Conflicts Of Interests?
I have been accused of conflicts of interest concerning the trumpets working group project by David Berman, Patti Shock and Mike Dixon. Those are knowingly false statements.
These are the very last people in SCA to attempt to claim conflicts of interest by anyone else! They are clearly trying to change the subject from conversations about their failed leadership and poor direction of a Trumpets Working Group that only produced one viable lease candidate for consideration by the Board!
It is also a waste of everyone’s time for them to attempt to cast the blame or suspicions for their failure on anyone else. We must not let these individuals get away with trying to cover-up their failures by hiding behind the hard work of the committee members–who were simply following the directions they had received. (For more about that, review the files included below.)
So, to be perfectly clear about their outrageous claims of my possible conflict of interest, I will say again that I previously attended a Vegas Valley Angels Small Business Seminar a few years ago. I recall that Mr. Bill Goff was a speaker at that event. I did not have any kind of business or personal relationship with Mr. Goff at that or any subsequent time. I have only commented that Mr. Goff impressed me some years ago as someone to respect as a highly successful Las Vegas businessman. I did not know that he was submitting a proposal for the lease, and it would not have meant anything–if I had heard something. I met Goff in person for the first time at the TWG tasting event at his Boulevard Cafe. There was/is absolutely no conflict of interests.
Unfortunately, individuals like Shock, Berman and Dixon are the kind of people who would attempt to distort that simple seminar event encounter a few years ago into claiming I have a “conflict of interest” concerning my role as a Director on the restaurant lease negotiations.
Rubbish! This is not worthy of further conversation by any person with common sense, or a sense of fair play.
Bob Frank, SCA CAI Director

There may be times when residents take issue with the manner in which Bob Frank presents his case. but NEVER, and I repeat, NEVER, has anyone ever questioned Bob Frank’s HONESTY, except this latest disgusting and FALSE attack by the poisonous pen of David Berman.
Any RATIONAL resident that has known Bob Frank would never cast doubts on this man’s honesty and those that despise him hate his attempts to bring the GOOD OLD BOYS to their knees.
So many of those GOOD OLD BOYS are now doing nothing other than make every attempt to get this community to support his removal as a board director, yet not one of those GOOD OLD GUYS seem to bring up the disgusting manner in which he was removed as Vice President.
Just in case you forgot, Mr. Dixon’s ugly display of power almost caused a riot because so many people in that audience couldn’t believe how disgraceful his actions were as the President of this association.
Will anyone forget the police being called by Mr. Dixon for no reason whatsoever?
Will anyone forget the reprehensible actions of David Berman with his comments and the chair incident?
Is everyone so naive that these people, as well as some others, notably Charles Davis, Bob Sansing, and the latest recruit, Frank Blaha, never miss an opporunity to make every effort to show their distain for Mr. Frank?
Simple answer, EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE KNOW THAT IF YOU RID YOURSELF OF BOB FRANK, you now can get back to the business of RUNNING THIS COMMUNITY IN A MANNER THAT SUITS THEIR PERSONAL AGENDAS, rather than what might be appropriate for the community in general.
Bob Frank asks questions. That’s what intelligent and concerned people do. Does he take things to extremes at times? You bet, but I can tell you that if the shoe was on your foot, and you took the verbal beating he has taken the past year from the power mongers in this community, you too would fight back in any way as well.
GOOD OLD BOYS KNOW WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU AND LAUGH AT ANY SUGGESTION THAT DOES NOT AGREE WITH THEIRS. Listen to you? Why? They walk this community like pompous peacocks looking down on residents who have the AUDACITY to question any action not in agreement with their own.
Finally, what baffles me the most is the close alliance of the GOOD OLD BOYS with an admitted FORGER AND DISCIPLINED ATTORNEY, David Berman, who was BARRED FROM PRACTICING LAW IN MASSACHUSETTS for a one year peiod, and for some unknown reason, never seeked to reinstate his admission to the Massachusetts Bar Association.
Is there any one person in this community that would retain a person with this background as their attorney or for that matter, believe him in any way?
For those that hold this person in such high esteem, the old adage, “You are who you associate with” is the first thing that comes to mind.
