Mermaid, you mentioned earlier something about a special membership meeting for the proposed chip seal project. I didn't see it on the last BOD meeting agenda. Do you know if the BOD is just going to shove it down our throats? I heard Ruth thinks that the membership has no business telling them what to do or how to conduct association business and she has said in open meetings that the members telling the BOD what to do is like "the tail wagging the dog". And, not only once did she express this attitude but several times. So, she thinks she's the big dog and we're the tail. At least she didn't liken us to fleas. She's irredeemable and needs to be replaced.
I remember the old GM doing some research about what is probably the same road product that you mentioned the new GM brought up at the BOD meeting, something that the military uses. I think the old GM thought that it was too expensive and would have to be reapplied regularly.
I think the new GM will come to the same conclusion and we'll be back to the BOD shoving chip seal down our throats. I'm not against chip seal but I certainly want to be convinced it is the right product for our roads... but, only after due diligence by the BOD and GM. Only then should we support it. I saw the new chip seal work being done in Orchidland and it looks promising however, a friend of mine who lives up there says he's not convinced it's the best thing. With as much money and as long a process this will take this BOD better seek the members approval!!!
