I think what Dave was getting at is why pass your second motion (a standalone one) that tells the GM to look into using existing tennis courts for pickleball courts and adding a paddleball court.
Why indeed. Probably because Mr. Herrick and Mr. Stevens had both discussed the motion made by Mr. Herrick prior to the meeting and they were the only two to have a written copy of the motion. Mr. Stevens understands that passing the motion will result in a much lower cost for acquiring four dedicated pickleball courts and additional paddleball courts. Knowing this, it would have been silly for Stevens and Collins to vote against the motion. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: My motion was to amend Mr. Terry's motion by providing Pickle Ball and Platform courts requested by their respective membership's as a reasonable alternative to the Manklin Creek Project. Yes, and a motion the board should have passed. But it did not. It passed Terry's original motion. Then you made your original motion to amend as a standalone motion. Terry made a motion to amend that weakened it even more. Terry's amendment passed, then the motion passed. I think what Dave was getting at is why pass your second motion (a standalone one) that tells the GM to look into using existing tennis courts for pickleball courts and adding a paddleball court. For one thing, pickleball players are already using the tennis courts. For another why on earth even ask the GM to look into using tennis courts for pickleball immediately AFTER the board voted to spend $150,000 to prepare another area for eight new pickleball courts but not yet build them. Here's what will happen. This board or future boards will vote to build the eight new pickleball courts and all the other associated work with the GM's master plan, or not. If not, then we just threw $150,000 down a sewer. If they are all eventually built, it will result in even more money going down a sewer. You did your best, but nothing, absolutely nothing, trumps four votes. If the election this year does not result in a board with at least four members willing to look for a new GM, nothing will change. |
