Law Suit Filed Against the Point Aquarius POA
An online review of the 410th Judicial Court reveals that a lawsuit has been filed against the Point Aquarius POA. None of this should surprise residents after the laughable election the inner circle of the board pulled on May 22, 2006. They had originally appointed a director who was not a property owner in Point Aquarius as is required by the by-laws. Once they were challenged on that illegality, they tried to cover it up with a highly questionable “Durable Power of Attorney.” The judge will hold a hearing on June 6th according to the online docket.
This certainly appears to be an open and shut case. Joe Ashton was not a property owner at the time the candidates should have been vetted for the election. To present a document with an effective date of May 16, 2006 does not make him a property owner at the time of the election in April. In fact, the document itself may not have jurisdiction to decide ownership, but the judge will decide that.
It is interesting to note that whoever was appointed to determine eligibility to run in a POA election apparently didn’t do the job thoroughly. Was it the Secretary who failed to check on the ownership question? Or, did the inner circle just try to sneak it through? This time, we may find out because many are likely to have to testify under oath.
The sad part of this attempt at power control in Point Aquarius is that the association is probably going to have to pay for the legal fees to undo everything done by the illegal director along with every item that was carried by way of his vote.
