HERE IS MC MILLIN'S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE TO OUR COMMUNITY, AND JUST MAYBE, TO THE BOARD, AND OUR GOVERNING DOCUMENTS . UPDATE:THIS BOARD MEMBER IS SO LOW, THE LOWEST ANY ONE CAN GET, THAT HE HAS CUSTOMIZED SANTA SH-TTING ON A HOUSE, WITH MY HOUSE NUMBER - 168! ASK THE BOARD TO REQUIRE A FELLOW BOARD MEMBER FOLLOW THE GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, AND YOU COULD BE NEXT.
I drove in late last night, and this offensive picture (quite large), was hanging off the side of McMillin's house facing his lot which contains his burning pots, chairs, wood pile, and trailers, highlighted by a spot light. I was tired and didn't really pay attention. At 8:00am this morning, my phone rang with the first call of objection. The caller stated we had children in our community, how could anyone think this was OK? I advised the caller that McMillin appears to be on a mission to do what he wants to do, when he wants to, and that it could appear your board is willing to split hairs, regarding our governing documents, to remain cohesive. Their - the caller's next move was up to them. The second caller said, "wasn't McMillin the guy that made the offensive sign, displayed outside the WPA office, "SHOW SANTA YOUR JUGS"? Yes, as I recall, he was. Your board allowed it. They would have to have noticed it. The third caller said, "I hope if a school bus driver picked up children, that they were smart enough to call the police". The last caller said, "Please post it on your blog, but cover Santa's bare behind, it is offensive." Can your BOARD MEMBER, MC MILLIN, hang a Christmas message to the community on his home like this? I don't believe there is anything in our governing documents that prohibits it. It may speak to his regard for the community at large. My advice, do what you need to do. Contact the board, and see how soon you get a response. Remember, some of you, just re-elected this champion of our community.
I, personally feel that this is his message to the board, and the governing documents, and that they may be reminding him, that he may be violating with his vacant lot, adjacent to his home. If it is a message to his fellow board members, they deserve it. Read Legal Chair/(NOW) COMPLIANCE CHAIR, GARRISON'S response to my complaints, posted on the blog, immediately following this article. Garrison admits that the two other violations that I wrote the board about twice, with pictures, have been taken care of. Wouldn't you think that your board would have talked to McMillin at the same time? The issue on John Green which involved another board member, has been resolved. Yet, with the situation at Mc Millin's, Garrison begins to split governing document hairs. Garrison says, "If the boat and trailer is indeed on the vacant (as in unbuilt) lot, it does indeed need to be moved in accordingly. I see no violation of the "burning pots' as they are clearly not being stored there per your letter, but rather have been in use. In any event, defining what shall be allowable relative to burning as related to covenant #7 is, as you know, under review by the board. I will tell you that I believe the proposed policy change now having had first reading is insufficient in definition and allowance and will suggest that it be reviewed and restructured, and that the present policy change up for second reading in December rejected."
Who brought the published burning policy - "no burning - no exceptions", up for change in October? Mc Millin, because he already had invitations out to attend his bon fire, in his burning pots, on his vacant lot, for November 1st. The board can't make a policy change, without two readings. The second reading is going to be held in December. Yet, Mc Millin burned many times in November, and your board says the pots aren't stored on the vacant lot, they are in use. He'll live by any policy he wants, when he wants. Remember, Board Member Cline, said "nothing was to be left on vacant lots," from the board table during the annual meeting.
As to Garrison's written comments about boat and trailer. He is maybe, intentionally confused. I never complained about a boat and trailer, and I sent pictures TWICE, as to exactly what was on the lot. There was no question. Special treatment for a defiant fellow board member? My advice if you have a vacant lot, is set up chairs, fire pit, and anything else you want. Go sit in the chairs off and on, and move your trailer a little this way, and a little that way, and you should not only be home free, but have the advantages that BOARD MEMBER MC MILLIN has. Why not? This is his Christmas message to our community.
