Petition Against HOA - Have You Signed This?

Today someone dropped by my house and asked Gina to sign this petition. Here's what it said:

"Petition Against Brunswick Meadows HOA Board of Directors

Re: $60,000 Community Fencing Repair

We, the homeowners in the Brunswick Meadows Subdivision, oppose and request substantiation of the $60,000 repair estimate referenced in your November 15, 2008 letter to each of us, and enjoin you from continuing forward with said repairs, for the following reasons:
  1. We had no notice of any repair estimate by any certified and/or bonded fencing company.
  2. Several inquiries made by various homeowners to ACMI employees have resulted in inconsistent responses as to which fences are included in this $60,000 repair estimate.
  3. There was no notice to the homeowners of any special meeting of the Board of Directors to discuss the topic of fencing repair; thereby not allowing any homeowners the ability to sit in on said meeting and be involved in any discussion of same.
  4. Proper documentation has not been proffered to the homeowners; i.e., repair estimates with specific supply/labor amounts broken out.
  5. There is no evidence that the Board of Directors followed proper procedure in obtaining three bids from certified/bonded/qualified bidders to do the fence repair supposedly totaling $60,000.
If the proper procedures are not followed in procuring a contractor to provide fencing repair, we the homeowners, will be forced to hire an attorney to represent us in this matter against the Board of Directors, jointly and severally."

Anyone know who started this petition?

  1. Not sure. Joel and I must not have been home and have not been asked to sign a petition.

  2. I had the opportunity to meet the two men (Dave and not sure about the other name) who started this petition. These residents lives in the section where we do not have any representation. I have invited to join us and gave them my e-mail address but haven't heard anything. I briefly explain to them bids were obtain and explain other concerns. I'm hoping they will e-mail me soon especially since repairs have begun.
