Chapter President abusing authority?
In the past, the Ironwood Chapter of CCPOA would host monthly chapter meetings in either Blythe or Indio California. Normally these meetings would be held on the third Wednesday of every month and usually at 1630 hours. So common was this practice that advance notice of meetings wasn’t even necessary, everyone just knew.
The July 2004 meeting was held in Cathedral City for the first time. During this meeting the board voiced concerns about meetings being moved from Indio to Cathedral City. The Board made a symbolic motion to hold the meetings in Indio rather than Cathedral City. Even though the motion passed, the chapter president refused to accept the majority opinion. After that meeting, members overheard the chapter president saying something to the effect that he would start holding meetings in Banning Ca. Banning is another hour away from the Institution.
Since that July meeting, there has only been one meeting called to order in Blythe California. Every other meeting he has scheduled in the remote desert location of Chiriaco Summit. Is this all just a coincidence?
On March 9, 2005 a notice was posted that there will be a chapter meeting in Cathedral City at Century Park on SATURDAY March 19, 2005 at 0900 hours. Is it just a coincidence that this is only minutes from the chapter presidents Cathedral City home? Or that many of the chapter members will not be able to attend this meeting because they will be taking the Sergeants Exam 150 miles away in Blythe. It’s all just a coincidence, right?
One might think that these meetings are being carefully planned so that Board Members can’t attend and could then be removed from the Board. It seems to be the “M.O.” of this chapter president to do what’s convenient for himself and no one else. Maybe it’s all just a coincidence….Hum… I Think Not !!!
