Current HOA president ran on a platform of transparency and bringing the community together.
Leadership has included:
- Continuous accusations and attacks against board members and management company
- Support and request for board member resignation when opposed on items
- Bypassing normal board process and decision making to promote personal agendas
- Ignoring or downplaying qualified legal opinions
- Spending $1100 of Association funds to review evidence in a case won by Association
- Changing board decisions without agreement from other board members
- Ignoring Board sanctioned agreements
- Passing confidential information from Attorney offices to his supporters
- Dismissing committees such as Signage committee and not building on existing experience
- Failing to understand or attempting to interpret governing documents without legal advice
- Motioning to have the Attorney preside and run board meetings
Case in Point
"If I don’t receive a Second on my motion by 9 pm this evening, I will be forced to move forward appropriately."
Board Decisions Interfere with Presidential Duties
Is this community going to have to shell out $150,000 to get our front entrance monument back due to mismanagement and inability to manage a team?
The HOA Board of Directors voted 2 for and 1 against to dismiss New Gauge Property Management and hire Wise Property Management without providing justification or information on the process to the membership.
Wall maintenance has been a nagging concern since it was discovered that the Association did not own any of the walls. The Association decided to maintain common walls. Will we have enough funds to fix them?
Chris Renshaw has assumed responsibility for monument, however at May meeting indicated that we would not see a sign this year and that he was not working with previous committee that had done so much to further the extension and sign work. Chris failed to comment on the reasons for delays or if the community would be miss out on County funding to the tune of $153,000
Previous board provided detailed information concerning plans for the signage including county planning, permits and architectural diagrams.
The decision was unanimous amongst the board members to investigate other management options and compare what was available in the market as part of a due diligence.
The process was run without proper competitive analysis from multiple vendors or properly comparing services, costs or even discussing it internally between all board members.
Changing Management companies can have a huge impact to the community and choosing a management company simply to get rid of the previous one when you have only received two credible bids is not good business practice.
The community has worked tirelessly to get signed variances from all properties owning common walls to create an agreement for joint maintenance of the wall structures so that the original esthetics of the community can be maintained.
Work began in May to remove diseased and problematic trees along Fawn Ridge Blvd that would have impeded work on the wall. This is the first section to be addressed prior to moving onto Exposition Drive.
Wall maintenance is not cheap and costs around $150.00 / linear foot
