Important Information Regarding HOA Board

---

Greetings,

 I wish to thank everyone for the support in improving our community by standing with me on voting this board out! Once again, you all became part of a great team to send a strong message that we're fed up with these high HOA fees and that we demand better. And without us all teaming together, it wouldn't have been possible. Again, I thank you all! 

Jack Amari, Steve McLaughlin, Joan Rafferty, Rick White, and myself are all running for the board as a team to represent this entire community in reducing our HOA dues even more and to put safeguards in place in the bylaws to ensure any board of directors that may come in after us can't impose high fees on us homeowners against our will ever again. We all ask that you all please vote for all five of us to make this all possible. We will need at least 21 votes to meet quorum to be get elected and to hold our annual meeting on the 15th. But we ask that all of you who voted to remove that now former board please vote for all five of us to succeed them. 

Campaign pledges from all five of us:
Examining the master insurance policy to be sure it's accurate without any waste in it. A change in bylaws and/or CC&Rs will be needed.
Reducing the HOA dues by as much as possible by eliminating waste in the budget. Starting with not overpaying vendors.
Improving safety and security in the community by strengthening the neighborhood watch and installing LED lighting and cameras on the buildings.
Changing the bylaws to require every decision to be made involving money to require a community wide vote to approve it. Not by a board vote.
A cleaner community through stricter enforcement of trash disposal - installing cameras at the dumpsters.
Changing the name of the meetings from Board Meeting to Community Meeting and holding them in person at the clubhouse instead of Zoom. With the meetings being occasional breakfasts on weekends and BBQs. Let's get to know each other better as a community.
Changing the bylaws to expand the board of directors from five members to seven members.

Be sure to let us know of any additional ideas you'd like us to include, questions, and concerns. Continued thanks to all of you for being a part of the team to take back our community and to ensure we all have a say in how our community is run. 

Sincerely,
Mick
Unit 213

We have recently been receiving anonymous information on our doors, in emails, etc. These communications have been spreading false information in an attempt to defame the candidates for the new board.  Below is a response from Jack Amari to the false accusations labeled against him.  BTW - old board members Savana Cray and Florence Hamel have been seen posting these anonymous flyers.  Here is Jack's response:

If I might add this email that was sent references the fact that MSS does not wish to work with a new board and after looking it over again there is nothing in that letter that states that.

Additionally with regard to the lawsuit that was attached I sued Kowalski and against my wishes I had to name Cactus Flats because they hired Kowalski when my unit number 206 was burnt down from a fire that started in 106 because they made an electrical splice in the wall without a box. 

As to the judgement you will see it is for attorney fees that were never paid by Cactus Flats and they were never billed to Cactus Flats so this email is a flat out lie. It is obvious this came from a prior board member that is hurt from being rightfully removed. 

Yes there is a judgement against me only because I sued for loss of rents because Kowalski took almost 2 years to get my unit completed due to mismanagement after the fire and the attorney I hired to sue was unaware of the law called The "economic loss doctrine" which is a common law rule prohibiting plaintiffs from recovering purely economic losses (like lost profits or repair costs) in tort law (negligence) if there is no accompanying personal injury or property damage, forcing them to rely on contract law. It ensures that contractual remedies, not tort lawsuits, govern business disputes, particularly in construction and product liability cases.

With regard to a new property management company one has already been identified and they are working on a proposal. I spoke with Lezlie earlier and she assured me that they would not leave us high and dry and would be working well beyond April 30 2026 to ensure a smooth transition. I applaud them for stepping up and following through. 

One other thing I forgot to mention is when Florence and company approached me about this I told her that if she can show me that Cactus Flats paid this bill I would reimburse Cactus Flats for it but she said they did not pay it because the attorney forgave the debt.

We are in the process of finding a replacement property management company and MSS did clarify that they will go beyond 30 days if necessary and not leave us high and dry.

In the propaganda that was put on people's doors by two of the fired board members, disparaging remarks were made about the current candidates.  One such remark was that some of us seldom or never attend the public board meetings.  The fact is the same can be said of members of that board, and also,  it doesn't matter. Attendance at public board meetings is not a requirement to be on the board.
