Welcome
As many of you know, the last few years have been rather interesting during the Menifee Lakes Master Association, Board of Directors election season, to say the least. Well, it's the political season again in Menifee Lakes!
LET THE FUN BEGIN!!!
The elections have been "interesting" because the 2006 Board of Directors decided to terminate the Lake/Beach & Swim Club management contract of Don Harris in July, 2006.
Once terminated, Harris went on a "rampage" that began with leading a group that attempted to recall the Board of Directors that fired him. This recall "petition" was signed by only 2 (yes, that's two) members of the HOA, but went forward anyway as the Management Company at the time (since fired), and the lawfirm at the time (since fired), allowed it to go forward -- even though the law is clear in that a recall of the Board requires the signatures of 5% of the members (they had only two!).
He also sued the Association and several Directors. The Association and all but one Director have been dismissed from the case. In addition he sued two residents of Menifee Lakes, a Riverside County Sheriff's Deputy, the Sheriff himself and Riverside County! Most of these cases have been dismissed.
But the story doesn't end there and frankly, remains unfinished. There have been many other events and incidents involving Harris, that have the cost the HOA tons of time and money. Yet, he is running for re-election to the Board!!! Why you may ask? Uhhhh, we don't know.
There is still lots going on and we'll use these pages to keep you up-to-date. The upcoming Directors election is once again extremely important as there is very small faction within the community that, if their candidates are elected to the Board, will have a devastating effect on our community, including possibly raising our dues and attempting to re-hire Harris. That's all bad.
