Fist I apologize for my last post I made some serious typos. Second on your points:
“You bring up the reserve fund Sean. I answered that question. I'm sure it hasn't changed your mind on the issue at all. I'm sure yourself and others will try to gain traction on something else next. I wish you luck with it.”
You are lumping me into Jay’s camp again. You are assuming that I am looking to make waves and I am pushing an agenda. MY ISSUE IS THE ROADS that the governing body of seven bays destroyed. That’s all; fix our roads I go AWAY. Raise the dues to $1500 I can afford it just fix the roads. Pay the maintenance personnel well, for those who know me know I am a unionist. I believe that a man should reap the fruits of his labor. Looking back I do not think you could put a price on
Also on the roads, you said “I don't believe the majority of people in Seven Bays support the roads over the water project”. You are right; I believe that the majority of 7 Bays does not live on the corner of Rainbow and Park or Park and Ponderosa Cir, Ponderosa Cir and North point, or Rainbow and Ponderosa Cir.
As far as the water goes upgrade it just put it out to bid. At this point in time maybe it would be in the board’s best interest to resend out the engineering report. I vaguely remember it myself. Let the community reexamine it and decide.
Something else I find interesting is that you took no time to respond to my pool post. Nor did Jay, and frankly I do not care. It does prove that you’re right in your post dated September 6th in which you said “there will always be contention in this blog because that is the nature of this medium.” However I offered a way to start a dialogue on an issue that was not contentious yet important to the community and you did not enter the debate, which means that there may be something to the personal gain theory. Personally I believe that our community is too small for anyone to get away with that. More than likely it appears that you are as hell bent in spreading lies and deception as you accuse Jay.
To let you know that it may seem that I side or better yet respond to Jays arguments, that is because he gives out numbers, and if one is smart enough to read past the rhetoric they will see that he gives examples, which the other side refuse to refute. I am not asking them to jump into the attack (that’s what they got you for) just put up actual numbers. Prove him wrong, I do not have the numbers at my disposal, and by your own admission neither do you. You go on accusing him on this and that back it up. I am easy to convince just show me facts not opinions
You say Jay is trying to make one of the board members resign. That argument makes no sense to me. Was his father-in-law not on the board and resigned? Would Jay not have made every effort to keep him on? By my calculations that would have left George and Linda in the minority. Second if one resigns that would make the 2nd alternate the next in line. I have asked a couple of people each from different sides of the debate what they knew of him and it sounds like he is a wild card so Jay would be taking a gamble.
You seem to be holding the fact that Jay and Margot are not full time against them. As a part-timer I I feel strongly that my annual assessment buys me the same right to run for the board as yours. If George, Rick, and Linda choose to work in the office and do odds and ends, a sincere thanks to them and I certainly see the value in it, however that is not part of their job nor should they be held in a higher regard just because geography allows them to give more to the community. I’ll admit I do not have the history that you do in 7 Bays, so please tell me at what levels were past boards involved in the day to day operations? Many of us are down there to relax and that is why we are willing to pay a fair assessment.
Why does it matter that someone may have been giving 20 proxies? That gave one person a lot of control. Did people do their homework on the issues or just hand it over because it freed them of an obligation to be present? I will tell you that I gave my proxy away with one condition vote to fix the roads.
Random thoughts:
Resend the engineering report to all homeowners and just the report no commentary from either side, just the facts.
Water is important to any community but give us a clear reason why. Is it because my water will cease to flow in my place or is it because of fire suppression. If it is the later I ask you this, if a fire breaks out would our fire department respond in time to put it out? They are volunteers and I do not know this but is there always someone on call or in the community to man the truck? Now the Fry Tank is going, when and where did this come from. The story seems to be always changing.
The roads need to be fixed; the board has refused to do anything this past summer about this. Portable speed bumps could have been installed; permanent and visible speed restrictions could have been put in place. They did nothing.
We have spoke about the county. Does Seven Bays send anyone to lobby the county on our behalf, talk about the proverbial shaft; we are a cash cow to them. They raise our taxes and 80% of us are not residents to vote. We do not send our kids to Creston schools. They need to be held accountable.
Change the By-laws.
Make each plat elect their rep. and you must live in the plat you represent. No offense to Rick.
Give the homeowners more control. In other words the Board makes decisions that need to be made on the spot (i.e. broken water pipes, pool breaks, ect), other than that the e-board may recommend to the homeowners what should be done and the homeowners vote at monthly meetings. Of course the homeowners could also approve a budget for day to day operations. I am not looking to totally tie their hands, only on capital decisions.
Make a quorum for the homeowners meeting to be of those present at the meeting. A lot may choose not to come and that is their loss.
Talk to you soon,
Sean Morrow
