Our attorneys advised us not to disclose details about the mediation that will occur next week. We pray this will put this situation to rest.

December 16, 2023

We are still awaiting confirmed details regarding a mediation. In the meantime we would like to wish everybody a safe and happy holiday season.

After spending hours at the assessors office and leaving them totally baffled on this as well as the three title companies we went to, they all confirm that Pronghorn Development LLC owns the club house and the amenities per the warranty deed (see second picture).

We will explain each picture as they were explained to us:

First picture is the picture the Konkel’s posted but they didn’t show where it states that the accuracy is not guaranteed. No portions of the information should be considered to be, or used as, a legal document. Users should independently research, investigate, and verify all information.

The second picture shows the warranty deed where Pronghorn Ranch HOA convey to Antelope Village LLC on 12-19-12 signed by Luther Kraxberger.

The third through fifth pictures show a corrective special warranty deed where Antelope Village LLC convey to Pronghorn Development LLC on 12-20-12.

The property was conveyed to Pronghorn Development LLC on 12-20-12 and this was the latest warranty deed the assessor’s office and the title companies could provide.

We Want to Clear Up A Misunderstanding

A complaint was filed with the court in an attempt to remove the office of Declarant and the Declarant-run board from Pronghorn Ranch HOA.

Once the complaint was filed with the court, the judge required plaintiffs to show cause to validate a lawsuit, and summoned the defendants to show cause so the judge could decide who is in the best position to be successful with a lawsuit. The hearing is an attempt to ward off a lawsuit.

The Defense requested a mediation meeting. The judge allowed the request and both sides are attempting to set up a date for the meeting at this time. Mediation is another attempt to ward off a lawsuit.

October 27, 2023

The CC&Rs require mediation between defendants and the plaintiffs prior to a lawsuit. Judge Napper issued an order to mediate. No date has been set to proceed as of yet. We will keep you posted with updates.

Clarification of the Lawsuit

All of this information is documented in public records.

This lawsuit is an attempt to remove the office of the declarant and the declarant-appointed board members. The suit is not interested in the homeowners themselves. Additionally, there are 5 other defendants named in this suit: Antelope Village LLC, Pronghorn Development LLC, Ben Snyder Jr., Robin Snyder, and Luther Kraxberger. Any monies from the HOA may be in defense of the declarant and the board however, legal action is not seeking money from the homeowners association. The CC&Rs dictate that the board of directors can use HOA funds for their own defense unless they are found to be negligent in their duties.

We're happy to address questions and concerns, just stop by.

The Actual Truth

At the homeowners meeting last night it was mentioned that the lawsuit is against the HOA. The truth of the matter is that lawsuit is an attempt to remove the position of Declarant and the members of the board who currently hold the position of president, vice president, and secretary treasurer. A successful conclusion of the lawsuit will turn the HOA over to the homeowners in its entirety, allowing us homeowners to vote on all matters. 

We also want to address the two untruths against the two women that were singled out in the crowd at this meeting - one was falsely accused of theft (of her own property) and the other was accused of not being a member of the association and was threatened to be removed from the meeting while being asked “do you want to go to jail again”, insinuating that she had previously been to jail, which is not true. She was also asked to provide the deed to her house, which she has lived in for 5 years. 

It was unacceptable that a non-member personal attorney made such threats and accusations at a members meeting. The untruths were said in order to discredit these ladies because of their concerns and trying to help the community they live in. To publicly humiliate these ladies was terrible and uncalled for. It showed the true character of the Declarant and manager of our community.

Consider this...

Standard of Care 11.1.3 Per the CC&Rs

$67.25 (dues) x 1400 (homes) = $94,150 monthly

$94,150 x 12 months = $1,129,800 annually

So if they are collecting this much money $1,129,800 a year, why can't we get things properly maintained throughout our community?

Such as...

a. wallpaper in pool room and men's restroom

b. lock or key pad for patio gate and garden pool

c. chip in walkway inside clubhouse (tripping hazard)

d. handicap ramp to go into the fireroom from entryway - our disabled members currently have to go outside and around to get to the lower level

Why are we charged by the association to install a flag pole in the front yard to fly our flags when we can mount a flag pole on the front of our house to display our flags at no cost?

