President’s Post Dear Members, Your Natomas Park Master Associa on (NPMA) Board of Directors, management company (FirstService Residen al), and commi ees are moving forward on the clubhouse improvement project, legal issues and more. The Club Construc on Improvements Advisory Commi ee (CCIAC; formerly the Master Plan Advisory Commi ee) con nues to make progress during and a er the holiday season. Associa on management sent Request for Qualifica ons (RFQs) to 13 architectural/engineering firms reques ng produc on of conceptual designs for the Clubhouse expansion project. Three firms submi ed responses. In December and January, CCIAC members, along with selected Board members and Associa on management staff, evaluated the proposals and conducted interviews. Next steps include selec ng a firm and nego a ng a contract. Clubhouse improvement designs will eventually be presented to the membership for a vote. In the event the membership elects not to approve expansion, the CCIAC, management, and Board reviewed and priori zed construc on defects that can be fixed with exis ng funds. Some of the 93 Ryland Garden homes have experienced water leaks in the conveyance between the city water main and the home. In December, associa on management mailed disclosure le ers to these homeowners. Addi onal informa on will be shared during a town hall mee ng as it becomes available. Associa on management is working with Paladin Security, the City of Sacramento Police Department, and legal counsel to evict a second squa er who broke into a home that the Associa on owns. Occasionally, the associa on places a lien and then forecloses on a home due to nonpayment of dues over an extended period. NPMA owns the home only un l the senior lienholder (bank or other lending ins tu on) forecloses and takes possession. When the senior lienholder forecloses, this typically ex nguishes NPMA’s junior lien. Some mes this takes a long me. In the interim, NPMA endeavors to maintain these proper es to prevent them from becoming eyesores or nuisances. Upon receipt of a valid recall pe on, the full Board appointed the FirstService Residen al Vice President of Northern California as Inspector of Elec ons. The Inspector of Elec ons carried out the recall elec on in accordance with NPMA’s governing documents. The cost of the recall elec on (not including staff me) was $30‐$31,000. Most of this amount cov‐ered mailing costs ($23,688.46), with the remainder for legal fees ($4,517.50 plus an addi‐onal unbilled amount; around $2K). As men oned previously, the Board elected to fill the
vacancy concurrent with the annual elec on this spring. Two Board posi ons will be available. On January 8, 2015, a complaint was filed against NPMA at the Superior Court in Sacramento County (case number 34‐2015‐00173763). This lawsuit requests the Court to declare the recall elec on invalid and allow Mr. Fassnacht to serve the remainder of his term (un l June 2015). The complaint also requests payment of a orney fees. As this involves pending li ga on, the Board cannot provide further informa on.

Le er from the Board of Directors Re: Summary of Outcome of William J. Fassnacht vs. Natomas Park Master Associa on Sacramento Superior Court Case No: 34‐2012‐00122936 Announcement of New Lawsuit William J. Fassnacht v. Natomas Park Master Associa on Sacramento Superior Court Case No.: 34‐2015‐00173763
Dear Members:
The purpose of this le er is to provide you with informa on regarding the lawsuit previously filed by William J. Fassnacht against the Associa on, and also to inform you of another lawsuit recently filed by Mr. Fassnacht against the Associa on. Mr. Fassnacht filed a lawsuit against the Associa on on April 20, 2012. In that lawsuit, Mr. Fassnacht alleged that the Board of Directors "removed the District Delegates" in 2008 and then appointed replacement delegates. Mr. Fassnacht alleged this violated the Bylaws in effect at the me. Mr. Fassnacht alleged this was done without proper no ce because it was allegedly not on an agenda. Mr. Fassnacht further alleged that because this ac on related to the Delegates, the subsequent amendments to the CC&Rs and Bylaws were invalid. Mr. Fassnacht also alleged that 75% of the mortgagees in Natomas Park were required to approve amendments to the Bylaws. The Associa on denied all of the allega ons. A full copy of the complaint filed by Mr. Fassnacht on April 20, 2012, as amended, can be found through the Sacramento Superior Court website.
In the lawsuit, Mr. Fassnacht sought an order from the Court to require the Associa on to "re‐seat the 2008 District Delegates," to prevent the Associa on from "amending the 2008 Bylaws without mortgagee approval," "requiring the Board to properly no ce mee ngs with an agenda," and "barring the Associa on from using, following or vo ng in accord with the 2008 and 2009 Amendments to the CC&Rs and Bylaws." Mr. Fassnacht further sought a declara on from the Court that the Associa on performed all of the ac ons he alleged and that the ac ons violated the Associa on's governing documents. Mr. Fassnacht also sought recovery of his a orneys' fees and court costs.
The Board of Directors and Mr. Fassnacht, along with their respec ve a orneys, a ended a full day of media on on February 19, 2014. At that media on a se lement was reached. The Associa on's insurance carrier agreed to pay for $20,000 of Mr. Fassnacht's legal fees, and the Associa on agreed to pay the remaining $4,000 of his legal fees. The se lement agreement stated that Mr. Fassnacht could issue a statement about the proposed revised governing documents (that were previously mailed and voted on) pursuant to Civil Code Sec on 5105, which governs member's rights to par cipate in elec ons equally. Mr. Fassnacht waived and released all claims he raised in his lawsuit and dismissed the case. There were no other terms of the se lement requiring any ac ons or payments, and the Associa on was not required to perform any other acts.
On January 8, 2015, Mr. Fassnacht filed another lawsuit against the Associa on. A full copy of this latest complaint filed by Mr. Fassnacht can be found through the Sacramento Superior Court website. This second lawsuit is based upon the outcome of the elec on to remove Mr. Fassnacht from the Board. In September 2014, a pe on signed by at least 5% of the members was submi ed to the Associa on calling for a special elec on to vote to remove (recall) Mr. Fassnacht from his posi on on the Board of Directors. The required special elec on was held and the ballots in that elec on were opened and tabulated on December 16, 2014. The results of the elec on were 2490.5 in favor of removing Mr. Fassnacht, and 1316.5 against removing Mr. Fassnacht. As a result, Mr. Fassnacht was removed from the Board of Directors by the members effec ve December 16, 2014. The lawsuit filed by Mr. Fassnacht on January 8, 2015, alleges that recall elec on was improper and Mr. Fassnacht is seeking to overturn the results and have the court place him back on the Board of Directors. Mr. Fassnacht is also seeking recovery of his a orneys' fees and costs.
The Board of Directors denies all of the allega ons in Mr. Fassnacht's newest lawsuit and intends to fully defend the Associa on against these latest claims.
Sincerely, Board of Directors ‐ Kris Escarda, Jennifer Radke, Rafer Chambers, Rob MacKinnon Natomas Park Master Associa on

