The shenanigans, threats, and fines that SEVERAL residents are currently experiencing over butterfly gardens and/ or "foliage conflicts" in Cypress Head prove that it appears to be HIGH time for a spring cleaning in Cypress Head (and in other communities where butterfly gardeners and butterfly garden enthusiasts are targeted) that can only start when we:
1. Recall the HOA president, vice president, and Board.
2. Set strict and maximum 2-year LIMITS on the HOA president AND vice president.
3. Set strict and maximum 3-year LIMITS on Board members.
4. Stop the HOA president from grooming, campaigning for, placing on the ballot, and/ or influencing the placement of his friends and/ or associates in office.
5. Remove all Architectural Review Board (ARB) members and replace with a neutral board. (STOP the kangaroo court!) Add a master gardner to each meeting to offer support to homeowners and ARB members alike.
6. Replace the management company. (A Google search of the Cypress Head property management company, for example, yields a reference to "Condo Management" that may explain what seems like some "condo commando attitudes" that appear to be prevalent among the leadership, board, and management of Cypress Head. They also offer a "satisfaction guaranteed" policy that allows clients to cancel "...for any reason with 30-day notice". Yup. It's time, according to a number of residents.)
7. Investigate recent voting software purchases. (Beware of voting integrity concerns!)
8. Stop board members from double-dipping (influencing and attending ARB meetings, to start).
9. Install MANY female and diversified representatives in leadership, board, and ARB roles. (A newly appointed token female ARB member in Cypress Head doesn't cut it.) Get out and get active!
10. Support butterfly gardens and butterfly gardeners by amending HOA Covenants to encourage rather than punish such homeowners.
11. Invite master gardeners unto the ARB and/ or to provide support to homeowners.
12. Stop selective enforcement practices. Amend the Covenants, if necessary, and/ or offer a database in real-time that is easily accessible and shows, by address, date, and violation, whether or not a residence was fined and/ or cited for a community violation.
13. Install a neutral third-party grievance and/ or appeals committee. (The Cypress HeadARB Manual actually encourages the establishment of an appeals committee formed by others outside of the community.)
14. Issue violation notices that are specific and clearly defined. The vagueness of violation notices now appears to be intentional to subject homeowners to steeper fines and/ or broadly defined areas and/ or perpetual conflicts.
15. Require property management companies to quickly and easily email photographs to all residents as these relate to corrective actions.
16. Require property management companies to issue only time-stamped and date-stamped photographs to homeowners when issuing violation notices.
