YET MORE BOARD MEMBER CRAZINESS!!!
March 8. 2026:
- At this open board meeting, an owner mentioned a clause in the community's governing documents that allowed for the annual meeting to resume within 30 days, for the purpose of achieving a quorum. This was unilaterally shot down by the sitting president, Jennifer Robinson, without discussion among the other 4 board members.
- Within the ensuing week, multiple dozens of owners voiced their support for this idea. Your voice was delivered to the property manager, and to the board, who in turn forwarded it to the board's attorney. Finally, your voice was taken seriously.
March 26, 2028:
- At a subsequent board meeting on March 26, the board discussed the issues around the election. In an attempt to cast doubt on the validity of the original election, the board's own attorney disclosed that the ballots from February 28, were not at the property manager's office, as they should be. No, instead, the sitting president and candidate, Ms. Robinson, took them home and kept them for a month without telling anyone.
- How in the world was the board president, who was also a candidate at this election, be allowed to do such a thing? And why would her conscience say that this was acceptable? The only logical answers are: it shouldn't, and she has no conscience! She had the ability to know how you voted by being able to open you mail-in ballots. What possible good to the community could have come from that? NONE!!!
- Ironically, the board has decided to cast doubt on the election based on their own incompetence.
March 28, 2026:
- But nonetheless, a group of owners gathered this past weekend, and managed to collect additional votes, as is allowed. On that date, we actually collected additional ballots, enough to make a quorum, and sent them to the offices of the board's general counsel today for processing.
- But since the candidate-president Ms. Robinson has the ballots, how could anyone count them or tabulate them? Hence a BIG problem.
- As of today, the date and time to finish the original February 28, 2026 election has come and gone with no action.
- There is no indication that the board is willing to accept whatever result comes out of this.
- In fact, they wanted to do a completely new election, completely ignore your rights as owners, and proceed to rehash the same flawed process as before.
- Only one director wanted to ensure that electronic voting (completely legal, contrary to the manager's assertion), and was turned down.
March 30, 2026:
- The property manager sent out a notice of yet another board meeting to be held on Friday, April 3, 2026. Among the items on the agenda are the appointment of new directors.
- This means that at least one person has quit the board. No one has said who.
- The fact that the board intends to now appoint its own directors means they now want to IGNORE THE OWNERS AGAIN, not even have a new election, and go along on their merry way.
- In my decades of HOA information, this has to be the most egregious act of self-interest and self-preservation I have ever witnessed from a group of people who are supposed to put the owners' interest first, and theirs second. It's known as a "fiduciary duty," and they can be sued for violating it.
Today:
What is going on around here? Why do these four people get to belittle and intimidate you in their meetings, and then not even allow you to have a say whether they stay or go? Why does the board president have, at her fingertips, the ability to open your ballots and see how you voted. This is a blatant violation of our own policies, and Arizona law as well. But that's ok, it's not the first time she has championed ideas that laid the HOA open to lawsuits.
We deserve better than Robinson, Canada, Fuqua, and Thompson. These people can and should be recalled by the owners, at minimum. Those who have lived here a while remember you recalled board members as recently as 2020.
THESE BLATANT ACTS OF HUBRIS SHOULD NEVER BE FORGOTTEN
