Sun City Anthem Board
Treasurer
Panics into Sending
Mass Email Criticizing Recall Petition
Resident Responds to
Treasurer Stating
"There's More to the
Story"
Many of you might have received a blanket email from Sun City Anthem Board Treasurer, Forrest Quinn, attempting to dissuade individuals from signing the Recall Petitions.
We have problems with Mr. Quinn's
analysis and BIASED statements which we believe were clearly intended to INTERFERE with the
Recall drive as per NRS 116.31036.
In addition we also became aware that
the Sun City Anthem Activities Director, Danielle
Bartle, took it upon herself to forward this correspondence to EACH CLUB PRESIDENT.
Sun City Anthem
regulations specifically state any individual is BARRED from utilizing a Club
list for anything other than that club's
activities.
This action, in our opinion, also
violates the NRS statue applying to INTERFERING with any recall
effort.
Here is the email

Subject: Response to Recall Petition
Good Afternoon Club Presidents,
Please share the information
below with your club members. I have attached a pdf as well in case it is
easier to disseminate.
Thank
you!
Perhaps Ms. Bartle might
answer these vital questions.
Are you
personally responsible for sending this email?
Were you
ordered by any particular individual to write this correspondence, to send it to
Clubs, and if so, by whom?
As we made
you aware in a previous article, Ms.
Bartle accidentally sent an email to Rana Goodman, referring to her as
follows:
"see Rana's request below, now maybe she will go back under her
rock"
These combined actions SHOULD RESULT IN HER IMMEDIATE
TERMINATION.
We also received a detailed
response to Mr. Quinn's correspondence from resident, Barry
Goldstein.
Here is the
text of his rebuttal to Mr. Quinn's analysis.
"In response to some of the claims made by
our treasurer, regarding the positive variance of the transition to self
management the following is what was left
out:
In the first half of 2016, a large number of employee positions were not filled. This led to lower costs for employee medical and pension contributions.
A more accurate evaluation would have been to provide numbers from a fully staffed management team.
We were constantly told the assessment increase was due to the future repair of walls and fences.
Now we are told it was to replenish the
shortfall caused by the over cost to repair Liberty Center.
The first estimate to repair Liberty Center
was $250,000.
The second estimate was $500,000.
Then the board went silent and the cost was
then announced at almost $2,000,000.
Why was the cost so high?
When the problem was first discovered, the
board decided to delay the repairs.
If repairs were done immediately there
would not have been mold, and damage to the inner building might have been
minimal.
To replenish $1,000,000 to the reserve fund would have cost each unit owner $150, if done as a one time assessment.
Now we will pay for the Liberty Center in
perpetuity because it was done as an increase in our assessments.
The current board treasurer left out the over budget transition costs from 2015.
So his assessment is not an apples to
apples comparison".
Perhaps Mr. Quinn, in his obvious zeal to
protect the political machine he has now become an integral part of, can answer
not only Mr. Goldstein's remarks, but WHY he feels
his and/or Ms. Bartle's emails do not violate NRS
116.31036...
...and as a Board Officer with a responsibility to uphold association rules and regulations, if Ms. Bartle's cumulative actions, warrant immediate termination?
...and as a Board Officer with a responsibility to uphold association rules and regulations, if Ms. Bartle's cumulative actions, warrant immediate termination?
Until we receive a VALIDIDATED response
from Mr. Quinn, we urge you to use your common sense and sign the
petitions.

Two good years to compare would be 2015 and 2017.
2016 was the Liberty Center repair we had no one working in the building that worked directly for us.
Am anxiously awaiting if Forrest Quinn will respond to the retort made by Barry Goldstein and whether he or the rest of the Board, condone the actions of Danielle Bartle.
Let's face it, if we get no response to answering Barry Goldstein's logical comments, it would all but shoot his credibility down the drain.
And condoning the Bartle emails to Clubs by not investigating the source and reasons as to why it was sent, or even remaining silent on the issue, would more than prove CORRUPTION on the part of the Sun City Anthem Board of Directors.
Barry Goldstein shines once again!!! His financial analysis appears correct and truthful.
Mr. Quinn missed one of the most important items regarding the cost of self management........more staffing will be added in the near future.
That issue was clearly discussed in the June board meeting!
To put things in prospective.......The queen "B's" annual salary is more than the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court which is $263,300!
Thank you Dick for your blog and allowing the truth to be told in our community.
Here’s a list of the president and his cabinet salaries….most of them including the president do not take a salary.
Trump donates his to charity.
I guess in some opinions they do as much work as Sandy S for the 7500 homes in SCA.
And yes the president’s cabinet has a staff. There are 309,350,000 million people in the US that the cabinet/President work for, not a SCA of 7500 people and all make less than Sandy S makes in a year except the President.
