Director Recall information
/ Details
As engaged homeowners who deeply care about our community, we were both shocked and disappointed by the actions of Marcus Dumas, Carl Fsadni, and James Duck at the Board Meeting on Tuesday, February 18, 2025. Their decision to introduce and vote on motions that were not on the agenda was not only improper but also a clear violation of the procedures meant to ensure transparency and community involvement. These actions, coupled with their dismissive and unprofessional treatment of others, raise serious concerns about their priorities and understanding of our community’s bylaws. It was evident that their approach was neither collaborative nor in the best interest of the residents they were elected to serve.
The actions of these board members has now left the community without. a Community Association Manager(CAM) and jeopardizes projects that were mid-flight, such as the repairing of property damage from the ATT fiber install. It also resulted in a change in board President without any community awareness or involvement.
We encourage all homeowners to watch the video below and come to your own conclusions about the conduct and decision-making that took place.
