SPOTLIGHT COMMENTS – May 12, 2004

Yesterday you received a proxy statement without an accompanying ballot; therefore, you cannot know who is running for the Board of Directors of RHPOA. This proxy statement does not constitute full disclosure to you, but asks you to blindly grant power and authority to RHPOA.

It took the Contra Costa County Zoning Administrator’s decision on March 8, 2004, to rule the Reiland property above the 7th Fairway of RHCC back into the jurisdiction of Round Hill Estates North Property Owners Association. The RHPOA should have, and could have, done this voluntarily.
