Susan Feels Really Peeved Over Abuse

We concluded with our previous member board meeting on May 19, 2025. If you were not attentive, you might have anticipated the subsequent meeting to occur on August 18, 2025.

However, as I mentioned in the last video, they had already arranged to surprise the members with a meeting on June 5, 2025, regarding a zoning change request submitted by a member of the association. Perhaps this is why they conveniently omitted the member “code of conduct” from the agenda.

Now, consider this: if this were merely the board of directors addressing a member’s request for a zoning change on their property to pursue a business venture and any concerns the community might have, the situation would have been entirely different.

In this case, however, we are dealing with a former board member, Chuck Bennett, who has been running an illegal campground on his property for the past five years and is a close personal associate of the current President of the POA, Mr. Robert Hooper.

Not only has this campground been operating in violation of the appropriate zoning ordinances, but it has also been functioning without the necessary licenses and inspections from the Arizona Department of Health for FIVE YEARS! Furthermore, they actively advertise on a camping website called HipCamp, which promotes a policy that contravenes the Mohave County Campground Rules & Regulations.

The illegal operation of this campground should not have even been included as an item on the agenda of our property association. Yet, due to the close friendship between Mr. Hooper and Mr. Bennett, he was permitted to present and advocate for his illegal business to be approved for a zoning change. The boards decision to stay silent at the zoning hearing is telling. Carol Wilk, the Secretary on the Board of Directors did decide to appear at the zoning meeting and speak. that can be watched here at 3:00:50: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Xh4FbuaHyc&t=1813shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Xh4FbuaHyc&t=1813s

Mr. Hooper made several remarks that could be interpreted as attempts at intimidation.

Both Robert Hooper and Chuck Bennett frequently reference the Dutch Flat Plan and the commercial allowances already established in that plan, which are now part of the Mohave General Plan. However, during the Planning and Zoning meeting on June 11, 2025 the new recommendations for the 2025 Mohave General Plan suggest the removal of commercial allowances along Alamo Road within the Dutch Flat Plan, based on discussions with the community.

Regarding the members’ “Code of Conduct,” the document is inadequately composed and grants the “chairperson” (Robert Hooper) excessive authority to silence individuals. He even wants to police us on the roadways! They actually planned to conduct the meeting on June 5th to review and approve this document and did not intend to distribute a written copy to the members. We only obtained it on June 2, 2025, because several of us had reached out to property management, voicing our concerns about the unethical nature of convening a special meeting to discuss and approve a document that was intended to grant authority to impose fines on members without our prior knowledge of its contents.

The duration of this video is one hour and seven minutes. While I could have condensed it, I believe it is crucial for viewers to witness the toxic behavior exhibited by Mr. Hooper.

He seems to struggle significantly with criticism and cannot tolerate any feedback regarding the Board or himself that does not consist of unqualified praise.

The inability to manage his emotions leads him to react aggressively when confronted, as seen in this video. In my opinion this individual is unfit for a position of authority or leadership. He lacks the necessary skills to handle conflict or to lead by example. His desire is to control and dictate. If he disagrees with your comments, regardless of their validity, you will be silenced.

It has become exceedingly clear to me, after reviewing all the footage, that the property management team and board of directors will express what they believe is necessary based on their audience, rather than adhering to the actual rules, regulations, and guidelines. Observing every video reveals that your identity influences the responses you receive and the treatment you endure. This is probably the reason they prefer not to involve all 2,000+/- members. It significantly complicates the ability to conceal one’s indiscretions when so many observers are present.

Essentially, we are current until the August meeting, unless they unexpectedly schedule another “Special Meeting” to address some absurd personal agenda of the President or one of his acquaintances. I may post one or two additional updates with further clips, just for fun.
