As those of you know who read the Part II transcription of the Jan 7th BOD meeting, our Prez, proudly made a shocking admission of unlawful actions on behalf of the entire board against an owner. That owner has responded and asked that I post the letter that they wrote back to KL and the entire board and management company on this forum. Readers can draw their own conclusions, but the pattern of well-documented harassment, public bullying and unlawful retaliatory acts is undeniable. It is a lengthy read, but MANBOD's behavior goes back over a year.
If there is any denial or equivocation by KL or MANBOD that the statement was NOT made or that it did not refer to the writers of this letter, I'll have no other choice but to post the audio clip to this post so people can hear for themselves and come to their own conclusion.

ATTENTION: PRESIDENT K L , S.L.O.A. BOARD OF DIRECTORS
I would like to address a very serious statement of admission of an unlawful act made by you, K L, during your board meeting on January 7th, 2014, in which you publicly admit to stalking/harassing an owner while out walking at night. That owner was me. The proof of your statement is in the form of a digital audio recording of that entire meeting from which I have the word-for-word excerpt of your statement:
“I don’t think it would be a problem for the company to write a contract and we don’t have a contract by the way, there is no contract. In business it’s one of those things and it’s probably not a good idea but most of us or all of us have a relationship with neighbors and maybe we could draw a contract and that’s a possibility. But I guarantee you there are people that will say (raises voice and mocks): We don’t need no stinking security, they are probably the same ones we caught in the past for doing things you aren’t supposed to be doing. Those are the ones you hear screaming that they are harassing me out at night when I’m walking…yes, you are darned right we are.”
Your off-topic ranting in which you divulged an admission of unlawful harassing and stalking was something I bet you thought would never come back to haunt you.
So, you finally have admitted that you are harassing an owner—me--and this is direct proof of your admission of having done so and direct proof of having admitted that you broke the law, and since it was said in front of dozens of witnesses and has been digitally recorded, YOU CANNOT CLAIM YOU DID NOT SAY THIS.
Another direct admission of the board of directors knowing they are the ones stalking and harassing me at night is when a Board Member said the following: “Why should we stop following her? Why should we stop harassing her?” This conversation about me took place sometime in the spring of 2013.
I would really love to hear you tell me what it is that you say I was caught doing, since once again, I need to point out to you that all I have ever done while out walking at night is just that—I am only out walking my dog, and picking up my dog’s droppings, I might add, and that is it. I have never “been caught” doing anything because I’ve DONE NOTHING WRONG and NO contact had ever been made to me, at any time, from any authority figure representing the “security force.”
I am a law abiding citizen in this community, state and country and so is my husband, and neither I nor my husband have ever broken any laws or committed any crimes, anywhere, at any time, nor have either one of us been accused of any type of criminal activity, and for you to publicly slander and accuse me/us in front of the community further shows you are uninformed and totally misguided in your unlawful actions and accusations against me and my husband.
I would also advise you, that you, K L, have caused us, James & Carol Grnt to move to take Legal action against you for your unfounded, accusatory and slanderous statements, as well as your involvement by your admission of stalking and harassing by you and others, (by use of the word “we”.)
I know you are speaking about me since I am the only one in this community who has previously notified PCSD to have them come out to take my statements due to the aggressive nature of what the board collectively feels are illegal activities committed, and therefore felt justified to stalk and harass me while I am ONLY out walking my dog at night.
Also be advised, that you are NOT covered by the Indemnification clause afforded to Board Members for Criminal Acts.
You need to explain your statements pointed at me since I have done nothing wrong in this community—something I cannot say about you since you not only admitted in the 1/7/14 board meeting to unlawfully harassing me at night while I am merely out walking my dog, but, you have incited this community to vigilantism by your statement in the March, 2013 edition of the S-bag Express, VOL. 32, No. 6., in your president’s report, which I quote:
“On the other extreme we seem to have a few people that if not bent on destroying S-bag, they at least apparently enjoy doing damage and costing all residents money for repairs. Then there are those few that feel our rules and regulations do not apply to them. Thankfully these last two groups are in the minority and I encourage the large majority of owners and residents to support the efforts of our Management Company and Board of Directors to address these issues.”
