During resident questions at the end of the meeting, a resident stated that there was a truck without a license plate parked in the area at the end of Governor Johnston, where the WPA has a gate, and grounds' storage area, that had been there for over 6 weeks. Here comes the cast of characters! Board member/Grounds Chair, McMillin jumps in and states that the truck belongs to the grounds vendor, and that it broke down, and they promised to get it out of there. He further states that he has called them many times, each time they have promised to remove it. So similar to the hide and seek of the dock adventure. Board member, Cline does the right thing, and suggests that a letter be sent immediately notifying the vendor that unless it is removed by a date two weeks out that it will be towed. Thank you Cline. Vice President/Legal Chair/Compliance Chair, Garrison agrees (Go back to his role in the dock adventure. He appears to say the right thing in the moment, but only goes back to the moment when questioned.) McMillin asks if he could just CALL THEM????? How has that been working for him (Depends on legitimate intention.)? Garrison states a letter should be written giving them 7 days, and that if they have to tow it, it won't be difficult to recoup the cost (vendor).
The point is same old, same old. Favored people (Grounds' vendor) aren't held to appropriate standard, certainly not in keeping with what would be reasonable if this board held to sound business practice in representation of the membership. This board won't uphold our governing document standards in benefit of the membership, and property value maintenance, and dance to fool us, rather than protect our property values. The theatrical face, and farce - faked surprise & resolution, don't cut it, without REAL follow through.
Stay tuned!
