POA Board Majority Fires Director Garrison

I have tried and tried to tell you people that HSV as we know it is done. Over. This action proves it.

A large protest of some sort needs to happen.

Hard to believe these legacy board members are this stupid, but it is obvious. They insist on being divisive and untrustworthy. Don’t know how they sleep at night.

Proves beyond a doubt Nalley runs the show. Files a grievance and even before a decision is made, one director out.

This is a mess that will go on for years and years and cost residents thousands, if not millions, in salaries, bad decisions and of course lawsuits.

This is the worst kind of news. I’m sure that this is a turning point in HSV history and future. We will remember this like it is an attack on our sovereignty.

Class action lawsuit and I pledge $100 to start maybe more later

Julie I appreciate your frustration but that’s just what they hope for. Now more than ever, we need to be at Board meetings and the Let’s Talk. We need vocal numbers and Opposition to their mismanagement at every meeting
What about banners and signs against those on the board who continue to support this unethical behavior?
Opposition needs to be constantly visible. We need to be there.

It makes you think your vote doesn’t count for much! We vote them in and if they keep their integrity they kick them out.

Posted this before adding my name so here it goes again.

Money talks. Withhold assessments?

Disgraceful!!

A member’s meeting can remove Board members and replace them at the same meeting. Arkansas is one of twenty-eight states that require the same amount of votes to remove directors as voted them in. After Erickson is removed Garrison will be the first one elected to take her place. Remove Leuhring, Dixon, Mikey and all others who will not pledge to remove the Congress of New Urbanism/DPZ from our community. We do not need money. What we need is Masses. Meet Mondays at the DeSoto Club at 5:30 and the third Wednesday of each month at the Woodlands. If the building won’t hold us, the parking lot will. Stop all divisionary small talk and just do it. Every member is equal and every member is needed.

It has become increasingly obvious that the only way the property owners are really going to be heard is through the courts. Nothing we have done thus far has even made a dent in these misguided decisions being made. Hang in there, it’s time to form another grassroots movement only this time the end result will be a class-action suit. Give a few of us a couple of days to put an action plan together. We can’t let this continue. This is our Village! It does not belong to the hired help!

Instead of starting with the courts where we’d pay for both sides, maybe we should start with a good private investigator to find the conflicts of interest, hiring of relatives, and other malfeasance.

Kirk – Thank you for your expert analysis of what won’t work. If you disagree that is acceptable but how about some constructive input on what other options we have available to us. Talking to them isn’t working. CCI already has a team going through the records, so what makes us think another investigator is going to uncover anything that can result in anything that will change our situation. And for the record, comparing me to Ms. Nalley is uncalled for. I thought we were on the same team!

Many want to bring their views to the homes of the four board members, they probably need to call HSVPD First , then being employees, that may not be safe , because they would be required to be at the homes of 4 different homes , away from their normal operation and needs , I think they may be undermanned as it is .so for safety of all , please call them .. I do understand the anger .

Once again… BOYCOTT the Bee Hive. I don’t care who works there (get another job) or how much financial interest Erickson has. Be it 1% or 100%. Best way I know to make someone a believer is through their wallet.

KIRK…. If I never see another post from you, it will be too soon.

I left this post on NextDoor earlier, but I want to repeat it here:

The HSV bylaws specifically provide that a director may be removed “for cause,” which includes “Interfering directly in the management of the Association.” Pretty standard boilerplate policy in most organizations. Ms. Nalley had previously invoked arbitration, pursuant to policy, to address and maybe resolve an allegation of said interference. Arbitration is also a common tool to allow folks in an organization to air grievances and hopefully obtain relief beneficial to the individual and the organization.

Maybe, just maybe, Mr. Garrison was guilty of the alleged interference. It is enough, within the confines of HSV policy, that 4 of his colleagues believed that he was. They followed the rules in his removal, or so it appears.

It would now behoove the BOD to issue a detailed statement to put all this hand-wringing to rest. I admit that I have no more idea of what has happened that anyone else posting on this matter. If this was some form of power play, and the charges were trumped up, there is time enough for the vapors. In the meantime, summer is lingering, so get out and get some fresh air, and enjoy the beauty that brought us all here in the first place. Sunlight is a pretty good disinfectant, eh?

