I have been working with board members since August trying to get the votes for the renaming of the skate park that was verbally promised to me from the beginning. Lengthy discussions have lead to the conclusion that the vote will not happen due to the relationships with the Matt Ortt company. I know this is true, and so does the board.

After working with the board I can honestly say as my personal opinion that this board is the most corrupt HOA board I have ever seen. It’s not just the stories I have heard but the actions of the board throughout their terms are unethical to say the least.

Thank you again for putting the management company above a paying resident. I’m sorry I don’t have the funds to make a difference in your decision.

On Monday November 14th I was asked to met with the OP Board President Doug Parks and Dr. Colette Horn. I was told that they will not pass the vote because “they don’t like change”…isn’t the point of your elected positions is to make changes…

I was told nothing has ever been dedicated to an individual…as they also say two rooms in the community center have…

I expressed again how we simply want to give back to our community and support the skate park for years to come. The HOA could care less about that section of the park and it shows. It’s an eye sore and they have absolutely no future plans to change it.

They offered an “annual award” in Gavin’s memory. In the same breath asked that I make a public statement so that the media would back off. What is an award going to do in the long overdue improvements that the skate park needs? How is an award going to bring the skate community and families together?

Your award will not shut us up. We will honor Gavin and make positive changes in our community but it will not be in OP. You as board members have tarnished our love for this neighborhood and our home. You have made me fight for this skatepark during the hardest months of my life. I’m tired.

Point blank..it all comes back to the individuals that killed my son and the HOA that chooses to support them. If Gavin had died in any other way that park would have been remained by now.

As a community we deserve better. We pay our dues and elect officials to represent us..not to represent their friends that take them on expensive trips, pay their food and alcohol bill and use that to sway votes.

I am the furthest away from a political person and to be honest this has certainly shown me why.
At this point I don’t care to fight this battle any longer. I’m tired, I want to grieve my son and try to get through the holidays. I want to support our daughter and get back to what matters.
You have won. I hope you continue to watch as we contribute as much as we can to our absolutely amazing community!! All around the outside boarders of OP. You have not done your neighbors justice and I’m sure will continue to do to what’s best for you, not us.

Please kindly take the meaningless award and shove it up your asses.
