I voted to REMOVE HIM. I’ve witnessed his lack of respect personally toward his fellow homeowners during meetings and his lack of professionalism. If we can’t work together than he doesn’t belong in a position of direction. We don’t need a tyrant, we need a compassionate and friendly representative of our homeowners who actually lives here full time.

I do not agree with Peter Webb's statement about being in compliance with topics discussed during executive sessions. I have reviewed a handful of Exec Session meeting minutes against CA Civil Code 4935 and there appear to be MANY violations.

Another violation of the law that which this BOD exposed the members to is the new "rental rules" that starkly violates California Civil Code section 4740, and potentially exposes the community to over $250K liability

Lynn C. On our board has blocked all emails. Has anyone else noticed?

I am appalled by the lack of honesty coming from leadership of the BOD. The relocation of the women's tee box happened before our eyes and Peter Webb misspoke about even being aware that this was taking place. He knew that he could not float an explanation that would fly so he simply invented a fiction that he and the board were unaware of this construction project. He also put forth a ridiculous dollar figure for the cost, namely $1900. Magically he knew what it cost but was not aware of the project.

Sadly Terry, the most recent email postcard sent to support Mr. Webb, continues to misrepresent and diminish the owners who joined forces to initiate the recall. To describe this as an ANONYMOUS cabal of owners is simply untrue. A recall of this kind requires the petitioners to identify themselves by name, address and signatures all of which are verified by the HOA before the recall can proceed. So sorry that it doesn't require accompanying photos like the Peter Webb testimonials, but it is what it is......hardly anonymous.

I did receive the ballot today and I will send it in in a couple of week. I did vote to recall Peter Webb but I do not know how our vote will be protected especially when our names and addresses are on top left of the envelope and many of us have voiced our opinions recalling Peter. Where the ballots go and who keeps them secure and who do we trust that they were received? Anyone knows?

Takis, don't wait to send in your ballot. The recall is administered by an independent, professional, third party corporation. All ballots mailed in go to them, in this case, The Inspectors of Election. They will also moderate the actual meeting on December 6th and will receive any ballots cast on that day. Hope this put your fears to rest about the integrity of this process.

I just read an email that was sent by Hank Kras that was sent to what appears to be the entire Desert Princess homeowners distribution list, and besides the fact he is no longer on the board and is blatantly abusing his access to a confidential list, I am pretty shocked to see him promote and defend his pet project involving an expenditure of over $5 million for landscaping.

Here is the problem with that comment. Our CC&R's require that the physical layout of all flora be pursuant to the original plan. About 7 or 8 years ago during the drought, the appropriate government agencies ordered the reduction of water use. At an annual meeting shortly thereafter, the Board told the members that it was impossible to follow the CC&R's with respect to the trees, bushes, etc. because of the mandate by the government. The Board asked for a vote of those present at the annual meeting and received the homeowners consent and understanding. This was informal and in no way changes the Boards obligation under the CC&R's. The water shortage is what created the desert landscape on the golf course and around the condos. The Board also indicated that it needed a new landscape plan primarily because of the water issue and the aging of our plant life. The Board undertook the study and under the direction of Hank Kras, the plan is finally nearing completion. It took 5 years to get a complete plan with Covid-19 adding two of those years. This will not go into effect without a change in the CC&Rs. As a result a vote of Homeowners, not just the Board, is necessary to implement the plan. Whether you vote for it or not, and none of us have seen it, so who knows, is your prerogative. I think it will come down to paying additional costs, fines, and violation of government agency rules for water or paying for a new landscape plan. Also, consider that everyone who has put in desert landscape may have to have it pulled out because it violates our CC&Rs if the modification to the CC&Rs fail. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
