Why in the world the subject of a P.O. vote regarding opinion of incorporation would come up during a report on strategic planning is beyond me when the exact subject was further down the agenda with a twenty minute time set-aside for discussion. Had the board been given input before the vote was taken I believe the downside to the idea would have been obvious. That did not happen. I believe this is called blindsiding.
The action was eight days after the circuit court threw out the request and until that time strategic planning was doing just fine with their mission. Suddenly that all changed and the P.O. opinion was absolutely necessary. Does that strike anyone else as strange? Years of work without it but a sudden stop of progression eight days after the court ruling. Hmmmm. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark as Marcellas says to Horatio in Hamlet.
Not being able to proceed with strategic planning is analogous to saying we can not produce a budget for the same reason. It is ridiculous. Strategic planning has been proceeding for years. I can think of nothing I have heard from that group since the beginning but now it is a sudden emergency. I would like to see some sort of documentation detailing what they are trying to accomplish in the first place. All facets of our association are proceeding without this group including roads, lake projects, you name it. Possibly it is time to disband the group since it has no discernable purpose and seems unable to function in the current environment.
If this is the way it is to be played, let’s have at it. No holds barred. Let’s see how the property owners feel about these kind of shenanigans.
I will end this post with the definition of a phrase you will want to consider.
From ENCARTA……
hidden agenda undisclosed motive or objective: a plan, motive, or objective underlying somebody's actions that is kept secret from others
