Mother's Day
2025-05-11
`God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers.” ― Ruyard Kipling

May this Mother’s Day be a reminder of the profound love and dedication you bring to your family. As you honor the mothers in your lives, may you also be honored for the role you play in raising and guiding your children. May your hearts be filled with joy and your homes with laughter. May you continue to be a source of strength, wisdom, and unwavering love, inspiring your children to grow into kind, compassionate, and successful individuals. May God bless you and your family with health, happiness, and a life filled with love and joy. May your sons and daughters always honor you and your leadership in the family.

February Open Board Meeting
2025-02-11 15:30 - 16:30 | Clubhouse, 909 Richland Rd #200, SAN MARCOS, CA, 92069, United States
An open board meeting is a meeting where members of a board discuss community issues in front of the public. Open board meetings are important for transparency and accountability.

Transparency: Open meetings allow the public to see how the board is making decisions.
Accountability: Open meetings ensure that the board is acting in the best interest of the community.

In contrast, a “tyrannical board of directors” refers to a group of individuals who exert excessive control, dominate decision making processes, ignore dissenting opinions, actively assassinate the character of individuals who speak out against them, and creating an oppressive atmosphere where owners feel their voices are not heard, essentially acting like a dictatorship or tyranny.

Key characteristics of a tyrannical board:

Dominating presence:
Board members consistently override others’ opinions, including owners, and push through their own agenda without open discussion.

Lack of transparency:
Deliberately withholding information or not providing clear explanations for decisions made.

Intimidation tactics:
Using aggressive behavior, personal attacks, or threats to silence dissent.

Disregard for dissenting views:
Actively suppressing alternative perspectives and not considering input from other board members.

Manipulation of the agenda:
Strategically controlling meeting topics and timeframes to limit debate.

It is virtually impossible for a board to maintain transparency and support accountability when the meeting is adjourned within 15 minutes and nothing is discussed. An example of this is when the maintenance director states his “report” was emailed to the directors and asks for “approval” without reading or sharing any information with the owners. Another example that this current board is actively and intentionally destroying transparency is how they refuse to answer questions, address issues, or even acknowledge receipt of the correspondence from owners.
As this board continues to misuse of community resources, misrepresent HOA finances, refuse to be transparent, and resist accountability, it comes closer to being a true dictatorship with no intent in acting on behalf of the association. It is up to the owners to bring this community bake to cohesiveness, truth, and prosperity. IT IS UP TO YOU.

Board of Director Meeting
2025-01-14 15:30 - 16:30 | Clubhouse, 909 Richland Rd #200, SAN MARCOS, CA, 92069, United States
A homeowner forum precedes the board meeting and allows owners an opportunity to express themselves. The board is limiting each person 3 minutes with a maximum time for the forum of 15 minutes. The board is not obligated to respond or take action on anything brought forth by owners. Owners can not speak during the board meeting unless added on the meeting agenda by the President.
It is the belief of this editor that the current board is consistently violating the California Brown Act/Open Meeting Act. “Transparency and the Open Meeting Act” refers to the concept that the Open Meeting Act, a law requiring government bodies (including HOAs) to conduct their meetings publicly, promotes transparency by allowing the public to access information about decision-making, ensuring accountability. Owners are supposed to be able to see and hear how decisions are being made, rather than them happening behind closed doors. This includes hearing reports and information that is being reviewed by the board they use as the basis for their decisions.
The board’s lack of transparency and lack of accountability is the main ingredient for the divisiveness within our HOA. Attend the board meetings, voice your concerns, and become a part of a movement to bring harmony and ethics back to our community.
