Settlement Offer when the "goal posts were moved"
In a Bruce Hunt reply to a post I made on Nextdoor he said:
“Look at the last offer the BOD made to Fields before he sued the entire community and tell me what was unfair.”
Following is the resignation letter from Phil Viruso a BOD member who saw that last offer and must have thought it was unfair. He represented the BOD and had negotiated a settlement with the Fields’ representatives before the board “moved the goal posts” and added 8 items that were unacceptable and a clause that said the board could cancel out of the agreement at anytime.
Here is his resignation letter:
I agreed to be on the settlement negotiating committee and put myself in the painful place between this BOD and the Fields. Since we had our conference call this past Wednesday with Trevitt Cristo and put together an outline of our proposal, you have apparently backtracked and now are taking a reversionary position of drawing the battle lines. You have made several public representations to the community that the BOD was close to an agreement with Fields (based on the Settlement Agreement), and now you are almost wholly rejecting the same agreement. What has changed? It appears that you do not really want to make this succeed with the ongoing indecisiveness of your position; or there is intent to undermine this effort. This is compromising my personal credibility and reputation, and I will not stand for that. It seems you keep moving the goal post as we move down the field, and that is tough for anyone to work with.
This lack of steadfast leadership is not tenable for me and I cannot continue to be associated with its ramifications, especially when coupled with the vitriol and divisiveness that is present on this current board.
Therefore, I am resigning from this Board of Directors and my (surrogate) Facility Chair effective immediately. ...... I sincerely hope that you can find some way to get this back on track, as you have led the expenditure of likely over $40,000 in legal fees with no end in sight presently; and apparently you and some on this board are not even following the advice of our attorneys (or the last set). This board has a responsibility to do the right thing for this community which should not be the agenda of a select few people.
Regards,
Phil Viruso
