We Believe in You
Dear 2020 Board Directors,
Greetings. I wanted to send you all a special note to let you know we wish you well this year. I guess you all know by now, that you are the “chosen” ones. No pressure. We know you all realize that special scrutiny will be placed on this Board by the electorate of HSV. We believe this to be true, fair or not.
It is becoming increasingly paramount that HSV goes back to at least a semblance of what our beautiful village was initially intended to be- “An active lifestyle retirement community.” This is what was advertised to us when we first came and laid eyes on this 26,000-acre gem of a gated community. We want it to remain so- just maintaining what we have.
Increasingly, year after year, the hue and cry of the members as a majority is “Community NOT Corporation.” Unmistakably so, the clamor is heard loud and clear. The community has suffered through much torment and apprehension, even to the point of challenging the rationality and mental health of some. God is testing us. Some are failing. We have reached a fork in the road with a few neighbors. Broken, Impasse, Deadlock, Stalemate, and Polarized are some words to describe the angst. Some people are going off the rails. Me too.
We have to change the direction our CEO is steering us for the health of this community. We need to heal. How we arrived at this point, is immaterial. Everyone has their own story of how this came to be. I admittedly have mine. Debating this subject only makes some dig in their heels.
To take a new direction is the mandate before our BOD. I’m so sorry that this endeavor has fallen at this Boards’ feet jointly. Call it “the fickle finger of fate.” Somebody has GOT to do this. Fate has put you all together to do what you HAVE to do. It is a critical task, indeed. Unraveling the governances, the mountain of paper, that only seems to be a maze of protectionism, can not come easy. We understand that. But from what you all have shown so far, you are up to the herculean task at hand. Your legacy will show that this was the turning point year. We see that you all have the right stuff. We believe in your commitment. We believe in your knowledge. We just thank you so much more than you will ever know. Thank you for your time, your talents, and your treasures.
So faint not. No balking. Cannons to the left, cannons to the right. Put your back into it. Damn the torpedoes.
I am not trying to be cavalier about the situation because this is serious business. We are with you all the way through this effort to arrive at a favorable outcome. I only have a small voice, but collectively, we are a chorus.
“In board we trust”
With great respect,
Concerned Villager

Dear Concerned Villager,
All I can add is my agreement. Thank you for writing this much warranted missive of support, and thank your to our new Board for acting on their campaign promises with no delay.
One of the many voices in the chorus,

Nothing can go forward until LN and her minions are gone. Pure and simple. Someone has to have the resolve and courage to stand up to her. Right now that is none. Of course there will be a lawsuit, that is why a major law firm has been retained. Fire her and her minions, get in with the property owners business and let the lawyers litigate.

I have said before and I say it again, with all the support and faith in this board to:
MAKE THE VILlAGE GREAT AGAIN.
We will find ourselves in the village we all moved here for. A gated community for the majority of retired and like minded people.
You are supported by the majority. Thoes who want facilities for their children growing up I ask you, why did you choose the village. To change it or to accept and enjoy it.
I enjoy the children living close to me but I do not want to change the village into a multigenerational place to live.
Retirement community says it like it is. I mean no disrespect to anyone. Just how I feel.

Per the majority of all property owners…WE SUPPORT OUR NEW BOD MEMBERS more than 100% can ever say !

Thank you 2020 Board for listening to the members and I look forward to a great year knowing you are there to return the Village to its glory!!
We stand with you,

First rattle out of the box Governing documents were ignored when making motions. Do the rules not matter to this Board or was it just a sense of knowledge of the rules that govern due to their short tenure.
Surely someone would have asked, “do we have any governess issues with any of these motions”
Apparently not or just didn’t care.
A little vetting beforehand would be nice or the Board will subject themselves to the same scrutiny that constituents have demanded in the past.

I don’t wish to seem pedantic, but your post is more than a little confusing. Due to the spelling errors (did you really mean we have governess issues? To which governess are you referring, and why is she an issue?), mixed tenses (past, present and future tense in the same sentence) and incorrect or missing punctuation, your meaning is not clear – at least, not to me.
Are you supporting what the board has done to date, or opposing it?
Are you for the new board members’ agenda, or against?
Is this a warning to the new board members, or just a criticism?
I am sorry, I am not trying to poke fun, but I really cannot understand what point you are trying to make.

any fool would know the point…get rid of the little “ceo”, get rid of the CMP, get rid of the high-priced do nothings in POA management, get rid of stupid and costly contracts (gates, Troon, etc.), fix what we have, get rid of the corporate nonsense, get rid of the stupid neighborhood names, get rid of all this crap.
Sorry it left you confused….the rest of us are not.

Moe, maybe you should try to get on the same page or article…. what a bag of nonsense! Most property owners are really done listening to your nonsense, please go play some place else.

Is that what the author said in the comment? Then I definitely am the fool you so kindly called me because it is not at all clear to me that this is what was being said!

Andy, Moe is mistaken about the comment and you are no fool.
Liz

Wow, are you good. You got all that from that mish-mosh. I am glad you were not confused, I surely was.
I agree with your statements regarding removal of ceo, cmp, but is that what he said?
What I got out of it was a put-down of the new board. One board meeting and he wants all the i’s dotted and all the t’s crossed. As if that is what we had been getting from the previous boards.
Give them a break. They will do the people of the village proud.
If you have to complain, please wait until this time next year. Although I believe you will be hard pressed to find anything of substance to complain about, unless you nit pik.
The Majority of the people are 100% for the new board.

Moe has become a pesky Troll. It will become harder for him/her to make its point.
Moe
05/05/2020 — 12:10 pm
Mo ain’t really such a bad guy,
and to get him to leave you can sure try.
But just cause he don’t agree with you,
Don’t allow for namin’ him somethin anew.
He ain’t no troll and he ain’t no fool,
But he’s a gonna follow the golden rule,
and not call no one no such names.
All he asks from you is just the sames.

Moe, agreed as long as you don’t call A.K. a fool. A.K. is definitely not a fool.

Voted for them to shake things up. The shaking this morning just went off the charts. Outstanding!
