Unless we maintain the correct Board of Supervisors this authority can and has been horribly abused.
If you're a landowner you have a right and an obligation to vote - it's your communinty!
Our area (Viking Estates aka the Prairies) falls within a "Special District" known as the Coquina
Water Control District (CWCD).
What if I'm not a resident? Unlike other elections, in a Secial District you only need to be a landowner
(not a resident) to vote. Therefore ALL landowners (you) are entitled to vote for 'Special District
issues' as well as for members of the 'Board of Supervisors' of that Special District.
How do I vote? Unlike other elections, all voting is in person and not via US Mail. Therefore
to be heard you must be
present or assign your voice via 'proxy' to someone who attends the landowner meetings and
annual vote. I attend those landowner meetings and vote on behalf of the silent majority - thanks to
your proxies. Consider signing a proxy to me for your vote!
Why would I sign over my vote? Having a proxy from you does not preclude you from
appearing to vote on your own behalf. Having your proxy is a backup in the event you can't
make it! If you are present I will remove your proxy from my list so you can vote. In any case,
what's important is that your voice is being heard and your vote counted - and that's what's
most important!
Landowners of our community living all over the US (including the Prairies) have executed the above
proxy (click on the top image) giving me authority to vote on their behalf in an effort to maintain
like minded suprervisors having the same common goals and interests of the majority of our landowners.
Several years ago we managed to changed out the entire board with a new group of highly qualified
people along with a new Board Attorney. Through your proxies we've taken control of the board and
put a stop to the past aggressions of the prior board against landowners!
