This TikToK video shows what happens when outsized attorney fees make it impossible for a homeowner and his HOA to resolve a problem that neither of them started.
Whats happening in Sun City Anthem?
I got elected to Sun City Anthem Board on 5/1/17, the same day that Adam Clarkson was hired to be both the HOA’s attorney and its debt collector. From my very first meeting, Clarkson took actions against me, beginning with ordering me to recuse myself from all collection matters, past or present, then repreated cease & desist orders, demanding that I stop identifying myself as an elected member of the Board with any authority to speak an opinion, regardless of my professional expertise, if it differed from his “advice of counsel” of from the majority of the board. His most strident attacks were designed to threanen me into silence whenever I made any comment that was negative about the manager’s performance.
SCA’s “HOME” Page Says it all
Why I set up SCAstrong.com
Before I got booted off the Board on August 24, 2017, my concept of this website was to improve owner relations and to develop a strategic vision and plan like www.HendersonStrong.org. However, that PollyAnna has left the building. Now, a sadder, but wiser, gal is talking and my new purpose is:
- To show how owners are paying for the expensive ride the GM & attorney have taken us on by duping the Board into following instead of leading.
- To restore my reputation to its former glory.
- To get the Board members & bloggers out of power that are hurting us, dividing us, and are treating some of us a lot better than others.
- To develop new leaders who have their heads on straight & who haven’t had the fire in the belly kicked out of them yet.
Hot Button Issues examined in blog posts
- The cost of the failed 2017 removal election of four Directors which was made 10 times higher than it would have been by the GM and attorney usurping the role of the SCA Election Committee against the wishes of the petitioners
- Huge expenditure of unbudgeted association funds for legal fees – tripe the budget since Adam Clarkson started
- 2017 Vote of no Confidence Petition against the General Manager
- Unlawful actions by the SCA Board and management
- Concealing and falsifying the official SCA records
- Excessive management compensation
- Eviction of the Foundation Assisting Seniors
What you’ll learn from blog posts on SCAstrong.com
- What I’m doing about being illegally kicked off the Sun City Anthem Board just 116 days after 2,001 homeowners voted me onto the Board and two weeks after 825 owners called for a removal election to get rid of four of the other Directors.
- Why those 825 homeowners signed petitions to remove four Board members: Rex Weddle, Aletta Waterhouse, Tom Nissen & Bob Burch.
- Why 2,501 homeowners need to VOTE in the removal election scheduled for October 2nd – 20th, 2017.
- Why all SCA homeowners need to take action to stop being taken for a very expensive ride by:
- A Board that makes decisions over 50% of the time in secret
- A General Manager who is paid more than $100,000 over market,
- An unnecessary Community Association Manager who does not protect homeowners (so, why do we need two managers?), and
- An attorney who has billed three times the budgeted amount – to stop me from being a whistle-blower, to evict the Foundation Assisting Seniors, and to overly protect management.
Why should you care?
Nona Tobin, 9/25/17 SCAStrong.com Home Page
- If the Board is not fair to one, the system is not fair to all.
- Six members of the board abused their power by making the decision to kick me off in secret without a hearing and without a membership vote.
- Those same six Directors evicted the Foundation Assisting Seniors in the same sneaky and unfair way.
- What you need to care about is how to stop these people from trampling on all of our rights.
September 2017 SCAStrong.com archives show the entrenchment of power
September 2017 blogs linked here show that the same things are happening now. Clarkson and Seddon are still being unjustly enriched by manipulating the composition of the Sun City Anthem Board.
Call to Action – Stop SB 417
Please contact your State legislator and beg them not to pass SB 417. It just legalizes the corruption SCA has been fighting for years.
