Autocycle War Instead of Online Voting

Leave a reply


Indian Hammock is now a thriving Residential Community with many Full-Time Residents.
 
I rode motorcycles for some 55 years and gave up before moving to Indian Hammock.

I applauded the A Team 2024 BOD for their work, as presented in the current Book of Rules Chapter 6. Driving Privilege (I still object to driving in IH being considered a “Privilege“)

I am too old to ride a two-wheel motorcycle, but I am considering an Autocycle, a Slingshot, which is currently allowed in Indian Hammock.

The B Team 2025 BOD seems ready to ignite a new war, the Autocycle War.
They are trying to amend Rule 6.4 Prohibited Vehicles to ban Autocycles like the SlingShot.

The B Team received repeated requests to put Online Voting on the BOD agenda.
Most members want Online Voting; see the last membership meeting numbers.

The B Team BOD is bent over dismantling the good work the A Team has done.
They devote their time and efforts to an Autocycle War and procrastinate on Online Voting. The B Team BOD doesn’t give a hoot about what the members want, the Online Voting.

Why does the B Team not expedite Online Voting? This is a breach of  BOD Fiduciary Duties, and I challenge members to explain where I am wrong in pointing this out.

And to those who still don’t know what an Autocycle is, please check out my favorite, the Slingshot. Two wheels in the front and a steering wheel, not a handlebar, require a regular driver’s license; no motorcycle endorsement is needed. It can not be driven on a dirt trail without being destroyed.

The 2024 Board Members who gave IH the Quail Barn and were placed on IH’s “Bad Boys” list.

David Bass.
Articulate professional David Bass led the IH BODs in 2023 and 2024.
The best president and BODs I have experienced in IH.   

Joe Coyle.
Master of valuable technologies, a great asset to IH.
Until his retirement, Joe held high executive positions in various corporations that appreciated his skills and contribution.
Joe served on several previous BODs under different Presidents, bringing IH to the “Internet age.”

Corey Miller.
The cool-headed, devoted Indian Hammock ex-Treasurer was probably the longest-serving BOD member.
Corey was a candidate for the 2025 BOD. Corey got elected but immediately gave up his seat.

Matt Rector.
Business Owner who served on many of the BODs and has experience as a board member.
Matt contributes a lot to IH, especially to the hunting community.

Tim Ward.

The Quail Barn War.

The Indian Hammock 2024 Board of Directors voted and approved the construction of a Quail Barn on the club’s common ground.
Quail Hunters will finance the project entirely, and Indian Hammock will incur no costs.

Six of the seven board members attended the Board Meeting on May 19, 2024.
Four members voted YES, approving the Quail Barn (A Team), while two voted NO, disapproving it (B Team).

The Quail Barn was built, and a “quail barn war” started in Indian Hammock.

The B Team and its supporters launched a campaign to win the upcoming election and divided the candidates for the 2025 board into two lists.
The “Bad Boys” – not to vote for.         
Any candidate B Team believes supports the Quail Barn. 
The “Good Boys” – to vote for.               
Any candidate that was not on the “Bad Boy” list.

The B Team and its supporters emerged victorious.
The 2025 Board has no members listed on the “Bad Boy” list. Instead, it consists solely of members from the “Good Boys” list.
The B Team controls the new 2025 Board.

During the February 15th Hunting Committee Meeting, the two members of the B Team made strong statements when challenged by members from the floor.

I remember these two statements.
*  Barbara Roberts – The current Board can do whatever it decides.
*  Carla Sapp – You can sue us; we are insured.

I can only hope that the B Team will chill out and realise the slippery slope they are on.

The two members of the B Team and their supporters are upset that the four members of the A Team did not hold a membership meeting to vote on and approve the Quail Barn by a regular majority.

The B Team and its supporters argue that the A Team did not uphold the spirit and tradition of Indian Hammock when approving the Quail Barn.
They might be right, or they might be wrong; it no longer matters.
The election is over, and the B Team and its supporters can relish the glory of victory. Now, we must focus on what is best for Indian Hammock.

The B Team does not assert that the A Team breached the club documents; anyone pursuing this case in court can not succeed on this point.

A board of directors lasts only twelve months, yet its decisions and actions bind the club. Consequently, the club legally approves the Quail Barn.

Any call to re-approve what has already been approved does not make sense and only raises questions about what the B Team is after.

The 2025 Board called for a special members’ meeting, but then someone from the office emailed to advise that it had been canceled.

* The language of the email notice to members regarding the March 2025 Special Members Meeting is lacking.
* The single motion for the March 2025 Special Members Meeting is unclear.
* The wording of the email notice about canceling the March 2025 Members Meeting raises concerns.
* The reasons given for the cancellation make no sense.

I encourage members to request that the B Team be transparent with the club members and end this divisive and dangerous agenda.
