A ray of sunshine for Sun City Summerlin




Sun City Summerlin Homeowners;

All eleven Candidates for the 2010 Board of Directors has committed to implement a Business Plan for Sun City's business. What does this mean for Sun City Summerlin? Five Candidates will be seated on the 2010 Board, only three incumbent Board members are on record in opposition to a Business Plan (BaerLeVasseurCaroccia), therefore the vote would be 6/3 in favor of the long overdue Business Plan. The only problem is that the oppositon (BaerLeVasseurCaroccia) will try to bury the Plan in committee.


In the past it has been requested for the formation of an independent Commission to apply the Essential Elements of a Good Business Plan; I would suggest this be the first order of business for the newly seated 2010 Board of Directors. The Task of the Independent Commission would be to fill in accurate data in the nine Essential Elements of the Plan. The Plan could be up and running 1-2 weeks after the data is compiled. Anyone that could provide accurate data or Professional advice pertaining to the nine Elements are requested to reply to this email with their contribution.

Additional information may be found on my Sun City-Blog. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me by e-mail or telephone.

Re: Meet the Candidates Meeting - January 16-19

Stan Bjonerud;

There you go again, attempting to be the self-appointed Messiah for Sun City Homeowners. Stan, you are Sun City's problem, not the solution. For the written record I have highlighted and addressed your political propaganda. May I suggest, you let the Board & Candidates speak for themselves, this would solve a lot of problems.

  1. committee experienceGovernance describes the overall management approach through which senior executives direct and control the entire organization, using a combination of management information and hierarchical management control structures. Governance activities ensure that critical management information reaching the executive team is sufficiently complete, accurate and timely to enable appropriate management decision making, and provide the control mechanisms to ensure that strategies, directions and instructions from management are carried out systematically and effectively. (there is no reference pertaining to committee experience).
  2. business planThe Board and Management have repeatedly misled, deceived and lied to homeowner's regarding existence of a Business Plan for Sun City businesses creating well over $2,000,000 yearly losses for our community. At the August 31, 2009 Board meeting I petitioned the Board for the implantation of a Standard Business Plan for the Sun City Businesses after finding out that no such Plan existed. President Post has instructed Board members and Management (Mr. Winkel) not to respond to my correspondence and ignore issues that pertain to the existence of a Business Plan.
  3. negative crapAugust 17, 2009 I petitioned the Board for the implantation of a Standard Business Plan, complete with a monthly P&L and Balance Statement that is mandatory business procedure. There has been a reluctance to produce a Business Plan by the BoD in the past, this includes the Executive Director (a non voting member of the Board). 
  4. Finances are stable: Due to the lack of professional guidance by the Executive Director, this has cost our Sun City Community over $6,575.00 per day for a total exceeding $12,000,000.
  5. sitting at the feet of the great negative communicator: Stan, be assured I will never sit at your feet.

Stan, if I can be of any further assistance do not hesitate to give me a call,

Dwain Kramzar - Common Sense Candidate for the Board of Directors

Dwain:

Last year when you ran for the board you had no committee experience. It is the same this year. You criticize the "business plan" our management uses yet you have not gone to the Finance Committee meetings or the budget preparation meetings to learn how things are done. You don't have to be on the Committee to contribute as residents are allowed to participate.

The bottom line for most of us is dues have gone up only $78 in five years and all of the past budgets have been on target. Finances are stable and the place is beautifully maintained. The association is doing something right yet all you guys see in negative crap. Yes, golf is a problem and it's a problem the next board will address.

Too bad, because, if you have the small business experience you claim, you could be a good board member candidate. Suggest you join or go to committee meeting first and learn instead of sitting at the feet of the great negative communicator who sees no good in anything.

The Concerned Citizens support experience. You don't have it – yet. The Residents Forum support no one as I think you know.

Sorry for sounding off.

Stan Bjonerud

Sun City Homeowners;
As a Candidate for the Board, I attended two of the three "Meet the Candidates" meeting hosted by the leaders of the RESIDENT FORM/CONCERNED CITIZENS group January 16-19. This relative small group's agenda is to Politicize Sun City's HOA and control the outcome of the Sun City ELECTION by defaming the good name and reputation of any of the Candidates that threatens their Political control over Sun City. This kind of misbehavior is totally unacceptably for our retierment community.
As I stated at Saturdays meeting "I did not move to Nevada to be an Amateur Politician". The reason for my Candidacy was the deception by the Board & Management, regarding existence of a Business Plan (THERE IS NO PLAN). For over one year its costing our Community millions of $$. I also stated that my Candidacy partly reached its goal when all the Candidates finally committed to a Business Plan in their goals. 
The question is, will the Candidates honor their commitments? It's up to you the home-owners to hold the Candidates accountable for all their promises. The only way to do this is with the ballot box, SEND THEM A MESSAGE!

Essential Elements of a Good Business Plan


Essential Elements of a Good Business Plan 
A business plan should be a work-in-progress. Even successful, growing businesses should maintain a current business plan.
As any good salesperson knows, you have to know everything you can about your products or services in order to persuade someone to buy them. In this discussion, you are the salesperson and your products represent your business. Your customers are potential investors and employees. Since you want your customers to believe in you, you must be able to convince them that you know what you are talking about when it comes to your business.

To become an expert (or to fine-tune your knowledge if you already believe you are one), you must be willing to roll up your sleeves and begin digging through information. Since not all information that you gather will be relevant to the development of your business plan, it will help you to know what you are looking for before you get started. In order to help you with this process, we have developed an outline of the essential elements a good business plan.
Every successful business plan should include something about each of the following areas, since these are what make up the essentials of a good business plan:

Who is Dwain Kramzar?


Who is Dwain Kramzar? - Dwain Kramzar is a 72 year old Retired Business man from Springfield IL that owned & operated the same Business for 45 years. January 1998 my wife & I chose Del Web's Sun City Summerlin for our retirement Lifestyle as provided in the governing documents. Dwain Kramzar did not relocate to Nevada to start a new career as an Armature Politician!  




Why is Dwain Kramzar a Candidate for the BoD's? There are over 2 million reasons why; In my 12 years as a homeowner there has been many changes in Sun City's Financial Health & governing documents  directly related to the performance of the BoD's acting as Amateur Politician's. 
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.   




What will Dwain Kramzar bring to the table?
Dwain Kramzar brings 45 years of Common Sense Logic acquired from mistakes & successes in the Business World. I am a "Common sense" conservative that believes governing on "What has worked"  rather than governing based on what "should work". I believe the board of directors is a body of elected or appointed members who jointly provide oversight of Sun City Summerlin's professional management.



In Closing: THINK FOR YOURSELF - VOTE FOR COMMON SENSE,
