Sue, Executive Director

My wife Audrey, made a trip to the SCSCAI office in order to replace and update her Membership Card today. Audrey tried to update my card at the same time and was instructed that the office needed my drivers licence identification card. 

Being that the SCSCAI Membership Card is an ID card itself it seems strange that another form of ID is needed. Attached is what you need, please process and return by mail. 

Thanks for your prompt attention.

Re: NOTICE of Payment under Protest SCSCAI HOA DUES

Sue, a peace of advice, when you have a hair trigger always have your target in the cross-hairs, otherwise you'll shoot your foot off. Attached are two of my many notes on this project that will set the record straight.

Now where do you get the audacity to bring my wife into your bogus accusations. An apology is in order.  
Sue: If you have a problem, it should be addressed with me and with me only. -- I have countless documents that have tried this approach, you probably don't really want to go there.
Sue: I can not get any men to work behind your house as they were so verbally abused. -- The w/o's that I have asked for would prove this to be FALSE.
Sue: I am sorry this happened, so now I must have in writing what you want done behind your house and it must be signed by both you and your wife, before we will consider doing anything further on Highland Fall Golf Course behind your home. -- All that has been expected from SCSCAI is normal maintenance defined in the governing documents. We have been promised weed and overgrowth maintenance to be performed on Highland Falls Golf course bordering three
properties at 2624 High Range.
P
honed in W/O have been ignored,
normally projects of this kind would be the responsibility of Sun City
not the homeowner.


This conversation is a perfect example of why the 
financial
losses are so great. Not a professionally run organization. We can agree on that.

I am sorry you are upset about so many things, but it is obvious that you care.  We can agree to disagree if you feel there is a problem over financial reporting and planning, however I do wish to talk to you about Highland Falls.
I met with you last summer and we came to an agreement as to what you wanted done behind your home and we did start on the project, when one day the men were chased away by your wife and told they were wrong and go away!  So they left and have not come back again.  It is not up to you or your wife to yell at employeesIf you have a problem, it should be addressed with me and with me only.  I can not get any men to work behind your house as they were so verbally abused.

I am sorry this happened, so now I must have in writing what you want done behind your house and it must be signed by both you and your wife, before we will consider doing anything further on Highland Fall Golf Course behind your home.

Ms. Sue Papillion Executive Director/manager,

Due to the failure of this HOA to provide the provisions defined in the Sun City Summerlin governing documents all further HOA Dues are paid under Protest.


The Association's purpose is, with reasonable governance and rules, to provide for the care and maintenance of the facilities in a cost effective manner, and to create an atmosphere which encourages new and old residents to maintain the active lifestyle they have sought by moving to the community.

FOR THE RECORD

Failure to provide Cost effective manner:
  • Failure of Board & Management to provide Independent Internal Audit over Financial Reporting
  • February 2015 LINK Summary of Operations is misleading as to the financial condition of SCSCAI. {go to link}
  • Refusal of Board to implement a Business Plan/P&L for our cash business.
  • Violating Fiduciary Duties: BoD's proposal & approval of Membership Dues to fund mismanaged business ventures at a yearly cost of $500 to each member.
  • BoD's selection of unqualified personnel to manage $65 million associations assets.
  • co-mingled for-profit ventures & membership unaudited Assets & Liabilities on Balance Sheet. 
  • Misuse of membership Yearly Dues to Fund Golf & Business Losses
Failure to provide for the care and Maintenance:
Summary:
My seventeen years experience as a retired resident-homeowner in Sun City Summerlin has witnessed many changes in the vision and lifestyle stated in original governing documents. This is due to the Sun City leadership's Pledge of Allegiance and an oath of loyalty to the HOA, not the membership they serve.

Buying a retirement home in this HOA is the worst single mistake I have made.

Our common interest community problem can be solved by tracing properties once owned by those who were forced to sell and/or by tracing the when, where and how ownership changed. Who now owns and/or owned the properties.? What properties were or are owned who had access to inside information. What is that information worth? Ownership information is the key. Records have disappeared. Important  records are stored off site. Who had or still has access? What records were trashed or have gone missing?
What properties are now by individuals and/or groups who had or may still have inside information, investment groups, etc. Do they include partnerships, corporations etc. Have the properties wound up in auctions and if so, who owns them now? Some of the answers are readily available and some are not. Was payment for services rendered?

There are many, many ways to get very wealthy at our expense, very quietly, without a person's name being attached. Our so-called audits do not enter this world of how some become very rich at our expense. Many have known for a long time about the out-of-state purchasers who own many homes that had inside information. That information is not readily available to the membership. It takes money to follow the trail. Some time ago I posted that rest of us are like sheep waiting to be sheared of everything we own. I have not changed that opinion.

Dwain,

SCSCAI financials get audited annually according to GAAS (Generally Accepted Auditing Standards). I am not aware of material audit adjustments that have been required from the auditors in the course of their audit so I am fairly confident our financials are free of material misstatements.

I think don't think combining for-profit and not-for-profit complicates things, except perhaps for taxes. The fund accounting with reserves may make things complicated. But I believe we would still have that complicating feature even if we were only not-for-profit. 

I think the issue at hand is the qualifications of administration management. It appears that things are not running as smoothly as they once did. Maybe things never ran smoothly but the chaos seems to be showing more.

The true cost of "volunteer management" is hidden, that is, you won't see it on any financials. Maybe that's a good thing. Maybe ignorance is bliss...

But you make a good point.

The Board and Management are well aware of this and refuse to address this problem, Why?

It is logical to think that this situation will continue until this mismanagement has been stopped. Accountability and the end of controlled  Communications is needed.

LINK Magazine, (misleading report to the Membership)


David Steinman, President SCSCAI Board of Directors,

Sun City Summerlin Board of Directors

January 6, 2015 the President & Board was made aware of a report in the January 2015 LINK article titled,, "From the Executive Director", was incorrect and misleading to our community,,, The Executive Director alludes that SCSCAI is financially sound. Not true.

Febuary 2015 LINK Summary of Operations is misleading as to the financial condition of SCSCAI.

(unaudited) October 2014 Balance Sheet
SCSCAI has a very complicated financial structure because it consolidates the balance sheets of the membership funds (Dues) with for profit cash business (golf/restaurants) therefore, co-mingling assets, liabilities and ownership and not providing the accountability of Generally Accepted Auditing Standards, or GAAS to the SCSCAI membership.

True Cost of Volunteer Management (free Management)  
January 6, 2015 SCSCAI Board meeting it was established that Sun City Summerlin is a self managed community by nine volunteer Board of Directors. (only Management qualifications needed is membership)

President Steinman stated "It is a big responsibility to govern

a business that amounts to a small city".

Audrey and I attended the Nine & Wine golf event yesterday at Eagle Crest. It was great fun and we met a lot of nice people. Donny did a fabulous job coordinating this event. Looking forward to more social events like this one.
