Our Next Peachtree Village HOA Board Meeting is Saturday, May 3, 2025

Based on what we could best determine from our community's feedback as to when would be the best date/day and time, the Peachtree Village Interim HOA Board has set our next Board Meeting for Saturday, May 3, 2025, at 3:00 PM, at 3009 Plumtree Lane, Plano, Texas, 75074.

Please let us know what agenda items you'd like us to cover (you can email us at info@peachtreevillageplano.com). We'll do our best to go over every question or concern. This means, unlike what we so often experienced with previous Peachtree Village HOA Boards, this will be a REAL, OPEN Meeting for all residents (owners and lessees alike) and non-resident home owners.

One item that will, for sure, be on the agenda is our next election of full-term (probably for one year) Board members. As you may know, the previous Board was talking about, once again, holding an annual election in JUNE, just like they did last year, when so many people in our community are out of town! (Then, two days ago, the Old Board put out a letter saying they want to have what they call an election in May, instead!

But we need to understand clearly, the Old Board which we just removed from office last March 29, 2025 had, for all practical purposes, elected themselves by using the old, UNDEMOCRATIC "proxy" system, blank ballots brought in by anyone, and without any secured, chain of custody, easily making it possible to manipulate election results! Moreover, the old HOA election practices failed to provide any time at all, much less a reasonable amount, for nominees to campaign! Instead, all we got were ad hoc nominations which were then "voted" for at the same annual meeting, the very same evening! Imagine if you voted anywhere else for any other office (US President, Texas governor, US or state congressional seat, etc.) and you didn't even know who to vote for until you got to the polling station!!!

Therefore, we will be holding a REAL, DEMOCRATICALLY-conducted election, by setting up a long enough campaign period (probably 45 days) for nominees to make themselves known to the entire Peachtree Village community, so they can put forward their qualifications, ideas and plans, so everyone will actually know who they are voting for and why!

At our next May 3, 2025 meeting, we want everyone to come and help us select one date to get nominations turned in and another date to hold the full-term Board election. After the nomination meeting, we'll publish the names and positions sought by each nominee, and then encourage them to campaign. After this campaign period, THEN we'll hold a REAL election after EVERYONE in our community has had a good chance to know who they're voting for or not!

Secured absentee ballots will be provided so no one will have to come in person to vote, but they will be DIRECTLY-conveyed, signed ballots, which will be VERIFIED, much like the way we took filled in ballots and verified them before counting at our recent Referendum on March 29, 2025. We will NOT use BLANK and easy-to-fake "proxy" ballots, which in the past has only resulted in a handful of people voting, people whom the previous Boards (and in recent years, Goodwin & Co.) wanted, so they would do THEIR bidding!

As of now, we're looking at a nomination meeting sometime in early September 2025, and an election date in mid October 2025, but we want to hear from everyone in our community so we can select the best dates possible.

Of course, we're hoping that, by this early autumn, everyone who had either been on or was one of the few who supported the Old Board will respond positively to our request they participate in the new direction our HOA has already embarked upon. Though we strongly disagreed with their heavy-handed, punitive and divisive methods, we still want everyone of them to work with us, and perhaps, they will begin to understand our new direction was the right one to take all along.
