Reaume responded by asking Villet, “Who
do youwork for?”
At the same time, Balow began pounding
forcefully on a table and shouting at Villet,
“You will not speak at this meeting,” and
association vice president Ted Barker and
another man began forcefully ushering
Villet to the door.
“Do you want me to call the officer from
outside?Balowshouted at Villett.
As Villet was being evicted, Balow contin-
ued shouting at one member of the audi-
encewho videotaped the incident.
Witnesses reported that a township
police car was, in fact, patrolling the parking
area during the scheduledmeeting.
Villett said later that he “just wanted to
ask a question. I couldn't even get three
words out before they grabbed at me. I was
shocked. I didn't do anythingwrong.”
According to several subdivision resi-
dents, the annual meetings are usually open
to the public and identification has never
been checked at the door of meetings since
the associationwas chartered in 1958.
This year, four of the six current board
members were positioned at the entry into
the meeting sitting at registration tables,
checking identifications and status of those
who entered. At least one man, who
explained that he was there to observe only
and listen to Reaume, was turned away by
Balow. Balow said at the beginning of the
meeting that he had turned away two people
at the door and asked that anyone who was
not a Lake Pointe resident in good standing
leave.
Reaume's statements regarding the level
of emergency medical and fire service were
challenged by Lake Pointe resident Susan
Bondy. She responded to Reaume's state-
ment that residents were “getting better pro-
tection now.” Bondy asked Reaume, “Are
you aware of how many missed calls there
are on the township records forHVA (Huron
ValleyAmbulance)?
Reaume said that he did not have the
answers, “…but our dispatchers cannot
answer questions for patients like HVA
can.”
The fire department reports of missed
calls has been obtained by Bondy who also
asked Reaume to discuss the 1-mill special
assessment to support the fire, emergency
medical and advance life support services
4,000 residents petitioned to have on a ballot
for a public vote.
“In essence, Mr. Reaume, you were in
court four times and when ordered by the
court to place the fire department services
on the ballot you changed the ballot lan-
guage to 10 mills. I just want everyone here
to know that,”Bondy said.
(Richard Reaume did not return a phone
request for comment at press time.)
