The 2016 CLAC Wrap
Up And Announcements, CAI-CLAC Annual Legislative Day at the Capitol ended
up being more an award ceremony than a legislative day.
There
is no reference to AB-1799, AB-1720,
SB-1431, SB-1106 or SB-944. It does not use
it as one of the many CAI Calls to Action for the California Assemblyman Chad
Mayes Expedited AB-1799 HOA that advocates like George Starapoli, Donie
Vanitzian or CalHomeLaw call bad legislation for homeowners, while the HOA
Industry like CAI and ECHO want it so bad?
Or
AB-1720, a bill HOA Industry, including Adam Kessler and CAI call it “legislation that benefits
lawyers.” Or “The bill is
being supported by groups that typically sue HOAs. “ but fail to identify “these
groups”
It also does not mention Wittenberg Vs Beachwalk: Aka as
Homeowners Vs HOA Industry, Wittenber Vs Beachwalk Amicus by HOA
Industry, including CAI and 20 Law Firms , taken all the way up to the California Supreme
Court. Why is this relevant? Because it helps define the HOA fault lines.
Wittenberg Vs Beachwalk: Aka as Homeowners Vs HOA Industry by "Buzz" Aguirre: Adams Kessler and 20 other law firms, all members of CAI petitioned the California Supreme Court
to overturn the Wittenberg ruling. The Supreme Court refused.
to overturn the Wittenberg ruling. The Supreme Court refused.

In this corner:
A
simply review of supporters of AB-1799,
AB-1720 and Wittenberg Vs Beachwalk, should
tell a casual HOA/CID observer where the fault lines are: It’s a proverbial David and Goliath story: On one side is the tyrannical HOA with
bottomless funds aided and abetted by the HOA industry including the self
described “ largest advocacy organization in America,” and on the other side is
the homeowner with her only asset in many cases, is the home in question.
 |
| HOA/CID actors always have diametrically opposed goals: Through willful ignorance, gross incompetence, cognitive dissonance or cognitive challenges, boards tend to side with the industry |
But I digress. On April 18th, the Community Associations
Institute’s California Legislative Action Committee (CAI-CLAC)
members throughout the state, convened in Sacramento to discuss legislation and
its possible impact upon its constituents, including an award ceremony.
According to its own website:
"The California Legislative Action Committee (CLAC) is a volunteer
committee of the Community Associations Institute (CAI) consisting of
homeowners and professionals serving community associations. It is the
largest advocacy organization in America dedicated to monitoring legislation,
educating elected state lawmakers, and protecting the interests of those living
in homeowners associations in California.
CAI-CLAC
serves the educational, business and networking needs of homeowners
associations in the state of California. Members include condominiums,
cooperatives and homeowners associations, as well as those who provide services
and products to associations.
According
to its online post, "Awards are given for individual volunteer time
as well as group success in supporting the nonprofit through fundraising."
The 2016 CAI-CLAC recipients (also known as the organizations average homeowners should avoid) are:
- Fundraising: Greater Inland Empire Chapter of CAI won the “Top Chapter Supporter” award. The Orange County Regional Chapter came in second place. The Channel Islands Chapter and the Bay Area/Central California Chapter tied at third
- In first place for the Top Management Company Supporter was Landmark Limited from the Bay Area/Central California Chapter. In second place was Avalon Management Company Group, Inc., from the Greater Inland Empire Chapter, and third place was awarded to Optimum Professional Property Management from the Orange County Regional Chapter.
- The Chair’s Choice award, was given to Nathan McGuire of the Bay Area/Central California Chapter
- The Volunteer of the Year Award, given to Michael Huffman from Management Professionals, Inc., a member of the Greater Los Angeles Chapter.
Conclusion
The question is, who is in your home? That is, who is looking for the average homeowner? Lawyers and property management companies
affiliated with the largest
advocacy organization in America, or a freelance HOA advocate?
