Re: January 12, 2011 - RESIDENT FORM MEET THE CANDIDATE MEETING

Fred, I'M SORRY that you are offended, this was not my intention. My motivation is that an informed Electorate is the only solution for dysfunctional Board of Directors; the question is what choices do we have to inform the Electorate?

Please don't through the baby out with the bathwater!

Mr. Wagner, maybe my comments in blue might clarify the intentions of my correspondence. My main concerns is the dysfunctional leadership due to the growing Voter apathy; apathy is a direct result of a small political group taking control of our HOA by dominating the committee's, therefore, gaining control of our management, communications, finances and elections.

I would hope you will keep an open mind and remember the homeowner is the solution, not a small political group.

2. The Election Committee's relationship with the Resident's Forum and the 'Meet the Candidates' night has evolved over time from 3 meetings to only one this year.  These changes were taken after thoughtful consideration.  If you have a desire to change the format of either the issues controlled by the Election Committee or the Residents Forum, then I would recommend you submit your name to either group to join them and participate.

Mr. Wagner, Election Committee,
Our community's Election Process was seriously damaged at the Resident Form "Meet the Candidate Meeting" last Wednesday. This could have been avoided if the McCanna/Bjonerud group would have been held accountable in the past. On January 26, 2009 I brought  to the attention of the Board the blatant case of Electioneering by a small group of residents in control of the Residents Form/Concerned Citizens and publications The Sun City News You Can Use/The Village Voice and the use of US Mail to attempt to win votes in an election by being insincere, unscrupulous and slanderous against their fellow neighbors. These blatant acts are in direct violations of our governing documents that the Board has the responsibility to uphold.  Again on Wednesday, October 14, 2009 I registered three Complaints to the Board, complaint #3 dealing with Electoral fraud. The Board chose to ignore this formal complaint therefore violating all of Sun City's home-owners rights and are in violation of the Master By-Laws, NRS 116 and Federal Laws.

[SCBuzz] STAN BJONERUD'S FRIENDS CONSIDER HIM TO BE INADEQUATE.

SUMMARY
The Subject is correct.  
Bjonerud proved himself to be inadequate with his threats on August 19, 2010  to the Sun City Summerlin Board.  This created need for another effort by some former Board members ..... his backroom supporters. 
This did not prevent the Exec Dir from being dismissed with a parting gift of $128,000, plus leaving his son as an employee who it has been pointed out is higher paid than his contemporaries, and perhaps not as well qualified.
Meanwhile, at least one of the accusations against Steiman has been investigated and he has for the most part been exonerated.   I have received most of the documentation that I have, from mysterious "drop offs" at my house, and through the mail.  It is obvious that since Directors such a LeVasseur, Cullen, and Bachman, came on Board they have created working conditions for some of our most capable employees that are untenable and created needs for humongous expense in legal fees.
Now please read on, but be mindful that I do have very solid evidence of the Steinman\employee investigation which is so "secretive" it is not stored on Sun City property. 
As readers will recall, on 19 August 2010 Stan Bjonerud in collaboration with Sheila McCanna
delivered what can only be summarized as "threatening document" to all of the Board Directors in Sun City Summerlin. The bottom line being ...... "Do not permit President David Steinman to dismiss the Executive
Director; and remove him from office of President, or they will on August 20 release some very unsaviory documents to a Shiela McCanna mailing list of over 2,000 plus they will be included in Bjonerud's the Village Voice."   This non adjudicated act of extortion was ignored.  
On 31 August, 2010 six former Sun City Summerlin Board members, including Frank Beers, and Gary Conrath who are current candidates to be elected to the Board again submitted the following to the Board:  
 Dear Board Members:
 
 As former Board members, we are deeply concerned by the manner in which the Board has handled the Ron Winkel matter and other events during the past five months. We believe that the efforts to remove Mr. Winkel as Executive Director have been driven by the actions of President Steinman who has been acting out of personal animosity to Mr. Winkel as well as a desire to remove Mr. Winkel in order to have Ms. Kate Carroll become Executive Director of the Association.
  
 We believe this animosity began a year ago when then Director Steinman
vociferously argued with then President Post and Mr. Winkel that Ms. Carroll had to be named as acting Executive Director when Mr. Winkel went on vacation:  In that meeting Steinman, incorrectly and adamantly declared that only a licensed Community Association Manager (CAM) could act in Mr. Winkel's absence and became highly incensed when both then President Post and Mr. Winkel rejected his views.
  
We have good reason to believe that shortly after he became President of the Association this year, President Steinman informed a fellow Board member that he intended to do everything he could to get Mr. Winkel removed as Executive Director and have him replaced with Ms. Carroll. We believe that President Steinman viewed the investigatory actions implemented by the Board both before and after the dismissal of the prior Human Resources (HR) Director as a golden opportunity to accomplish this purpose. We know that after this dismissal occurred, President Steinman improperly and without authority ordered Mr. Winkel to appoint Ms. Carroll as acting HR Director and ordered him to provide her a significant salary increase because she was "having financial difficulties" and would be doing two jobs.

  We- know that since April, 2010 the Board-has-engaged in use of executive sessions having to do with Mr. Winkel and that the majority of those sessions were not properly noticed before they occurred. We know that on several occasions in those executive sessions the Board took actions that are directly contrary to NRS 116.3185(3). Specifically, we are aware that in executive session the Board voted to place Mr. Winkel on administrative leave and that the Board voted to make Ms. Carroll Interim Executive Director. We also know that Mr. Winkel was placed on administrative leave for three weeks and that during this period President Steinman instructed staff to falsely inform residents that Mr. Winkel was on vacation. We are also aware that President Steinman has improperly and without authority directed billing statements from the investigating attorney to be sent to his home rather than to the Administration Office.

