NOTE: THE DEBRIS PILE WILL APPEAR EVERY DAY ON THE BLOG WITH COMMENTS, UNTIL YOUR BOARD TAKES CARE OF CLEAN UP FOR ALL OF US, AND NOT JUST THE DUKEDOM!
There is a sign near the office announcing yet another open board meeting. The WPA official website announces the following "OPEN BOARD MEETING, February 26, 2014 @ 7:00pm at the WPA office. AGENDA: discussing & approving additional money for storm clean up." It appears that the message on the WPA website was posted on February 21st.
From what I've seen while driving around the association, the only work completed by the 21st, was the Enclave (The Dukedom, special project area for our Treasurer.) and the Francis Parker area. Your board approved up to $8,000 to start. They started late and in an area (DUKEDOM) that provided the least benefit to the greater membership. There was some, very little, work today on Wedgefield Rd. Why is there a money problem this early, as early as the 21st? Your board deserves this skepticism for a number of reasons. Your board approved up to $8,000 the night of the storm (Feb. 12). They failed to give any real detail at the February 18th board meeting. They had hired this contractor, knew the rate per, said it was OK if people threw non storm debris items on the pile, and never told us when, who, and how this vendor was selected, or how he would be charging us. Additionally they knowingly added to the cost by allowing residents to throw other debris on the pile. This is our money they are spending and it doesn't look like they have handled it in the best interests of the general membership.
Again, take a drive by board member homes. One for sure is adding non storm debris to the pile. Most of the damage was done by pine trees. There are little to no pine trees in his yard and not much in the pile by the road. His debris (lots) is mainly blunt cut tree limbs (non pine), and includes a shrub that was dug out and laid out there with the whole root ball. See for yourself. Your board has been unfair to all of us who follow the rules. How much is this generosity adding to the bill we all have to pay?
