MY LETTER TO THE BOARD SPEAKS TO THE SITUATION:
DATE:                       June 6, 2018
TO:                             WPA BOARD
FROM:                      Madeline Y. Claveloux

RE:                             DEPLORABLE CONDITION OF UNBUILT LOTS UNDER
                                    CONTRACT TO BE MOWED BY THE GROUNDS
                                    CONTRACTOR, UNDER THE DIRECTION AND
                                    SUPERVISION OF BOARD MEMBER MCMILLIN

CC:                             The Wedgefield Examiner

The lot directly adjacent to our home at 168 William Screven has not been mowed since early last fall.  Weeds are knee high, and some trees that have popped up due to the lack of maintenance, are about 3 feet high.  The weeds are seeding themselves in the flower bed that runs along the lot line.  We have paid our landscaper additional funds to spray the weeds in our bed and along the lot line.  We’ve invested over $1,500 in pine straw and for the labor to put it down.  We are responsible lot owners!    We are right back to weeds!

The owner of the lot has, and continues to be a good neighbor.  Last year, when he visited the lot to list it for sale, he came and apologized for the poor conditions, saying he had trusted his contract with the WPA.  He then secured a private contractor to come and remedy the situation.  Why does the Board allow McMillin to continue in his role with this poor management? 

Board Member McMillin is negligent in maintaining properties that owners contracted to mow, and keep their properties within ARC requirements of property maintenance.  The entire board is disregarding their duties required in our governing documents, in allowing him to continue year after year to manage these subcontracts with the WPA, and allowing these conditions to exist.

As homeowners, we have endured the embarrassment of these conditions through the recent holiday weekend, and with family coming in to visit my seriously ill husband.  Please see that this is remedied immediately.
