​​Horse Crosswalk & Signage

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.

Majority of Board Misconduct 

When a Board of Directors engages in misconduct or fails to act with the care and transparency required by law, they place the entire community at catastrophic financial risk. Most critically, Directors and Officers (D&O) Insurance policies frequently contain 'Conduct Exclusions. Failure to uphold fiduciary duties and follow CC&Rs—specifically regarding unauthorized mobile home approvals, the abandonment of cul-de-sac maintenance, and undisclosed reserve fund withdrawals—places the entire community at catastrophic risk. Such misconduct can trigger ...

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. 

3

Conflict of Interest

  • Persident of Board - Roy Paulson running acqutrisan hourse training bussiness without condition use permit

  • 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.

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