So everyone is convinced that Ms. Nalley and the gang of four are marching in lockstep to rob us of . . . . . . . what, exactly? Maybe Ms. Nalley has incriminating photos of the four. Maybe she is holding their emotional support iguanas for ransom in an undisclosed location. Maybe she is using her inflated salary to buy their votes at $100 a pop. Or maybe, she is trying to make the Village into an attractive destination for vacationers, retirees, and families, and the gang of four shares some of her vision. Maybe she overreaches too much, maybe there have been some boneheaded decisions, and yes, maybe we are seeing a power play unfolding. Welcome to small-town politics, folks.

But here are some relevant facts (I think): In the recent past, we have gained a world-class pickleball facility that has already brought great publicity and new visitors to the Village. We are about to gain a swell new outdoor pool that will appeal to prospective property owners, developers, and residents as an upscale amenity. Commercial developers are voting with their checkbooks for an enlargement of Maderas Gardens and that other residential development off DeSoto that I am too lazy to go back and find the info for. Greg Jones and his wife are voting with their checkbooks for the Beehive and Explore Lakeside restaurants, Artfully Baked on DeSoto, and the Balboa Marina. We have a brand new neat little grocery market at Ponce and DeSoto that I am too lazy to go find the name of. Dolce Vita serves up some damn fine pasta and wine at reasonable prices. The lakes are beautiful and the trails help keep us young. Granada restaurant has a good steak special tonight and DeSoto Grill serves up some mean catfish on Friday nights. I had a killer shrimp and grits bowl for breakfast this morning at Deborah’s on Carmona, now that they’re open for Saturday breakfast. And yes, I am thankful that Balboa G.C. is about to get a much-needed renovation in keeping with a vision of making everything about the Village first-class and well-maintained. I just wish they would convert the greens to Bermuda to match the fast and true-rolling greens at Magellan and DeSoto. Oh well, can’t have it all.

So anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, the allegations of dictatorial and corrupt machinations by our POA. Maybe Ms. Nalley has the gang of four by the short hairs, or maybe they just all happen to be in alignment on what they in good faith feel is best for the Village and for us, the residents. I honestly have no clue what is going on. It would be nice if the Village Voice could exercise some journalistic chops and get some incisive interviews on the record with the major players, who I would hope would be forthcoming and not evasive. As always, the cover-up is at least as damning as the crime. So pardon me while I go out to enjoy – wait, it’s too darn hot. So I’ll just stay inside and watch the Razorbacks play football the way I play golf – earnestly but inadequately. Cheers, everybody.

Has anyone asked Dick why he was removed?

One reason Dick Garrison was elected on the BOD was for more transparency.
The CEO and the BOD have too many secrets. We should know about the salary contracts for employees and be aware of law suites filed since we pay for both.
It is time to start a petition to remove Ms. Nalley and the 4 board members who voted Mr Garrison out before they put us in bankruptcy.
We are very willing to donate to a fund for this removal.

I am going to weigh in on this conversation one last time. First, there is no place for name-calling; this site should be used to express your thoughts, not attack someone because they don’t agree with you. If that is the type of environment you want, may I suggest ND would be perfect for you? While I do not support a movement to hold a membership meeting, I do respect people’s right to suggest their solution. However, throughout all of this, my emphasis has been that regardless of what action is taken (if any), it must be done under the watchful eye of a trained professional (attorney). Personally I don’t believe you are going to achieve getting 5,500+ signatures on a petition. Then even if you do, which football stadium are you going to reserve to hold the meeting? Then if you get a vote to remove board members, exactly who is going to perform the removal (Chief Middleton)? Who are you going to select as the new board members as they have to be seated at the time of removal of the old board? There are too many moving parts to pull any of this off without legal counseling and advice and then there is the fact that our Declarations use 1963 language and not 1993. There is a process out there for doing what is being suggested; the question is can it actually be implemented? I believe the focus should be getting three board members elected in March 2020 who you know will carry forward the work that has already begun and we should encourage Dick Garrison to be one of those. He would win in a landslide! This is our home, please stop the name-calling and let’s pull together to accomplish the will of the majority of the property owners.
