Removal of Directors and Election of interim Directors


Removal of Directors and Election of interim Directors
The Issue
There have been recent actions taken by use of a majority vote of the Board to remove me from the role of President. This impacts you because your votes elected these directors and I believe they are not fit for their offices or serving the community interests. This is due to multiple observations I have which are documented and can be verified. There have also been other actions taken by the board to minimize my role due to my desire to exercise the bylaws and have open/special meetings and to communicate repeated and pervasive issues involving our vendors, as well as their conduct and recent actions. These actions can also be verified. Therefore, I would like for a special meeting to be held to remove Gary Silverman and Gloria Polard from the Board of Directors.
I was removed by the board members from my role, because in their opinion I acted as if I was "allowed complete and total power". This is a false narrative that has been building for quite some time and I will let them explain their reasoning. I have asked for examples but still have not gotten a response. In my opinion, they have been abusing their power as Directors by using their majority vote to pass motions in their favor and personal interests. You deserve to know facts, so here's a sample of the dozens of documented issues I have encountered and wish to address but have now been subsequently punished for as a result of me voicing concerns:
- In December, Fieldstone signed off on a contract with Greenwood that is approx. $4000/yr higher than what the board agreed to, after catching in March, I notified both vendors, after multiple request to both vendors to correct, it has still not been rectified.
- Early this year, a member of your board put themself on a payment plan then subsequently voted for a motion 2/1 with another director to allow members pool usage while on a payment plans. No director is allowed to be more than 30 days past due per our bylaws. As of last reported financials, they were still past due.
- In May, After a disagreement on the payment plan vote, I proposed a community meeting to get community feedback. The directors objected to which I motioned for a special meeting to force a meeting. The next day, the directors scheduled a meeting with the HOA attorney to dispute the claim and discuss "director duties" in an attempt to block me from having a special meeting. The attorney did not dispute my ability to hold these meetings as that is clearly stated in our bylaws. This meeting was paid for by Oakhurst.
- A member of the board has been voting to keep Greenwood regardless of the multiple homeowner complaints, documented issues, and reports I have provided the board almost weekly. This director uses them personally and in the past has voiced that they are fine with the service and their monthly payment. In my opinion, this is a conflict of interest.
- Both directors made and passed a motion to cutoff any direct contact from me to Greenwood.
- A board member proposed a motion that I not be reimbursed for expenses I incurred paying a vendor for a sprinkler repair at the front entrance and that it be considered a "gift to Oakhurst"
These are just a few examples but are far from the only ones.
Please join me in a special meeting to discuss the issues and keep Oakhurst transparent.
Please DO NOT Donate if we site asks to make a donation or promote as this campaign is strictly for Oakhurst.
