Changing RCSC Articles of Incorporation
With the removal of Director Ann Ullman for "personal reasons", we
want to change Article IX to remove the board's power to recall board members without a membership vote. With the board's changing of the quorum for membership meetings from 100 to 3600 and shortening
the deadline for petition drives to get 3600 signatures from six months to three, we want to change Article VIII to remove
the board's power to write bylaws and board policies without a membership vote. Noel Kasper negotiated with the
RCSC according to Board Policy #5 procedures for approval to circulate two petitions that would bring initiatives to the members
for a ballot vote. The petitions are required to contain the signatures of ten percent of the voting members as of the previous
July 1, which is approximately 3600. We are seeking 4000 to allow for disqualified signatures. Following are the latest updates as we proceed toward obtaining the Membership vote.
UPDATES MOST RECENT FIRST
UPDATE 5/14/2010: Because
of circumstances beyond our control, instead of May 18th, we will resume the petition drive on May 25th until August
1st at the Dog Park location from 8 to 10 a.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. UPDATE 5/1/2010: On April
29, 2010, Noel Kasper informed the RCSC board that we had not reached 3,583 signatures by the deadline the board had imposed
on us by amending a bylaw that shortened the deadline from six months to three. He said we had over 1,300 signatures
which was more than the board members got to get elected. He also told them we will continue collecting signatures.
He thanked all those who signed and circulated and said he appreciated their continued support. The petition drive continues to the real deadline which is
August 1st. We are taking a summer hiatus and will resume the petition drive on May 18 until July 29 at the Dog Park
location from 8 to 10 a.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. We are also recruiting volunteers for this petition drive and for a future petition
drive: to amend the Articles of Incorporation to reduce the needed signatures to call a membership vote down to a simple and
constant 1,000. A call for a vote should be hard enough to make frivolous interference of board actions difficult, yet
not so hard that the members are kept from holding the board accountable for their actions. _________________________________
UPDATE 4/6/2010: On March
29, 2010, Noel Kasper rejected Petition P-03 to recall the board as to "form and timing." He requested Vance
Coleman be added and that the recall start on Oct. 1st. The reason for the recall is the board's thwarting of "the
action of Members" which is guaranteed by the RCSC Articles of Incorporation to prevail in a dispute between the Members
and the board as to the bylaws, etc. Contrary to the best interests of the Members, the board increased the Membership
meeting quorum to 3600, decreased the deadline for petition circulation from six months to three, refused access to the facilities
for petition and flyer circulation, and refused debate of the issues in the Sun Views.

UPDATE 2/9/2010: On February
9, 2010, the SCFR starts collecting petition signatures and training circulators at the Dog Park on Thunderbird Rd at Del
Webb (LaRonde Shopping Center Westside) from Noon to 2 p.m. daily until we reach our goal. Come sign and help us bring
to a membership ballot vote changes to the RCSC Articles of Incorporation that will require membership ratification for the
board to recall board members or write bylaws, board policies, or any other regulation that will "change the contract"
from when you bought into Sun City. These changes will head us in the right direction to gain control over the board's
excessive spending and assessing that has created unrest and uncertainty for seniors living on fixed income. JOIN US!

UPDATE 2/6/2010: On February
6, 2010, the SCFR held its first meeting to begin this historic petition drive to remove the RCSC board's power to recall
board members or write bylaws, etc., without a membership vote. We are signing people up on the two petitions and training
them to sign up others. JOIN US!

UPDATE 1/28/2010: On January
28, 2010, Noel Kasper requested a recall petition. He had to deliver it at the board meeting instead of the Membership
meeting because the board-created quorum of 3500 wasn't achieved.

UPDATE 1/6/2010: On January
6, 2010, we received approval of the petition language by the new RCSC President Gene Westmeier. We responded by sending
him the copies of the two petitions and the draft of the flyer language. We are waiting for corrections or approval.
If approved, the RCSC will set petition drive numbers and the start date, at which time the clock starts ticking. We'll
have 90 days to gather 4,000 signatures.
