From:
Jon Strang, Office Manager
(001) There have been rumors that I stole
the ballot box or did something with it.
(002) I DID NOT.
(003) It was removed by Joe Rupprecht the
board president and put in the park managers' office for safekeeping as the
election was called off.
(004) I do not have a key to that office
and told them I do not want one for the reason stated above.
(005) Secondly, in regards to the
election ballots.
(006) I have heard various stories that I
was responsible for them.
(007) AGAIN I WAS
NOT.
(008) The only ballots I did were the
legal pink ballots that were put out by the board of directors and election
committee after the candidates were nominated and resumes received.
(009) That ballot called for the election
of six (6) directors and was to be received
in the office by 4pm Friday before the
election as was always done.
(010) This ballot is also in the computer
as it was set up to be used when ever there will be an election.
(011) I did not send out the second
yellow/green ballot.
(012) Ernie Moon and Karen Morovits
brought it to me.
(013) They instructed me to make copies
for them to be sent out.
(014) I told them that the ballots were
already out but they said those were not valid because we now needed to elect
seven not six directors.
(015) They also asked for envelopes and I
supplied what I had.
(016) I did this under duress as I felt
it was wrong.
(017) They took the ballots to the loft
as I had them ready.
(018) Ernie and Bob came down at times to
collect more as I finished copying them.
(019) Ernie Moon, Karen Morovits, Bob
Buckley, Cheryl Oaks and others put them together there and mailed them out.
(020) Now understand that at this time
they were not legal board members or election committee.
(021) Thirdly, I was told by Fred Burrow
and Ernie Moon that the pink original ballots were to be destroyed.
(022) I refused to do this as I told them
if a resident did not receive or send in a yellow/green ballot the pink one
needed to be counted otherwise you deprive a member of their legal right to
vote.
(023) All pink ballots that I received
are unopened and locked up for safekeeping.
(024) Also let it be noted that at a
concerned members gathering Fred stood up with both ballots in his hand and
said that the pink ballot was the legal ballot not the yellow/green one.
(025) I have also heard and talked to
several people who said they had not received the yellow/green ballot.
(026) AFTER
READING THIS YOU TELL ME WHAT IS LEGAL AND WHAT IS NOT.
