I find it hard to believe that I have the power or charisma to persuade anyone to willfully break the law and if there is documentation, let's see it! The FACT is that it is untrue and no such document exists. I love reading about their facts and when asked to provide the supporting documents, their response is "it will take too much time." FYI: my facts are available within a moments notice and/or a simple Google search away.
I am especially fond of the part of the letter where it tells us that the community is beautiful... uhhhh, there is a 4 foot high tree stump by the mail boxes, trees are missing along Simmons, and there is an old, beat-up van that leaks large amounts of oil on the road that is parked in front a neighbors home. How is that considerate or maintaining the community's appearance?
Now, let's talk about the meetings. They are for HOMEOWNERS to approve/ratify the budget, for HOMEOWNERS to discuss and approve legal proceedings, annual elections, address complaints filed against the Association/Board Members, address unfinished business, etc. Roberts Rules for the Agenda as copied right out of the book:
We must learn to run a meeting without victimizing the audience; but more importantly, without being victimized by individuals who are armed with parliamentary procedure and a personal agenda.
- Reading and approval of the minutes.
(Motion to approve is not necessary. The minutes are either approved as read or as corrected, but without a vote.) - Reports of Officers, Boards, Standing Committees.
(This includes correspondence, treasurer's report, etc. Treasurer's report is never adopted or voted upon unless it has been audited. ) - Reports of Special Committees.
(Each report could conclude with a motion which the assembly must address.) - Special Orders.
(Any motion which was adopted as a Special Order which guarantees that the motion will be dealt with before the meeting is adjourned.) - Unfinished Business and General Orders.
(Any issue which was not concluded, was postponed, or was tabled during the prior meeting. The secretary's minutes should inform the chair which items to add to this section. Only a clueless chair would ask the assembly, 'Is there any unfinished business?') - New Business.
(This is when the chair and the parliamentarian can be surprised by the sequence of events. It is best to always anticipate issues the membership may present, or else be embarrassed by the complications.
It is at this time that announcements, educational programs, and speakers are introduced.) - Adjournment.
(A motion to adjourn may be made at any time of the meeting. The assembly should never be forced to meet longer than it is willing to meet.)
Following this agenda will take waaay more time than the 8 - 10 minutes that Mr. Bitsky claims is all that is needed. Also, the ACHOA Executive Board, for some reason, expects the homeowners to come up with an agenda. This can be heard during the most recent "meeting." How is that following Roberts Rules?
One thing the letter fails to point out is that the complaints made to the Ombudsman are against the ACHOA and the ENTIRE board. No one is out to "destroy" any one, as the many video and audio recordings prove, Mr. Bitsky handles that very well on his own. The FACT is that we found not only unethical behavior by the board members but gross misappropriation of Association funds by the Executive Board. These are the things that the Ombudsman is currently investigating. By the way, the Ombudsman has not done anything yet because they are still investigating.
Lastly, what have I lied about? Did I lie when I brought Mr. Bitsky's Felony conviction to light? Did I lie when I brought the ACHOA credit card to light? Did I lie when I brought the FACT that he doesn't have either a Real Estate License or Property Managers Permit? I would like to see what I am accused of lying about... again, I have documentation to support all of my accusations against the Board Members, Mr. Bitsky (hiding behind the Board) only has his own heresy.
Oh, and who is he trying to fool by saying that he is stepping down as President? Whether he is President, Vice President or Secretary/Treasurer, it changes nothing: the ACHOA address is still HIS house, the ACHOA phone number is still HIS phone number, the computer used for the ACHOA is still HIS computer, he and his wife still maintain the majority of power for the Executive Board, and the CREDIT CARD is STILL in his name.
Mr. Bitsky and the Executive Board are trying to take us all for idiots. I've got news for them: We are all waaaay smarter than they think.
