Susan Feels Really Peeved Over Abuse

We concluded our last discussion by waiting for a response from Buck Reynolds, Inc. about the methods employed in the audit process and the subsequent modifications to the directory.

I requested Debi Verkamp, the Board Member at Large (whatever that title entails), to reach out to the management company and inquire about those matters.

The Email Exchange:

I would like to respond to some of the comments made by Melissa concerning the audit.

1. “One of the major items that we review every year during our annual parcel audit”.

If they are indeed performing an annual audit, how could they overlook an ownership change that took place in 2014?

2. “We are seeing a number of Quit Claim Deeds and Treasurer Deeds, both of which are never reported to the POA”.

How are new owners expected to inform the POA? There is no website, no information packet provided by realtors or the management, nor the POA. How exactly are owners meant to know whom to notify and how?

3. “Another item that arose over the last year or so was the number of combined or divided lots that were arising, mostly from landowners trying to avoid paying multiple assessments.”

It is outrageous for Melissa to suggest that the lack of records for all the splits is due to owners wanting to shirk their responsibilities, rather than acknowledging the shortcomings of Buck Reynolds, Inc. This is shocking, yet not unexpected. They frequently post updates about Mohave County Planning & Zoning Meetings, so they should be aware of these applications for parcel splits. If they are not, then why are they sharing information about Mohave County Planning and Zoning, and why is it so selective? Who makes these decisions?

Now, let’s delve into the modifications made to the directory following the audit performed by Buck Reynolds, Inc.

First, I want to acknowledge their efforts in implementing the necessary changes.

• Out of the 33 missing lots from the June 2025 directory, only 18 remain unaccounted for.
• From the 56 lots that previously listed the former owner in the June 2025 directory, just 24 still show the previous owner and address.
• They have rectified some mailing addresses for the 272 lots that had discrepancies compared to the Assessors office. However, it remains unclear whether these adjustments were made at the owner’s request or were a result of Buck’s audit.

On the other hand, some of the changes made were not advantageous for the Association.

• Among the 56 lots that had the previous owner and address from June 2025, 8 were updated to reflect the new owner’s name, yet the mailing address still reflects the previous owner.
• For two (2) of the lots, despite the owner information being updated, it is still inaccurately listed.
• In one instance, while they identified a missing lot, they somehow overlooked three other lots that are combined under one APN. I am baffled by how they managed such a blunder!
• One lot that had the correct owner and mailing address was altered to reflect the owner and mailing address from 2014

Many of these changes could lead to yet another unfair Board of Directors election. Do you believe your Board of Directors will take any action to rectify the damage?

Next, we will summarize the voter fraud that transpired during our 2025 Board of Directors election and how it is poised to happen again in the 2026 election.
