You don’t know what has happened unless you look back, silly. If money was misspent and a bidding system for construction was not used and correct steps were not taken, it all needs to be uncovered. Your ‘don’t dwell in the past mentality’ does not cut it when almost a million dollars is involved. We need to hire an attorney to look at the action of the past several years. So sorry we can’t be bright and positive but the trusting are running out of money, Peggy.

Who cares about the past 3 boards? That’s silly. Unless they did something illegal what do past boards have to do with today? Fix it now. Stop looking to blame past boards to get this one off the hook of making a decision about rent it didn’t collect and a renter that IT approved. This board is responsible. Get er done!

yes we did and we did it publicly HERE, the board heard us because they all talked about what was here (I know) & what they DO will be heard by us, they WILL be voted out of office (& lose friendships), how is that for hearing? If they DO their jobs we’re all fine. If they continue to PANDER we’re not.

to the interested voca dues payer – count me in agreement. Selling the property would be insanity on top of this restaurant insanity.

Downsizing the restaurant to its bar area would be good for now. Someone mentioned inexpensive bar food and drinks – that sounds like a good local idea. Event planning is a good idea – it won’t work for high end weddings like the golf resort but it would work for weddings, HOA events, community events. Getting rid of the restaurant manager and its renter is the best idea & move forward with a decent golfer & community venue.

That’s my two cents.

I want to say this has been an enlightening exchange of opinions and I want to thank my friend Lisa for telling me to get with it and read this news. I don’t get the local paper, my husband and I always thought it a tad boring and self-important like many owners views of Sedona. At 70 young years of age and a part time resident, I find Sedona’s beauty and interest has always been its rocks and peaceful quiet. I will watch with interest the outcome of the VOCA meeting.

I’m still waiting for the architect of this disaster to be fired. Tony Rizzo.

The course is self sustaining.

Also still waiting for quarterly accounting.

This article takes a tone of destruction I don’t like. The problems are real. The solution is not to sell the course. But to support the restaurant or reallocate space in the clubhouse and downsize it. Or, give full support to outside event planning and let it be a similar venue to Sedona Golf Resort which is busy with events – booked solid months and months in advance.

Wow! 3 Past Presidents have Stolen from your checkbooks to promote and refurbish a losing revenue restaurant business combined with a golf course? And no one has caught on and called them to become accountable in any means to hold their toes to the fire….just pretty much dumfounds me. Maybe the Arizona State Attorney Generals Office needs to become involved?

HOA’s are held to account via Arizona State Revised Statutes and strongly suggest you all review those specific statutes and then perhaps those of you who are willing will group together to hire your own attorney to stop the madness of throwing money out the window or flushing it down the proverbial toilet! Do not let the Board tell you they will take care of you – they certainly are not doing so!
