Capital Consultants Management Corp. Says "No Thanks--We'll Pass"
CCMI, the alternative management company who was chosen by a committee to replace RMI (now First Service Financial), has suddenly withdrawn itself from its desire to be our new management company.
That leaves RMI as the sole company....SO FAR.
...and quite frankly, unless you were born yesterday...
SOMETHING REALLY STINKS !
The obvious question is WHY ?
Why would a firm, after going through such a rigorous selection process, and emerging as the choice of a selected committee, suddenly say...
WE WANT NO PART OF YOU, SUN CITY ANTHEM ????
This one deserves a complete explanation....not from a board who in the past has, in my opinion, been untrustworthy and obviously biased in this matter...
...but from CCMC itself.
This board is causing such havoc in our community, that I believe we now can confidently say...
There is no confidence in their leadership....and it is time to rid ourselves of some of these individuals who have led our community down path after path of financial waste, and now, perhaps the loss of our good name.
There was little doubt that two committees chosen to research a management company alternative, were REBUKED, or more bluntly, thoroughly "made an ass of" in the way they were treated in this selection process.
When this board was TOLD that an alternative should be chosen, they instead made EXCUSE after EXCUSE to look for reasons to retain the current firm.
...and that procrastination became a complete laughingstock among those who have been familiar with their ways in the past, and how BLATANTLY biased they were in this critical decision.
...the latest, being a comment by former President, James Long, when he stated that our current Community Association Manager, lacking in the requirements set forth in terms sent for bid completion and APPLIED to CCMC, would be waived for RMI.
That, ladies and gentlemen, STACKED THE DECK; and was, in the opinion of many, a COMPLETE INSULT not just to those who put hours into research, but to OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY.
I ask any of you....
...if you were placed in a competitive bidding situation...
...complied in every way...
...were found to have been the choice of a qualified group...2 qualified groups...
and then at the last moment...was informed, that...
... a NEW REQUIREMENT would be made of YOU...
...but NOT the other party...
Would ANY OF YOU want to continue spinning your wheels on an organization that obviously USED YOU and showed FAVORITISM to the other party?
Of course not, in the real world, it's called LOSS OF CREDIBILITY.
And this problem, readers, has ramifications that will remain FOR YEARS, a problem none of these board members could have ever considered, for one reason...
NONE HAVE A LICK OF EXPERIENCE in such business etiquette.
We have now developed a belief in the business world of USING others to CHOOSE others, and that will undoubtedly result in a reputation that...
NO ONE WILL HAVE THE SLIGHTEST DESIRE to BID ON ANYTHING in the future.
This group of senseless people have created a nightmare, a nightmare that PROVES the INEQUITY of our bidding system.
Many contractors who believe they might provide an honest and competitive bid, will no longer even consider any such activity with Sun City Anthem, because they would be convinced that any such efforts, would be a total waste of their time.
There is one, of two solutions, to this latest abuse.
The first is to contact CCMC, apologize to them for the BIAS, and ask that they again consider our association for their services.
or, if that is unacceptable to THEM....
...secondly, to actively pursue 2 or 3 other companies to bid on our management services, and PLEDGE that the recommendation of a QUALIFIED committee will be accepted.
Renewal of the RMI contract WITHOUT such action will further enhance the belief that this board has ABUSED the power bestowed on it by our community.
In my estimation this is their last opportunity to PROVE they believe in the committee system.
