The simple fix to 7 Bays Problems!

From the Covenants:

 

AND ANY MEMBER MAY BE REMOVED FROM MEMBERSHIP ON THE BOARD BY VOTE OF THE OWNERS

 

WHAT DO YOU SAY 7 BAYS? I am for removal of the whole board. If they run again and get in so be it. It seems that a couple of the team of three are in over their heads, heck my “representative” won’t even hold a Platt meeting that was requested with residents of our Plat, and the other two are in such a position that they are not effective. Some will argue that they brought it upon themselves, and I do not necessarily disagree.

 

For what it is worth I had a discussion with a member of the community this weekend at the pool whose name was featured prominently in a recent blog. Several times during the talk he kept saying that my side did this and my side wants that. He feels I am on the side of the minority of the board. That is not true. I am on the side that will do what is best for our community. I started coming down here in 2003 and the dues were under $600. Now they are going over 1K and for what? It seems we went most of the summer without full time maintenance staff, our roads are worse now then ever, we may or may not have enough water to meet our needs, and a large part of 7 bays road may or may not sluff off into the Bennett’s house thus launching them into the lake.

 

We need leadership, and regardless of what the chairman said prior to the last meeting he lost control of the meeting, PERIOD! (*note I saw in the police blotter in the Davenport Times that the Sheriff in attendance was called by a homeowner, give me break!) And like I said before I expect more from the people that have control over so much of our money.  

 

Just for the record I also do not appreciate being video taped and recorded like at the last two meetings. Are we that paranoid?

 

Another question that I still would like an answer to was why was the last board meeting canceled? If the chair was ill I totally understand him not being there, yet there still could have been a quorum if only one of the other two show up. I hope going forward the same courtesy is extended to Jay and Margot.

 

Now as far as pending seven bays issues, after talking to several members of the community it seems that the water issue needs to be addressed. We spent money on a new tank lets get some use out of it but let’s get several bids and bring it to the membership.

 

Regardless of who’s at fault the roads are an issue that need to be addressed. In Plat II we have not been able to leave our boat uncovered or windows open all summer.

 

Another concern is the pool I was all for a key card system, but two issues have come up since it was discussed at Augusts’ meeting. One was a belligerent guest of a homeowner that the current pool guard had to kick out, and an accident by a child in the pool that was cleaned immediately, if he was not there how long the pool would have to be closed?  If salary is an issue get two pool monitors thus avoiding OT pay.

 

It seems that many members of the community lack the courtesy to drive 5mph to keep the dust down how can we ever expect them to police behavior in the pool?

 

Like one of the members said at the last homeowners meeting both sides of the Board need to work together or on the 21^st we vote for a:

 

RECALL!

 

My suggestion is that the entire board meets prior to, or take the board meeting into executive session on the 7^th and work out their differences or the homeowners meeting on the 21^st may end in a:

 

RECALL!

 

Have a great week!
