I don't understand

The current board agrees that the golf club is correct in its interpretation of the original covenant. Do you and your running mates agree with this? If so what is the plan to get the golf course patch access back, is it to find private property owners that actually own part of the path and then use them to threaten the golf course into cutting a deal? Have you actually identified a single property owner who claims to own part of the path and who is willing to participate in this plan?

My Concerns about the Charlesgate Board President.

I'm getting more concerned about the actions of the Charlesgate board president. Last spring he told me flat out that he wouldn't spend a penny to save the bike path.
I have also heard that he has taken actions or made statements like:
(1) Requested the "disbursement journal" (what ever that is).
(2) Wanted a copy of the offering plan and covenants.
(3) "No body wants the bike path".
(4) Questioned how the Charlesgate portion of the assessment is determined.
(5) Complaints about proxy method. (We all do but maybe he is on the otherside, wanting more control for the board).
(6) That money spent on the lawyer was wasted.

I don't know the extent to which statements 1>6 are not true and I will correct them if so informed. My concern is he could make it difficult for the ROCC board to take the actions necessary to protect our rights to the bike path. He could even make it difficult for the pro-bike path candidates to win in the ROCC board election if he has a lot of control over what happens in Charlesgate.

(1) Does anybody know if the bike path was discussed at the Charlesgate board meeting January 13?
(2) Does anybody have a list of the Charlesgate board of directors and where they stand on the issue? Ideally the Charlesgate residents should speak up and get the Charlesgate board and its president to see things the right way. If I had a phone list for the Charlesgate board I would ask all the Charlesgate residents I know to call their board and get them moving in the right direction. I would appreciate any help on these actions.

Thanks
Pete

January Newsletter with Election News and Our Lawyer's Letter

The January newsletter is out. As I hinted, the election has been canceled,
primarily because it the way it was structured, a fair vote could not
happen.

I am sure the letter I sent to each board member and the board's lawyer
prompted this.

As a result, according to the bylaws, a committee made up of one board
member and two residents (that are not running) will be formed to select the
slate of candidates. I don't know if the one board member on the committee
can also be a candidate in the election.

I hope some of you can attend the January 11 meeting to get on this
committee and ensure I will be one of the candidates. If not I'll have to
mount a write-in campaign (which is allowed under the bylaws).

According to the newsletter the committee will then select the candidates
and a new proxy will be created at the February meeting.

Also, the letter from our lawyer to the Glen Oaks Golf Course lawyer is
printed on the inside of the back cover of the newsletter. There is no
explanation about it. It is the result of the November 16th meeting between
the board's lawyer, Ron Shubert, board members Tom Meldrum and Gene
Zambarda, and yours truly. I have not heard of any response from the golf
course.

Thanks,

Pete

ROCC Board Elections

There will be news coming out about the ROCC election.

I believe I know some of the details but I have been asked to not reveal the
information.

To demonstrate that I can be a "team player", all I will say is, those of
you that are calling residents regarding voting for me, you should no longer
make any calls.

Happy New Year.

Thanks,

Pete

How to Vote For Pete

To the Residents of Ransom Oaks:

My name is Pete Calinski. I am running for a position on the Ransom Oaks Board of Directors. For the last eleven months I have been doing everything I possibly can to ensure that we all can continue using the Ransom Oaks bike path. I can be far more effective in this battle if I am a member of the board.

From all my encounters with Ransom Oaks residents since this issue arose, I found that there are three discrete groups of residents with three sets of priorities regarding the bike path.
(1) All of the residents would like to retain use of the bike path.
(2) Those that live along the bike path have a larger concern. They have to put up with the actions of golfers that don’t practice good golf etiquette. Things like driving in their yards, damaging their property, swearing, and even urinating in public.
(3) Then there are the properties that are encroached on by the bike path. Those residents, in addition to the previous priorities, are also concerned about liability.
I intend to resolve this bike path issue in a way satisfies the concerns of all.

Some residents have expressed concern that the Golf Course has had to put up with the residents. Well, if we loose access to the bike path, the golf course won’t have to put up with us anymore but the residents in (2) and (3) above will still have to put up with the golfers.

I need your vote. To vote for me, either,

(1) On the proxy you received in the mail, fill in "Pete Calinski" next to the phrase “(insert name)" and then get the proxy to me (preferred) or mail it in. Each card mailed in costs the ROCC $1.00 and I can ensure none gets lost.
(2) Attend the meeting on January 11 at the Greenwoods Recreation Facility and cast your vote. Proof of residence will be required.
(3) If you sent in your proxy or lost it or it DID NOT have either Gene Zambarda or Pete Calinski in the (insert name) field, do as in (2) above and ask to retract the proxy at that time.

Thank you so much,
Pete
