The initial meeting of our newly elected Board of Directors certainly does not support the old saying about new brooms sweeping clean. As one of the bill-paying rabble in BCC, we always hope for the best when a new Board steps up to the plate. Unfortunately it looks like more of the same old, same old.
About 50 BCC owners (give or take) showed up to waste a couple of hours watching nothing being accomplished. Your blogger gave up and walked out after "Security hardware" became the fourth agenda item in a row to be tabled. (By the way, security cameras are a brilliant and long-overdue idea whose time has come. More on this in a later posting.)
The attending crowd had the usual minority of twits who really don't care what they say but love their own voice plus the disgraced former board members who seem intent on dominating and pushing our new Board around while preventing anything from getting done.
Board members Zubko and Pappas, working with their old cronies in the audience (Slota, Metzger and Shelton) managed to get every agenda item tabled. The best two bits of comedy in the meeting?
1. Zubko piously calling for 3 bids on the Flood insurance! (Just like the infamous ice machine that was bought secretly just in time for a Zubko Super Bowl party? Or like the ratification of Slota's secret TV consultant contract?)
2. Pappas asking for a completely transparent future operation of the Board.
Perhaps the BOD and BCC owners need to be reminded again what our BCC lawyers stated regarding the Rec District Board of Supervisors which was led by Zubko and included Pappas:
"The District and the individuals comprising its Board of Supervisors* have acted in reckless disregard for the truth in order to prevent the District from being dissolved and to remain in power. The District and the individuals comprising its Board of Supervisors have deliberately sabotaged the dissolution of the District, using defamation of the Association, its Board of Directors and attorneys and false accusations about commingling funds and not getting financial information as smoke screens."
*Rec District Supervisors: Bob Lewis, Wendy Metzger, Joe Pappas, Pete Shelton, Saundra Zubko
While we wish the best of luck to our new Board, hopes are dim unless they put a stop to the sort of shenanigans indulged in last night.
