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

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?

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?

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

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...
