Sun City Anthem Community Association, Inc.
Board of Directors
June 15, 2006 at 3:00 p.m.
Freedom Hall

WELCOME!

You are participating in the process of representative government. The Board welcomes your interest and hopes you will attend Board Meetings on a regular basis.

SCA is governed by a seven-member Board of Directors, who elects a President and other officers from among their members. The Board establishes policy for Sun City Anthem. The policy is carried out by the Community Association Manager, who is hired by the Board.

The Board meets on the fourth Thursday of each month other than August and December at 1:30 PM in the Speaker’s Hall. Rules, regulations, resolutions, and policy, the laws of Sun City Anthem are officially enacted or rejected at these meetings.

The meetings may appear to proceed quickly, with important decisions reached after very little discussion. In actuality, the agenda and the Board Books are received by members the previous Friday and reviewed on the Tuesday before the meeting.

HOW A RESIDENT CAN BE HEARD

As required by NRS-116, the Board of Directors may only consider items that appear on the agenda. Should you wish to speak on an agenda item, or comment on any matter during the Public Comment Section of the meeting, please observe the following:

  1. Please complete an interest card
  2. Please state your name and address at the podium for the record
  3. In fairness to others, groups or organizations are requested to designate one spokesperson.
  4. In the interest of time, you are encouraged to give brief, non-repetitive statements to insure that all relevant information is presented to aid the Board in reaching a decision.

It is the intent of the Board to give all residents an opportunity to be heard. Please be advised that State Law provides for the removal of any person who willfully disrupts a meeting to the extent that its orderly conduct is made impractical.
