Old HOA's (Residents) Money

These are the facts. The old HOA- Fillmore El Dorado Homeowners Association, IS still a corporation and has been in suspension for years. Being in suspension, they have no right to move or spend money. They needed to comply with the law and file financial reports with the state, which they did not do, to get out of suspension. Charles Richardson says the money was "gifted" to the social club. It was illegal, under corportate law, for them to even be offered the $9,100+ of the El Dorado residents money. Therefore, this money does not belong to the Social Club. The Social Club is not incorporated and has no legal standing with the state. The Old HOA spent $1,500+ on a lawyer when they had no right to spend any money. Being suspended, anything they did with the money was on a personal basis only as they could not act on a corporate level. The residents of El Dorado deserve their money back! There are residents in the park who will sue and return the money to the rightful owners, the residents of El Dorado. The perpetrators of this act are within a hair of suffering the consequences. They have been given every chance to "right their wrong".

El Dorado HOA Meeting With Mike Cirillo

Park management and the new HOA may be getting married. The Voice of El Dorado Mobile Homeowner's Association ( a mouthful!) Board of Directors and El Dorado's Head Manager, Mike Cirillo (he came from Orange County to be with us), held a meeting Monday evening, August 18th. The Board showed Mike the recent poll we took about things the residents would like to see happen in El Dorado. Mike was very receptive to us and said he would try to do what the residents asked. This includes helping with our financing of the emergency block captians program. The emergency program, headed by Allan Hair, is the most important thing any HOA can do. It can save lives. Mike is on board with us within a year of the rent control (now over) fiasco. Our HOA is here to serve everyone who lives in the park.

My Stand on the November Election

This November we have the opportunity to rip the money out of the BIG spenders hands. That would be the present City Council. I recommend Gayle Washburn and Jamie Brooks to replace Steve Conaway and Cecila Cuevas. Grace Donahue should remain the Treasurer. Clay Wesling would be an excellent City Clerk. These are all honest people that care about your pocketbook, unlike the present crew. I am confident that they would all make our lives better if elected. I also see the North Fillmore Initiative as a much better plan than what is in place now. The present high density plan will create more problems than we can afford.
My 2 cents.

Computer Class Update

The first session of classes is now over. Gayle and I are taking a week off. The following week will have the basic computer classes on Tuesdays. On Thursday, we will have open classes for practice, questions and more advanced teaching. We hope we have enough seats for all who want to attend. See you there!

Senior Center Computer Classes

The response to the Basic Computer Classes has been teriffic! Gayle Washburn and I are the teachers and we have 7 students. The waiting list is growing. The Beginning Internet class has 5 students. Gayle and I are considering combining those 2 classes into 1. We are all having a good time. We will soon have 1 or 2 computers for the main room of the Senior Center that all can use. I'm having a hard time finding enough time to put the public PCs together, so this has been delayed. I encourage all to take our class and then you will have a computer to use at the Senior Center, all free of charge! Gayle and I are discussing other ideas for the classes and I'll keep you posted on what develops.

El Dorado Street Cleaning

Some of you may have noticed a crew washing down El Dorado's streets. This crew was sent by Griffin Industries. They will be doing the whole park.

On June 13th, Paul Schifanelli arranged a meeting with the HOA Board and Griffin Industries. Roger Campbell also attended the meeting. The HOA Board made a presentation to Griffin explaining and showing photos of all the dirt that is stirred up by the building activity behind us that settles on our streets, homes and into our lungs. Griffin committed to cleaning our streets and trying to water their work areas better. I think we all should applaud Paul Schifanelli for making this happen for us.

Joining the HOA helps make things like this happen to give us all a better place to live.

Thank you all for your interest.

Marie Wren V.P.!

I have on good word that Marie Wren has accepted the office of Vice President. The board is now complete and ready to contribute what we can. I think this is an excellent board who can make a lot of good things happen. I can't wait to see what the future brings. I hope all will be patient with us, as change doesn't happen overnight.
