Don’t forget the $33,000 we paid for the business/alcohol license.

I have been tracking the status of the liquor license. To the best of my knowledge, it still remains in the City Attorney’s office. The normal process of when a liquor license is requested, it goes to the Business License Department (BLD). Once the BLD ensures that all of the paperwork is complete, it then goes to a select group of people in the…[Read more]

Don’t forget the $10 to $15M (yes Million) commitment over ten years to Anthem Community Council. I will try to find out the plan of where that money is to be spent, but that may be difficult, if not impossible.

Mr. Stern,

I have recently obtained two documents outlining the plans for the restaurants’s future. The first document is two pages titled, “General Restaurant Start-Up Consulting Agreement” signed by Paul Perlstein on May 10, 2022. It appears that this agreement becomes effect 90 days before the restaurant opens. The one sentence that caught my…[Read more]

In these trying economic times for all of us, the SCA BOD has decided to increase our quarterly assessments by $32. That equates to an additional $914,432 for CY 2023. So why does this board need these additional dollars?

There are two reasons. First is the approved $10 to $15M over a ten year period provided to the Anthem Community Council…[Read more]

Mr. Anderson:

My first deployment to the Pacific was on the USS Yorktown (CVS-10). The “S” categorized the carrier as an Anti-Submarine Warfare carrier. We left in October 1962 and returned to San Diego in April 1963. My second deployment was on the USS Ticonderoga (CVA-14). The “A” categorizes this carrier as an Attack carrier. We deployed in…[Read more]

There are a number of ways that the board can do to help the Villa owners. The first item that comes to my mind is to cancel the restaurant plan. Just by doing immediately saves the homeowners $300,000 which would be more than enough to assist the Villa homeowners. This restaurant project is a failure from the beginning, which is acknowledged by…[Read more]

My reply to Mr. Anderson – I have never seen or read so many lies in one post as you did. I do not have the time to detail each of those lies, but let me inform your readers the most egregious one. Mr. Anderson suggests you read the ACC CC&Rs which are posted on their website. Please do. And if you do, you  will discover that the title of this…[Read more]

Anyone who is thinking of voting for Steve Anderson needs to seriously rethink their vote. It was Mr. Anderson and this current board who voted to provide the Anthem Community Council (ACC) $15 to $20M over a ten year period of time for landscaping/maintenance improvements. Why did the board approve this massive expenditure? Because, according to…[Read more]

Gary – Send me an email at nelsonorth@cox.net, and I will provide you with all of the information you are looking for. I have lived here since 2001.

Mr. Anderson:

I am shocked and amazed at your response to my comments. You may not have realized it, but you have admitted that you are the leader of an oligarchy with no interest or consideration on the financial status of the SCA homeowners. You state that you do not want to spend $5,000 because, you believe, there are many residents who…[Read more]

Mr. Anderson:

What happened to the restaurant survey that you promised during your election campaign? I suspect that the results would show that, yes, the vast majority of homeowners would like to have a restaurant, but that vast majority would not want for us homeowners to pay for it. But spending our money has never been a concern of yours,…[Read more]

Adding to Rana’s comments, I too wish to add my congratulations and appreciation to Steve. I met with Steve back in September, and voiced my concerns about both Anthem Council and the Audit Committee. Since that meeting, we have been in communication, and both of us have expressed our viewpoints. I was somewhat surprised, but absolutely delighted,…[Read more]

RESPONSE TO ANTHEM OPINIONS ENDORSEMENT TO REELECT RICHARD POPE

On January 19, Anthem Opinions published an article endorsing Richard Pope to be reelected in our upcoming elections. I have a different opinion, and this article articulates my experiences with Mr. Pope, and outlines the facts that support my position. The January 19 article opens…[Read more]

It should be noted that Anthem Council is asking the six HOAs that comprise AC for $15 to $20M to complete this maintenance/repair project. Given that SCA provides 52% of AC’s budget, we, the homeowners, will have to pay between $7.5 and $10M. This is an outrageous sum of money for plants and bushes.

I agree 100% with Peter’s comments, but this…[Read more]
