50%+ Decisions in Secret
More than half of all Board decisions were made in closed or executive sessions, hidden from the homeowners whose lives they affected. Nevada law (NRS 116) requires open meetings for most HOA business — but the Board routinely found excuses to go behind closed doors.
Rubber-Stamping Management
Instead of providing independent oversight, the Board consistently rubber-stamped management recommendations without questioning costs, alternatives, or consequences. When management said “approve this,” the Board said yes.
A Dozen Secret Home Sales
The Board approved approximately a dozen foreclosure sales in closed meetings with no accessible agenda or minutes. Homeowners had no idea their neighbors' homes were being sold at fire-sale prices — or that it was reducing the value of every home in the community.
Nona Removed Without Due Process
In 2017, Nona Tobin was elected to the SCA Board with over 2,000 votes — the highest vote count of any candidate. Six Board members then removed her in a secret session without a hearing or membership vote.
The same six Board members used the same secret process to evict the Foundation Assisting Seniors, a charitable organization that served SCA residents.
Board Allowed Management to Control Budget
The Board abdicated its most fundamental duty — fiscal oversight — by allowing management to control the budget process with minimal Board review. The result: legal fees that exceeded budgets by 300%, management compensation above market rates, and homeowners left in the dark about where their money went.
