We are now being pushed to install an electric gate for the Park. An interesting way to get control over the King’s backyard. He tells us he will have the power to bar anyone from using it electrically if he decides. So not only will your picture be taken while you access the park but then you will be monitored and moderated too.
.
What is most interesting is how all this came about – that is the problems with the Friends, the Proxies, the Board, all come from an electric gate for the Park proposal from years past.
.
In the old days we used to have meetings, even held annual meetings, in folks homes. We had to move to the Water District (neutral grounds) when one of the home owners became so vial that no one wanted him in their home.
.
At an annual meeting in the then President Zbasnik’s house, Dick Thompson offered up a plan for an electric gate that had been floated in the community. He did a nice presentation and as an engineer he did the details.
.
It was voted down; not a popular idea.
.
Dick took it personally and thus fired up the rage smoldering in him, all that you see today is the revenge for that vote.
.
And again we are being pushed for an electric gate.
.
This time your agreement is not needed.
.
Why? Simple.
.
A year and a half ago Dick’s #1 Stooge, the president, set in motion the resignation of 5 Board members over his belief that the rules covering his office let him do anything in the name of the community.
.
Now he does the King’s bidding and the King wants to avoid the potential embarrassment of a second failure to get the votes for the gate. So all he has to do is direct the president to sign off on it and it’s done. Once the work on the gate is contracted, then between the King and the Friends they can pressure the rest of the Board members to go along because of the obligations of the signed contracts to do the work.
.
Thus you will get an electric gate regardless of what you want.
.
This has a second advantage for the King.
.
This will take your mind off the Proxy issue that will affect the next election in May.
.
Simple math here if you understand the variables.
