was present during this meeting? 
  • Who developed and wrote this plan?
  • Who was in agreement of the plan? 
  • Who opposed? 
  • Who signed this plan? 
  • and when and how the residents of Wedgefield were informed of this agreement.   I have been to nearly all board meetings and keep detailed notes.  I don't recall this specific agreement being discussed or coming up for a vote.  I read the minutes on the HOA website and there is nothing documented regarding this agreement.  Perhaps I'm overlooking the obvious?  
The meeting was well received and the fundraising has been going well. As of this writing we have raised $117,300 towards our goal of $200,000.  Last Tuesday, John Walton announced that he collected $126,300 toward the dredging project.   
  • Which number is accurate?  
  • And who set the goal of $200,000?
Other questions:   The last dredge cost well over a million dollars.  
  • How much money did the HOA promise to contribute toward the 2018 dredging project?  
  • Who came up with this number?
  • What other reserves will be exhausted to pay for the dredge?  As of February 28, 2018, the canal reserve had a balance of $146,518.25. 
If canal lot owners have a goal of $200,000 and are contributing $4,000 each, (a number I believe is $1,000 lower than the last dredging contribution of $5,000 per lot owner), that means there are 50 canal lot owners.   I recall a number of 81 canal lot owners.   Where can I find the correct number of canal lot owners?   
I am NOT opposed to the HOA contributing to the dredging project as long as it's reasonable and ALL residents, (both canal lot owners and non-canal lot owners) are well aware of this "agreement" and have had a chance to voice any concerns and ask relevant questions.      Thank you again for your cooperation.  
The existing permit expires late this year so we need to get everyone's contribution in as soon as possible. If we can reach our goal by mid May we will be able to get this project done this winter! So please get your contributions in if you haven't already. You can drop them by the office, give it to any committee member or mail it to...

We have reached the height of disfunction in our governance.  The punitive, secret, against all policy - SC non profit law, our bylaws have been violated, and real communication shut down by a few on the board who must have something they are afraid to have revealed in records regarding the current dredging effort, and the illegal path toward dredging including the spoil site.  This action by McMillin and Anderson - both canal committee members, should be an indication of how far some will go, while shutting out the eyes of residents.  If you don't care about the dredging and spoil site, you should care about open, above board, governance.  

Think about it.  During the April board meeting I'm told that vice president/legal chair Garrison reported that members were not to call or email board members through the board members' private phone, or email addresses.  Good move, except that message has been repeated over and over by this board, and yet they continue individually to serve favored members who contact them privately.  I'd dare to say that we have a resident lawsuit against this board for their unpredictable, favored treatment of certain residents, and hidden abuse of those residents that they would like to shut up, and for sure not ask questions, and seek answers through review of records.  Let's see whether the balance of the board reads the emails, takes notice of McMillin's homemade document requirements/demands, and questions Anderson's willful following down this illegal path.  Don't hold your breath.  By the way, if you do write the board with questions, see if you receive notice that you can't just send an email anymore, you have to go to the office and fill out McMillin's homemade form.  Own property, but don't live here, or only live here part time?  Well, get in your car, or hop a plane, and come fill out McMillin's form, or community liaison Anderson won't answer you.  Better yet, you should be storming the board email with the resident writer's questions!  "Where is the form in the policy book? I will print it off my computer. What section?  Date of implementation? "

NOW, AND FOR A LONG TIME, YOUR BOARD HAS BEEN HIDING, AND WE CAN'T BE HEARD.
