Susan Feels Really Peeved Over Abuse

Jon Centanni is currently serving as the Vice President. This title was conferred upon him by the other board members, excluding Debi Verkamp. An Executive meeting was meant to take place right after the 2025 election, but for some unknown reason, it did not occur. By the time it finally happened, decisions had already been made regarding roles and responsibilities. Additionally, he oversees the management of our road maintenance schedules, repairs, documents, and more.

Before becoming Vice President, he held the position of Member at Large/Sargent of Arms. In that role, he was also tasked with managing our road maintenance schedules, repairs, documents, and other related duties. He has been a board member for over four years, if I recall correctly.

According to our ByLaws, the responsibilities of the Vice President are:

I don’t have a lot to say regarding Mr. Centanni’s role as Vice President. In fact, during the meeting in August 2025, he mentioned that his focus is solely on roads. Therefore, that is where my attention lies.

On August 24, 2025, I reached out to Mr. Centanni via email seeking clarification about what they refer to as our road grading matrix. This document is intended to guide us on the schedule for road grading. Furthermore, I inquired about the map that is said to indicate which roads have undergone grading. I will simply include the email and maps here.

I have yet to receive a reply from Mr. Centanni. I have also sought clarification from other board members, but only Debi has responded. Naturally, she has no answers since they do not permit her to engage as an active board member.

Dear Mr. Centanni,

I am looking for clarification regarding the Matrix established for the maintenance of our association roads and the grading schedules. If any of my inquiries are not clear, please inform me so that I can rephrase them more clearly. Thank you in advance for your swift attention to my concerns as the Vice President of the Association, who is also responsible for our road maintenance scheduling, document preparation, communication, and other related tasks.

1. The 2024 Road Grade Matrix includes a column titled Week To Do. I require clarification on the data present in the labeled sections of this column:
   a. The initial section, which is unlabeled, is numbered 16-24. What do these numbers mean?
   b. In the section labeled Northern Area Primary Roadways, some roads only indicate a month. When during the specified month is the road scheduled for grading?
   c. The Butch Cassidy & SFR Maintenance Project section also lists only a month. When in that month is this section scheduled for grading?
   d. The Northern Area Secondary Roadway section similarly contains just a month in the Week to Do category. When in that month is this scheduled for grading?
   e. The Southern Area Roadways section again shows the numbers 16-24 in the Week to Do column. What do these numbers refer to?
   f. The Southern Area Primary Roadways section lists only a month. When in that month is the road scheduled for grading?
   g. The Southern Area Secondary Roads section also shows just a month. When within that month is this work to be completed?
2. What does the designation in the W/O # category mean?
3. The road grade completed map consists solely of blue highlights indicating that the roads have been graded. Please provide the specific dates when these grading activities took place.
4. When was the most recent update and verification of the Matrix for accuracy? If managing the role of Vice President while ensuring that the road grading documents are presented in a clear and comprehensible manner for all owners is too challenging, it may be worth considering the involvement of members to form committees or utilizing Debi, who currently has no assigned tasks or responsibilities.
5. A document categorized as the Road Grading Schedule in AppFolio, titled April 2025, contains the following details.

a. What defines the Southeast Quadrant? None of the sections marked on the grid matrix indicate a southeast quadrant.
b. The monthly road matrix lists a person’s name alongside road names; does this imply that this individual is responsible for grading those roads each month?
c. After the completion of road grading, do you conduct an inspection to verify that the grading was performed correctly?
d. What is the monthly grading schedule? Considering the substantial contract and the number of roads involved, there should be a schedule that the grader and the association follow. Why is this schedule kept confidential? It is clear that emergency grading and weather conditions may disrupt the schedule, but such occurrences are rare. Therefore, a schedule should be anticipated and followed by the selected company.

This is the road grading matrix.

One of these is the map that is claimed proof of roads completed that I refer to in item number 3.

After enduring a two-year drought, we finally experienced a significant downpour. I feel thankful for the rain, as the desert was in dire need of it. However, I feel the image showcased serves as a warning about the potential consequences on our roads if they are not adequately cared for by a responsible grader and Board of Directors.

Next, we will address the Treasurer. I’ve sent two emails inquiring about the parcel count they utilize. This appears to be a challenging question, as neither the property management company, Buck Reynolds, Inc., represented by Melissa Layton, nor Treasurer Sharon Horton Kelly have provided that information yet.
