The president didn't like Morgan posting information on "Punarock" internet forum if I heard correctly. The board basically patted themselves on their backs for being such martyrs and wonderful volunteers.
During the public comment period people who disagreed with the board were strictly limited to 3 minutes (or 2:40 in one case- I was timing it.) People who agreed with the board were less likely to have strict time constraints.
As the evening went on the board members sometimes interrupted the speakers and while the speakers were kept to a 3 minute limit the board members would frequently add their 2 cents to people's comments. Sometimes multiple board members would want to rebut the speaker's comments and they saw no need to limit their comments to a 3 minute limit. They seem pretty arrogant and unfamiliar with the process.
One speaker read a letter to the board from a lawyer representing the wrongfully terminated employees and requested information from them. Apparently the wrongfully fired employees were open to mediation but they want their jobs and benefits back. It sounds like they are willing to move forward with the lawsuit and if the board members were acting outside the scope of duties they may be PERSONALLY LIABLE for their <probably illegal> actions.
I expect that by Christmas some if not all of the wildcat board members will be removed from their positions either voluntarily, by negotiated settlement, or by recall process.
Someone was filming the whole thing. Don't know if/ where/ when they will post it.
Board president declared the meeting over by her own foolish self (no motion or anything) then when people complained they moved on to the next agenda item, new business. I sincerely hope that they quit their jobs before doing more harm to the association, and I hope the wrongfully terminated employees are able to get their satisfaction from the board members' personal assets rather than making us all pay for this misguided and relatively untrained board.
