2019 Annual Meeting & Elections - March 12th |
The 2019 Annual Meeting & Elections is scheduled for Tuesday, March 12, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. at the Swim Club.
There will be 2 different elections happening simultaneously… the first is for the election of members to the Board of Directors (Board Election); and second is the election to adopt amendments to the CC&R’s and Bylaws (Amendment Election). The reason for the 2 separate elections is due to the different quorum requirements for each election. The quorum requirement for the Board Election is 25% of the membership (390 ballots/proxies). The quorum requirement for the Amendment Election is approval by 67% of the membership (1,046 ballots).
Here is information on each individual election:
BOARD ELECTION
There are 2 open seats on the Board of Directors that need to be filled…and you decide who fills those seats! Ballots have been mailed to the membership, so take the time to vote and submit your ballot. Remember, we need a minimum of 390 ballots/proxies (25% of the membership to be represented) in order to achieve quorum and hold the Board Election (open the ballots). Unfortunately, there was a misspelling of a candidate's name, Bruce Dalglish, on the Candidate's Statements pages in the original mailer. We apologize for the error. Therefore, please click HERE for the corrected version.
AMENDMENT ELECTION
The Board of Directors proposed several amendments to the Bylaws and CC&R’s for the purpose of updating the governing documents to address several issues affecting our community. The proposed amendments support the Association’s goals for improved communication, better governance, and improved guideline enforcement. Your votes and participation are key to the success of Sycamore Creek Community Association. Remember, we need approval by a minimum of 1,046 homes/ballots (67% of the membership to be represented) in order to achieve quorum and hold the Amendment Election (open the ballots). Please refer to the Voter’s Guide for more information on the proposed amendments and how your vote will affect the outcome by clicking HERE. If you plan on mailing your ballots, please allow enough time to ensure your ballots are received by March 12th. Please mail your ballots to: Majority Rules, PO Box 608, Yorba Linda, CA 92885. You may also submit your ballots in person at the Annual Meeting and Elections on Tuesday, March 12th at 7pm at the Swim Club. If you have lost/misplaced either of your ballots, please contact Majority Rules at majority_rules@sbcglobal.net or call (714) 777-7073. Thank you and good luck to all the candidates! |

Got Violations? | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Have you ever wonder what the Association is doing about those violations that you continue to see every day or feel that you have reported numerous times with no progress/resolution? The answer is that the entire process can take a really long time, especially if an owner refuses to comply or doesn't communicate with the Board. The entire process can take several months up to over a year to complete. And in very severe cases, it can take even longer.
The Association has and will continue to pursue each violation until it’s resolve/closed. It’s also important to note that the Board monitors and reviews all violations monthly to ensure that the enforcement of the guidelines is being conducted in a fair, consistent and timely manner.
To provide more transparency, we’ve added this section to the website for residents to see the current number of violations being opened and closed each month.
Please feel free to contact the administrative office with any questions or concerns.

Are You Holy Flood Ready? |
What is a debris flow? Debris flows are fast-moving, deadly landslides. They are powerful mixtures of mud, rocks, boulders, trees - and sometimes homes or vehicles. You'll often hear "debris flows" called "mudslides" or "mudflows." Many people use the terms interchangeably, but to scientists, each is a different kind of landslide. Debris flows are the most powerful and dangerous of the three. Safety Steps to Prepare Before the Storm:
