BCL MEMBERS Bill of Rights
My Proposed BCL Bill of Rights
Friends and neighbors, we can do much better than what this board is giving us…
BCL MEMBERS BILL OF RIGHTS
1. THE BOARD WILL FOLLOW THE RULES, BYLAWS AND LAW – as written, equally and without prejudice. The board will never spend our money in any attempt to change the law without written consent 66% majority of members.
2. THE BOARD WILL PROTECT THE PROPERTY RIGHTS OF EVERY MEMBER, IT WILL NEVER SEEK TO SUBVERT OR TAKE RIGHTS FROM MEMEBERS, NOR SEEK TO INCREASE ITS RIGHTS OVER A MEMBER.
3. MEMBERS WILL VOTE FOR THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE – bylaws should be changed to give the members the right to directly elect the most important leaders of our community.
4. EVERY DIRECTOR'S VOTE FOR OR AGAINST WILL BE RECORDED AND PUBLISHED IN THE MINUTES. Monthly minutes shall be published within 7 days of each meeting.
5. ANY ISSUE WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CHANGE OUR COMMINITY SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO THEM MEMBERS FOR A VOTE. The board shall follow the lead of the member majority vote.
6. EVERY MEMBER IN GOOD STANDING MAY ATTEND ANY COMMITTEE MEETING AT ANYTIMEWITHOUT NOTICE OR PERMISSION.
7. THE 2017 BY-LAW CHANGES WERE A MISTAKE AND WILL BE MODIFIED IN FAVOR OF THE MEMBERS – NOT THE BOARD.

Marge(LRP Committee Chair), I invite you to respond here...
Free Speech... You eliminated the all our opposition opinions in your presentation. We welcome you.
I would invite Marge to make a response to the poor plan her committee proposed and approved for LOT 13. I would be happy to post it on this site. Unlike our current Board, I believe that opposing ideas should be freely expressed and will yield a better result for our community. I would be happy to listen to anything you have to say, maybe you can convince me & the other neighbors who are strongly opposed to ANY DEVELOPMENT of LOT13.
During the Aug 6th zoom you stated your presentation was available on the BCL website, ONLY the slides you showed are available, your narrative, your words are NOT there. Without your explanation the slides don't make much sense.
Answer to Member Question on Aug 6 Zoom
What is this lawsuit about?
On August 6th during the zoom meeting one member asked an important question- What is the lawsuit about?
The Demand was and is very simple -
OBEY THE LAW, Enforce the Deed Covenants on Lot 13.
That is all the suit is requiring from our Board. BCL's rules are the rules for everyone including the Board. This Board thinks that you and I are subject to the rules but they are NOT. That is the definition of HYPOCRACY- rules for thee but not for me. The LAWSUIT will bring the board in front of a Magistrate and ask for an order from the court to FORCE them to Enforce the rules which they have been enforcing for the last 60years.
The lawsuit was filed as a LAST RESORT after numerous letters were sent to:
1 Each board member as a Director of the Corporation
2 Numerous letters back and forth between attorneys
3 The board ignored a properly formatted Demand Notice, which gave them time to comply- Enforce the deed covenants.
Click on TRUTH in the upper right corner and you can read the words that are written into the Deed for yourself. You decide- Is our board following the law?
Free for everyone - no one is checking badges
THIS HAS BEEN APPROVED BY OUR BOARD
Our Lake will soon have an accessway for everyone to use. Members pay taxes and fees but outsiders will be using this. The founders of BCL very carefully designed our community with access to the lake which requires users to drive through the community, giving all of us and Security the chance to confirm "Members Only" by vehicle tags & badges. This is a poorly thought out plan that will cost every member hundreds of dollars per year due to legal fees and additional security. HOW LONG WILL IT BE BEFORE MANY NON-MEMBERS KNOW ABOUT THIS?
Long skinny lot, unlike every other accessway to the lake- look how close it is to Janet's driveway...
Our Board couldn't have chosen a poorer location to put a new access point. All of our other common lake areas are wide properties, allowing members room for parking, bathrooms, and easy access. NOT HERE... this property failed to perk - no bathroom. A portable stall will be the only solution. Is that something anyone wants to see next to their home or our beautiful lake.
Lots of trees to remove! Do you see room for boats and parking? Neither do we.
A good plan to destroy everything we love about our wonderful piece of natural beauty. This property was purchased from a bank who approached the board back in 2011. The board originally purchased it for "greenspace and drainage". This property is environmentally sensitive - it is wetlands and supplies a constant flow of spring water to our lake. How will development effect our lake?
