Bharath.
You placed a note on my door. I had a question for you.
You list unnecessary spending as part of your platform.
I am curious.
Is it true that you had an issue with the MUD that required legal action?
Is it true that the judgement went against you?
Were you aware that this issue cost the MUD money to resolve?
How are you to represent me? Can you not negotiate? Are you not able to compromise?
Are you planning to re pay the cost of the MUD legal costs?
I am curious how to plan to reduce unnecessary spending when you have a history of causing it?
"
My question is: How did Mr. Grier come to know about this pending case with details? Did he procure open records from County Courts Clerks office? Did Mr. Zervigon revealed the details to Mr. Grier and used it against my candidature as cheap methods to get re-elected? Oh, this means, he has planted it knowingly. What a ethical man is Mr. Zervigon.

Hello Mr. Grier,
Thanks for bringing your concerns. In my conscious mind I'm fighting against evil elements spreading negative incorrect remarks because by now they understood that I'm very important and will not be easy to manage if I'm elected with many issues that needs answers to the residents/citizens of the district. Please see my answers to the questions what you have raised:
Is it true that you had an issue with the MUD that required legal action?
Yes, the MUD board personally attacked our residence for Trash Can violations being visible in front of our home since the day we moved into this district 10/09/2014 till end the of 2015, where they did not have evidence of violation notices. Manipulated all those notices, had to fire Real manage as one of causes of not holding proper records. My battle with this issue is very true with regards to the information of title and other codes, which the elected officials have planted. Details are in the 26th district court against my residence registered to my wife name (Usha Divi) as owner of the residence. In fact Hunters' Glenn Sec 2 has no HOA like any other AMW neighborhoods, who can keep their trash cans anywhere within their property
Is it true that the judgement went against you?
Not true. The case is still pending and we are challenging the district (MUD). For some reason MUD is holding up and delaying the cause. Try this for yourself from public records: http://judicialrecords.wilco.org/PublicAccess/CaseDetail.aspx?CaseID=1738930
Were you aware that this issue cost the MUD money to resolve?
This is manipulatively created, misleading citizens with improper information, pending court trial and verdict. The case has not yet initiated with a trial. I have enough evidence against MUD and their directors of misappropriation of funds.
How are you to represent me? Can you not negotiate? Are you not able to compromise?
Are you planning to re pay the cost of the MUD legal costs?
These are good questions. Time will answer and these questions are to be directed to those who informed you with a smoke and of-course there is already a fire lit by them. The same also applies to the sitting directors who have violated many within their neighborhood for over 3 years and have not taken any action themselves. What an hypocrisy. Did any one tell about that and there are citizens who have asked about these violations with evidence were turn down. Find out those incidences yourself or allow to meet you in person for more explanation with ample information. I'm sure the sitting directors have started spreading these words to cover their foot prints.
I had an attorney who made all arrangements to negotiate to get rid of this with a said amount, which the board does not accept and using their attorneys they are increasing the amount of fines over 5K, which is not acceptable by us in any way. So we decided to fight against them. All you have heard through the elected directors of your neighborhood are great lies.
Finally, unnecessary spending
1. We do not have to spent money against one day of services by the directors every 2nd Wednesday in the name of DRC meeting to contracted company, which is a waste of public money. The contractors are paid heavily. The fines collected from the people are spent for birthday parties, luxurious hotel parties, etc. The amounts are in excess of $40K plus. Spending of tax payers dollars in many unnecessary activities including and upto 30% hike from tax payers revenue to the management company INFRAMARK formerly known as STS and their friends. Many irresponsible answers from the management company representative Mr. Patricia Rybachek, who gets away with everything because of many quid-pro-quo caught up by the existing sitting directors, who mislead the citizens.
2. The maintenance cost of the existing parks and infrastructure has become alarming. No one knew what it is and the directors will not answer anything
3. The citizen approved bond kept private and interest paid towards that bond for how much and how long. Where is the dream of us annexing with City of Cedar Park. The agenda of these directors is not to annex and keep cleaning up our tax payers contribution over $3 Millions a year and raising because of the appraisals of our properties
This is the ugly tactics of these directors and it is disgraceful and shame on them. Cheap mentality people who have started negative war because they do not like my questions and asking for answers. How many people will they continue to scare. I not scared and I will fight to the end.
I expected something like this will pop up from the neighborhood meeting from these directors, last Sunday between 5 - 7 pm. How cheap? I request you to do your findings and let citizens know what those findings are than just my answers.
One final thing, even if I get elected by god-willing, I will vote for the case against me to get executed in the district court so that the entire district will know what these people have done to all of us. I have asked them to refund every fine dollars to the people back whether they are still living in the district or not. Many citizens left the district because they could not fight these guys who do just the lip talk to citizens who trust and believe them. With your permissions I'll forward you some emails that I exchanged years ago, which were not answered by any and their attorneys' who preside the meetings either.
I'll also forward your email to a friend in the district who can add her comments in support of my candidature and struggle. Linda, please forgive me for adding you to this chain and I need your help so that Mr. Grier is informed with correct facts.
Thanks,
Bharath.

I added some more to Mr. Grier:
"
Oh, one more point:
The existing directors knew very well that I'll be running for the MUD Office. To stop me entering into that office, they filed this lawsuit in Jan 2017 when Mr. Rocco and Mr. Rabago were up for that years' elections. The directors internally did not get along with Mr. Paul Rabago, so they chose Ms. Jana N Ramirez, proposed and recommended by one of the directors to run for this office, who we all voted for because Mr. Rabago was not a good fit. Giving an opportunity for a new person will help our district is what we thought when we voted for her. At that time, I did not know that she was also a hand picked candidate by existing directors. So, the sitting directors do not like any one questioning to fix their existing corrupt system and the way they conduct business with this entity.
Sir, you as a person who is very much concerned on our tax payers dollars, please try and get your information unbiased. After getting it straight, please publish and inform what your findings were to your family and friends. I hope you'll do the right thing and will give me a chance to explain, serve, and clear all issues.
Thanks,
Bharath.

