Misleading Recall Flyer 8-11-26
Alert An unidentified person or group has taken it upon themselves to place flyers in Sun Lakes member's mail boxes earlier today. This is an admirable effort to keep members informed. But, unfortunately, it contains misinformation. The recall cost is estimated, by the contracted electoral company, to be between $8,000 and $10,000. NOT $15,000 to $20,000, as stated in the flyer. One can only assume that this was an attempt to distract or undermine the recall of Gary Burkel

REASONS FOR THE RECALL OF GARY BURKEL
• It has become apparent that a voting bloc of Board members, led by Gary Burkel, is committed to replacing FSR as the Association's management company. At least one Board member publicly campaigned on that objective. • While the Board has the authority to evaluate management performance and consider alternative management companies, fiduciary obligations require that such decisions be conducted through an objective, transparent and properly documented procurement process

Rebuttal to Open Board Statement – June 24, 2026
Rebuttal to Don Day's Open Board Statement – June 24, 2026 r2 I attended the June 24, 2026, Open Board meeting during which Don Day addressed the audience during member comments. While his conduct attracted attention, the concern is not the length of his remarks, but the content of his presentation.
