- I spoke with Annette on the phone, after e-mailing her my answers to her questions at her request. She quickly read the first two paragraphs and said she could already see that "these answers just won't fly." She had already written something to publish on my behalf, without my approval, and I made it clear that I would not authorize her to edit the answers I offered her that are published here.
I believe that all Trustees, by accepting a position on the Board, take a pledge informally to transact the business of the community in a transparent way, probably the most important aspect of their role as volunteers.
This Board has refused to acknowledge or outline the management failures that led to huge fines, putting our Water Dept. in jeopardy of needing to be relocated, mishandling of Asbestos, and spending vast sums of member dollars on legal counsel. A federal criminal investigation has been in progress since last Summer, and still, the BOT is silent, hoping to not have to talk about any of this.
Each of the Trustees are complicit in this, which at this point is a cover-up, that violates the State mandate that all HOA business be transparent, and public knowledge. Still, the information got out and was published on the Blog you are disparaging, and later in the Chinook Observer. That was last Fall. - June 29, 2019 at 8:54 AM
You will see that the answers are responsive to the questions reflect clear honest views. This is exactly what is needed on this Board if we are to solve our current problems and move ahead in the future. Clear rational thinking is what is so badly needed on the Board. Steve Cox will bring that.

Steve had a great idea reference the tree issue. Why not have someone, maybe even the Tree Committee go to each J Place house with the owner, and with the “lower neighbor” and validate that trees are or are not actually blocking the view. This seems to be the basis for the complaints, so let’s see if it is valid. If not, then change the covenants.
That is not the charter of the tree committee. They are only to measure the trees of the property in question to see if they are above the height limit and violated the covenant then report it back to the office.
Most people want to avoid confrontation so that is why the person isn't told who made the complaint against them. Seeing the amount of hate here is all the evidence needed to confirm that the policy should remain. Still there have been cases where that has happened, even with the person making the complaint offering to cut the tree themselves, with the violator refusing.
Just because Cox keeps saying that there are no trees limiting views doesn't make it true. Any fool who walks along J or I place can tell you that.
You are the fool. I have walked J Place from top to bottom and have not seen a view blocked by a tree on I Street. OK so don’t Ma
S. Peggy and her drones do the work, bring their Trustee to look at it. Besides being a reality, you just don’t understand geometry Kurt. Wake up!.
I appreciate the answers, very clear, now we know where he stands. Annette does not read the blog, get her information from it or contribute to it. Where does it say anywhere that these answers won't fly? That comment was not necessary and just another attempt by the blog to discredit a sitting trustee who has never wavered from what she ran for when she was elected to the board 2 years ago.

You're right, Fred. She never wavered from pushing your special interests.
You discredit this blog because you cannot control it. Plain and simple.
Steve, your answers were sound but didn't conform to the questions that were asked to the other candidates, that's all. All Ms. De leest was asking from you was to answer, in order, the same questions that were asked to the other attendees. You have to admit, you went off on a little tirade here. Unfortunately, I can see where she is coming from, and actually, since you missed the first meet the candidates meeting you shouldn't have gotten this chance anyways.
4:43 sound like the Ms scolding you.
I attended the first "meet the candidates" B. Meeting. I didn't attend the Q&A B. Meeting, attended by about 10 members. There is no "tirade" as you reference, just my opinions. Since this was intended for the "Weekender" there is no real limit to the amount of copy, and I did answer the questions asked. I was not willing to let deLeest edit my statement, nor did she ask that I do so. She had already written a statement to publish for me, which I haven't seen.
I really marvel at comments like yours that label opinions made with conviction "tirades" and "attacks". These terms denote violent motivation which is far from simple dialogue, and there is nothing about my comments that qualify. I'm not easily angered, and am not a violent person. I do not enjoy violent entertainment, and am concerned about violence in the world.
On the other hand, enforcement of ridiculous standards is kind of like a toothache that won't go away - a slow painful violence that nags at you, and effects your day to day frame of mind.
Thankfully, there'll be a big enough group of us to block Mr Cox and any other unsurpers.
Yes, we know who the "group of us" is. The status quo small part of J Placers. Mr. Cox speaks to the truth with honesty and sincerity. He is a breath of fresh air in this corrupt association of people like you, whose only defense is to attack with false and misleading comments. People like you are the problem. People like Mr. Cox are the solution.
Instead of berating people, why no comments on bot mistakes, fines, investigations, waste of money on stupid lawsuits. And childish behavior at meetings? Misdirection just makes some look foolish.
Cuz your fines, investigations, waste of money on stupid lawsuits, are all the same people, the same corrupt foolish people. Hopefully, their arrogance will ultimately be their downfall
