Even if everyone goes along with this mailbox thing, it's still illegal. What I'm thinking is that the very act of "voting" on this implies it's ok. Best reply is to say "I can't vote ON this, it violates the bylaws.". If you say," I can't vote FOR this", then you are justifying this illegal action.
You have to be very careful of your wording.
I think we should all take heed in how we move forward as eightfingers points out. Some of us who've been posting on HPP threads have known for quite awhile that we have a less than honest majority board...as we've seen them in action at board and membership mtgs for over 2 yrs now. Remember, we're also in a lawsuit bc of board members and paying high insurance rates as a result.
The board needs to show us how they think this is a legal venture justifying the expense of over 1 million of OUR dollars. Then they need to show us THE PLAN. The board pres has a lot of explaining to do and she should give us a presentation at our next membership mtg. It better be on the membership mtg agenda as a board presentation.
This is yet another expensive project which the board has thrown together in a reckless manner w/out dotting every i and crossing every t before they sent this "ballot", (w/an ad on it). They have no right to impose any late fees upon us until they make their case w/us and we approve the plan.
Another troublesome concern is who's going to tally the ballots? I don't trust them...why should any of us trust them after the election fraud, the non transparency that's been going on for over a year with OUR $$$$ and the chip seal project? League of women voters, a prof'l 3rd party needs to be involved and guess what? Nothing like that is in place. So the vote IMO is already flawed.
This is reckless management. The chip seal project started out the same, w/out giving the membership any solid information, plans, costs, no board VOTE at a board mtg, no membership vote, before spending thousands of our $$$$ and diverting OUR road maint $$$ to chip seal. Strong arming it then and here we are again w/the mailboxes. Dejavu. This is outright arrogance...bylaws? What bylaws?
Why wasn't the FC involved in this major financial decision?
Why should we hand out any more $$$ to this reckless board? They're out of touch w/reality if they thought the membership was going to take the raised road maint fees, demanding $$$ for mailboxes and doing an increased road assessment for businesses located in HPP all at one time. Is some of this $$$ going to be feeding the CS monster as well? I'm sure it will.