 Dear Board Members: August 31, 2010     Page 2
  
  We are aware of four specific allegations made against Mr. Winkel and presented to the Board. We believe that three of those allegations are without merit. We believe that with regard to one of them, the Board was unduly influenced by a belief and concern that the Association could be fined hundreds of thousands of dollars for having undocumented workers on its payroll. We believe that President Steinman and one or two other Board members actively encouraged this concern. We believe that if the Association fully complies with the ongoing investigation and properly completes the paperwork required that there is a good chance that fines may well be avoided.
  
 While we believe that Mr. Winkel acted inappropriately in forming an Home Owners Association (HOA) management firm without first getting prior Board approval, we can find no evidence whatever that during the time this HOA firm was in existence any action by it harmed the Association in any way. Nor can we find any evidence that any action by Mr. Winkel with respect to it harmed the Association in any significant way. We are aware that recently a newslett'er for an HOA managed by this firm was found in an Association folding machine and the Board has assumed it was there because Mr. Winkel was using the machine for his private firm. We are unaware, however, that the Board has made any attempt to discuss this matter with Mr. Winkel or to consider it in any way a controlling matter in the determination to remove Mr. Winkel
  
  We are also aware that the Board is considering an agreement with Mr. Winkel whereby his leaving the Association will be presented as a voluntary decision on his part. We know, and you know, that is simply false. We know that the Board threatened to seek removal of his license if he did not leave under the terms dictated by it. We are gravely concerned that the Board decided to act in this fashion, particularly since we believe that if the Board had actually attempted such an action it would have subjected the Association to a major lawsuit which it may well have lost.

  Unfortunately it appears that all of the board members are complicit in the violation of NRS116 as it relates to agenda notice of action items and open debate before a vote is taken. We will dispense with a complete listing of these items as you all are aware of what you have done. In addition there is the question of improperly noticed executive committee meetings both before and after such meetings. While we lack evidence, we are concerned that the Board has not caused proper minutes to be prepared and approved of all of these executive sessions. The number of instances of violation appear to be numerous and of significance. Under Nevada law a fine up to $1000 may be levied for each instance of violation. (NRS
 
 Dear Board Members: August 31, 2010       Page3
  
  We are also aware that an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) statement has been filed against President Steinman alleging sexual harassment. We are also aware that five Board members are aware of and have heard the content of a voice mail that President Steinman sent to the Association's executive secretary. That voice mail has content that is extremely embarrassing to both President Steinman and Ms. Carroll. We believe it is more than sufficient to demonstrate that President Steinman has a relationship with Ms. Carroll that goes beyond that which is appropriate between the President of the Association and the Interim Executive Director of the Association. The failure of the Board to take any action to date on this statement after being made awaPe of the voice mail and other information is very unfortunate and may put the Association in a bad light as the EEOC investigation proceeds.

 A formal EEOC complaint could result in sanctions and sizable financial liabilities against all involved and the association. Given President Steinman's past role as a City of Las Vegas City Councilman and of the Las Vegas Planning Commission we believe that, unfortunately for Sun City, ihe media might be inclined to be more interested in these allegations than under normal circumstances. Of course a story involving an age restricted community and these allegations would be titillating to some. We are hopeful that we can avoid such unpleasant publicity being brought to bear on our community. Such publicity would make it extremely difficult to recruit a highly qualified candidate to replace Mr. Winkel and would almost certainly affect home values.

It should be obvious to the members of the Board that President Steinman's behavior as President is causing serious problems. We would like to state that we have a complete lack of confidence in President Steinman in his present role in this community as President, Director, and Chairman of the Architectural Review Committee (ARC).


 Dear Board Members: August 31, 2010           Page 4

The solution to these problems is for President Steinman to immediately resign
from all of his roles in this community and spare himself and this community
from a very unpleasant series of events. We believe the Board must be proactive
in assuring that President Steimnan resigns. Absent President Steinman's
resignation we will take the following actions: we would first file a number of
resident complaints dealing with the above items with the Board to be heard at
the September meeting of the Board, second we would call an open meeting of the
Association to discuss in depth the items outlined above and any others that are
pertinent and third we would file with the Commission for the Common Interest
Communities and Condminium Hotels, Nevada Real Estate-Division (CICCH)
complaints on the Boards illegal actions. Beyond these steps we are prepared to
proceed in any legal manner available to complete our objective of restoring the
proper and legal functioning of our board and the return of proper management for staff.
We will cease our protests on the foregoing subjects upon Mr. Steinman's resignations.
He should resign on or before September 7,  2010.

(SC-SCOOP) Re: What is fair?

Mr. Hall, the only Dog I have in this fight is well defined in SCSCAI's governing documents, for the purpose of owning, operating, maintaining and preserving facilities which enhance the recreational, health, safety, social and leisure interests of its members, as well as for the purpose of exercising all of the rights, privileges and responsibilities as set forth in the Sun  City Summerlin Declaration of Covenants, 
Conditions, Restrictions, Assessments, Charges, Servitudes, Liens, Reservations and Easements for Sun City Summerlin (Master Declaration). 

As you are well aware of, it is apparent that there is a blatant disregard of the governing documents by the Board of Directors and their attitude is that they are not accountable to the Home-Owners. In the past many unit Owner's have pointed out the failed direction of our HOA only to be treated with utter contempt by the past Board of Directors. This is the direct results of a strangle hold on our community's communications, management and the Board of Directors by a small political group, Bjonerud/McCanna,

Mr. Hall, without communications and a combined focus on the 2011 SCSCAI Board elections we don't stand a chance of rectifying the conditions in Sun City, this must be the first priority. This election is all about the message of unity to the community. We all must check are ego's at the door.
