RESIDENT EMAIL:
Hi, Madeline.
Good letter by the resident encouraging people to run for the board. I wish that would happen! However, I still wonder about whether the current board members were elected legally this last time. As we discussed previously, I just don’t see how those numbers add up. If they are going to cheat to make sure they remain “empowered,” there is no point for people to run who actually could be qualified and make a difference. I would so very much love to see a full audit of that board and their feet held to the fire in the future. That would require retaining an attorney and paying him or her a monthly stipend; if that were ever an option, count me in!
COMMENTS: First, a big thank you to the resident for writing! I understand the concern. Yes, we desperately need a REAL financial, and legal audit. I won't take the time to go over the financial piece again. Just remember this board recently engaged the same CPA that closes the books each month, to perform the 2016 audit! Enough said. As far as a resident attorney present at all meetings, familiar with the governing documents, and state non profit law, who goes to the office and follows the paper trail (if there is one - please I've done it, and it is sketchy at best, and then there is all those by word of Garrison - no written legal opinions), that is so needed! Yet, the history of Wedgefield - all those SETTLED AFTER EVERYONE IS FINANCIALLY DRAINED AND WORE OUT LAWSUITS, have gotten us no where, except for your board to hang terms like "RULINGS BY A JUDGE" - not the case. It is futile. You have to get rid of this board. As to the 2016 election, I understand how it could appear that the numbers don't add up. I believe the board's answer to me represented the number of individuals who voted - not the number of lots represented in the vote. We have individuals who own 2 lots, 5 lots, and some with many, many more. Someone has to write the board and ask how many lots were represented in total in the vote. When you write, you should ask the board why anyone had to ask? Why wasn't it reported at the annual meeting? Why wasn't it reported on the board website? I believe it wasn't reported for two reasons. 1) Garrison has been working with the attorney to use the vote count against us, to go to court to have a judge set aside the covenant restriction that says 100% of the membership must vote in support to change the covenants. HE WANTS TO CHANGE THE COVENANTS AND YOU SHOULD BE AFRAID. He won't publish the number if it shows growth. 2) Your board appears to love the apathy claims - the residents don't care - they don't attend meetings - they don't vote - they support what the board is doing. STAY TUNED! UP NEXT: WHEN THE CANAL COMMITTEE DOESN'T HAVE MONEY FOR A CONTROLLED BURN OF THE BOARD NEGLECTED SPOIL SITE, THEY FIND IT IN THE GROUNDS MAINTENANCE BUDGET! CANAL LOT OWNERS, DO YOU REALLY WANT TO BE PART OF THAT HALF BAKED DREDGE? |
