Update: Thank you everyone who has signed this petition or shared with it with your Lake neighbors. It has been so encouraging to see such a groundswell of support in our efforts to remove Don Polonis from our Board of Directors. Each name and comment on this petition is making an incredible difference in our community.

Unfortunately, we have not yet succeeded in causing Director Polonis to resign. There is a member meeting with the Board of Directors on Tuesday, June 27th to discuss this topic specifically, but it is looking very likely that unless Polonis resigns voluntarily the owners at Lake Monticello will need to vote him out. The majority of household in the Lake will need to participate.

Please continue to share this petition and discuss this issue with your friends and neighbors. Keto showing up to Board meetings and speaking during public comment. We will make it known that we are not going anywhere until he is removed from the Board.

Thank you all. Thanks for making the Lake a great place to live.


Lake Monticello residents signed below hereby demand the immediate resignation of Director Donald Polonis.

His statements on social media have potentially violated the bylaws and code of conduct of the Lake Monticello Owners Association as well as those specifically of the LMOA Board of Directors. .

Following the behavior in question, he has further caused LMOA residents to feel unsafe and unwelcome, especially members of the LGBTQ+ community who were explicitly targeted. He did so by taking a concern which was addressed to the board about his.social media behavior and disseminating it on a public forum. Further, he included the members' personally identifiable information.

The members, signed below, demand he resign, or any further trust in the Lake Monticello Board will be forfeit.
