MEMBERS SPEAK to the issues of LCPOA governance

The LCPOA liabilities Issue

The Transparency Issues

Issues Members should be awared of 

Financial
Lack of Transparence and Irresponsible spending 

1

​Lack of  Financial Disclosure 

  • Many financial statements have not been provided 

  • Member document requests remain unfulfilled per Civil Code 5210

  • Potential compliance violations of corporate transparency with Davis-Stirling Act requirements

  • Members denied access to review necessary financial records to verify justification for proposed dues increase 

2

Legal Expenditure Transparency

  • Funds are being depleted on legal disputes the Board has initiated against members and members have filed lawsuits for alleged Board violations.

  • Transparency Disputes: Legal expenses have increased due to management’s refusal to provide requested financial records and documentation.

3

Reserve Funding Requires Scrutiny

  • Lack of Supportive Data: No engineering studies, reserve analyses, or capital schedules have been provided to justify the recent discussion for a dues increase.

  • Unjustified Reserve Targets: The Board is pushing for 50%+ reserve levels, despite road maintenance historically covered by the annual operating budget. 

​​​

4

 Competitive Bidding Practice  

  • Lack of Competitive Bidding: Significant projects are being awarded without multiple vendor quotes, bypassing standard business practices.

  • Fiscal Stewardship: The absence of a competitive bidding risks inflated costs and poor financial management.

5

 Discretionary Project Spending

  • Ineffective Spending: Over $100,000 was spent on equestrian crossing with signage that no longer functions, is largely unused due to safety concerns on Avenida La Cresta.

  • Questions remain whether the Calle Centro/ALC crosswalk cost benefits  the member majority or primarily serves the private  commercial business interest of Board President Roy Paulson.

  • Horse Crosswalk

Majority of Board Misconduct 

1

 Road Maintenance Obligation for vacated Cul-de-Sacs

  • On November 6, 2025, the Board majority passed a Resolution to prohibit any further discussion of cul-de-sac maintenance, despite member objections.

  • The Board’s refusal to maintain all roads  contradicts the Association's responsibility of vacating 128 private roads, including 81 named cul-de-sacs.

2

Mobile Home 

  • Mobile Home has been installed after obtaining approval by Board Majority in La Cresta.

  • The approval violates our governing documents LCPOA  Guidelines which has brought about grave legal consequences citing CC&R violations and decrease our properties value.

  • Majority of board handle Mr's pauson's vilation with speial procedure but comman community regulation. 

4

 LCPOA “Double Standard”: Higher Dues for Reduced Services?

  • Campaign Inconsistency: Members are questioning the contradiction between current Board actions and 2025 campaign promises made by Roy Paulson and David Boyd.

  • Unjustified Dues Increase: Despite successfully cutting cul-de-sac maintenance, the Board is now proposing a 20% dues increase, directly contradicting their campaign promises.

5

 Governance Structure and Committee Participation

  • Discriminatory Appointments: Committee selections appear to prioritize political alignment over merit, violating fair and equal opportunity for all members to volunteer service.

  • Targeted Exclusions of Experts:

    • Director Ghafouri: Removed as Treasurer 

    • Steve Brown: Removed as Chair of the Governing Documents Committee, 

    • MDM Auger: Qualified election oversight application rejected despite professional experience as a Poll Worker and Inspector of Elections.
