Sun City property owners cannot exempt themselves from paying the Recreation Centers of Sun City annual assessments. Article 3 of the RCSC bylaws and the facilities agreement is very clear about that.
The assessments are an absolute necessity for Sun City to remain the great place to live for the 55+ community. There could be changes for how much the privilege card holders pay, but the annual assessments every property owner is responsible for must remain.
The biggest frustration we all have is our assessments keep rising, but RCSC financials get worse. This poor financial management makes me wonder, where is all our assessment money going and what is the real truth? RCSC’s $600,000 deficit further fuels mistrust.
The board apparently feels no obligation to explain to the membership why RCSC finances have become a shell game of try and track the money between this fund, that fund and some other fund. It’s equally concerning the current RCSC board is behaving like intimidated, frail senior citizens who are fearful of their only employee, who dares us to question him. Well, I question him.
What can be done to offer RCSC property owners financial protection from overspending and constant annual assessment increases? It’s obvious that answer can’t come from the same people who created the RCSC financial mess in the first place.
The RCSC membership meeting at Sundial Rec Center at 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 11 will be a good place to offer ideas that become solutions. But the annual assessments are every property owner's financial obligation for Sun City to remain Sun City.
