Today, I went to the WPA website to see what information I could find posted regarding:
Section 7: Special Meetings: Special meetings of the Directors may be called by
the President or must be called by the Secretary at the written request of one-third (1/3) of
the Directors. Not less than three days notice of the meeting shall be given personally or
by mail, telephone, or telegraph which said notice shall state the time, place and purpose
of the meeting; provided, however, that notice requirement may be waived if signed in
writing by two thirds (2/3) of all board members holding office at that time."
LATER, IN THE BY-LAWS REGARDING ATTENDANCE BY MEMBERS AT BOARD MEETINGS: "Meetings of the Board of Directors shall be open to all members except when conditions require an "Executive Session" which shall be open only to the elected Directors." The sign doesn't say Executive Session, and board, please don't make me drag out the board's lawyer opinion as to what may be called "EXECUTIVE".
On to the subject at hand! As I was looking on the WPA website, I couldn't help but notice, and copy the following notice:

On to the subject at hand! As I was looking on the WPA website, I couldn't help but notice, and copy the following notice:
MEETING TO DISCUSS DREDGING
MARCH 6TH AT 7 PM - AT THE OFFICE."
It really didn't surprise me. This cloak and dagger board will say anything at the board table, think no one was listening, and do what they want. Here is what I recently published from my notes of the recent February WPA board meeting regarding the extension of the dredging permit.
"Garrison asks something about whether the expense would be out of WPA funds, and states that there are other things in the works??????. We come to the point that we did in January with the spoil site, it is tabled, until there can be a meeting with the canal lot owners to determine real interest in the dredging. Oh, and along the way it is mentioned that the meeting should be open to everyone. Legally, when they held the meeting the first time they should have included everyone,".
Readers, it didn't surprise me that much, but I'm sick of it, and you should be to. I've taken my first step to find out what is going on with these meetings. Today, I sent this email to the board.

Today at 2:04 PM
PLEASE DISTRIBUTE TO THE ENTIRE BOARD, AND PLACE A COPY IN THE
CORRESPONDENCE FILE
Board,
I am requesting notice from you as to when I can review the following records:
!) Notice to all board members of the Closed Meeting to be held on March 1st.
Proper Purpose of request:
Our by-laws call for written notice, at least 3 days of the meeting, called by the
president, or secretary.
I would like to review for myself, whether the meeting was properly called, and
the reason for the meeting.
While notice of the meeting is posted outside of the building, as residents, we have
no indication of who
called it, or why it was called. Such information use to be posted on the website.
I reviewed information
on the WPA website today, and it has not been made available to the membership.
2) Notice to board members of the "canal lot owners", meeting scheduled for
March 7th. Proper purpose
of request: I attended the February WPA meeting, and heard from the board table
that all members would
be invited to attend this meeting, that was to be scheduled prior to the March WPA
meeting. I have
contacted another resident who attended the February board meeting, and they
recalled hearing the same
thing. I want to see by reviewing the notice to board members of this meeting,
how it was written, and
who might have changed it as the meeting was being called.
I look forward to your notice as to when I can come in and review these notices.
I appreciate your time,
and consideration.

Member readers in good standing, on or off the canals,
we need more information from the board on both of
these meetings. Let's see what they answer. As far as
that canal lot owners meeting you have a right to be
there. If your neighbors on the canals had any guts, they
would see to it that you were included. Wherever, you
live in Wedgefield, you should be writing - not calling
your favorite board member - get it on the record, and
in the correspondence file so community liaison,
Anderson, has to answer you in writing, and report your
letter at the next board meeting. Don't take an answer
any way, but in writing. This Water Amenities
Committee, composed of board members Anderson,
Garrison, McMillin, Johnson, John Walton,and Vasey,
have not been following the governing documents, and
have violated our community governance, and have
played their illegal games for too long.
The board might as well take down one more sign,
because they aren't living up to it.
