Not Completing Verification Forms Could Cost You

Sun City Anthem Board Member
Addresses Age Verification
Requirement

A recent plea was made by the Sun City Anthem Board of Directors for residents to complete and return their age verification form.

This requirement is necessary to maintain the "Age 55+" status of those living in our association.

There have been a number of concerns that have been raised with regard to this issue and the Sun City Anthem Board has determined that residents who fail to adhere to this requirement will be subject to an initial fine of $100 and a CONTINUING VIOLATION PENALTY of UP TO $100 PER WEEK until the form is completed.

This requirement has met with some controversy amongst association members and Anthem Opinions was asked by a reader for some clarification as to the vital importance of completing this form.

Accordingly, Director Jim Mayfield has asked that we publish this statement:

States Mr. Mayfield:

"At the agenda review meeting, I asked the CAM to report at the Board meeting the ramifications of non compliance with the 80% requirement for receipt of the age survey.  The most important ramification is that failure to comply will cause SCA to lose its age-restricted status and allow homeowners at SCA to rent to and allow persons with children and others who do not meet SCA's age restrictions to live within SCA.  This would not be good!

Dick, I have no sympathy for people who do not live here full-time and use the status as an excuse for not performing the obligations of an owner in our community.  The Board hears this excuse for everything from exterior maintenance violations, to complaints about why they shouldn't pay assessments for periods when they are not in town, to why their assessments are late, etc.

The Spirit is an official publication of SCA.  It is sent monthly to every owner at an address each owner specifies.  The survey requirement is also on the web site and sent out in multiple E-Blasts.  My view is that SCA can only go so far to insure owners stay informed and to facilitate them to fulfil their responsibilities as owners.  At some point, owners have to be responsible for the obligations of ownership.  If they don't, the SCA Board has a fiduciary responsibility to take action to impose a consequence for their neglect of ownership responsibilities."

In order to avoid incurring any financial penalty, if you haven't yet completed this form, just click on this clink, quickly complete it, and drop it off at Anthem Center at your earliest opportunity.

    After reading the information about the occupancy survey, taking the personal time to wonder why Mr. Mayfield thinks it appropriate to steeply fine homeowners in lieu of his and his fellow board members' profligacy, I printed the form to which you linked, filled it in, and took it to the office.

    The administrative assistant told me it was the wrong form and handed me a somewhat simpler form to fill in.

    I thought you would like to know that you have apparently linked to the incorrect form.
