COTO
DE CAZA's CZ MASTER ASSOCIATION INTENT TO PETITION TO RECALL MITCH HILL JUNE,
10 2006 Despite the
many artificial road blocks created by the CZ Master Association Board of
directors during the 2006 District Delegate Elections (including tampering
with the election process, distributing wrong and misleading information, and
using weapons of mass disinformation), and
the election of the 2006 Board of Directors, there was enough community
discernment, that incumbent George Thagard was defeated, and two independently
–minded directors were appointed to the 2006-2007 CZ Master Association
Board of Directors. If you
attended the First 2006-2007 board of directors meeting, you realize that
Public Safety is Coto de Caza’s Tar Baby.
For Coto de Caza residents and delegates who care about public safety,
it is imperative that Yocham and Zipperman have the tools to do the job they
were elected and promised to do: Place
public safety at the top of the list of the CZ Master Association Goals and
Objectives for 2006-2007. By adding a
minimum of a third independently minded director, you would have given Yocham
and Zipperman such tools.
NOTE: Contrary to the spirit of the recently enacted law, Varo/Mezger/Hill did not even wait to consult with the new board members and went on record (June 2006 CZ Master Newsletter) stating that the CZ Master Association will have to deal with Delegates, Cumulative Voting, Quorums etc. - instead of simply direct elections! Yocham, Zipperman, the message being sent is that your vote (and neither Coto residents’) count. Certain concerned Coto residents have gone on record (see comments below) to do whatever it takes, including suing the associaiton, if the board proceeds with its reckless approach to electoral process. We say, it is more cost efficient to change the board's composition now:
Therefore,
we urge you to sign this petition and ask your district delegate to commit to
vote for a recall of Mitch Hill (or VARO/MEZGER) NAME
CZ DELEGATE YES/NO

John: I hope we won't see more games; but nothing would surprise me. Maybe the defeat of George Thagard will send a message to Varo/Mezger. I sure hope so.

It is true that our current incompetent CZ Board and suppliers with vested interests in the status quo would no doubt like to delay direct popular elections in Coto as long as possible to maintain the current corrupt system which is easily manipulated as occurred in 2005 when the current incompetent CZ Board, including George Thagard, running for re-election, pulled the Sean Larkin bait and switch. The fact of the matter is that when the laws change impacting our governing documents, we need to change our governing documents to reflect the law and I can prove it.When I was on the Board certain Federal Fair Housing Laws were in conflict with our governing document. Dick Fiore our then attorney came to the Board, told us our documents conflicted with the law and that we had to make revisions. There was no choice in the matter. And, it may very well have been our current attorney Jim Harkins, then a junior attorney assigned to our account by Fiore who actually made all the changes. There was no vote of our Members and/or any screwing around.The law was the law and we had to conform. I would contend that direct popular elections for HOA's are now the law of the land in California effective July, 2006. The old Delegate, Quorum, Cumulative Voting corrupt system is dead and should be buried once and for all. Harkins should just go into our governing documents and remove any language that does not conform to the new law requiring direct popular elections effective July, 2006. It is just that simple.I own three other properties involving HOA's and all have direct popular elections and it works just fine. If the current incompetent CZ Board and their suppliers play games on this issue and we don't have free and unfettered direct popular elections in 2007, I for one would donate monies to mount a court challenge of any election that is not held in accordance with the new law. So, Varo/Mezger/Hill/Thagard team either get with the new program or tell it to the judge. We are sick and tired of all the corruption and incompetence we have seen under your regime.

Joe,
While
I am hesitant to remove board members from office, if any board member is
not attending 25% of the meetings they are ineffective and merely taking up
space. It does appear that Mr. Hill had one issue on his plate which was to
convince the other board members to open the Oak View/Oak Knowl gates. I regret
that the legal agreement with Toll Bros. and the Oak Summit sub association
did not legally force future board members to do their duty and keep CZ
Master a private community. Our attorney and Board never considered that any
CZ Master board members would renege on their duty to protect CZ Master from
public encroachment. Right now we have a board who has opened the gates in
south ranch which allows anyone using the public trail access to CZ Master.
Hopefully this will be stopped before a prescriptive easement is in place.
Jan
Happy
to sign; but I think that Mitch Hill needs to do the honorable thing and
just resign. And, by the way, I believe that other Board Members
should ask Mitch to resign because he has missed so many Board Meetings.
I would be saying the same thing about any Board Member who cannot
fulfill the obligations of the job. Missing 25% or more of Board
Meetings as was the case with Mitch when last we counted, is actually
cheating the community. Mitch got the Oakknoll/Oakview gates opened,
where he lives, in violation of a signed legal agreement exposing our
Members to unnecesary liability. Mitch has participated in
all the fiascos along with the rest of the Varo team. For these things
and many others Mitch Hill along with Bob Varo and Jerry Metzer should be
removed from office sooner than later. However, if nothing else,
Mitch's Board attendance record requires that he step down.
It is just not fair to the community for us to have a part time Board Member
who shows up to vote for fiascos; but is not really there to do the heavy
lifting required to manage CZ. Joe Morabito
P.S.
Varo & Company have hired numerous high priced Consultants because Board
Members have not rolled up their sleaves and CJ Klug is just incapable of
managing the day to day affairs of our Association.
