Susan Feels Really Peeved Over Abuse

We have recently conducted our annual election. Since John Shea opted not to run, a new member was inevitable.

Fortunately, they were unsuccessful in electing their preferred candidate, Mike Bilbee.

The newly elected Board member is Debi Verkamp, and our first Member Board meeting with this newly elected representative took place on May 19, 2025.

The beginning of the meeting was rather subdued, with everything seemingly operating under a different atmosphere. What caused this change? Who knows, but it appears to be a positive step forward, or at least that was my impression. (It did not last)

It appears that the Board of Directors has decided to establish a Code of Conduct for its board members. Nevertheless, it is troubling that Debi was excluded from the development process and did not contribute any feedback regarding its content. In fact, they utilized association funds to have the association’s legal counsel issue her a letter of intimidation due to her inquiries about it.

In fact, the assertion from property management and Robert Hooper is that the legal counsel for the property association drafted the document and imposed fines on board members for infractions without any consultation with those she is meant to legally represent. If this is accurate, we require a complete overhaul of management, legal counsel, and the board! Who permits their legal representation to create such a document without engaging the Board of Directors? I have reservations about the legal counsel’s actual involvement in drafting this document.

I have removed most of the trivial details. Nevertheless, I still have 43 minutes, which indicates they provided ample material to discuss!

Please remain attentive for Monday’s post about the astonishing Code of Conduct for association members and a Zoning Change that they conveniently omitted from the agenda of the May 19th meeting.

However, they inadvertently revealed that they had already intended to surprise everyone with a “Special Meeting” in June.

What I will express is that if you operate with a defined set of ethics and standards, you would not need to be concerned about making mistakes and being discovered.
