Board claims 13 homeowners "served the Tamarack HOA Board”
Annual Meeting and election has been moved to October 28
Banvich clarifies that the HOA Board had not been "served" with any form of legal action: "We didn’t even request mediation."
Warner has an attorney and sends an election demand letter
This letter has now been released. It does not request mediation or initiate legal action. It gives the Board another opportunity to fix the issue or request a meeting without escalating. This marks the first time Warner got an attorney involved in communication, 6 weeks after the Board turned the original homeowner request over to an attorney.
Board implies that their attorney’s opinion changes words in Covenants from “last to occur” as “first to occur”
The Board has not shared the opinion letter. They claim the attorney called it a “drafting error” by M/I Homes, even though M/I homes declined to support this interpretation.
Board incorrectly claims to be in “ongoing litigation” with Warner
Another homeowner with legal knowledge steps in and corrects them. Warner’s attorney has confirmed that the letter did not initiate litigation in any way.

Near the end of the meeting where the Board defended their election decision, discussion shifted to the HOA’s dispute with Morse Landing & the Town of Cicero when a husband-and-wife landscaping committee duo blasted a peacekeeping letter Warner wrote to the Cicero Town Council. Committee speakers called the letter “targeted,” “petty,” blamed it for unrelated Villa landscaping delays, and singled out Stephen Warner and Todd Banvich by name.
Board’s law firm requests settlement meeting for election week or later
KSN’s request arrived October 14 at 5:17 p.m. The proposed weeks begin October 26 and November 2—just two days before the October 28 election, or after it—leaving little or no time for election corrections before the vote.
