Board Meeting 3-14-2013

I attended the Board Meeting last night in order to propose a locked bulletin board for Community notices.  I had hoped the Community would have the same advantage as the board by having a protected environment for our notices.  The board voted unanimously against it due to costs, not wanting control of it, fear of vandalism.  It was mentioned that if homeowners want their notices seen they will have to be diligent an keep putting up new notices if someone rips theirs down.  And so it goes....

What about the conduct at the HOA meetings?  Anyone else ever gone to a meeting and felt a bit beat up?  This was discussed last night for just a few minutes at the end of the meeting.  What bothers me is the statement that was said by more than two of the board members is "You can't control how people act".  Excuse me? Let's all take a minute to meet this here document. I would assume the board is familiar with it, but maybe it needs to be dusted off and read again.

There are absolutely rules for meetings.  Now the argument that it was not a meeting deserves a bit of discussion as well.  Due to the fact that our community rarely meets a quorum, the official meetings are often adjourned, then the option of discussion is offered. That is great!  We need to be able to discuss issues, but not without the same rules as a meeting.  It is ridiculous to accept that it is OK for Homeowner's to get attacked at meetings because of their views.  This is why the community doesn't want to get involved.  The board may enjoy conflict, but the majority folks don't.

HOA Meeting

The HOA board meeting is coming up next week on Thursday, March 14th, at 6pm.  Anyone planning to attend?
