The Time is Now HSV!

I will be campaigning and voting for these three candidates: Dick, Lloyd, and Tucker. I believe in them and their plans for the Village. If you know me, then you know my character and the moral and Christian values by which I live my life. I ask you to vote for these three candidates However, I do admit to and deeply regret my past mistake: I campaigned for Tormey but he lied to me and everyone else and turned traitor to the villagers who voted for him. He tried to explain why he changed sides at one of the meetings that I attended saying that things were different once he got on the BOD and he saw his need to make a change. Shame on him for deceiving us; I will never forgive him!
Folks, this is our chance to right the wrongs in our BOD and I believe with all my heart that Dick, Lloyd, and Tucker are the right men for our BOD.

I posted these comments and questions under Tucker’s recent message but they apply to all candidates:

First, thanks for stepping up to run. Much appreciated. I like the philosophy you have projected.

But I would like to know a few more specifics including:

1. Will you replace Nalley?
2. Will you shut down and remove the CMP?
3. How will you run marketing if not under POA?
4. What do you propose to fix the broadband and cellular issues which exist?
5. Will you disband the Governance Committee?
6. Will you cancel the “board orientation” and get rid of the misguided consultants who POA have had running it?
7. What are you going to do about collecting assessments owed and growing from defaulters?
8. What is your position on raising assessments and/or special assessments?
9. As a board member to whom do you think your fiduciary duty is owed: the Members or the Corporation?
10. How exactly will you fix the gate problem?
11. When and how will you reverse all the bad bylaw and policy changes which have been forced upon us by the last 4 or 5 boards?
12. How do you propose to fix our failing and $2 million per year losing golf program?
13. What do you think can be done to obtain some payback from the counties of even a little bit of the Millions they collect every year from us in taxes?

Thanks.

Well, I wasn’t going to weigh in on this first, but pretty apparent it is not going away. Some of these questions can’t be answered without qualifies, so for those wanting yes or no answers on some issues, they can’t happen. Keep in mind each board member has ONE vote and you need consensus to reach a majority decision. Failure to do so will result in business as usual for the foreseeable future and one has to ask how many more cycles can we go through before it is too late.
1. Do I believe we need a change in management? Yes. Do I see a clear path to seeing that happen? No! The previous board to include Cindi, Nancy, Buddy, and Mike ensured the position was protected from the dismissal by the board. This same group is also likely to extend her contract rendering the next board unable to remove the CEO. I do not support the continued employment of the CEO, nor do I believe we require a CEO. A GM suits this position much better.
2. CMP cannot be implemented! It needs to be eliminated and we need to go back to strategic plans that meet our immediate needs with an eye on the future.
3. The Board should be the brain trust and my vote would be for a board-level Marketing Committee made up of ex-marketing professionals. We have to create an environment where builders want to invest in building new rooftops.
4. I wish I could answer that. I don’t know! Obviously more towers would help but unless the providers are willing to invest in our community, things cannot improve. We need to continue to try and work with them to make that happen.
5. Yes. If you have a board that can work together, why do you need yet another group of board members to determine what they are going to bring before the entire board? This is a redundant operation.
6. Yes. There are other professional options that do nothing but provide good board leadership and having a group that follows the will of someone else, is totally unnecessary.
7. Continue the collection efforts while realizing the value of lots has been diminished by the POA. Lot programs have been proposed in the past and have fallen on deaf ears. We need to restore the value to lot ownership with a specific program.
8. I believe our assessments are too low to maintain what we have. However, I cannot support even suggesting an increase until such time as an austerity program has been implemented and property owners have been ensured their monthly investments are being used wisely.
9. It is actually to both, but you cannot be responsible to the organization if you are not first responsible for the very people who comprise the organization.
10. Because I have reviewed enough of the gate debacle to believe the POA would lose a lawsuit to ISN, I would vote in favor of settling the lawsuit and allowing the project to be completed. We need to remain a gated community.
11. To me, this is priority one. Article IX needs to be clarified and then all supporting documents need to be altered to ensure control is returned to the Board. This is not negotiable.
12. This question goes back to the marketing issue. We simply are not targeting the proper demographics to increase rooftops or bring more golfers to our community. This amenity is either our largest asset or the largest liability.
13. There are few options available to open up the receipt of tax money. Those include taking down the gates. Are you sure you want to go down that path? This is not my decision. This is a property owner’s decision.

To those that want a statement that they would support the removal of the current CEO, that is not possible. There is a contract to contend with. Additionally, each board member has one vote, so the hook added by the previous board makes the task of removal nearly impossible. Obviously that was the intent. What we have is not working and I would support a change. That is one. Now go get me six others who would vote with me. I don’t believe Mr. Garrison does social media so I wouldn’t expect to hear from him. Some people are uncomfortable posting on a social platform so you may not hear from them either. Pretty sure you won’t hear from one of the candidates as their very involvement dictates where they stand in relation to most of the questions asked.

I will be at the Feb. 22 event and will be available via a breakout room to answer your questions. Additionally, I am available for other meet and greet opportunities to get to meet with and discuss the issues of the Village. I don’t sugar coat and attempt to answer every question placed before me.
