Our Village

Out of the “suggestion box” was lot 279 wanting to know if there was “automatic bill pay” available for monthly fees. Lot 409 complained the laundry facility was dirty. SC14 thought our park needed a water commissioner as an added Aramark employee. Lot 345 brought up rental activity is still being done by unlicensed people. Lot 558 wanted the restaurant’s full menu to be publicly posted. Lot 229 complained of flags not being flown on weekends. Lot 747 thought a closed “Workshop” was wrong. Lot 638 had a lengthy letter about closed “Workshop” meetings.
From the Directors we heard Director Gunderson agreeing with the owner of lot 638 in that “Workshops” should be open to the owners. Director Vasquez said people are confusing this issue, and then gave his reasons why “Workshops” are not a meeting at all opened to owners. Directors McBride and Pelletier seemed to agree with Director Gunderson while Directors Steffensen, Guerra, Chapa, and Ramirez seem to side with Vasquez.
From the owners in the audience the first owner Lot was not stated but said a dictatorship is the most efficient way to rule but we don’t have that here and you on the board should not be so afraid of owners by keeping your comments behind closed doors. This owner continued by saying the owners want your thinking on issues in order to decide whether to re-elect you or not, so show some backbone. Lot 768 first gave everyone a meeting history lesson and then said Workshops technically are not a meeting. She continued saying the open meeting act does not apply to our Association and that meetings would be longer without a Workshop. Lot 828 spoke about the restaurant financial report numbers being very questionable citing one thing after another. Director Vasquez did as he did the previous month when an owner had multiple financial questions, to leave him these questions and he will address them during the Regular meeting. Lot 145 on the Workshop issue said there is one word for this, transparency. Lot 806 said lots on East Oyster seem to be in violation of the water restriction and our Village rental office seems in violation of the real estate laws by not going through a Broker. She continued with concerns that Aramark was not following budget approved by the Board and questioned a yearend zero budget. Director Vasquez became unglued after thinking this owner came about information on the rental violation from an executive meeting. He said this is a violation if a member of the Board disclosed such info. After telling this owner she is no longer part of the Board, Director Vasquez saluted her on her service with the Board. Lot 356 asked if the Board has come to any ruling on a curb encroachment issue brought up two months ago. After some confusion the Board said it will be an agenda item for the next meeting.
