The Ray Grant Show

on KDWN, AM 720, Sunday evenings from 7:30 to 8 PM has continued to feature HOA Issues and Solutions Program as moderated by Anthem VOICE’s Bob Frank during the past few months.

The December program will be tonight, December 11, 2011 at 7:30 to 8 PM.  Ray Grant and Bob Frank will be interviewing
Nevada Assemblyman Lynn Stewart (District 22) 

and Nevada State Director of  Business and Industry Terry Johnson

Assemblyman Stewart has earned great respect from Nevada homeowners as a champion in support of legislation and services to help protect HOA unit owner property rights.

Director Johnson was appointed by Governor Sandoval to lead the Business and Industry Department.  One of his major responsibilities is to directs the activities of the Real Estate Division, led by Administrator Gail Anderson, where all NV Homeowner Association policies, procedures and justice processes are managed.

During tonight’s December 11th program, the focus will be on matters of concern to Nevada HOA unit owners and what improvements can be envisioned for the future.   Discussions will focus on the increasing numbers of HOA board abuses of authority and the many concerns raised by the FBI’s 4-year investigations into Nevada HOA fraud and abuse.

KDWN is at AM 720 and live streams over the Internet at this link:

Sound clips of the December 11 program will be mounted on this site in the near future.

The October 9, 2011 program featured Sun City Anthem HOA unit owner Tim Stebbins and Calico Ridge HOA unit owner Dr. Gary Soloman, PhD.   

Tim Stebbins responded to questions about critical HOA management problems and reported on his experiences with Nevada Real Estate Division failures to provide fair and balanced support services to both HOA unit owners and HOA board members.

Dr.  Soloman reported on his professional research and experiences concerning health problems caused by abusive, dictatorial HOA Boards and explained his rationale for putting up billboards on the freeways around Las Vegas such as illustrated below.

TWIMC,

We own an Arlington (2337 sq.ft.) with dual York HVAC units.
They are in need of a fall checkup before winter sets in.
Does anyone have any experience with a reputable company? 

Regards,

Richard Inglefield

Anthem Today Blog is featuring a topic named “Sun City Anthem Named to HOA Hall of Shame–Again”.  See this link:
http://www.anthemtoday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2335

The “Hall of Shame” web site is located at this link:
http://hoaadvocate.homestead.com/index.html

Readers should review the topic and comments on Anthem Today, and then consider the following:

———–

The key issue on this case is “how do the fence extensions LOOK, from a neighborhood perspective?” The purpose of our ARC governing rules is to try to ensure our community stays looking “good”, and that should be the bottom line for such disputes.

If it is true that a dozen neighbors in the near vicinity do not object to the way the fence extensions look on both sides of her home, and if there are other examples of similar fence extensions elsewhere in SCA, a variance should have been granted by the ARC and Board to the homeowner.  No hassles for the member, and no fines would be appropriate.

It occasionally happens that someone on the ARC,  RMI staff or Board gets annoyed at a homeowner because they do not dot the i’s and cross the t’s perfectly, and they want to punish them for doing something “without full permission”.

It is the board’s “fiduciary duty” to this community’s shareholders to help them solve problems–even when the individual is mistaken or difficult to deal with.  Fiduciary Duty has nothing to do with “the corporation”–it is about the people who are the “shareholders” of the corporation.

This case  sounds like the “Directors” (not “the board”) who are individually charged with personal, fiduciary duties, are violating the Nevada Statutes, and they could be creating a serious SCA litigation risk (and possibly personal liability) for their misconduct.

If there are attorneys in our midst (particularly Ms. Small and Mr. Gardner who are serving as Directors) who agree or disagree with my conclusion, it would be good to see it in writing. We all want to be saying the right things about the laws and fiduciary duties.

Those Directors trained in the law are most likely to be personally challenged to explain their actions–before this is over.  As Ms. Small has proclaimed at board meetings before, she has special/higher  responsibilities  to the community because of being a member of the Nevada Bar.  Our community should expect the SCA directors to resolve this dispute or explain (without compromising privacy) why the SCA rules are being fairly and equally applied in this case.

Bob Frank, former SCA Director

Since the Board terminated the SCA-HOA message board resource this week, Anthem VOICE has activated a “Community Questions” blog category for member convenience.  Hopefully the other blogs will activate similar services, and all readers will be well-served.

Any SCA member can send an email to anthemvoice@cox.net with a request to post a question of your interest and we will put it up under “Community Questions” with your name.

Other members can then respond and/or comment on the posted questions and comments as they wish.  We will moderate the postings and responses so the new service category is  a useful place to find non-political homeowner-focused questions and answers.

Please feel free to send us email recommendations on how else we can serve homeowner interests.
