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.
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.
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.
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.
-
Tsun-I Wang: Application for the Architectural Committee denied despite formal architectural education.
