Hello All, The statement below is from Chugs Current Issues from Bb Stailb on 1/16/2015. These are 2/3 paragraphs taken from his long history update, on the Birth of Kay c-Ntwerk. The rest is history !
"Quote 1/16/2015 by Mr. Bb stab:
"On May 31, 2009 Lake Wireless went out of business and many Saddlebaggers came to me and in effect said "you used to own a computer company can you help us" I agreed to help them try to find a new internet supplier. A group of Volunteers, Bb Trmb, D Brnd, Kn Lws, myself, and others helped by taking perspective suppliers on a tour of the Resort to show them what was needed. Everyone except Bright House said that there was nothing possible in the next 20 years. Bright House said they thought they could arrange to wire S-bag (during the next year) but that it would take a $1.3 million payment from S-bag and at least 500 signed subscribers for internet and TV service for 12 months a year at $84/mo. Since this was impossible I turned my attention to giving weekly Monday Morning status reports at Koffee Klatch and these were posted on the website so people "up north" would know what was happening before they came back in the fall. By late June, time was running out and I had been told by several Board Members that there was no way that the HOA was going to be able to fund such an endeavor.
My wife and my father both noticed a dramatic improvement in my health during the time that I had been working on this project and both suggested that I may be uniquely qualified to give Saddlebaggers something they badly needed. I ultimately told several Board Members that if I had a written commitment from every Board Member that they woul;d vote to approve a project where I agreed to provide all of the money needed to build any new towers that were needed and to clean up the old towers and install new modern radios, that I would agree to do so. I specifically said that "I don't ever want to be accused of running a business in the Resort and I need to be sure that the Board has the authority to Grnt my request.
I received emails from every Board Member agreeing to my request." **************************************************************** ****************************************************************
The Rest is History !

I'm really having trouble believing the historical facts St aib put forth. First of all, why would it cost $1.3 million for Brighthouse to hook up S-bag? The only way I could envision it being that expensive is if Brighthouse was talking about hardwiring the entire complex with fiber optic cable (hence the estimate of $84/month/ per customer for what likely included a "bundled" phone/cable TV/high speed internet package). If so, we missed a golden opportunity when the roads were being resurfaced a couple of years ago. We could have laid our own fiber optic. Several cities are in the process of doing that (Chattanooga, Tenn. being the most notable example). It is very cost effective to do so while the municipality is doing routine street reconstruction or underground utility work. Once completed, the municipality not only has the ability to conduct secure communications between its various offices (city H all, police precincts, public works yards) but it can also "rent" use of the cable to the local phone company, cable TV company, etc.. In fact, these experiments have worked so well that local internet service providers are lobbying Congress to pass legislation prohibiting local governments from getting into the broadband business. Secondly, after talking to several of my "geek" friends, including some who own businesses that set up LAN's for institutions and large businesses, the type of technology KCNet uses (radio/microwave signal instead of fiber optic) has a very low capitalization cost. It doesn't require the deep pockets of a phone company or cable TV company to set up. A sm all entrepreneur could set up a system like KCNet's for less than $100,000. That's why I keep asking how the BOD went about inviting proposals for internet service. If they only contacted the phone companies and cable TV companies, they didn't do a very good job of trying to find the best deal for our community. But, of course, why would they, considering the close personal relationship between some BOD members and Bb St aib? Like the municipalities who are installing their own fiber optic lines in city streets, I'm actually OK with the idea of S-bag erecting its own communication towers in the common areas (provided they take out the appropriate building permit). As such, we can now invite proposals from potential internet providers with the understanding that we will "lease" space on our towers in return for a deep discount on the cost of internet service to S-bag residents (like KCNet, the internet provider would also have the opportunity to use our towers to serve customers outside of S-bag - a potentially significant "sweetener" for any bidder because it results in a better economy-of-scale). As I have said before, I bear no ill will towards Bb and Virginia. Virginia is a sweet lady and I'll share a beer with Bb anytime. But - as the Mafia guys are fond of saying "This is not personal. It's just business".

The Board stated in a Record Request they did not have any e-mails or paper work between SLohA & Bb Stailb. If what Bb Stailb stated above is true, about the Deal the BODs all Approved. We have been lied to and deceived for a long time.
Yet, what baffles me is that many residents in S-bag believe, we have the best and most hard working Board in Saddlebags recent history. Will they ever except the truth?

Bb stab posted:
So...where's the beef? THREE separate Official Records Requests have been submitted since 2011 asking comprehensively for any and all records of agreements/contracts of whatever form that evidences business association between SLohA and KCNetwork. Each Official Records Request has been returned with a notation that "THERE IS NO RECORD".
What about the nine letters from the board agreeing to Mr stab's proposal as he states above?
These email letters could not have been written on behalf of SLohA without a motion at a board meeting and a recorded vote documented in the business Minutes. Mr. stab is well aware how the system works; he knows the directors do not have authority to act on their own behind closed doors without notification, disclosure and informed,written consent of members. If he is trying to make anyone believe that the Board --as a group of nine owners --has the authority to Grnt his request without a proposal presented to the Members at a properly-noticed Board meeting, he is not credible.
If Mr. stab has his proposal--and these nine letters-- then he should bring them forward. If he does, then all three Official Records Requests have been responded to with lies. If he doesn't (and why would'nt he--they are emails and can never be "lost"), then they have to be part of the SLohA Official Record and should have been disclosed on the several Records Requests... and the owners have been lied to.
Who is lying? Or maybe, who is NOT lying?

Weren't requests made for records that would have indicated who the true owner(s) is/are of these horrible looking towers littering our common areas? Since these towers were never indicated on SLohA's assets list, then, therefore, how is it that it has been said that SLohA owns these towers?
How can the board all of a sudden say these towers are assets belonging to SLohA, and further, how can they therefore, also put SLohA on as the party requesting permits for same?

Hayvn't you notice, The Board does what they want, if you do not like it, they will tell "S u e Us" or maybe you should move. They simply do not care about what you think.. Just look at the Board of Directors track record over the past few years. They will tell you this is for the good of the community, but they are very deceiving, and tell only half truths. I ask pointed question at Meetings and they will tell you to sit down, it is not on the Agenda. They even stop having Work-Shops, because they were looking like fools and being embarrassed. Now they hide behind closed doors. People need to listen to what they say, and then see what they do... S-bag Lake Resort is the perfect storm.....

Yes THREE Official Requests were made dating back to 2011. BOD replied 'No Records'

Internet Bb says so. When an Official Records Request was made for "the proof", BOD replied 'No Records'
How can the board all of a sudden say these towers are assets belonging to SLohA, and further, how can they therefore, also put SLohA on as the party requesting permits for same?
This question was discussed with Erik Pet erson, Case Manager for the Polk County Land Commission. The answer, in my opinion, is inadequate and sloppy. Bb stab represents KCNetwork as "SLohA Kay c Ntwerk" thus giving the impression that there is a formal association between his company and SLohA. In fact, Polk County does not validate the identity of the Applicant(s) and is receptive to streamlining applications with "related applicants bundled on a single application".

www.iasb.uscourts.gov/iasb_ftp/decisions/h00359.pdf Thank you Dick Tracy for the SHOCKING information on Bb stab. How can we as a community go into partnership with a Federal criminal? We could easily loose all of our reserves and all of our property values would plummet.

Our Board over the past few years has allowed KCNet (Owner Virinia stab)to operate a Commercial Internet Provider Business in Robber & Virginia stabs residents. It was against all of SLohA Rules & Regulations, but Our Leaders did not do their Duty as Elected Officials to enforce SLohA Rules & Regulations. Our BODs have Failed Us. Now we are entwined with KCNet and a convicted Federal Felon, Register-#08011-029.
This all happen without "One Resident/Owner Having Any Say In This Decision Making". That my friend is a crying shame. We were Coned by a Con Artist and a Majority of Past & Present Board Members. The Members of SLohA will be paying the Price for our Board Members Closed Door Policy for Years to Come. You Got in Bed With a Artist! 16RC

I had read somewhere about the "arrangement" between KCNET and the BOD regarding the towers erected on SLohA property. According to what I read, KCNET "gave" the towers to SLohA but with the proviso that the towers were for KCNET's exclusive use. Let me point out how ludicrous that arrangement is by citing an analogy. Suppose I offered you a deal whereby I "gave" you a new car. You will be responsible for titling it. insuring it and paying for all maintenance & repairs. However, no one will be allowed to drive the car except me. I can only come up with two explanations as to why the BOD entered into such an arrangement: 1) They are incredibly incompetent; or 2) Well, I'll leave that to the imagination of the readers.
