A Homeowner went to the Meadows Pro Shop Friday to book tee times for eight people on Sunday. He was informed that a member of his group (very long-term Homeowner) is not allowed to play golf at The Meadows golf course. They got a glimpse of the list and there is now a list of Homeowners who are BANNED from playing golf at The Meadows.
To be clear, this does not have anything to do with misbehavior related to the golf course. It has nothing to do with non-payment of HOA fees. It is action taken against Homeowners who have spoken up with an opinion on the Benderson contract different than the President’s.
It is CLEARLY illegal to do this. There is no legal reason in Florida 720 or our governing documents to ban Homeowners from using amenities (other than non-payment of HOA fees which is not the case). Even if there was, it would require 14 days’ notice, a hearing and a Board approval. None of that happened.
We don’t know who all is on the list, and whether it applies to all MCA recreational facilities. But it doesn’t matter. Having even ONE Homeowner BANNED because [someone] wants them banned is beyond unacceptable (even if it wasn’t illegal, which it clearly is).
IS THIS THE LEADERSHIP YOU WANT? The kind that disregards Florida HOA laws and our governing docs whenever they want? And uses their unlawful power against Homeowners they consider to be their “enemies” ?
Two current Board members are running for re-election and this is your time to choose if this is the leadership you want for the next 3 years.
If you believe, as we do, that the community has the right to vote on important matters like this (not just the Board) you can contribute to the legal action to make this happen:
