🐷Lipstick, Lies, and Failed Bylaws: Inverrary Fights Back!

By -
Image
Last night, the Hills of Inverrary Condos held a special members meeting to finish what October 14th couldn’t—because, let’s be honest, quorum math is harder than Sudoku. After weeks of extensions, arm-twisting, and lawyerly “pretty please” emails, the votes are finally in. And guess what? The community spoke loud and clear. 🚚 The Lone Survivor: The “Truck” Amendment Yes, the truck amendment squeaked through. So, if you’ve got a pickup, congratulations—you’re the only winner in the board’s amendment sweepstakes. ❌ The Big Losers: Board Power Grabs Two-Year Terms? FAILED. The board’s dream of doubling their stay in power crashed harder than a bad karaoke night. One-year terms remain the law of the land. Democracy: 1, Board: 0. Risky “Investment” Amendment? FAILED. No casino-style gambling with community funds. Your money stays safe from “Wall Street wannabe” experiments. 🎉 Why This Is a Win Accountability stays tight. One-year terms mean the board answers to the people every year. Fin...

✍️ Hills of Inverrary Blog Update & Records Request Template

By -
Hello Neighbors, I know it’s been a little while since my last post — I’ve been busy with consulting projects and watching football games, but I wanted to take a moment to update everyone. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been receiving requests from residents who want to obtain official documents from the Hills of Inverrary Association. To make this easier for everyone, I’ve prepared a template letter based on Florida Statute 718, which governs condominium associations. Under this statute, unit owners have the legal right to inspect and copy official records of the association. 📑 Best Practices for Requesting Documents Email the letter to the Association office for speed. Send a certified copy with return receipt to ensure proof of delivery. Keep a copy of your request for your records. 📜 Template Letter (Florida Statute 718 Request - Cut & Paste) [Your Name]   [Your Address]   [City, State, ZIP]   [Email Address]   [Phone Number]   ...

🚨 Grass for Me, But Not for Thee: Hills of Inverrary’s Parking Hypocrisy in Full Bloom

By -
Image
It seems the Hills of Inverrary Condo Association Board has adopted a new motto: Rules for residents, exceptions for us. Today, community members witnessed two blatant violations of the very parking rules the board claims to enforce with iron fists and towing threats: 🚗 The Board President’s car parked directly on the grass outside the association office—yes, the same grass residents are told they can’t even graze with a tire tread. 🚚 A vendor truck parked just 11 feet from a fire hydrant, violating Florida’s 15-foot legal clearance requirement. That’s not just a rule—it’s a safety law. Meanwhile, residents are being harassed in person and via email for parking infractions as minor as a tire brushing a blade of grass near their own driveway. The board’s message? “Touch grass, get towed.” Unless, of course, you’re on the board—or one of their vendors. Let’s be clear: this isn’t about grass. It’s about governance, integrity, and equal enforcement. If the board wants to play parking po...

⚖️ Quorum? What Quorum?

By -

The Board’s 60-Day Voting Extension Is a Legal Mirage On October 14, a Special Meeting of the Members at Hills of Inverrary was called. The meeting was supposed to be a formal vote on sweeping amendments to our governing documents. Instead, it turned into a procedural trainwreck with a lawyer at the helm and a board clinging to a fantasy clause that doesn’t exist. Let’s rewind. 🧮 The Quorum That Was… Until It Wasn’t At the start of the meeting, the board confidently declared that quorum had been reached. Great! That’s the minimum requirement to conduct official business. But as the vote tallies started rolling in, reality hit: the numbers didn’t add up. Electronic votes, proxies, and in-person attendance fell short. Suddenly, the quorum vanished like a magician’s rabbit. 🧑‍⚖️ The Lawyer’s Legal Leap: “We Can Keep Collecting Votes for 60 Days!” Faced with the quorum collapse, the board’s lawyer announced that Florida Condo Law—specifically Chapter 718—allows the board to adjourn the m...

🗳️ THE HILLS HAVE LIES: A SPECIAL MEETING OR A SPECIAL MESS?

By -
Image
Last night, the Hills of Inverrary hosted what was billed as a “Special Meeting of the Members.” What we got instead was a masterclass in procedural chaos, vote-counting improv, and boardroom ambition dressed up as community governance. 🎩 LAWYER MAGIC: NON-BOARD VOTE COUNTERS SUMMONED A lawyer—hired by the board, naturally—opened the meeting with a flourish, assigning “non-board members” to count votes. Sounds democratic, right? Except these volunteers had no clue how to count electronic votes. None. Zip. Zilch. They were about as prepared as a squirrel at a calculus exam. 🧮 BOARD MEMBERS TO THE RESCUE (OF THEMSELVES) With the vote counters flailing, the board members—yes, the very people whose amendments were on the ballot—jumped in to “help.” That’s right: the foxes were invited into the henhouse, and they brought calculators they didn’t know how to use. 💻 THE MYSTICAL VOTING SYSTEM: YES VOTES ONLY Then came the pièce de résistance: The board proclaimed that the electronic voting ...

🛑 Vote NO on the Hills of Inverrary Bylaw Amendments: Safeguard Our Community’s Future

By -
Image
The Hills of Inverrary Board is once again proposing changes to our Association Bylaws—and this time, the stakes are higher than ever.  While some elements may sound reasonable at first glance, the fine print reveals a troubling expansion of board power that demands our attention and action. Let’s break it down: 🗳️ Amendment #1: Extending Board Terms to Two Years Currently, our bylaws require annual elections for board members—a cornerstone of accountability and transparency. The proposed change would double board terms to two years, reducing our ability to course-correct and hold leadership accountable. Ask yourself: ✅Why is the board trying to reduce the frequency of elections? ✅What have they done to earn longer terms? ✅Shouldn’t trust be earned through performance, not embedded through policy? Annual elections empower residents. Two-year terms entrench power. 💰 Amendment #2: Two Signatures on Checks—Good! But Hidden Within: Investment Authority—Dangerous! Yes, requiring two s...

🧠 Rules & Regs Gone Wild: Hills of Inverrary COA Edition

By -
Image
🚓 Opening Act: The Towing Nostalgia Tour This week's Rules and Regulations Committee meeting felt like a live taping of Black Mirror: COA Edition. The Rules and Regs Guy kicked things off with misty-eyed nostalgia for the “good old days” when cars were towed for merely thinking about curbs. His 10-minute time limit ballooned into a TED Talk titled Authoritarian Landscaping: A Retrospective. When reminded of the clock, he laughed—because rules are for residents, not the rule-makers. 🧹 Personal Items = Public Enemy The committee then clarified that any personal item touching a common area would be “swiftly dealt with.” Translation: fines, lawsuits, liens, and possibly exile. Renters? Silenced. Not a whisper. Not even a polite cough. One resident sneezed and was immediately added to the violation log. 🚙 Guest Pass: Now with Threat Detection The pièce de résistance? The unveiling of the new dashboard guest pass—a glossy laminated threat that reads like a ransom note. If your tire gr...

🚨 Sewer Lines & Self-Dealing: When Board Members Treat Your Condo Like Their Personal Kingdom

By -
Image
Welcome to the Hills of Inverrary, where infrastructure is crumbling—unless, of course, you're a board member with a pet project and a plumbing problem. While residents beg for basic repairs, certain board members seem to be living in a taxpayer-funded fantasyland, complete with custom landscaping, driveway dividers, and hush-hush sewer fixes. Let’s break this down. 🧱 The Rotten Railroad Ties of Favoritism A board president allegedly had her sewer line repaired —on the association’s dime—while telling a fellow resident with chronic backups, “We’re not replacing sewer lines until we can do a special assessment.” A board president also got new landscaping stones , including creosote railroad ties , which are not only banned in many communities but also flagged by the EPA for their carcinogenic properties. Another board member reportedly installed a driveway divider to block neighbor parking. Not a community-wide initiative—just a personal vendetta with concrete. Meanwhile, a n...

🕵️‍♂️ Hills of Inverrary: When the Board Says “No,” the Residents Say “Audit Anyway”

By -
Image
Let’s talk about transparency. Not the kind that shows up in glossy newsletters with clipart of palm trees and vague promises of “fiscal responsibility.” I mean real transparency—the kind that comes with receipts, spreadsheets, and a few raised eyebrows when the landscaping budget mysteriously triples. At Hills of Inverrary, we’ve been pushing for a formal forensic audit of our association’s finances. Why? Because residents deserve to know where their money’s going—and whether it’s being shoveled into potholes or quietly disappearing into the Bermuda Triangle of condo accounting. But surprise! The board isn’t exactly rolling out the red carpet. Between cost concerns and a sudden case of “we’ll look into it,” it’s clear we may need a Plan B. 🧠 Enter: The Resident-Led Forensic Audit Taskforce If the board won’t approve a forensic audit or we don't get the requisite number of votes during our special meeting of the membership, we’ll do what any self-respecting community of intelligen...

🚛 Sticker Shock and the Clock of Doom: Hills of Inverrary Board Meeting Recap

By -
Image
Last night’s Hills of Inverrary board meeting was less “governance” and more “govern-antics.” If you missed it, don’t worry—we took notes so you wouldn’t have to. Buckle up, truck class. This one’s for you. 🛻 Victory for the Truck Class! The board president opened with a long-winded sermon on the dangers of pickup trucks—apparently they’re the gateway vehicle to chaos. But after a community outcry, especially from the newly mobilized Hills of Inverrary News blog!, she backed off the anti-truck crusade. Trucks live to park another day. Cue the tailgate party. 🚨 Stickergate: The Reckless Proclamation Next came the Sticker Proclamation™: any vehicle with a sticker—yes, any—would be deemed “commercial” and towed. That includes bumper stickers, pinstripes, Punisher decals, Trump flags, and possibly even Bigfoot sightings. The proclamation was so sweeping it could’ve classified NASCAR as a commercial fleet. But the Zoom chat lit up like a Fourth of July sparkler. Hills heroes pushed back ...