Why should we have to pay to display our Patriotism to our country?

We believe the board of directors has not been acting in the best interest of the homeowners with regard to the IRS ruling posted below.

AZ Case Law 224 Ariz. 42 Paragraph 34 ("this court will not permit the Association to use the declaration's amendment provision as a vehicle for imposing a new and different set of covenants, thereby substituting a new obligation for the original bargain of the covenanting parties.")

For example: the Declarant changing his voting power from 3 to 20 through the amendments.

9/19/23 Declarant's Fireside Meeting at the Clubhouse

Our group attended.

The Declarant Ben, Robin - Ben's wife, Barbara - operations manager, Ben's personal attorney, and Bryan from Hoamco were present. Overall, it was a presentation of how and why the HOA has evolved. Mainly, two realtors spoke about signing a contract when one purchases a home in the HOA; the purchasers agreed to abide by the CC&Rs. What they did not tell you was the contract is between the individual buyers abiding by the CC&Rs and the HOA enforcing the rules of the CC&Rs fairly and consistently on the buyers. Homeowners get warned and fined for CC&R violations by the HOA. When the HOA violates the CC&Rs, and does not investigate the complaints against it, the only remedy is through the courts by way of hearings and/or lawsuits. We heard complaints against the HOA and character witnesses for the Declarant.

Nothing was settled at this meeting.

As there has been no response from the declarant/board's attorney, we have moved on to the next step of this process.

Our Response to the Fireside Email Sent Out on 9/14/2023

BRAVO! BRAVO! We have to give them credit!

We believe the email that everyone received on 9/14 is just a PLOY to get everyone to go to this fireside meeting. We have never EVER had a fireside, and we've had NO live meetings in the last 4 years. Now, because the truth is coming out, we are getting these meetings - meetings we've been requesting for the PAST 4 YEARS. We believe they are only wanting you there so that they can attempt to change the narrative and gain sympathy because of the packet of TRUTH everyone received.

WHY did it have to come to THIS to get live meetings again? They realized that the community is UNITED and that we want the things that should have been happening all along. We, as a community, have had ENOUGH! Too many ugly truths have been brought forward during this mission to gain our rights to vote, choose, and have a say in what's good for OUR COMMUNITY. Let's stay strong and UNITED! When someone gets found out about, they resort to using the only thing they can: more promises they won't keep. They'll say what they think we want to hear to pacify us but it's TOO LATE. We've seen their true colors!

It's time for the community to show we want change. Threatening us with RUMORS of decreased home value, changes in dues, and "animosity" amongst community members WILL NOT stop our efforts. What they've stated is NOT TRUE, it's just SCARE TACTICS.

Consider what has been going on for YEARS. If we give in now, what could happen in the next 5 years when he is supposed to give us the community? What condition will the community be in when management does turn it over to us, how much extra will the community have to pay then?

If we don't finish this once and for all right now, we won't get this opportunity again.

WE ARE HOMEOWNERS UNITED!

**URGENT UPDATE**

SEPTEMBER 9, 2023

THE TIME HAS COME FOR EACH HOMEOWNER TO TAKE A FIRM STAND!!

EITHER WE FIGHT TO HAVE A SAY ON HOW OUR HOA IS RUN WITH OUR CHECKBOOKS OR WE SUBMIT OURSELVES TO THE POWERS THAT CONTINUALLY CONTROL OUR WAY OF LIFE.

IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE UPCOMING FIRESIDE AND HOMEOWNERS MEETINGS HAVE BEEN CALLED BY MANAGEMENT AS A WAY TO CHANGE THE NARRATIVE AND REDUCE HOMEOWNERS DONATIONS TO PREVENT A COURT HEARING.

REMEMBER: "IF WE KEEP DOING WHAT WE'RE DOING, WE KEEP GETTING WHAT WE'VE BEEN GETTING."
