PRISONER ABUSE OF ANOTHER KIND

Homeowners' Cries for Help Go Unanswered

May 13, 2004

By Dan Ackroyd



5. Corporation attorneys now were the ones who assisted them in taking over  
  The LAKE DON PEDRO OWNERS' ASSOCIATION is a property owners' association located outside La Grange, CA consisting of approx 8,000 acres/3,100+ lots, varying in size from 1 to 10 acres, depending upon if your property is in Mariposa or Tuolumne County.

Most owners WERE absentee (many sold after 1998 election) and have been victimized for years by a small group of local residents who illegally took control in 1997. Every election since has been conducted by the man just hired at $5,700/mo for management services. Board is currently collecting approx $100,000 in wrongfully increased assessments: $100/yr in violation of BYLAW $70/yr cap!

Corporation attorneys now were the ones who assisted them in taking over in 1997. PAYBACKS WITH OUR MONEY! SPECIAL INTERESTS! LDPOA is a goose laying golden eggs and 3,100+ members PAY FOR FEED! Now they are rewriting CC&Rs & BYLAWS to make legal what they now illegally doing!

4. Damm, this is Invasion by The Body Snatchers.  
  This is extremely disturbing.

Our POA has used judicial foreclosure in the past, but I did not realize until this morning when I read on our community's website at http://www.pinemountainonline.com/wboard/bulletin.htm that one of the candidates running for our board of directors is a member of CAI.

Damm, this is Invasion by The Body Snatchers.

3. Ask Senator Ducheny to include the smaller homeowner associations as well  
  To Comment #2 : We need SB1682 to include all associations

Edgar Zazueta, Senator Ducheny's legislative assistant said SB 1682 will be voted on the floor next week and will then go the the Assembly Judiciary Committee. He also said that they will do amendments when it goes to the committee and requested that homeowners send in their requests to Senator Ducheny as soon as possible.

If you publish your request, other homeowners will be made aware and can follow up on your concerns as well.

2. We need SB1682 to include all associations  
  The board of directors of my homeowners association recently levied a special assessment. They claim it's for insurance and deferred maintenance. We just had an increase in dues of 20% for the same reason.

The special assessment is 25% of our gross annual operating costs. When I pointed out that they were in violation of CC1366, the president came back claiming it was an emergency. There was no emergency mentioned in the text of the assessment letter, and we were given 6 months to pay. Based upon this experience,

I'd say they can justify any assessment simply by claiming that it's an emergency. I'm sure that is not the spirit of CC1366, but still, I understand they can get away with it.

We need SB1682 to include all associations, not just those with 25 or more units.

1. Please post the address of the fund that has been setup for the Radcliffs  
  The correct spelling of the gentleman whose house was auctioned off is Tom RADCLIFF. The bill that passed the hearing by the Senators last week was co-authored by Rico Oller and Senator Ducheny. She presented it on the floor.

I asked the Radcliffs' if they had received any financial help from a fund their attorney set up for them and they said they hadn't. These people need some help with attorney's fees, etc. in order to try and regain their home. Only a dollar or two from everyone would help.

Please post the address of the fund that has been setup.

Thank you,

Elaine K.
