My Nightmare at Stagecoach Trails at Santa Fe Ranch Property Owners Association-What I Wish I Knew Before Buying

The Treasurer

At present, the role of Treasurer is occupied by Sharon (Horton) Kelly. I think she has been serving in this capacity for over four years.

According to our Bylaws, the responsibilities of the Treasurer are outlined as follows:

I believe the current Treasurer does a commendable job of reviewing the figures provided by Buck Reynolds, Inc. and ensuring they balance. However, I feel she does not question or audit any of the information.

I have repeatedly asked our representative at Buck Reynolds, Inc., Melissa Layton, and Sharon Horton Kelly, the elected Treasurer of the Santa Fe Ranch Property Owners Association, two straightforward questions. Unfortunately, I am still awaiting their responses.

  1. The total number of lots/parcels in the Santa Fe Ranch Property Owners Association.
  2. The total number of lots/parcels that are behind on dues.

I have even offered $100 to any owner who can obtain these figures in writing from Buck Reynolds or our Treasurer.

In summary, I do not believe the Treasurer is intentionally causing any harm. However, I also do not think she is contributing anything beneficial. Simply reviewing what is presented and balancing the numbers is insufficient.

When your Treasurer and Property Management team are unable to provide the fundamental numbers that underpin your financials, it should raise a significant red flag for everyone!

We have one remaining board member to discuss. Debi Verkamp, the Board Member at Large. They do not allow her much involvement, so I do not expect that blog post to be particularly engaging.
