From court documents filed by Paul Gross regarding the WLIC user fee.
"After evaluating this case and the law, I believe there may exist potential grounds for a Fair Housing Act violation if the Plaintiff's Resolution is enforced by the Court according to United States v. City of Black Jack, 508 F.2nd 1179(1974)"
"After evaluating this case and the law, I believe there may exist potential grounds for a Missouri Human Right Act violation if the Plaintiff's Resolution is enforced by this Court according to section 213.040 Revised Statutes Missouri."
"I am in the process of searching for an expert witness to evaluate the Resolution to determine if the Resolution would cause a disparate impact upon minorities if implemented therefore violating the Fair Housing Act and the Missouri Human Rights Act."
"I believe that after a proper evaluation by an expert witness on this matter, he will find the resolution to cause a disparate impact on minorities if implemented."

This man is insane. What is his motivation? I'm at a complete loss. I've read the historical comments re: helping Zona Rosa, etc. But what does he gain from this continued behavior? What am I missing?
Is he simply being an ass? Or are there other issues I haven't read about yet?
I think you hit the nail on the head: This man is insane. That's the bottom line.
Unbelieveable. Why has Paul Gross spent so much time and energy to destroy this community? At every turn he has cost us and torn the fabric of our community apart.
I'm not sure that whoever is left that support him understand how much money out of their own pocket he has cost them. But he doesn't care. He and Donna have only been selfish in thier behavior.
I'm not sure that whoever is left that support him understand how much time and energy he has cost this community in protecting the lake with his conspiracy with those outside the lake. His allegiences have always been in Parkville and with those in Platte County.
I'm not sure if you could calculate the number of hours spent by the WLIC (which is just US, neighbors volunteering their time to make this a great place to raise their family) to constantly defend against his actions.
I'm not sure you could calculate the number of hours NOT given to this community because people do not want to put themselves in his path. He has proven he will lie, sue, and try to initmidate if you do.
And now this.
Interesting that after all these years they just discovered that we are all guilty of this. It makes no sense. He'll say anything.
Paul and Donna Gross are obviously only committed to destroying this community and tearing the fabric to shreads. There is nothing positive to say. It's only depressing.
I agree that having new users pay the new user fee is unfair. In fact, paying the $35 boat sticker is too expensive and unfair. I think I'll move to the National.
Oh wait...to play golf will cost me over $20,000 to join unless of course Paul moves over their and sues to remove that. If not, we can all move to Lake Quivera.
Oh wait...to move there costs $10k+ unless Paul moves there to sue to remove any cost to live there too.
I think everything should be free to everyone.
Obviously this is a serious charge and would negate our ability (remember we all own the WLIC equally) to protect the lake and fix things.
Paul and Donna Gross are pulling out anything they can think of to put the rest of us at risk. Are you willing to sacrifice your property value, especially now, because Paul and Donna Gross are willing to tie up the courts, and us, over what is obviously a desparate attempt to once again try to win something at the expense of the rest of us?
I don't understand what Paul is trying to win. How does a new user fee have any effect on current residents. Is there more to this than I am seeing. And the statement about minorities. How does a user fee have anything to do with minorities???? This community is not built around the color of your skin. And if you were to take a true look Caucasians are becoming the minority in this country. So could Paul explain what minorities he is referring too??
Be careful he might arrange to have himself arrested again! Then turn himself back in to a martyr again.Lots of gullible people bought in to that charade hook line and sinker! and I am not talking about the fishing club !Boy did you buy in to a whopper!
Of course he was found "innocent" Go in and get the transcript and read what the Judge suggested he do
Of course he didnt take the advice.
Ok I am now lost on the new user fee. I thought it was only to new property being purchased. So if a new house is built that first family to own pays a new user fee. If a current property is bought there is no fee, becuase the previous owner has already been paying fees to WLIC. So it is still 1 vote just being transfered to a new person. Can someone tell me if this is right?? When Paul loses in court, can't he be held liable for the attorney fees?? If I take McDonalds to court for me spilling hot coffee and I win, I don't pay my attorney fees they do because they lost.. Just an idea. Might stop so many frivalous suits
This is a new low even for Gross.
Any Paul apologist ok with this will continue to be ok with anything he does and clearly don't understand the seriousness of what he's doing.
Anonymous 8:12 a.m. asked:
"If a current property is bought there is no fee, because the previous owner has already been paying fees to WLIC." That is the existing rule. However, the new user fee being litigated would assess the fee on all new users including thos who bought from owners who have been paying the fees.
Anonymous 7:59 a.m. asked "How does a new user fee have any effect on current residents. Is there more to this than I am seeing."
It is absolutely true that the WLIC is assessing the fee on new users. However, the fee has an effect on all existing WL property owners. While the new user will pay the fee to the WLIC at closing, from an economic perspective, a buyer will discount the price they are willing to pay for a property by the amount of the fee. Consequently, Mr. Gross and all current WL property owners are impacted by the new fee (if and when they sell their house through the realization of a lower purchase price). Who knows if that is what is motivating Mr. Gross' legal opposition?
If you look at any lake community in the area you would find they all require some type of membership buy in. Like a prior post said, Lake Quivira costs $10,000+ (i really think its more like $15,000+) and even the National requires $20,000 and they don't have the wonderful lake we have. Most people would expect to pay something. And the fact is our new user fee is very reasonable compared to other areas. I guess if you sell your house and you want to negotiate the $2,000+ you are free to do that since you would be paying it either way. If new members don't help contribute to maintaining our assets then you and I pay higher annual fees. This fee has been in place for all new homes and no one complained. I dont get what the big deal is now. Maybe like 6:48 says, it should all be free to everyone.
In his own words... please sing
Here I come to save the day.....
When we bought our home here, we had to pay all of the WLIC fees even though the previous owner of our home had paid it just a couple of months earlier. In other words, the WLIC collected all of their fees twice on our property within a two-three month period. I do not see where this is a deviation from that policy. As for other communities, some have HOA (home owner association) fees and those would be handled as they come due. In other words, if you pay your HOA dues each quarter and sell your home after the first quarter, the new home owner has to pay for the remaining 3 quarters only. That has been my experience.
