Ocean Pines Association member Stuart Lakernick applied to become a member of the Strategic Planning Committee. His desire to serve was rejected during the February 23rd board meeting on a disgraceful 3-2 vote. Doug Parks and Rick Farr voted to approve Lakernick's appointment. Frank Daly and Josette Wheatley voted against. Looking at the video of the meeting, we cannot be sure who the third vote against was, despite Horn saying the vote was 3-2 against. It appears Horn did not vote and Perrone voted against - but again, the video is not definitive.

Regardless, Amy Peck and Collette Horn apparently did not vote. Had they voted for Lakernick, he would have been appointed to the committee. Amy Peck is the liaison to the committee.

Those voting against Lakernick can say it was not a revenge vote until the cows come home. No one will believe them. Lakernick and Farr ran more or less as a team in the last board election. Farr prevailed in court when his candidacy was rejected. Lakernick lost rather narrowly to Frank Daly, who voted not to appoint an eligible association member to the committee. You can bet this vote was determined prior to the meeting. The vote against Lakernick was disgraceful.

More to come on this.