It is the me of year when our fences are prone to failure. High winds and pouring rain can wreak havoc on our fencing. Some‐mes, when posts are weak from water damage or old age, they
can blow down or bow in one direc on or other. We have a com‐munity of "good neighbor" fencing and requirements to keep the public side painted and properly maintained. This includes those many fenced yards that are along greenbelts or park areas. Those homes have much more of a fence maintenance burden but, it is cri cal for those in par cular to be in the best possible condi on. Those are the fences that display the level of pride and standard that is the hallmark of our community.
Work out any maintenance needed between homes with your neighbors. Perhaps you are able to perform the work yourselves or you may need to hire someone to make those needed repairs. Either way, this is part of ongoing maintenance of your home that needs to be in keeping with NPMA standards. The paint color for fencing is Sherwin Williams Carabou SW 3025. There is no other subs tute color and if your fence has not had at least one fresh coat since the home was built, it is definately me to do so. It is surprising how much of a faceli this can give your landscape.
As always, if you have ques ons or concerns about this topic please contact the NPMA office for assistance.

An Update from Paladin by Corporal W. Kenealey
Suspicious Person Repor ng While most persons wandering door to door may be engaged in poli cal, reli‐gious or commercial canvassing ac vi‐es, this is a common disguise used by
prowlers who are casing homes. Please do not think twice about repor ng these ac vi es. If it feels wrong, it probably is. Paladin maintains the confi‐den ality of repor ng par es and will not contact you (give you away) unless you request to be contacted. In recent weeks there have been a number of suspicious persons within the HOA and surrounding apartment com‐muni es going door to door without apparent lawful pur‐pose, at mes even disguising their face as approaching homes and apartments.
Residen al Burglary on Blackridge Ave ‐ 11/30 A resident returned home from a week long vaca on to find that her home had been burglarized. Paladin and the Sacramento Police Department took reports of the inci‐dent.
Residen al Burglary on Eastbrook Way ‐ 12/06 A resident came home to find someone inside the house. The resident fled the house and was able to flag down a passing Paladin officer. The officer monitored the front of the house un l Sacramento Police arrived. The burglar was found to have already fled the area.
Unlawful Habita on on Riggs Ave ‐ 12/19 Paladin responded to a report of squa ers at a residence. The occupants were found to have a fake lease, and with
the assistance of Sacramento Police officers, were re‐moved from the house.
A empted Home Invasion on Mabry Drive ‐ 12/27 Paladin responded to an a empted home invasion. The suspect had fled just prior to the Paladin Officer's arrival. Based on the descrip on given by the resident, Paladin located one of the suspects in a nearby park. A er a brief chase, the suspect was arrested by the Sacramento Police department and charged with a empted burglary.
