Dear Circle C Neighbors:
On the advice of our attorneys I have constantly been advised to not enter the ?“fight?” with some of our newcomer detractors. I have honored that directive, but when the virtual continuance of this community, and of its governance is at stake, I have chosen to disregard our attorneys?’ advice and, like always before, try to communicate directly with you.
We have, as you no doubt have observed, a significant challenge waged by several who would run off the dedicated volunteer servants of our CCHoA (all of whom agreed to take on the task when there was NO opposition, and when nobody else wanted it) in order to do their best to act in such a manner as to protect and preserve our home investment values. Our detractors fail, amidst all of their unfounded allegations, to acknowledge that your volunteer board has ultimately ?“won?” virtually every external challenge put before this neighborhood (with the help of many of our neighbors) in order to protect the image of and our investments in our community.
My theory is that there are those who want to interrupt the current activities of the directors of our Association in order to destroy all of the contracts and agreements that all of us have worked for over the years, so that they may ultimately create sufficient chaos to stop development in Circle C Ranch. Neighbors, I resent that, especially from people whom from my perspective, have NEVER ever made any positive contribution whatsoever to our neighborhood.
We have, among our attackers, Bill Gammon, a lawyer who sued us for a restraining order against our electing a director in the Spring 2003 CCHoA meeting, who is a convicted felon, pardoned by then governor Bill Clements, who has systematically raised motion after motion, all of which must be defended at your cost (which is significant, by the way), regardless of their frivolousness. I don?’t trust Mr. Gammon, and
his actions have demonstrated ample reason to not
trust what he has done. We have, among our attackers, Salvatore Costello, who set up his own little complaint ?“chat room?” and who has decided that he is the most gifted challenger to virtually everything that the board has ever done, and who, upon learning half of the information, typically publishes half-truths and challenges and criticizes the directors, out of context. He has demonstrated that his desire to attack and challenge the integrity of those in positions of responsibility is greater than his obligation to set the record straight when he ultimately learns the facts. I have chosen to ignore any and all comments from Mr. Costello. I will not comment on the rumor that Mr. Costello is a Mafia ?“trust baby?” who was moved to Austin in order to avoid the potential dangers of other major metropolitan areas.
