...unt der lawyer. Attended the special meeting of the Board of Directors tonight. They pulled out their big guns...had a lawyer present as well as the Property Manager. Typical lawyer, wanted to monopolize the discussion. I think he was a little annoyed that I wasn't intimidated. Basically the discusion went like this:
Lawyer: Mr. Heuring, do you know that there have been several complaints during the last four months regarding your truck?
Me: That's interesting. What By-law am I in contravention of?
Lawyer: Mr Heuring, doesn't it concern you that some of your neighbours find your truck offensive?
Me: That's interesting. What by-law am I in contravention of?
Lawyer: Mr Heuring, having your truck on your property may present the wrong idea to people who may be interested buying property in your neighbourhood.
Me: That's interesting. What by-law am I in contravention of?
You get the picture. The home owners association don't have a legal leg to stand on.
There are a few very silly people in my neighbourhood who took exception to the way I ran the Home Owners Association when I was president; that is, fiscally responsibly, efficiently, and effectively. They wanted to spend thousands of our dollars on a block party, an expenditure that I objected to. They wanted to, and did, make a directory of all the homes in our neighbourhood complete with kids names, ages, schools, phone numbers, and pet's names. I labelled this, "The Pedophiles guide to the Parks of Corinth" I live in an upscale, Middle class neighbourhood inhabited by professional, educated people, who's lack of common sense is amazing to behold. I pointed this out to them, which gained their ire, hence the continuing harassment about my truck.
I hope that tonight has put an end to the nonsense over my CMP. however, I doubt it. I think they may try to rewrite the section regarding the parking of vehicles so as to exclude my truck. They will have to be careful of the wording so as to not exclude any of the other home owner's vehicles. I don't know how they will achieve that without making it so obvious that the new law is directed specifically at me, which then smacks of discrimination and leaves them open for a law suit. I'll keep all y'all informed as to what happens next.
CHIMO!