You, K L are using your position as Board President to coerce this community to take up for your personal vendetta against a resident or residents in this community to whom you have never personally spoken with as President of the Board of Directors and have failed to make ANY attempts whatsoever to contact us by verbal and/or written communication.
At one point, board member D B stated to my husband “Why would I want to talk to you?” This was when my husband tried to communicate with D B about what his complaint is with us. We have this conversation recorded on DVD-R if you would care to view it.
My husband and I took your above statements as immanent threats to our personal safety and we have contacted PCSD regarding your above statements which will be added to the file already created with the Sheriff’s Department. I assure you that these recent statements by you at the 1/7/14 board meeting, a copy of your recorded admissions and this letter are going to be hand delivered to PCSD and added to that case file.
Your accusation, seemingly lobbed at us, (myself and my husband, James,) is totally baseless and without any merit whatsoever. There exists NO proof whatsoever that we have broken any laws in this community. We have ONLY told the truth and we have had to stand up for our rights in this community when we were the ones that were wronged when our property was vandalized and destroyed in retaliation for telling the truth.
To refresh your memory, I need to remind you that in addition to me being stalked and harassed at night, and ran off the road by the “security force,” that our motor home was maliciously and childishly vandalized in the storage lot and the only damage done was to OUR property—no one else’s property was vandalized, and this vandalism was done in retaliation for me telling the truth, specifically the letter to BOD of my eyewitness account of the brutal attack of a resident’s dog by J C’s large and vicious dog, resulting in a legal settlement against SLohA and an insurance coverage policy exclusion.
By the way, the storage lot camera that you claimed can pick up any vandalism being done in the storage lot, was conveniently not working at the time our motor home was vandalized due to no software—that was the reason told to us directly in a phone conversation with Mr. B S.
I must also remind you of another unlawful incident perpetrated against me by one of the “security force”. I was run off the road by B Elkins in the security van when I was having an asthma attack and was trying to get home to my inhaler—I was having a medical emergency. I related this in response to the manager’s letter to me dated July 18, 2012 in my return letter to her dated July 30, 2012. Additionally, this near-miss traffic episode and dangerously aggressive encounter—a vehicular assault—was confirmed by a written, independent eyewitness account (another owner) and provided to PCSD for the case file. Mr. Elkins later admitted to my husband that he did, in fact drive into my lane to try to get me to stop; Mr. Elkins also told my husband: “That is what I was instructed to do”—instructed by whom is what I’d like to know, as this was not only a highly dangerous maneuver on the part of Mr. Elkins, but an illegal one as well. He does NOT have the authority to do any such type of maneuver, only the police and/or Sheriff’s department deputies have the authority and training to conduct such types of dangerous traffic stops—our security does not!
I also need to inform you of the fact that I have certain medical conditions; (heart, asthma) and physical disabilities, (severe CTS and back/neck problems) and I am over 55 years of age which allows me rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act. This act states that it is a violation of Federal Law to commit crimes against Americans with disabilities. I know I do NOT have to divulge this personal, medical information to you, but I feel I must so that you are aware of the seriousness of your actions and statements against me.
In closing, you need to answer to the egregious, accusatory statements and dangerous, aggressive traffic maneuver by security and stalking and harassment behaviors directed at me. Why am I being singled out and blamed for whatever it is YOU THINK I may have done? You also need to provide proof that I did whatever it is that you are accusing me of. Last I checked, it is NOT against the law in any way, shape or form for a resident in this community to merely walk their dog at night.
Untrue public accusations of wrongdoing--stalking and harassing me--running me off of the road--and vandalizing property—these acts ARE against the law!
Last, but not least, I have detailed statements with dates and times of ALL unlawful incidents that have been perpetrated against us and our property in this community and I urge you to proceed with the utmost in caution in this and any other matters involving us, since this has been taken to a personal level by you and your fellow board members, and it is clear you chose to involve the rest of the community in your vendetta.
