Enough Is Enough: HOA VP Recused After Year-Long Violation Fines Remain Unresolved
When those in power stop playing by the rules, it’s not just frustrating — it’s dangerous. At Power Ranch, that danger has a name: Anh Jung. A sitting Vice President on the HOA Board, Jung continues to participate in decision-making despite unresolved violations, unpaid fines, and a history of procedural bypassing. The Board has stayed silent. But this week, the community didn’t. In a bold move, the Landscape Committee voted to recuse her from further participation until she complies. Because in Power Ranch, if the Board won’t enforce accountability, the community will.
If You Thought PowerRanchHOA.com Was Official, It’s NOT. And Now She Owns Your Data.
A private website and email system owned by PRCA Vice President Anh Jung is being used for board and homeowner communication—despite not being sanctioned by the HOA. The domain, PowerRanchHOA.com, also hosts politically charged content and has previously published sensitive homeowner data. Now, every email or committee document routed through it may sit in Anh's personal control—even after her term ends. This isn't just misleading—it's a serious risk to your privacy, and it may violate multiple HOA policies and Arizona nonprofit law.
Dictator, Bully or Hypocrite? Has Ethics Become a Weapon in Power Ranch?
Power Ranch HOA President Ken Starks once warned that the Board’s Ethics Code gave too much power to the President. Now, that same policy is allegedly being used under his leadership to silence dissent, block agenda items, and intimidate fellow board members behind closed doors. What was meant to ensure integrity is now being wielded as a weapon—and the result is a board governed not by collaboration, but control
Outranked by His Own VP? What’s Happening Behind the Board Table
When a board president stops leading but refuses to step aside, the community suffers. Power Ranch residents deserve transparency—not a hidden chain of command. Yet behind closed doors, it appears that Ken Starks has delegated critical leadership duties to Vice President Anh Jung, raising serious concerns about accountability, authority, and who’s really making decisions on behalf of over 12,000 residents.
When Privacy Becomes Collateral: VP Anh Jung’s Latest Violation Exposes Homeowner Information
On April 11, 2025, Vice President Anh Jung crossed a line no board member should ever approach—publicly releasing internal HOA data, including homeowner addresses, on a Facebook group she controls. Whether through ignorance or intent, her actions violated the PRCA’s Code of Ethics, Communications Policy, and the trust of every resident in this community.
Who’s Really Running Power Ranch?
One investor. 120 votes. And a board that’s smiling beside him.
When Karl Huish—who doesn’t even live in Power Ranch—gained more voting power than any homeowner, the community took notice. But when board members Ken, Katharine, and Anh began campaigning with him, featuring him, and aligning with his influence… the question became unavoidable: Who does this board really represent—our families, or Karl Huish?
BOARD MEETING RECAPS
-
Fact: Vice President Anh Jung supported changes to the Code of Ethics that would remove all references to fiduciary responsibility and ethics, soften enforcement language (“shall” to “should”), and eliminate restrictions that prevent homeowners with unresolved violations from serving on committees. Jung herself has had unresolved violations and fines for over a year.
Implication: These changes would have directly benefited a sitting board member who is currently out of compliance. This represents a clear conflict of interest and calls into question Anh Jung’s ability to uphold community standards while shaping policy that impacts them.
Fact: A licensed attorney and Power Ranch homeowner publicly warned the board that weakening the Code of Ethics could expose the HOA to legal liability.
Implication: The board, including Ken Starks, Anh Jung, and Katharine Wick, opted to table the changes rather than discard them outright. This reflects a disregard for clear legal risk and a willingness to prioritize internal policy changes over community protection.Fact: Despite strong homeowner opposition, the board tabled the ethics rewrite for another revision instead of dismissing it.
Implication:Ken Starks, Anh Jung, and Katharine Wick allowed the motion to stay alive, despite concerns from legal professionals and residents. This indicates continued interest in policies that could weaken board accountability.
Fact: The published agenda for the April 2nd meeting excluded the required Homeowners Forum and only added it during the session after multiple objections from attendees.
Implication: As board president, Ken Starks is responsible for agenda oversight. Excluding homeowner comment opportunities contradicts Arizona Revised Statutes §33-1804 and undermines transparent governance.
Fact: Proposed changes to the Facilities Committee Charter would have removed project oversight, vendor selection, budgeting, and inspection duties from professional management and transferred them to the committee.
Implication: This would have significantly reduced operational accountability and handed financial and operational control to non-professional committee members. Anh Jung was the sole board member to vote in favor of this shift.
Fact: The Facilities Committee Charter vote failed: 1 in favor (Anh Jung), 3 opposed (Jen, Mike, Kristi), and 3 abstained (Ken Starks, Katharine Wick, Jeremy).
Implication:Ken Starks and Katharine Wick abstained from voting on a major governance change—failing to provide leadership or take a stance on a proposal that would redistribute management authority and alter the HOA’s operational structure.
Fact: Committee appointments during the meeting were disorganized and appeared to result in the removal of existing committee chairs and co-chairs without clear justification. The actions and motions leading this effort came from Katharine Wick.
Implication:Katharine Wick’s approach to appointments created the appearance of retaliatory action and personal agenda-setting, raising concerns about impartiality, fairness, and governance integrity. (See the video starting at 2:20 at mypowerranch.com.)
Fact: The only official board action completed during the nearly 3-hour meeting was approval of a $1,500 laptop for the community manager.
Implication: With numerous critical items under review, the board—under the leadership of Ken Starks—failed to produce substantive outcomes, signaling inefficient governance and poor use of time.
Fact: The board approved the $1,500 laptop without reference to a formal procurement policy.
Implication: Routine operational expenses should follow standardized processes. The lack of such a policy, and the need to escalate purchases to board meetings, reflects disorganization under Ken Starks’s leadership.
Fact: The Facilities Committee Charter was listed as “Old Business” even though it had not been discussed at the March 24 meeting.
Implication: Listing a first-time discussion as “Old Business” can be misleading. Ken Starks, as presiding officer, is accountable for maintaining accurate and transparent agendas.
