Dear HSV Residents:
Failure 1
The CEO and the POA Board who developed and approved the CMP (and its multi-million dollar price tag) have stated numerous times that they offered CCI an opportunity to participate in the CMP. CCI said no! (I was told this was because the offer was made late in the process and CCI could see the CMP was a flawed plan).
At this point, the POA should have stopped the CMP in its tracks. Why would you continue to push the CMP when CCI said no? The CMP cannot be implemented without CCI! This should have been an enormous red flag that any competent manager would see! This is analogous to building a fountain/fire pit in your neighbor’s yard. You asked (for permission) … the neighbor said no … but you go ahead with the plans (spending thousands in preparation) … hire architects and contractors to start construction? This makes no sense!
The POA should have started over with CCI at the table from Day one.
Failure 2
These proponents of the CMP all say the CMP is a “living document” and it is designed to be flexible and changeable with the times.
Really? Everything in the CMP is about changing HSV into a city. HSV needs revenue! On page 82/83 of the CMP (Observations and Policies), it identifies the revenue the CMP will generate over the next 20 years ($2.56 million per year). ALL of this comes from the “Town Center”, the “Carmona Center” and the “Coronado Center”. The CMP cannot/does not generate revenue without the Town Center!
So, if the CMP is a living/flexible document and HSV does not build the Town Center (and other centers) …. Where will the revenue come from?
I know the answer …and now you know the answer…. SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS! The CMP tells us that too!
Good job POA … develop a plan that cannot be implemented … pay a great sum of money for it … misrepresent everything to the residents … develop committees and processes that hide the true intent … and when it fails … simply reach into the property owners’ pockets for more money!

Phil, spot on! In order for these things to happen, the POA and Nancy would have to respect the residents of the Village and their views! Unfortunately, this is not the case! It all comes down to voting by the residents of this community. Anyone who is reading this should, at the least, get out and vote for a new BOD! DON’T be a wasted voice in these important decisions! It is just a simple ballot to fill out and it is truly the only way we can change the direction that the current management is taking this community. It is a dead end!

Bill, you’re absolutely right — voting in new BOD candidates in the upcoming election is the only way to change our leadership for the better.
But for anyone who is on NextDoor, we don’t have to wait until that election to send a message to our leadership regarding the CMP.
This Poll is even easier than completing a ballot! It’s a “straw” poll, but property owners need to weigh in on this. There are 3 options to choose to express what you think about the CMP. At the time of posting this comment, the talley was 82% for #1 & #3 combined and 17% for #2 from 56 votes cast.
If you are on Next Door click this link and VOTE!! Now! https://nextdoor.com/news_feed/?post=133284988 and send the CEO and current BOD your message!

I regret to inform you that censorship on NextDoor is totally alive and well and under complete control of those who oppose the large majority of members. The Poll about the CMP I posted about above and in several places about 6PM on January 6th has now been deleted. It showed that it had been posted for 6 days, but that was the first time I had seen it, and I go there several times a day. There has been a lot of incorrect categorization of posts on ND recently, so I recommended people visit it and cast their votes. The original poster simply said:
*************************************
Poll: C.M.P. meaning
Which of the following options most accurately describes the CMP?
Cheers to the 2020 HSV BOD candidates !!!!
Choose one:
1. Complete Money Pit
2. Comprehensive Master Plan
3. Complete Pile of Manure
**************************************
It was not scientific, just a “straw poll”, but clearly showed where the majority sentiment lies. At the time I started posting on ND and Websites and FB groups that are not censored, there had been 27 votes, with 84% total between 2 of the options, and 14% for the other.
The last talley I can personally confirm was in response I made to a post I made on an uncensored site at 2:40 pm today, January 7th:
“Sadly, that’s true, (name removed). However those of us who haven’t been ejected yet are responding, and the current tally shows there have been 76 votes. There is 80% total between 2 of the options, and 19% for the other.”
This is not the first instance of deletions when the subject matter was not in agreement with the CEO’s agenda. Posts have also been re-classified from the poster’s selection and moved into categories where they are unlikely to be seen by many, as I suspect was the fate of this poll post for the first 6 days!
More evidence of how crucial it is to VOTE IN MARCH for NEW BOD members who will pursue an agenda desired by the majority of members, not just the agenda of the CEO.

HSV will never have a profitable town center of any kind. Ever.
