Yet...Another Cafe V
Lifeline ?
The Sun City Anthem Board Book agenda was just published, and yet another "Agenda Item" is to be voted on this week...
" Approval of an amendment to the lease contract with
Anthem Restaurant Partners regarding hours of
operation"
We did some research when we learned of this and found out
that in addition to the restaurant being suddenly closed on Sunday, July 19, 2015....for "equipment
issues"... (sure)...
...they were also closed on Sunday,
July 12, 2015...
...and no one can
provide any information as to their having permission to do so on the
July 12th date.
In the absence of such permission...which must be board approved... no
record of any such vote exists...that is
simply...
BREAKING THE LEASE
!
And that leads us down the path to us believing that this
proposed amendment will involve...
Allowing Cafe V to
suspend
all Sunday
operations
Now...how this is going to increase
revenue, perhaps someone out there can give us some a reason as to HOW...
...and what
economic textbook was studied in order to come to that conclusion
!!!!
Let's get all of
this straight !
Over the past two years, the Sun City
Anthem Board has conceded more to this restaurant than the Confederacy did to
the Union at the conclusion of the Civil War !
We have
allowed them...
...to reduce
hours.
...to cut Monday
service entirely.
... to pay a paltry
rent of $1,000 p/month having reduced it three
times.
...granted a
$20,000 loan at below the prime rate.
...allowed them to
operate and advertised them without insurance.
In addition, we now
know they are being sued by an outside company, named
"Pinpoint
Publications".
We also have an association attorney
being paid BY YOU AND I for a "utilities dispute" between Sun City Anthem and
them.
And now...after all of
that...
They
now want more....
...substantially cutting
their service again ????
Some hallmark of restaurant success,
huh?
Really beats the heck out of the
argument that a restaurant enhances property values with that track record,
doesn't it ?
But...following the belly laugh at this
latest outlandish request....
Believe it or
not...
There is an individual on the Sun City
Anthem board who actually is willing to GRANT YET ANOTHER CONCESSION.....by
having it placed on a formal agenda for a full vote by the Sun City Anthem board
!
As as yet, that individual has not been
identified, but our suspicions are that Jean Capiluppo, the Board liason
to Cafe V...is the one who is
leading the charge to allow this damaging change.
After all, she has
NEVER voted to curtail ANY ASSOCIATION EXPENDITURE when it comes to Cafe
V !
We will know the outcome of that Board
Agenda Action Item on Thursday, July 23, 2015 when
the board meets to decide on that request.
...and...
We will report which board member(s)
DID and DID NOT vote to
grant that additional concession.
In the meantime, between now and
then, we HIGHLY SUGGEST that you write each board member with your feelings on this
matter.
You can obtain their email addresses by
clicking on this link:
...and if
possible, attending the Board Book meeting on Tuesday
morning at 9:30am at Anthem Center and the Board
meeting on Thursday, at 1:30pm at Freedom
Hall.
As to our opinion, the very thought of
granting even one additional concession to an organization that has "used" our association's generosity to
the extent they already have, is beyond making any attempt to rationally
understand this proposed action.
It's time to tell this
board....
...they were elected to represent the HOMEOWNERS...not...a TENANT who has abused every opportunity given to them by Sun City Anthem !
...and don't forget to share your
thoughts with us as well.
Anthem Opinions
Administration
I feel that any and all board members who added changes and voted for them should be removed from the board.
If Cafe V can't abide by the original lease, he should be closed down for not living up to his lease!
Maybe it is time to recall a few board members!!
We have given EVERY member of the Sun City Anthem Board of Directors an opportunity to explain their actions in the matter.
Just once, I would like to have heard from a resident who supports their actions...but...NOT A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL HAS DONE SO.
What does that tell you about their commitment to "representing the people" when they make decisions that ignore their pleas for common sense and instead, needlessly waste association funds?
Would any of them spend their own money to finance a place with this type of track record? Better yet, is there ANYONE OUT THERE who would invest their money in a business the members of this board OWNED and OPERATED ?
My guess is that would NEVER HAPPEN.
Why? Because bureaucrats are experts at saying "do as I say, not as I do"...
..and my goodness, that certainly fits this group comprised of inexperienced "know-it-alls" who never seem to consult those who have had the knowledge that allowed them to have had successful careers.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if JUST ONCE...some of them could actually say...
" I MADE A MISTAKE...I'M SORRY...AND...I WILL DO MY BEST NOT TO DO IT A 2ND TIME"
My experience with those incapable of ever admitting an error, has almost always resulted in a lack of communication resulting in ineffective leadership skills...that that seems to fit the description in this case.

Interesting info on the restaurant.
What really scares me is that this board has enough power to now go to self management without a vote of all the homeowners.
Just hope that they are bonded when we do that, or they will steal us blind.
Would ABC Channel 13 "Working for You" get the Board's attention on an HOA Hall of Shame report ?
