It culminated with the firing of the property&#8217;s general manager.    One resident who wants to remain anonymous tells KETK, &#8220;Everything&#8217;s on lock &#8212; it&#8217;s become this big secretive thing.&#8221;  The Smith County Sheriff&#8217;s Office is investigating the community after receiving a complaint that the maintenance supervisor was getting a 50% kickback to cut down trees in the neighborhood.   The resident also says the general manager of Hide-A-Way Lake, Dennis Godoy, has now been fired &#8212; and she claims this isn&#8217;t the first time she has been unhappy with the way things are run in her community.    <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It happened in 2005 as well,&#8221; says the resident. &#8220;I feel like I pay a lot of dues to not have adequate things out there.   If your road&#8217;s a mess and you&#8217;ve got trees falling in your yard, you would expect when they say they&#8217;re coming to fix it, for them to actually come fix it.&#8221;   There are other neighbors with complaints.   One said, &#8220;I knew in the past there had been some problems out there, but this is the latest that I&#8217;ve heard of anything going on in Hide-A-Way Lake.&#8221;   KETK did some digging, and just this June, Hideaway Asset Management was involved in a civil case.   Nearby residents say.they hope that this neighborhood makes some changes for the sake of the homeowners.   &#8220;By all means there needs to be an investigation,&#8221; says one.   People need to be held accountable for misuse of funds or any other activities that cost the local citizens and local taxpayers.&#8221; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HIDEAWAY &#8212; Neighbors in Hide-A-Way Lake, near Lindale, say they&#8217;re confused and upset about a recent investigation.
