Long months spent combing through pages of legal documents, Oklahoma state statutes, trips too numerous to count, to INCOG, various the Tulsa County agencies, attorneys, paralegals, surveyors, hundreds of inquiries, facts checked and re-checked, verifiable evidence by governing agencies to "back up" the facts, plus up-to-date links where all info can be verified. Yes, a grueling, yet enlightening journey. All made possible when Annie Thomas had boxes upon boxes of files unceremoniously dumped on TeShauna's front porch for all to see, when she quit her board position of Secretary/Treasurer.
WHERE ARE ANY LEGAL DOCUMENTS PRODUCED BY THE BURNING TREE MASTER ASSOCIATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE OR ARE CONTINUING TO DO?
When speaking to the BTMA regarding where they got what they claim to be their "facts", their pat answer is "we have always done it this way" (or everyone's personal favorite) someone "can attest to it". Now, doesn't it make you feel all is on the up and up that simply "someone can attest to it". They can produce no documents to back up what they are doing and don't use the legal Oklahoma state statutes as a guideline.
No documentation?
Intelligent people know facts are what counts, especially when getting in front of a judge. Where is their paper trail?
Wonder how well that will play with a judge?......No, your Honor, we have no documentation to support our claims, we really never understood what the legal documents said, and no, none of us ever took the time to try to understand what was written in them....except one old guy who is real confused as to why the legal description showing the location of BTMA's land is in the Articles of Incorporation. But wait! We have someone who will "attest to it that it might be thus or so". Seriously? Attest to it? Oh, yeah and then have someone show up with something that proves otherwise....Would you ever be willing to put your integrity on the line?
We have been living in a neighborhood where the left hand did not want the right hand to know what it was doing, no one ever bothered to take the time to "fact check", and thus, the good ole boys network pretty much ran the association as they wanted.
Just watch and see who will quietly be put in again, as "well paid" pool managers and whose kid and grandkid will be "well paid" lifeguards without the jobs being properly advertised. (Note: The D & O insurance does mention about the EEOC...so it would be wise to do it correctly this time.)
So it is no big surprise that when all the months of correct and verifiable facts are brought into the light of day, certain ones choose to put on their big ol' sunglasses before sticking their heads in the sand to hide in the darkness, refusing to see and acknowledge the truth.
Directors need to remember that if the board votes to do the wrong things it is considered an act of the entire board and can make all directors financially liable. (By-laws: ARTICLE VII 3. Every act or decision done or made by a majority of the directors present at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present shall be regarded as the act of the board. (The covenants give legal right to homeowners to prosecute anyone attempting to violate the covenants....and assessing homeowners is a violation attempt. The covenants state that we can only must pay for ACTUAL repair, upkeep and maintenance of our own subdivisions facilities and land.)

We are all aware of the nasty person saying horrible things about neighbors and trying to incite neighbors who don't know what is going on, against the honest people who are getting the truth out there. Great work on keeping us informed via the blogg. (P.S. She thinks she convinced me to her way of thinking with her drivel.)