Mr. Grier replied back again:

I have a couple of questions for clarification.
Yes, the MUD board personally attacked our residence for Trash Can violations being visible in front of our home since the day we moved into this district 10/09/2014 till end the of 2015, where they did not have evidence of violation notices. Manipulated all those notices, had to fire Real manage as one of causes of not holding proper records. My battle with this issue is very true with regards to the information of title and other codes, which the elected officials have planted. Details are in the 26th district court against my residence registered to my wife name (Usha Divi) as owner of the residence. In fact Hunters' Glenn Sec 2 has no HOA like any other AMW neighborhoods, who can keep their trash cans anywhere within their property
Different sections of the MUD have different rules. Some sections of the MUD require the Trash Cans to be hidden from view. My understanding is you live in such a section.
Do you violate that?
You seem to have very made you running for the MUD board a very personal issue not one for the betterment of the community but for your personal betterment.
I have received a notice from the MUD about my camper that was parked in my driveway. In my area that is a violation. I was unaware that it was a violation. They gave me 30 days to correct before they would fine me. I corrected and complied. End of story.
Again, I ask... did you violate the trash can rule?
"
I replied back to Mr. Grier:
"
We strongly believe that we did not violate any rules of our section. We live HG 2. In fact we do not have HOA and the state department has dismissed the chapter for non compliance in accordance with the state law. Please find attached a copy of the title which ensures that.
Also, the CCRs are part of the whole document for HOA which does not apply to us. It is complicated to explain that the board of directors and attorneys are really making it up and have forced us to choose this route.
As I said before, it is and was never personal. The board made it personal attack starting after 2 full years. I hope you saw the date in the attached link. Why don't they pursue earlier than this year? Even if you think it is personal, what will I do with my issues to the general issues that I represented to the board even before my issue came into picture. I tried to question and expose some of the biggest mistakes including the bad roads (obviously laid by the county officials but the good offices of our elected directors did nothing for over 3 years), prematurely replacing many water meters attributing the cause of leaks in the district to the amount of 400 thousand gallons every month and making money of it and many more issues including the methods of billing our water usage (Compare your residence bill with the residents of City of Cedar park, from where we buy water in bulk and City of Austin, if you have friends in these cities).
When all of those issues where represented, I was asked 1. Where are the people behind you to ask these questions? 2. What do you want? 3. If you do not like, why don't you leave the district? I'm not scared and I will fight. It was treated as tit for tat. It is in the court and legally, this point shouldn't have surfaced or discussed in public by the board of directors in any manner, which now questions the fairness of elections, questions many issues around this. Since you are aware, it means they started bad mouthing. Probably, this is also good for my defense points in the court.
Again, I wanted the whole district to know about the intent and trouble that the sitting team of directors have brought to the entire district and so I would still continue to take this issue to the court, irrespective of me being elected or not to see whatever may be the outcome of the case. As you brought some valid points before regarding tax payers expenses, If we loose the trial, we'll end up paying what the court is asking us to pay. This way no tax-payers money is lost in any manner. All monies are recovered. If god-willing we win, you should ask yourself about the consequences of that. Will those directors resign? Will the management company and the attorneys' office pay back to the district every dollar spent illegally and unaccountably t?
Thanks for you concerns and I hope I've answered to the maximum possible as the cause is still pending trial at the court.

Final reply from Mr. Grier:

{We strongly believe that we did not violate any rules of our section. We live HG 2. In fact we do not have HOA and the state department has dismissed the chapter for non compliance in accordance with the state law. Please find attached a copy of the title which ensures that}
The attached document states you do not have an HOA. That does not state you do not have to comply with deed restrictions.
We do not live in an area with an HOA - but that we still have deed restrictions. There are still things I have to comply with - like not parking a camper in my driveway for extended periods of time. I comply. If I was fined. I would pay it.
How did the board make it personal? I am sure they issue notices regardless of personal feelings.
You view it as an attack. I view it as enforcement of their duty.
I think you are doing what you feel is right for you. I can respect that. But I disagree with you. Your tone is clear.
{I'm not scared and I will fight. It was treated as tit for tat. It is in the court and legally, this point shouldn't have surfaced or discussed in public by the board of directors in any manner, which now questions the fairness of elections, questions many issues around this. Since you are aware, it means they started bad mouthing. Probably, this is also good for my defense points in the court.}
No one bad mouth you.
You solicited my vote. You left contact information.
I reached out to people I know and trust. I asked an opinion of you. As you pointed out the court case is public record.
I look forward to hearing how it is resolved. I appreciate you giving your word you will pay what the court deems you should pay, if you do lose the case.
I also find it interesting if you are convinced that you are right why hide the fact you are in a legal issue with the very BOARD you seek to be a member of? Any other election at a higher level surely this information would be made know and you would have to speak to it. And frankly, you do not make a very good case.
I find it really odd you cannot comply with a simple trash can issue. I think it speaks volumes about your character.
All of the other issues you bring up seem irrelevant. The current leaders go out of their way to listen and act in the general best interest of the MUD.
The amount of $ I pay to the MUD is negligible at best for the services I receive and if I ask a question of the current board I get answers.
My guess is you have made the relationship combative. You use words like attacked etc. You accuse them of plotting against you by filing at a certain time of year. Perhaps you need some personal time for reflection.
The more you say ... the more you convince me that you would not make a good leader. And you will not have my vote.
Wish you well.
Please do not contact me again.
