I have generally kept out of all the crap going on in this community,but things now seem to be getting way out of control ,from this manager the directors and this Kcnet business.
These lawsuits are going to cause monetary damage
This Kay c net,we have been pouring thousands into his business that we have no part in
This manager seems to be out of control on spending with no controls placed on her by the board.
Lot owners in here can no longer speak at meetings without heckling from others encouraged by the board,and if one gets past that ,then you face the onslaught from the manager and board members in the future.Many memebers. no longer even bother to attend meetings as they feel they are just wasting their time
Time I think has come for change in here to bring back this community to where it was 4 years ago,where the members made the decisions and the board acted on it.
Maybe its time to have these directors removed and have some good honest people supporting us.
As I listen to many complaints in here,the one thing that keeps coming up is to throw this board out, and replacing them in a 50%vote.I wonder how many would pledge their vote and go down this road.
I think maybe its the only way to go,for the good folk in here to get their community back

I think it goes without saying that, if I were going to vote (per consent of my attorney), I would pledge my vote to dismantle this "management" machine by throwing the current cabal of directors OUT!

It seems there are a lot more people in here than I thought that are unhappy with this board and manager
Hopefully we can bring together a plan where owners can pledge their votes and when called upon, can sign or vote to remove board members and go back to the S-bag that we all know.
I will start this up,to see how many want this change and are prepared to commit in getting things back to normal.
Let the good peope in this community, return it back to the people

Sadly, this issue of the "taking of S-bag" by outsiders and insiders existed back in Summer of 2011 and little has changed. Re-reading the September 2011 issue of the NewsHound highlights the reality that things are only getting worse 3 years later...

It seems that punitive measures rather than constructive solutions have been the M.O. of this manager and Board regarding S-bag residents. The condemnation and objectification of others is not a good management style. We all came here to retire in peace and harmony. Now, we are on a battlefield with one another. Waging WAR is not the answer. We should all be looking for WIN-WIN answers to our problems. Yes, that may even mean compromise at times. Given that, think about police traffic control. A law enforcement office could not just be single purposed for speeding. Seat belt enforcement, licensed and tagged vehicles on all streets would have to be enforced, etc. Crosswalks established. The list goes on and on. We need to go back to having workshops for dialog between residents and the Board on a regular scheduled format. We need to work TOGETHER. The Board should make its self more available to ALL not just to those who agree with them. Constructive, cohesive solutions need to be employed. Not the "knee jerk", "got you" enforcement that we are all being subjected to. And the use or threat of use of litigation is NOT the answer. Let's all be grown - ups here and respect each and every resident and move forward in a proud and civil manner. |

I have been requested by Brian Park to put an email link on this Board. The purpose of the email link is to give Guests the opportunity to email Brian directly with a "pledge" to commit their vote for removal of Board members. The email response will guide the preparation of the Recall Petition. If you agree that this current board is guiding SLR in the wrong direction and needs "fresh blood", you may send an email of support using the link below to pledge your vote. Your identity will be known ONLY to Brian. Click on the link: Time for ChangeThe email address is timeforchange45@yahoo.comWhen emailing, please give your name, stump # and phone for future contact when necessary. |

Regarding "recall of the board"--there is an important fact that needs to be cleared up.
When you are asked to recall the Board, you do not have recall the entire board. You can recall 1, 2, 3 ...or all 9 (or in this case, 8). The goal is to reconstitute the board with a new quorum who will make majority decisions to guide SLohA in a desired direction or, alternatively, to get rid of 1 or more rogue directors.
This means 5 members (since 5 is a majority). The need is to replace 5 incumbent directors with 5 new directors who agree, for instance, that the Management Company needs to be terminated. Or who agree, for instance, that all these lawsuits are likely to bankrupt SLR both financially amd morally. And so on. There are many board and management activities which, if continue unopposed, will have unpleasant consequences for owners in the not-too distant future.
As an aside, it matters LESS "who" the replacement directors are--It matter MOST that 5 people agree, as a quorum, to accomplish a critical goal. As some have observed, new directors can't be any worse than the current ones!
On an effective Recall Petition, the directors replacing the incumbents must be named. Effective recall petitions will have a lawyer hovering in the background to assure that all statutory requirements are met. This part has already been arranged, if and when Members decide to go ahead with the recall. Such a serious undertaking cannot be accomplished by "amateurs" and the BOD has ALL the resources (i.e all the money and attorneys) to bring to the table for a successful petition cH allenge. Members MUST have the expert assistance of an Association lawyer.
There is a complete treatment of the RECALL procedure posted on this forum >>Florida Homeowner Association Statute>>720.303(10) Recall of Directors<<<but I wanted to address this because I heard this from 2 people today.

And here is the next tidbit of info that is relevant to TIMING: The Division that arbitrates these recalls has placed a "blackout" time during which they will accept NO petitions. This blackout is 60 days BEFORE a scheduled election and 60 days AFTER an election.
This blackout only affects that directors who are seeking election (or re-election) AND are being recalled if incumbents. Simply, Florida is protecting directors newly-elected from being removed for 60 days before or after an election and imposing a "cooling off" period of sorts.
This does not affect incumbent directors who are not eligible for a second term i.e. still working off their term. That means a Recall Petition would necessarily seek to recall only those directors who were not seeking or eligible to run for re-election. The incumbents can be recalled without this limitation.
BOTTOM LINE: If a director is NOT involved in the next scheduled election, they can be recalled without any time limitation.
Here is the section of the law FS720.303(10)(l):
I know...reading this makes your head hurt!
