Here is Doug Egly's response to the tent removal on the Haig Point Facebook page. Decisions are made with consultation with the management team, Board, various committees and member input. The HP House Committee voted unanimously at this past weeks meeting to not put the tent back up at this time. It was put up originally to meet the requirements for outdoor dining during covid. I would be happy to discuss with anyone in person. Indoor seating is available in the air conditioning during these hot times. We added tables back underneath the overhang as well. Thank you all for your comments and thoughts.

Where can I see these new home listings?

I'm a little confused. Maybe I don't understand the way things work. I thought the committees simply made recommendations to the board. I didn't think committees actually made spending decisions. Am I incorrect?

The "overwhelming support" mentioned here is approximately 18 or 19 votes to reach the required majority of quorum.

This is an example also of a spending decision that is being made without proper oversight. It costs money to take down that tent and reinstall it and clean it and basing that spending decision on a few anonymous comments about it being an "eyesore" is not enough to justify the costs. We have committees to assess this and poll the membership. The spending decisions on the grass tests, which could also be considered an "eyesore", are being made without the membership agreeing to fund the course upgrades.

Has anybody asked them why they removed it?

Thank you for posting this. This is anwhere beween 19 or 20 votes over the 2/3 majority required to pass and it seems perfectly legit. These results can be spun, but the bottom line is that it passed soundly.

Yes the percentages are intentionally misleading. From what I am told it won by merely 18 votes. (EDIT: CORRECTION, 19 or 20 VOTES)

Great question. This sets a really dangerous precedent for future votes. This needs to be brought to Gary's attention from other people. I have already brought it up to him and other people really need to chime in

This was Gary's verbatim reaponse this statement has no impact since the ballot will not allow you to submit a vote without a yes or no vote.   Gary 

@meiross This was absolutely not ethical at all regarding the last board vote.

Gary and the board should be made aware of this immediately. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt in assuming that this language was inserted by the accounting firm and not dictated by the board. I am putting it together an email to Gary immediately and I suggest everyone else does the same. I am also requesting the slide presentation that Jeff put forth yesterday with new information that is still not available for review. We are being asked to make decisions based on that information.

Here is the exact language. " If a Referendum Ballot is signed and without indicating you are against the Proposal it will be considered voted FOR approval of such Proposal." Everybody please vote NO for this "referendum". There is absolutely no doubt that the club needs to reach a break even point so that lending institutions will once again respect us. The membership did not get us into this position. The management did. The management needs to make some attempt to move us closer to break even before this bailout should be considered. EDIT: I want to point out that DocuSign will not allow you to proceed without voting YES or NO, so this really pertains to paper ballots, mail in ballots, etc.

That sounds like an operations issue which would fall directly under Tim Richards. Here's his contact info trichards@haigpoint.com 843.341.8142 Ideally those chairs should be cleaned/brushed daily before the beach club opens for visitors.

Thanks for the update!

Our family has MASA insurance which can cover helicopter transport fees, etc. https://www.masamts.com/ Some of the accidents this weekend were troubling. Sometimes it's easy to forget that golf carts can be dangerous.

The fact that Haig Point has not been at least "break-even" for the past several years (5?) needs to be closely examined. This would be concerning in any business. Financial checks and balances are severely lacking, and the finance committee is either not being given the information they need to oversee or else their advice is not being considered. Going after the Employee Retention Credit (nearly 2 years late) will be a short term solution but it will not repair our long term net profit issues. For those interested in the requirements for the ERC, it is here https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/Employee-Retention-Tax-Credit.pdf

Very well said.

my pleasure
