On May 13, 2010 a Notice of a Special Meeting of the Members was presented to the Board of Directors, Russell Jones (Registered Agent) and Robert Markel and Laura Alaniz (Attorneys) by James Fonteneaux (Acting on behalf of more than 150 people who signed the document declaring the meeting). The document clearly stated that the meeting was to be held on June 26th, 2010 at 10:00 AM at the registered office of the Association (2410 La Quinta) as required in the by-laws. The document also stated the purpose of the meeting (A vote to remove Mildred Johnson Jackson Mills, Claude Whitaker, William David Hamner and Eugene Placke and also removal of the Holoway Jones Law Firm as legal council). The document was prepared according to the requirements of the by-laws of the Association, and the signatures exceeded the requirements of 1/10 of the voting members.
The cover letter requested that the Board notify the entire membership of the meeting, place and time as required by law. Adequate time was provided for the Board to do this.
Now it has been discovered that several of the “old” Board have been out in the neighborhood circulating another smear document (Fonteneaux and the new Board Members targeted as being on the attack) declaring a poor financial position as the reason they should be kept in office. The handout also states that they, the incumbent board, are now going to call a Special Meeting on July 10th at 10 AM, and that they intend to include a vote on keeping the pools and tennis courts open.
In other words, the “Old” Board is telling the membership – you cannot call or decide anything. We really do not care how many of you want something. We make the decisions as to where, when and how. We decide what the agenda will be. Just shut your collective mouths and we will run the Association as we see fit. We are the bosses – not you. If you do not like the way we do things it’s just too bad. Moreover, remember, if you come to a meeting and complain we will have the police officers that we hire with your money either throw you out or arrest you. How do you like them apples residents?
It is clearly past the time to remove these despotic members of our Board of Directors. That’s right folks – this is OUR Board and OUR Association and OUR neighborhood. It is not the property of a few individuals who have obviously become obsessed with power, and feel that they can do whatever they wish whenever they choose.
Attend the regular meeting on June 10th at the clubhouse and let this group know that they serve at our pleasure, and that the recall meeting as called by the membership will happen.
