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.
