1. At the March 5th 2026 Open Session meeting, Litigation Committee Chair, David Boyd, read a letter from the insurance attorneys that the POA has won every motion. David stated this letter was written by the POA insurance attorneys with their approval to read it to the membership. I have repeatedly asked for this letter and have been told it’s confidential. Why haven’t I received a letter that was approved by the POA insurance attorneys to be read to the membership?

2. On March 17th 2026 our property manager, Elisa Garibay, emailed the Litigation Comm Report to the membership which states, “The court definitively ruled in favor of the POA. Specifically, the Court determined that Mr. Prokhorenko’s Open Meeting Act claim, as pleaded, does not state a legally valid case of action under California law.” David Boyd and the Litigation Committee failed to state that the Court granted Gene P 20 days to amend his complaint. This was the third attempt by our insurance attorneys to have this suit dropped. If we won the motion to drop the violation of the Open Meeting Act a couple of months ago, why are we asking again as evidenced by the attached Motion to drop this same cause of action scheduled for May 20, 2026?

3. Why would our POA continue to spend time and money on a Cause of Action that only amounts to a $500 fee from the Plaintiff? We are wasting valuable resources for $500 because David Boyd and Roy Paulson have a conflict of interest. The LCPOA’s first attempt to have the entire case dropped as ‘frivolous’ was over a year ago at the February 25, 2025 hearing. Our attorneys argued this was a neighbor-to-neighbor dispute and did not involve the POA. Our attorneys stated, “Plaintiff seeks to prosecute what, if true, is a battery action…against the Association. Frankly, if Plaintiff desires to maintain this cause of action against the Association relative to a battery, then the person that allegedly performed the battery is a necessary party as well.”

4. The person accused of battery is Vince Torre who has been a friend of David and Jill Boyd for years commencing with Vince Torre and his wife Cathy Shickora providing boarding for the Boyd’s horses prior to the Boyd’s purchasing and moving to La Cresta. David Boyd is the Chair of the Litigation Committee and using his position on the board to help his ‘friend’ avoid legal expenses. David knows as stated above by the POA attorneys that Vince Torre will have to spend his own funds to defend himself for claim of battery. By putting the interests of himself and his friend above the members, David is proving Gene Ps case. In addition, David Boyd is a witness to the battery claim and his declaration of the events that occurred are in direct contrast to the declarations made on behalf of the Plaintiff and his witnesses. This includes the declaration that Vince Torre yelled for a Chinese member to ‘go back to China’ at the Open Session. These declarations are public record with Riverside Superior Court. While the Court did not make a determination on who is providing the truth, the Court felt it prudent to give the plaintiff 20 days to amend his complaint instead of dropping the case. The complaint has been amended; it was never dismissed. We did not gain ground, we lost ground. Our board is helping Gene P prove his case.

5. If the Gene P lawsuit is frivolous and we are covered by the insurance why are our legal and insurance expenses over $248,575 and mounting?
It’s because our insurance does not cover defamation, battery and threats. Refer to example 1, as stated in the latest 60 Second Wrap-Up for the March 5, 2026 Open Session Meeting, under Litigation. Our board spent $13,908.50 to advise David Boyd, Cal Westra and Rick DeAndero. No one was served and our insurance deductible increased from $5,000 to $15,000 shortly thereafter. Insurance does not cover board members and a member of the Proxy Committee committing defamation. Our board misappropriated almost $14,000 to cover the legal expenses of Cal Westra, Rick DeAndero and David Boyd. This is wrong and our POA is proving Gene’s claim ‘breach of fiduciary’.

6. Rick DeAndero, David Boyd and Roy Paulson are compromising our defense. While the POA insurance attorneys were arguing in February of 2025 to have Gene P’s case dropped as frivolous three directors were part of what Roy Paulson dubbed the ‘La Cresta Working Group’. I was included in this group until I pointed out that
1) having 3 directors from the board is a violation;
2) the ‘La Cresta Working Group’ were scheduling their meetings the Sunday prior to the scheduled Executive and Open Session Meetings. This was intentional. Members of the group that are Committee Chairs gave committee reports at the March 2nd meeting held at Charmain Sauro’s home, and
3) that Mark McLeavy should be removed from the group since he had a conflict of interest due to a legal dispute with his cul- de-sac neighbors. Mark McLeavy was using his position in the group to suggest additions to an article authored by Rick DeAndero and Fletcher Satterwhite entitled ‘Educating the Membership on Cul-de-sacs’. Mark McLeavy had a personal issue that escalated to a potential legal action between him and his neighbors. I did not want Mark or his personal issue involved in the group. That is a conflict. David Boyd, Jill Boyd, Vince Torre, Cathy Shickora, Kim Newton, Rick DeAndero, Roy Paulson and Paul Gaarenstroom are also members of the group.

7. Roy’s 60 Second Wrap-Up is not the official minutes of Open Session Meetings.
Why is our property manager emailing the 60 Second Wrap Up instead of the official Meeting Minutes? It was the suggestion by Liselle, a public relations firm Roy suggested to the La Cresta Working Group. Instead of using the 60 Second Wrap Up for transparency it has been used to tell half-truths, misinform, and to defame anyone who disagrees with the members of the La Cresta Working Group. I have a letter from David Boyd stating that our private conversation was recorded and to have it transcribed. The only other person present for our private conversation was David’s wife Jill Boyd who was sitting in her truck with the windows down listening while David and I spoke at my front gate. Jill Boyd broke the law and her husband threatened me. They both have a conflict of interest. Do we want Jill Boyd on our Communications Committee? Cathy Shickora also has a habit of recording private conversations. She was caught with her phone recording my private conversation through an open window at a Wine and Appetizer Meetup in April of 2025. When my friend called Cathy out, Cathy proceeded to harass my friend while her husband Vince Torre and David Boyd were blocking the exit from the home. Rick DeAndero was behind a wall egging them on. Are these the people we want on our committee’s or on our board?

8. Roy has a conflict of interest. He purchased the property at 39105 Avenida La Cresta to operate a business. That was the intent of Roy and his wife Suzanne when they made the offer. Instead of acquiring a conditional use permit with Riverside County, and the okay from the POA, Roy used his position as president of the POA to put his personal interests ahead of the interests of the membership. Is this why our POA is wasting time removing a cause of action that requires the board to enforce the CC&Rs? If the POA agrees to a settlement that requires enforcement of the CC&Rs then Roy will also have to follow the CC&Rs. Roy currently has 4 violations on this property. When former director Alex Hernandez was left off the title of his wife’s property he was asked to step down since he was not on title. That was a technicality. Now we are in the middle of a lawsuit that the Court repeatedly allows to proceed. It’s imperative that we as a POA follow the rules to demonstrate that our directors and committees are not compromised. It works to Roy’s personal financial benefit to NOT enforce the CC&Rs. Our POA is wasting membership funds to continue a legal strategy that is backfiring and may prove the assertion that our board has violated their fiduciary duty.

9. There are numerous examples of Roy’s attempts to not enforce our CC&R’s. If we do not enforce CC&R violations within 5 years they become accepted and we lose the ability to enforce the violation. That creates a precedent for future violations. That is what Roy Paulson is doing. It works to Roy’s benefit to erode the CC&R’s and claim they can no longer be enforced. That is the claim regarding the manufactured home that was delivered on a chassis and was approved as an ADU. Our CC&Rs are our only protection to enforce any standard on ADU’s or manufactured homes. Now we have a black metal corrugated roof going on the secondary structure of a new home at the corner of El Centro and Avenida Arboles. Was this approved by the Architectural Committee? Does the board approve? This roof is a clear violation of our CC&Rs. Will Roy enforce the CC&Rs?

10.I’m requesting the following;
1) Roy Paulson and David Boyd resign from the Board immediately. They each have a conflict that is hurting our case.
2) Cathy Shickora, Vince Torre, Rick DeAndero, Kim Newton and Jill Boyd be removed from all committees. They also have a conflict of interest and are hurting our case.
3) Collect the $13,908.50 from Cal Westra, Rick DeAndero and David Boyd for the misappropriation of our funds for legal advice on a defamation complaint that was never served.
4) I’m requesting all monies approved by this board for the defense of Rick DeAndero stop, and those monies returned to the POA.
5) The communications committee be disbanded. They never give a report, there are no meeting minutes. This committee is unwittingly helping Gene P prove his case. They are telling half truths to misinform and defame the members of the LCPOA.
