Administrator's Note: Sally Muto just released her latest open letter to the GLA Board. Nothing gets past her!
Her letter follows:
Dear Board Members Charlotte and Charlene, and the rest of you on the Board,
Yes, I know, here she goes again. I'm really disturbed, as a lot of people will attest to, but this really has to stop!
Ladies, Charlotte and Charlene, you've really done it now! You two are acting like you are the final arbiter in all things Association!! You two are obviously thinking you know all and your decisions are final. EXAMPLE: The two of you rammed the Buchanan Project through and now look what its lead to?
You both went against the Covenants and Master Plan, plus the recommendations of the Project Review Committee co-chairs, of which I was part of. Who gives you the right to do this?? What a mess you two have created!! Why in heavens name do we have covenants if you don't or won't follow them or at the very least the recommendations from the committee chairs??
You two are giving us women a bad name. Your bossy ways should be a thing of the past! Your making us women look bad. Obviously you have not served on other boards or you would know you can't just change the rules as you go along, especially after votes are taken and recommendations are made. You DO NOT push for votes on issues that need more information and clarity.
Charlotte, strong arming people works when you work in government but it doesn't work in the private sector.
You have put Gerald and Kevin, along with the other committee members, in a bad situation and I can only see you both making it worse. I have personally watched your tag team voting without full information on subjects only to be corrected by landowners and other Board members. Then have to walk it back time and again. You seem to listen to Dan but no one else. Then you never apologize, Charlotte, to the rest of the board or landowners. Show some grace when your wrong.
None of us knows everything, but it's the "attitude" that is the difference. In the private sector the Board's attitude would not be tolerated. It starts at the top. I have heard Charlene apologize and you, Charlotte, should learn to follow her lead in this for it shows humility but not necessarily change in modus operandi though.
You were elected to "serve" the landowners and "enforce" our covenants. I hope "hot flashes" are not the reason for your "take charge" attitudes. I'd like to see both of you lead by example, reasoned thought not by "feelings" or "emotion!". It's called Board NOT Broad.
Come on Ladies pull your knickers up and stop over riding everyone when your given advice because you "feel" a certain way about an issue. Your intimidating and bulling the men. I can see the tire tracks all over them. And smiling sweetly doesn't cut it either.
Why do the other Directors put up with this? Come on people!! Your all equal in this process so don't let these ladies put you in a difficult position that you know to be wrong. Your not elected to just sit there and vote to go along to get along!! If that's why your on the Board then I say "get along off the Board" and allow someone with critical thinking to take your place. If there is a decision to be made check the covenants then vote.
Buchanan should be stopped in his tracks and held accountable to the covenants and sub-division rules NOT feelings. If he complies THEN approve, but if not, do not approve the application.
Stop blaming others for your mistakes Charlotte and Charlene, FIX the problem you created by that vote you rammed through. Fix it ACCORDING to the Covenants and Master Plan!
We wouldn't be stuck with the tower house if our covenants were followed. Haven't you people learned that lesson yet?? Don't follow the path that the yahoo's before you paved, all you have to do is look up at that monstrosity to see their ignorance of Board procedure.
With all that said I'll still protect y'all,
Sally M
