[Nhhoa] Behavior

[Ty Hudson]

Enough is enough... for a board member to call out people individually in a public forum has gone way beyond the lines of decency and reason.  This email system has done nothing but tear down the small amount of communication and interest that there was.   

I am removing myself from this mess and the email trail that it has become.  If my neighbors want to communicate with me, you know where I live...

I hate to spend my personal time addressing 
yet another situation but I am absolutely tired of being 
attacked.  Constructive criticism is one thing; complaining, 
bickering, and attacking is another.
For over a week,  Alan Isdell tirelessly 
installed the new swingset at the playground.  Do you know what that 
means?  He took his personal time away from his child so that your 
child(ren) would have a safe, and improved, playset.  He and my 
husband were down there early yesterday finishing up and putting down mulch for 
your enjoyment at the Easter Egg Hunt.  Alan installed it to save the HOA 
budget the $700 Home Depot would have charged for 
installation.  
Surely everyone saw it going up, since it wasn't an 
overnight project, so did anyone call and offer to help?  Brandon 
Harris was the only person that actually stopped by and helped Alan out.  
Thanks to Brandon and shame on the rest of you.  But even worse, I 
didn't hear one "thanks" yesterday.  Wow, that really motivates you to work 
harder.  The members of this Board spend more personal time making repairs 
to save money on labor charges than you'll ever know. Their families sacrifice 
because their time could be spent with their family and their own home 
improvement projects. 
 
Here's the bigger issue. While the Rago's and 
Lechwold's (Harbor Lane) children were enjoying the new playset, commentary 
between them included that "the Board was sanctimonious and on a 
powertrip with the proposed covenants".  One of them also said that 
"the Board members were the biggest offenders of the 
documents".  Every Board member, and Committee Chair, have full-time 
jobs with tremendous responsibilities for personnel and P& L.  We all 
have enough to keep up with in our own lives; we don't need Board positions to 
feel good about ourselves.  We do this because we're committed to the 
neighborhood.  But that commitment is being tested.
Let me remind them, and everyone, that we are not 
in high school anymore.  Overhearing this crap yesterday reminded me 
of the petty behavior that occurs among high school halls.  This type 
of behavior is the core at the toxicity that continues to trickle through 
the neighborhood; not a disagreement of the covenants content 
itself.  
Such behavior is rude, disrespectful, 
negative, and (really) pretty cowardly.  It's cowardly because most of the 
Board were in attendance so why couldn't they come over and say "Hey, we're 
concerned that you're offending the rules and that you're on a power trip." 
Maybe it would have led to some clarifying conversation. Instead, you attack us 
literally right behind our backs.  I only hope you teach your 
children better manners that what you displayed yesterday.  I'm 
so tired of defending and explaining but if you're going to attack something 
that I'm a part of behind my back, I have the right to bring such behavior into 
the light of day.  Have the courage to constructively approach the Board if 
you have issues & quit the petty back-stabbing. It's in bad taste and it 
certainly isn't a good example to others, nor or children. 
So, it's obvious to me that the Rago's and 
Lechwold's think they can do a better job with the proposed documents.  The 
voting was extended until May 1, 2009 and we urge you to vote, regardless 
of how you vote.
 Mr. & Mrs Rago/Mr. & Mrs. 
Lechwold:  if the vote doesn't go one way or the other, it's best to 
continue to work on them for approval.  Since you have better ways to do 
such, you can take the project over on May 2nd.
I'll have all of the documentation ready 
to go, along with how to contact our HOA attorney, so please contact me, 
via email, to arrange a time to pick them up.  
Mr. Rago, you suggested we have a BBQ at the pool opening.  We think 
that's a great idea so will you attend the next Board meeting (2nd Tuesday at 
7:00) and take the lead on the event?  The HOA budget could pay for the 
meat and the neighbors could bring sides.  Scott Smith's Board had one and 
I heard positive things about it..
