June 11 Town Hall Recap: A Masterclass in Deflection and Disrespect
What should have been a productive and transparent Town Hall quickly devolved into yet another example of failed leadership and silencing of dissent.
Zoom Mute-and-Delete
What Happened: Kicking off the meeting, Vice President Anh Jung swiftly removed multiple homeowners from the Zoom call and disabled the chat feature.
Why It Matters: Anh’s actions were clearly an abuse of her role of monitoring the Zoom so that those attending remotely would have a chance to be heard. Instead she unilaterally silenced residents attempting to participate in what should have been an open forum, undermining any claim to transparency or community input.
“Looking Forward” Becomes “Looking Back”
What Happened: President Ken Starks kicked off the meeting by announcing that the focus would be on “looking forward” yet he himself spent significant time revisiting personal grievances with CCMC, the current management company.
Why It Matters: This contradiction not only wasted time but also highlighted a lack of genuine forward-thinking leadership while spotlighting his personal bias in the evaluation process.
Communication or Confrontation?
What Happened: Starks claimed to value open communication with fellow board members but directed hostile remarks toward those who disagreed with him.
Why It Matters: This behavior suggests that dissent is not tolerated, raising concerns about the board’s commitment to collaborative decision-making. Ken’s version of “communication” seems to apply only when others agree with him. Otherwise, it’s open season.
Homeowner Input Ignored
What Happened: Many homeowners advocated for forming an impartial, homeowner- led ad hoc committee to oversee the RFP process — recommendation directly from the Mulcahy Law Firm which represents Power Ranch and advises the Board.
Why It Matters: Leadership dismissed this suggestion, indicating a preference for dictating whatever deficient and flawed process they prefer and advances their agendas. It is painfully clear that both Ken and Anh are anything but neutral when it comes to the management company selection.
Contract Confusion Continues
What Happened: President Ken Starks repeated a claim from a prior video with Vice President Anh Jung, asserting that the CCMC contract ends in 2024, yet the fee schedule runs through 2026—suggesting something suspicious or inconsistent.
Why It Matters: This is a fundamental misunderstanding of how service contracts often work. Fee schedules that extend beyond the base term are standard practice, offering cost predictability and optional renewal terms—not hidden extensions. Misrepresenting this structure either reflects a lack of familiarity with standard contract terms or an attempt to frame it as deceptive when it’s not.
If board leadership doesn’t understand—or chooses not to understand—basic contractual structures, that raises serious concerns about their ability to evaluate any future proposals or vendors responsibly.
Unmentioned Tech Tools
What Happened: Board member Katie Wick referenced advanced software tools offered by other management companies—tools not previously discussed openly with other Board members.
Why It Matters: This implies she may have met directly with companies off the record, bypassing the advised formal RFP process and further undermining transparency.
Less Town, More Hall-of-Mirrors
What Happened: The meeting concluded the #Recall3 devaluing or outright dismissing homeowner input and a presentation that seemed more rehearsed than responsive.
Why It Matters: If this Town Hall was meant to build trust or inform the community, it failed on both fronts. What we witnessed instead was an orchestrated performance to justify decisions already made behind closed doors.
What’s Next
If this Town Hall made one thing clear, it’s this: change won’t come from the top. It will have to come from us—homeowners who care about transparency, fairness, and actual community input.
