Instead, based on “privacy rules” enforced by the Board President, the General Manager and all members of the ECA Board, we have: 

·      Misrepresentation of facts stated by the Board President and incorrect accusations by governance members directed at some Eastman Owners. See May 30 Post and June 30 Post

·      Unsubstantiated claims of financial costs put forth by the Board President and inconsistent financial content in Financial Reports

·      Acts of collusion so that the ECA Board president and Eastman employees can participate at private illegal meetings with public VDE officials and whatever else they decide to do privately. See Blog of 5/6/14

·      An ECA Board that rejects the explicit wording of the “Owners’ Petition” and deliberately replaces one question with six questions

·      An ECA Board President who denies his culpability in acts that are a Conflict of Interest

·      A Board that states it has no Conflict of Interest and reviews its own decisions. See Board's Conflict of Interest

·      A General Manager who refuses to provide accountability on his spending specifically see: Hoodwinked

·      A General Manager who apparently improperly maintained the Center if we are to accept that it needs to be replaced. What other facilities are improperly maintained?

·      A General Manager who has failed to provide due diligence detail as to what repairs are actually needed in the Center with priorities and costs.

·      Rejection of the owners’ need of Right to Know standards within the EASTMAN governance

·      A governance model which is too complex for members to understand and has inequitable owner representation in its Council Body

·      A 2-tiered membership of owner rights in governance—See golfer/non-golfer rights

·      Golf Capital expenditures exceeding $6 million in the past 14 years for golf course grounds improvements and golf course vehicles with no owner vote.

·      An approved $6.1 million in Capital expenses to tear down a 17-year-old building and build a new golf resort/restaurant building with no preceding due diligence allowed on the owners’ part and no owner direct vote.
