What should have been a productive and transparent Town Hall quickly devolved into yet another example of failed leadership and silencing of dissent.

Shining a Light on a Broken Process

A small group of board members has taken control of the RFP process to replace our property management company—without forming an unbiased committee, informing the full board, or involving the community. Proposals were sent and reviewed behind closed doors, with no transparency, no documentation, and no public vetting.

Now they claim we’ll “save $200,000,” but at what cost? Lower service? Fewer staff? No one knows—because no one’s been shown the data.

This isn’t just about a contract. It’s about accountability, ethics, and protecting the integrity of our community. At the June 11 Townhall, demand transparency. Demand answers.

Let’s bring this into the light—where it belongs.

In a recent public seminar, Arizona HOA attorney Beth Mulcahy outlined the seven core responsibilities every HOA board member should uphold — transparency, professionalism, fairness, and fiduciary duty among them. At Power Ranch, these principles stand in stark contrast to the behavior of our current board majority.

From retaliatory motions to secretive decisions, from silencing homeowners to violating open meeting laws, the “Recall Three” have repeatedly failed the standards our community deserves. This article breaks down Mulcahy’s best practices — and shows exactly where our board has gone wrong

At the May 12 board session, Vice President Ahn Jung unilaterally issued a Request for Proposals to replace our HOA management company—without board approval, without transparency, and using a document so poorly written it reads like it was meant for a 500-home subdivision, not a master-planned community of over 4,300 homes.

This wasn’t just a mistake. It was a violation of Arizona law, a breach of board ethics, and a reckless display of incompetence that is driving away reputable vendors and putting our community at risk.

Power Ranch has been one of the largest and most respected master-planned communities in Arizona—with over 4,000 homes and a $6 million annual budget. Yet today, our HOA Board is being influenced and controlled by an individual with a history of fraud, felony charges, civil judgments, and retaliatory governance—led by Vice President Anh Jung, and unwaveringly supported by Board President Ken Starks and Board Member Katie Wick.

“Who is this officer, and why is he here?”
That’s what board member Jenn Rotta demanded—spotting a uniformed Mesa Police sergeant standing silently at the back of the room. The answer? Board VP Anh Jung secretly paid him to be there. No board vote. No notice. No approval.

When homeowners started asking questions, President Ken Starks tried to use the officer to throw them out—for “speaking out of order.”
