Time to Remember, Learn Lessons & Move-On
by
Jim Mayfield
Former Board Vice President
and
Chairman of the Sun City Anthem Finance Committee
Within
the last year, the SCA community lost two of its long-time activist
homeowners--Bob Frank and Tim Stebbins.
They shared as common
goals the governance of SCA in accordance with the law, both state
and Federal, and promoting the rights of homeowners.
Their
commitment to these principles led to a long-term (over 10 years),
bitter dispute with the faction in the SCA community, led by David
Berman, who didn't agree with them.
Like
most feuds, the original reasons for the feud are only vaguely
remembered or aren't known by those living in SCA today.
Most
homeowners living in SCA today, including myself, didn't live here
when the feud began, but, the divisions caused by the feud
within our community remain self-perpetuating.
The governance
of SCA and the SCA board election process remain adversely affected
by the feud.
When
I served on the Finance Committee and subsequently on the Board, I
got to know both Tim and Bob.
I didn't always agree with their
interpretation of law or the best ways to address and remedy the
violations, but, I never doubted the sincerity of their beliefs
or their basis in protecting the rights of SCA homeowners and open
governance at SCA.
I learned to respect both men and the
benefit to SCA their activism brought to homeowners.
Now
is also the time to learn the lessons resulting from their efforts
and move on to a different governance environment at SCA--one that is
centered in homeowner rights, respecting different perspectives, and
maximizing the quality of life within our community.
I
offer a final salute to Col. Frank for his service to his country, the
State of Nevada and our community.
My sympathy to Bob's
surviving spouse and family.

With regard to Messrs Frank and Stebbins:

Perhaps Mr. Berman cut Law School the day they taught about the First Amendment?
