The Automotive lift belongs to Tom Tansey and he has been in loop for weeks. The Automotive Chair or vice-chair must give permission for committee equipment to leave the space, which happened…
I am chair-elect and current vice chair. This was also done with Tom’s constent and is far from the first time the lift has left the space- others have borrowed the lift on multiple occasions, which is one reason Tom has retained ownership of the lift.
Jim was made aware of these facts but still has been making accusations which are false—- or are downright lies.
He wasted time to go pull video, when no one involved is questioning who borrowed the lift.
The lift has been struggling in the past months, so I took time to service the jack, refill the fluid, and clean it up. Recent storms have forced my ‘lifting help’ had to reschedule, but Tom has been kept up to date, and since it’s his lift and not DMSs, then I’m not sure where the issue is, other than Jim wants to repeatedly insert his will into Automotive.
On three three different issues in the last week, he has told Automotive what we ‘have’ to do. As someone which has not attended an Automotive meeting in the past two years, I would invite him to be involved and to express his opinions, but making demands will never outweigh the will of the committee as long as I am involved in Automotive… no bully’s allowed in Automotive…
The intent of the lift is to support Automotive projects and members.
