At the last Board Meeting, several of the members brought up why the WOWSC Board has the agendas reviewed by the Legal Team….. we reached out to the Board and legal staff for some answers.
- It states in the Legal Engagement Agreement with the Carlton Group that we are required to have reviewed ….. why BECAUSE IT PROTECTS THE CORPORATION from any and all TOMA violations! Doesn’t the Membership recall the meetings back in 2018 about land sales and how it was’nt posted correctly blah blah blah…. well this can protect us. FYI Julie Neumann – President at the time signed the Engagement letter…. if she had a problem with that clause (as well as Board member Patti flunker time why did they not address it then? Its only now that are addressing. We also learned that they each reached out to Griffith and Davison another law firm for advise on agendas…… They also have an outstanding invoice with that firm of $3,000.00 which they need to pay, since Griffith and Davison was NOT an authorized (Board approved) legal contractor
- The WOWSC is a State regulated body…. vs the PUC, which means WE must follow TOMA guidelines. The POA is NOT state regulated, the POA is not subject to TOMA “TOMA does not directly apply to Homeowners Associations (HOAs) or Condominium Owners Associations (COAs) in Texas. These entities are considered private organizations; thus, they are not bound by the same requirements that govern public entities under TOMA”
Since the WOWSC is under TOMA its best to insure that our Agendas are solid. Again ask the Legal team why they put that in the Letter of Engagement… to protect us from TOMA violations. Also who many times have your heard the Flunkers say …. TOMA violations TOMA violations, and Patti Flunker (not a Lawyer) challenge our Lawyers – a team who went to law school, passed the bar and has practiced law for 30 plus years
3. From our analysis the Agenda review average about $60. Remember what the Rate Appeal law suit cost us $1.8 million,,,,, most of which came down to TOMA violations….. heck Danny even calls his entity – TOMA Integrity, should be know “Has no integrity”.
Keep up the good work WOWSC Board – Lots of TOMA threats by no actions, its because we have our Legal team at our 6
