THE WPA REORGANIZATION MEETING - THE PUBLIC MEETING, THAT WASN'T

The WPA Board Reorganization Meeting was scheduled for December 5th, at 7:00 PM at the WPA office. Notice of the meeting was posted on the WPA website and on a sign near the front gate.  About 20-25 residents arrived to view their 2012 Board at work.  All nine Board Members attended.

Garrison began to speak promptly at 7:00 PM.  He stated there was some confusion as to why there were visitors, when historically the reorganization meetings were closed.  He didn't recall anyone determining it would be an open meeting.  He said he didn't care, unless the Board opposed, and asked whether there should be a vote. When someone asked why it was posted, he said the Board had agreed to announce the meetings, but that did not determine resident attendance.

Jason Barrier wanted a vote. 

McBride spoke and referred to an opinion from Attorney Moran and said there was nothing to hide and that they should proceed with the residents there.

Barrier told McBride that there was no need to refer to a Moran opinion.  He tells McBride that he (Barrier) sent an email that was very clear and there was no need to revisit Moran's opinion.  At one point Barrier tells McBride he wasn't even on the Board when this came up (Wait and read, because Barrier is wrong.)!

Barrier makes the motion to close the meeting.  It is seconded by Walton.  McMillin wants to know if they are setting a precedent. Garrison says there is a 20 year history of the reorganization meetings being closed.  At one point Huggins suggests the Board adjourn to the inner office!

Enter resident Jude Davis who wants to know if they aren't going to follow the Attorney of Record, Moran's advice, have they taken the issue to Moody?  No they haven't.  She says the equivalent of "so you're not going to follow the Attorney of Record's advice"?  No real answer was provided.

Now they have to decide whether they will vote by show of hand or by ballot.  Barrier wants ballots.  The vote by ballot is 5-4 to close the meeting.  Garrison wants to know if anyone wants to inspect the ballots.

COMMENTS AND REAL DOCUMENTATION

Residents this was the biggest cat and mouse game I've witnessed in a long time!  The sad part was it was same old, same old, at our expense. Garrison was head cat, and it appeared that at least part of the Board had staged this.  I looked for their scripts, but obviously they had memorized their lines. Barrier and Garrison could have sung a duet.  Huggins was ready to move the meeting away from the residents, to the inner office.  Walton contributed by saying something about one of the closed meetings being one of the best they ever had.

Barrier was wrong!  McBride was on the Board when Moran wrote an opinion regarding these special Board meetings. 

If you were following the Board's scheduling of their special non member meetings, in the spring of 2011, you'll remember that then Attorney of Record, Bob Moran advised the Board that these meetings were to be open to the residents. It was during April and May when the Concerned Citizen element of the Board (Wilson, Thomas, Huggins, Walters, and Barrier) wanted to remove Walton as President.  Later they acknowledged that because the President had the power to name committee chairs, and Walton had named McBride Legal Chair, that they had to remove Walton.  Barrier asked Walton in a Board Meeting if he would reconsider his Legal Chair appointment.  He refused and they removed him to make Huggins Legal Chair.   The following quote is taken from a letter from Attorney Moran to John McBride, Legal Chairman and Jackie Walton, President, dated April 11, 2011:

"It is my understanding that a meeting is being held pursuant to a request from one or more of your Board Members for the purpose of reorganization of the Board.  Initially I reiterate my advice to the Board to refrain from conducting business in executive session.  There are very few purposes of conducting meetings which are not open to the Membership. Members may be prevented from participating in the meeting, but they should be given the opportunity to attend.  This includes the organizational meeting conducted at the conclusion of the Annual meeting and, by implication, any subsequent re-organizational meeting.    To the extent any business is ever conducted in executive session the results of the meeting needs to be re-affirmed in open session."

Once again McBride stood up for our residents, had the facts, and no one helped him carry the message.  I'm not talking about the new Board Members Cline and DeMarchi.  This was their first experience at this Board table.  McMillin remained silent, as Barrier went after McBride.  That wasn't always the case, but it has been for the last several months.  Walton was a  complete disappointment.  You've read the quote from the letter above.  The entire letter is available for your review at the end of this article.  

The letter is addressed to Walton.   He used this information when the Concerned Citizen element of the Board was trying to remove him.  Walton sat back, gave verbal reinforcement/approval to holding a closed meeting, and took away our opportunity to view the process.  He basically denounced our trust in him.  He promised us open, legal, ethical, according to the governing documents, governance.  He failed miserably!  He failed McBride miserably!  He left him hanging out on a limb.  Did he want the presidency so bad that he was willing to stand against the principled governance he promised?  He failed the 300+ people who voted for him and trusted him.
He failed to follow the advice of the Attorney of Record.

If you haven't read it, or heard it, the results follow:

PRESIDENT - Walton
VICE PRESIDENT - Garrison
TREASURER - Cline
SECRETARY - DeMarchi

What is worse, is when Walton was removed as President, it was because the Concerned Citizens on the Board wanted control of the Legal Chair appointment.  What was one of his first moves as 2012 President?  He appointed Garrison as Legal Chair.  Garrison has snaked in and out of good governance over the last year.  The lawsuit brought by Zieske, Thomas, and Wilson has been settled.  Walton put legal in the hands of Garrison, who is still being sued in the counter suit.  Why?  It was obvious during the campaign leading up to the Annual Meeting that the Concerned Citizens were trying to continue their legal battles through the Board attorney, on our dime. 

His next move was to appoint Barrier as Community Liaison.  Barrier had this assignment during 2011 and was insulting to residents the few times he answered them.  He failed to answer for months.  Why appoint someone who had proven he couldn't or wouldn't do the job?

DeMarchi and Cline have tough assignments.  Ask if there is anything you can do to make their jobs easier, and give them a chance to serve our community legally and ethically.  If you are inclined, send McBride a note and thank him for standing up for our rights'!

WPA BOARD ELECTS OFFICERS

The WPA Board elected the 2012 Board Officers on Monday, December 5th, at a closed meeting, as follows:

*President - Jacky Walton
*Vice President - Bob Garrison
*Treasurer - Janine Cline
*Secretary - Al DeMarchi

I attended the meeting that had been posted on the WPA website and on a sign placed near the front gate, along with about 25 other interested residents.  We anticipated observing the 2012 Board at work selecting Board Members to fill these critical roles. 

What we got was the run around, and a vote to close the meeting. 

I'm off and running this morning but please visit the website early on Wednesday for a run down of what took place, as SOME of your Board voted to deny residents their right to observe this meeting.

WILL YOU ATTEND THE WPA BOARD REORGANIZATION MEETING?

The WPA Reorganization Meeting is scheduled for Monday, December 5th at 7:00 PM.  Will you take the time to attend and follow the decision making of the new 2012 Board?  During the meeting the Board will vote to establish who will fill the officer positions of President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer.

These are critical players at the Board table.  After the vote, each of the officers will still only have one vote, but each of these positions carry responsibilities that impact our community - far beyond one vote. The four have authority to sign checks.  Read the following:

________________________________________

ARTICLE VIII (By-Laws)

OFFICERS

Section 1:  Executive Officers:  The Executive Officers of The Association shall be elected by the Board of Directors and shall be the President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasure, any of whom may be removed by vote of a majority of the Directors at any meeting.   No person shall hold two or more offices.  

Section 2:  President:  The President shall be the Chief Executive Officer of The Association and shall in general supervise and control all of the business and affairs of The Association.  He/she may sign with the Secretary, or any other proper officer of The Association authorized by the Board of Directors, any deeds, mortgages, bonds, contracts, or other instruments which the Board of Directors has authorized and directed to be executed, and in general he/she shall perform all duties incident to the office of President and such other duties as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors, from time to time.

Section 3:  Vice President:  The Vice President shall in the absence or disability of the President exercise the powers and perform the duties of the President.  He/she shall also generally assist the President and exercise such other powers and perform such other duties as shall be prescribed by the Directors.

Section 4:  Secretary:  The Secretary shall keep the minutes of all proceedings of the Directors and the members. He/she shall attend to giving and serving all notices to the members and directors and other notices required by law.  He/she shall have custody of the seal of The Association and affix the same to instruments requiring a seal when duly signed.  He/she shall keep the records of The Association and shall perform all other duties incident to the office of Secretary of a corporation as may be required by the Board.

Section 5:  Treasurer:  The Treasurer shall have custody of all property of the Association including funds, securities, and evidence of indebtedness.  He/she shall keep the books of the Association in accordance with good accounting practices and shall perform other duties incident to the office of Treasurer as may be required by the Board.

________________________________________

THERE'S MORE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES!

Realize that these positions carry responsibilities greater than those described in the By-Law section quoted above.  Our By-Laws and Policies are peppered with more detail for these positions.

For instance, the President has the power to appoint the committee chairs.  You might say, "so what".  Remember, this function was so important to the Concerned Citizens, who wanted control of the Legal Chair position, that they removed Walton as President, replaced him with Wilson, so they could name Huggins Legal Chair. 

The Secretary carries a huge responsibility for the day to day management of the office,  the development and mailing of the Annual Meeting packet, and the Annual Meeting itself.  A few months ago a friend asked me if I could pull together all of the responsibilities of the Secretary from the governing documents.  The document was 3-4 typed pages long.

The Treasurer has almost a day to day responsibility of staying on tap with the financial business of our Association.  Are we documenting requests for payments properly?  Are we paying according to the contract?  Are we collecting assessments, fees, etc., according to the governing documents, legally and ethically?

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND THE MEETING?

There are several reasons you should attend this meeting.  On the positive side, it is your right to sit in on these meetings and observe your Board at work as they reorganize.  Many of us fought hard over the last year to have the meetings posted and actually attend.  During the upcoming year there is high probability that Executive Sessions will be called on critical issues, as they arise.  Again, we should want to observe first hand, the issues, the thinking of various Board Members, and their votes.  You are only allowed to observe at these meetings, but it is important to be there to show support for the Board Members you elected.  We have to get past the point where we vote once a year, acknowledge "a win or a loss", and sit back until it is time to vote again, and listen to rumor. 

On the negative side,  what took so long?  This meeting is usually called within days of the Annual Meeting.  We have been without a President since November 19th.  What held up the meeting?  Maybe you'll find out if you attend.

Before we end, back to the positive:  Last spring your old Board passed a motion to notify the residents of these meetings, by posting a sign and putting the information on the Association website. It didn't happen until now.  THANKS BOARD!!!!

REMEMBER RESIDENTS, WE ARE JUST 11 MONTHS AWAY FROM VOTING AGAIN!

A RESIDENT RESPONDS TO "A LOOK BACK, IN HOPE OF MOVING FORWARD"

"My dad always told me never pick a fight you can't win. The cc clearly started their lawsuit without the will or the resources to see it through. If you look at the whole situation objectively it is clear that this was not about canals or dredging, or who should be responsible. Instead it was all about pride. The cc group had long said the canals would never get dredged, that they would see to it. Some were even so bold as to taunt certain canal lot owners and tell them it would never happen. Along the way every dirty trick in the book was hurled out to create an almost insurmountable obstacle that seemed to derail the effort. But one by one these obstacles were overcome. They said we would never get the permit. We did. They said we could never get the board support and votes. We did. They said it couldn't be done for less than 3 million dollars, a tactic they used no doubt to scare everyone.Once again we did, and for way less than what the cc said. When it became clear they had lost, like hurt children, they threw a tantrum, disrupting meetings, interfering with the dredging contracts, the bank loan, etc. They set out to destroy the reputation of several board members who supported the project, even publicly claiming criminal acts had been committed. And when they finally, after two years of legal wrangling, get before a judge to have it heard, what do they do? They back down. They settle, getting the other side to say the State owns the canal bottoms. Do the cc actually believe that matters? It was a "red herring" issue that they trumped up to cast dispersions on the 09 board. It didn't work. And now, the best part is, they agreed the 09 board members did nothing wrong. Nothing. The cc now has to defend themselves in a counter suit for destroying  reputations, contractual interference and so on.Wow. One has to wonder, do they even realize what they agreed to? Based on all the election propaganda in my mailbox before the annual meeting, I don't think they do."

THE 2012 ANNUAL MEETING - A LOOK BACK, IN HOPE OF MOVING FORWARD

THE ANNUAL MEETING

The Wedgefield Plantation Association Annual Meeting was held on November 19th, at 10:00 AM, at Georgetown High School Auditorium.  The Board Members in attendance were Wilson, Walton, McBride, Garrison, and Huggins.  Security was hired for the meeting. Huggins certified the mailing, and it was announced that there was a quorum.  Nominations from the floor were called for three times.  There were no nonimations from the floor. 

When it was announced that the ballots would be collected, a dispute developed.  A few residents began to call out as they stood in the aisle, stating they weren't going to be allowed to vote.  One stated he had driven from North Myrtle Beach and was only a few minutes late.  Another resident, wanted to turn in a friend's proxy because the friend had intended to be there, but now had a sick mother and husband.  Others complained that their friends had been turned away because they were late, and had left the building.  It was stated that there was no time limit printed in the mailing.  When all was said and done, those there were provided ballots, those who had left were called and allowed to vote, and the person who had brought a friend's proxy was not allowed to vote.  Three important notes:  (1) Garrison served as Election Inspector, during a tough meeting and appeared to weigh each concern as they arose during the day, ethically and in the best interests of the community.  (2) Residents, elections have been lost and won by one or two votes.  Consider using your proxy to get your vote counted.  You can still opt to attend the meeting.  Too many times, life gets in the way of our opportunity to attend the meeting and vote.  (3)  Board Members, consider making a file titled "2012 Annual Meeting Preparation" and add a note regarding this issue.  This is not a criticism of the Board.  Do you realize that the Board Secretary just about has to start from scratch each year, in developing this package?

The counting began by the Election Committee and one of the next orders of business was approval of the 2009 and 2010 Annual Meeting Minutes.  That's right, they had to approve two years of minutes. During the 2010 Annual Meeting, when they prepared to approve the 2009 Annual Meeting minutes there were substantial errors.   Some wanted the minutes from both meetings read.  Those who didn't, scoffed, but they were read.  Again, the 2009 minutes had errors.  McBride read both sets, despite guff from some in the audience.

A Concerned Citizen wanted an opinion from one of their attorneys regarding the canals added to the minutes.  It didn't happen, but this is how far down hill - a slippery slope, we've come to in the recent history of our governance.

Some residents complained aloud that the meeting was more like a monthly meeting, rather than an Annual Meeting.  It was disorganized and at times Huggins apologized, as Board Secretary.

At one point in the meeting a Concerned Citizen asked if the declaratory judgement from the October 3rd, 2011 court hearing could be read into the record.  It was explained to her that while there was a court ruling, that it was not a declaratory judgement.  McBride said that he had a copy and would read it into the record.

"ORDER OF DISMISSAL WITH PREJUDICE OF PLAINTIFFS' CLAIMS (COUNTERCLAIMS STILL ACTIVE)"

Before we begin a few important "time" details:  In the Court of Common Pleas, C/A No.09-CP-22-1675, was signed by Larry B. Hyman, Jr., Judge, Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, on November 16, 2011.  It was filed in the court record on November 22, 2011.

Note:  If you would like to receive a complete PDF copy, you can email The Wedgefield Examiner  at the following address and I'll be happy to send it to you.  Here is the address:  wedgefieldexaminer@yahoo.com.

What does this have to do with the Annual Meeting and the election of Board Members?  Plenty!  First, the Concerned Citizen candidates ran on a platform that stated they won on October 3rd.  They made promises of residents getting their canal assessments back, there were errors in the canal bank loan, etc., right up until the day of the Annual Meeting.  They asked for your vote, your support, under false premise.  This lawsuit brought by Zieske, Wilson, and Thomas, supported by their Concerned Citizen members, has been fought out at our Board table over the last two years.  During that time they recalled two Board Members, under SC Non Profit Law, removed a Board President who had received more votes than anyone in the history of the WPA, refused a recall petition brought under the same laws, and  held back fact, from members of their own support network.  

Here are a few important quotes from the document:

"The parties have stipulated that the State owns the beds to the canals as they are navigable tidal waterways and no statute grants the State's ownership rights to another party. See, State v. Pacific Guano Co., 22S.C .50, 84, 1884 WL 4624, 22 (1884).  Because none of the other issues in this involve the State, the parties stipulate that the State may be dismissed as a party to this case.  The State, Plaintiff's and other named Defendants acknowledge that this Order in no way addresses any rights, duties or obligations of the Board of Directors for Wedgefield Plantation Association regarding the maintenance, dredging or any other activity pertaining to the canals and, therefore, this Order,  in no way, addresses or rules upon those rights, duties, or obligations."

"The Defendants specifically deny any wrongdoing associated with the votes for the dredging of the canals, the financing of the dredging of the canals and the collection of assessments from the members of the Wedgefield Plantation Association and for any other acts allegedly performed by these defendants and more fully described in the complaint and, therefore, this Order, in no way, finds or establishes any such wrongdoing by the Defendants."

Review the article at this site titled, "Where's The Beef".  The campaign letter described in the article arrived at my home around November 6th, long after the Oct. 3rd hearing.  Review the statements they made in an effort to secure your vote and give them the power to continue on their destructive path, on your assessment dollars. You might say, "well they lost the election".  I've heard that the votes were close, which means many of our residents didn't take the time to ask to review records and force these individuals to prove what they were saying.  It takes time to write and ask for a response or to review a document, and go to the office to review, but this is where we live, and if we want to move forward we have to get the facts. 

THE RESULTS

In the end, our residents spoke. Zieske, Thomas, and Wilson, the very individuals who brought the lawsuit, launched a 2011 campaign to bring it to the Board table at your expense, lost.  The winners were:  three year terms for McBride, Cline, and McMillin, and one year terms for DeMarchi and Walters.

One By-Law Amendment passed:  Policy Manual Changes:  "A motion to change the Policy Manual must be presented at an open Board Meeting posted on the WPA website for resident comments, and  not voted on until the following meeting."

Our 2011 candidates all had a lot to say.  Hold on to their platforms and writings and watch and see if they walk the talk.   For those who say, "we won", you won't know that for sure until you follow their actions and votes at the Board table.

A SPECIAL NOTE:  Huggins apologized for the lack of organization.  Our office secretary was sick a few days prior to the meeting.  She couldn't help illness, but those last few days are time intensive.  It takes a lot of advance preparation for the sign in, counting, etc.  Two people stepped forward to help the effort:  Peggy Phillips and Jude Davis.  They each deserve a big thank you for all that they did, to help move forward.

DO YOU HAVE A COMMENT?  YOU CAN WRITE THE EDITOR AT:  wedgefieldexaminer@yahoo.com.  I'll be happy to publish your comments.

 

THANK YOU!!! - HAPPY THANKSGIVING

The Wedgefield Examiner has had over 200 hits since the Annual Meeting.  We haven't gone out of business.  There is plently to write about. We'll start posting again on the weekend. 

As Editor, I'm thankful for the readers who check in.  It was time to take a rest for a few days.  No violins necessary, but there has been illness and the death of my mother to cope with.

Please visit on the weekend.  We have a lot to cover.

Thanks!

Happy Thanksgiving! 

TWO LETTERS - (1) Wijthoff Receives A Response To His Mailing, (2) Another Resident Responds, (3) What Do You Think?

A RESIDENT SENDS TACO WIJTHOFF A RESPONSE TO HIS MAILING

The following letter was sent to Wijthoff via US mail, in response to a mailing he sent that arrived at homes throughout Wedgefield on November 14th.  His document can be viewed at this site, "A Resident's Letter Regarding The Election".    

The name of the author of this letter has been removed at Wijthoff's request.  It is written by a long term female resident, who is elderly, and sold real estate here in Wedgefield.  She is an active Concerned Citizen.  The salutation and introductory statement indicate that it was sent to more than Wijthoff.

My Dear Neighbors,

This is in answer to Taco Wijthoff regarding the election November 19 and the candidates.

1. Ron had just undergone triple by-pass, and resigned on the advice of his doctor.
2. Carol would have been left on the Board whose main agenda was to get the canals dredged at the exspense of the entireWPA.  There is no way one vote could have prevented it.
3. As for the cost to put pipes under the road, you may have found someone  to do it for less, but probably not any better.  Most Management companies use the same contractors all of the time, and charge $200.00 each for additional estimates.  Wow, there is an additional $400.00 charge to obtain three estimates.
4. No doubt a shanty woul have cost less for an office, however, an architect was employed in the interest of esthetics who also handled procuring bids and all of the follow up. The canal group must have liked it as they commissioned an artist to paint a large mural for $800.00.
5. Carol, Fred and George started the law suit because the new board twisted our Covenants and Restrictions and By-laws, falsified the permit for dredging, and ignored all other warnings, including legal opinions, that they were proceeding illegally.
6. Who contacted the newspapers first?  As I recall the concerned citizens did so in rebutal to the first article.
7. George hauled off and slugged someone who was posing a threat to his wife who still was not steady on her feet after hip repacement.  You are forgetting that this same man pushed an elderly, frail man down his steps and just left him there without determining how badly he was hurt.  He did, however, take the time to call the Sheriff in order to save his own hide.  That was fast thinking.  Maybe an inborn trait? 
8. The Concerned Citizens want the legal issues resolved, not swept under the carpet. 

Please vote for Ron, Fred, Jackie, George and Carol.  They never lied, deceived, the members, nor twisted the rules to suit their own personal agendas.  They governed in the interest of the community.

Sincerely,

P.S.  I heard that you told Johnny Huggins you hoped his cancer would return.  How loving is that? Would you feel the same if it were your wife?

A RESIDENT EMAILS RESPONSE TO THE LETTER ABOVE 

The following response was received at this site in response to the letter above. 

My Dear _________,

You certainly have been brainwashed by the cc. They have made you forget your time here as a real estate agent selling property along the canals with the promise that the permit to dredge was in hand and the dredging would begin immediately.  In fact, you even told some present day residents that the canals were our greatest amenity.  This memory loss could perhaps explain some of your remarks.

1. Ron had triple by-pass six months before the annual meeting.  He chose to stay on the Board but not to attend meetings.  Has he checked with his doctor to make sure he is able to attend to his duties as a Board member, or will he quit again?  I understand from Jude Davis that he sent her a very nasty letter saying he wouldn't work with her - although he resigned before the election results were announced. I am sure she has kept a copy that she would be glad to show you.
2. Three of your cronies quit on election day.  Carol had ample opportunity, and was totally involved, in appointing their replacements.  She quit, along with two others, with-in four weeks of the annual meeting.  At no time then, or subsequently, were the canal property owners or family members the majority of the Board.
3. Where did you get your information about management companies charging for multiple bids?  As for expensive pipes, how do you justify awarding an unlicensed contractor a contract for $50,000 to put a pipe under a road?  This same contractor earned in excess of $800,000 from the WPA over a nine year period.
4. The WPA Board spent about $12,000 on architctural services for an office that the community had overwhelmingly voted down.  Carol and Ron were on the board that voted to build the office at an executive session--a big no no. They awarded site development contracts, engineering work, and architectural services without seeking competitive bids.  They hired a residential builder to build a commercial building without providing oversight.  Ask to look at the check register and you will find that the builder was paid in his name not a company name.  The WPA Board authorized the mural, not the canal people.
5. Yu accuse the new board of falsifying the permit for dredging yet provide no proof.  Be careful when you make such accustions.  The permit application for dredging was made many years ago with the permission of the then board.  The 2009 Board followed the opinions of the attorney-of-record as required by our documents.  They did not opinion shop and change attorneys or deliberately not follow the attorney-of-record's advice.  All attorney opinions were in writing and available for review.  Can the same be said today?
6. The cc's contacted the local papers at every opportunity including inviting them to Board meetings.  Board meetings are for members only!!!!
7. The person George Wilson slugged was leaving the building and no where near his wife.  The police reports for the incident you refer to are available at the office.  The frail gentleman you refer to broke into a home by opening a door and stepping inside.  He coudl not have been pushed to the ground because that would have involved several left turns and three landings.  In fact, this frail gentleman had already made a few incoherent phone calls before the police arrived.
8. The cc's had the opportunity to resolve the canal issue on October 3.  They refused after putting the community through hell for two years.

Just what have your candidates accomplished in their year(s) on the Board?  The Board has been charged to enhance and protect property values as well as make decisions for the good of the community.  By simple mathematics the cc's have never been the majority of this community.  Jacky Walton's 318 votes in the 2010 election represents a clear majority, your friends on the Board removed him as president.

Your PS is cruel and deserves no answer.
