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

By -

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 hard, questioning whether personality was now banned. Then, in a twist worthy of a courtroom drama, a board member (possibly stickered herself) challenged the proclamation live on Zoom. The board president blinked. Motion tabled. Stickers survive. For now.

⏰ The Clock of Doom Appears

A new weapon was unveiled: a HUGE CLOCK placed on the board table. Its purpose? To silence residents during Good & Welfare faster than you can say “Robert’s Rules.” The Meeting Monitor now has a timepiece worthy of a Bond villain, and she wielded it with precision—cutting off speakers mid-sentence like a game show buzzer gone rogue.

🌳 Fruit Trees, Trash Cranes, and Dandelion Tea

A bold former board member took the mic and dropped truth bombs:

• Illegal trash piles on the FPL easement.

• Near-electrocution of crane operators.

• The tragic mango tree massacre—because it bore food.

Then came a dandelion tea enthusiast, who asked the obvious:

“Will staff now patrol for rogue dandelions and pinstripes?”

The room (and chat) erupted. The absurdity was too ripe to ignore.

🏚️ Sticker Focus vs. $700K Roofgate

Finally, one of the chat warriors asked the question on everyone’s mind:

“Why is the board obsessed with stickers and dandelions while ignoring the $700,000 roof debacle?”

Mic drop. No response. Just the ticking of the Clock of Doom.

🏆 Final Thoughts

The Hills of Inverrary is no longer just a condo community—it’s a battleground of ideas, stickers, and fruit trees. The board may have the clock, but the people have the chat. And the mangoes.

Stay tuned for next month’s episode: “The Great Lawn Chair Rebellion.”

Hills News: Giving Residents a Voice Beyond the Boardroom

By -
In every community, there exists a delicate balance between governance and grassroots action. Here in our neighborhood, that balance has sometimes felt out of reach. Too often, during board meetings—particularly under the Good and Welfare agenda—residents find themselves interrupted, dismissed, or accused of being off-topic. Important concerns go unanswered, and meaningful discussions stall before they even begin. That’s why Hills News exists. This blog is more than just a space for updates—it's an independent community outlet designed to ensure that every resident has a voice. Whether it's holding the board accountable for decisions affecting our homes, advocating for changes that matter, or simply refusing to accept the same old cycle of closed-door discussions, this platform empowers residents to speak without fear of censorship.

🎯 When “Removal” Isn’t Repair: Why Our Trellises Deserve Restoration, Not Erasure

By -

In our community, the exterior maintenance of buildings—including architectural features like wood trellises—is the responsibility of the association. These trellises, while decorative, are part of the original design, lending charm, symmetry, and character to our homes. But recently, something troubling happened: after one resident’s trellis showed visible termite damage, the association sent someone out—not to repair it, but to saw it off and declare it wouldn’t be replaced. Why? Because the board decided trellises “attract termites.” Let’s be clear— removal is not maintenance. And under both state law and the spirit of our own governing documents, the association is obligated to maintain the exterior of the property—not selectively erase the parts it no longer wants to care for. 📜 What the Law Says Florida Statute 718.113 requires that associations maintain and repair the common elements—especially if those features are part of the original design. If trellises are considered “li...

Infrastructure Maintenance: A Fiduciary Responsibility, Not an Afterthought

By -

In Hills of Inverrary, the board of directors isn’t just a group of volunteers—it’s a fiduciary body entrusted with the financial and operational wellbeing of our community. That means every decision, especially regarding infrastructure like storm drains, sewer laterals, and roads, must reflect duty of care , duty of loyalty , and duty of obedience to the association’s governing documents. Ignoring Infrastructure Breaches That Duty When storm drains are clogged and flooding occurs, the issue isn’t merely aesthetic or inconvenient—it’s a failure to uphold the fiduciary obligation to protect common elements and maintain community value. Allowing critical infrastructure to deteriorate exposes the association to liability, reduces property values, and ultimately costs homeowners far more in the long run. Good Governance Means Smart Budgeting Effective infrastructure maintenance starts with forward-thinking financial planning. A responsible board doesn’t wait for failure—they anticipate...
