The Edgewood Information Archive

Summary: In mid-2024, concerns were raised regarding the Edgewood HOA's financial management. At the annual meeting, President Burden reported that the association's reserves were at 55%. However, subsequent communications indicated that the actual reserves were only 8%, suggesting a significant discrepancy in the HOA's financial health.

10/15/2024 Board Meeting: Patti Burden, Citrus Heights Edgewood Homeowners Association Board President, has admitted to falsifying Edgewood’s financial disclosures and misrepresenting the actual financial status of the Edgewood HOA.

The update is confirmed here.

This is a forum post, reposting here for visibility.

Additional forum thread with updates HERE.

Keep in mind that the Board terminated Network Community Management / Tony Zogopoulos and sent cease and desists just before and after this was initially reported.

It's bad—please read the first five pages of the Reserve Study PDF carefully.

Edgewood Homeowners Association does not have any valid financial forecasts.

If you are selling your home, do not use data from the reserve report to answer questions about the Citrus Heights Edgewood HOA's financials. If anyone has purchased a townhome relatively recently, and were provided financial data about the Edgewood HOA while researching your purchase, please contact me at: shanehill@edgewoodhoa.org.

If you are an Edgewood Homeowner and would like to discuss the recall effort, and especially if you have questions, please call: (279) 252-8072, email: community@edgewoodhoa.org, or try the forum.

The following (before the update, below) was posted in the middle of July, 2024 to the Edgewood Community Forum at www.edgewoodhoa.org. Once I received the erroneous Reserve Study report in August, the posts were updated with documentation and supporting facts. (The $5120 figure was corrected to $4167 once the Association's financial disclosure documents were acquired by the Edgewood Home Owner Advocacy Group.)

As mentioned in another post, I talked to Tony, the owner of the now-terminated property management company, Network Community Management, post-firing.  Good conversation.

This board has been lying about Edgewood's financial standing.

The HOA board president told us we were at 55% reserves at the annual meeting and in written communications. The 55% reserve in the bank was based on all association members paying a $5K special assessment—which we may still need to pay because of the tremendous mismanagement we have endured for so many years. The reserve specialist advised this $5,120 special assessment.

Remember, they patted themselves on their backs when they told us they had 55% in reserve by being fiscally responsible.  Pat knew this was false.  

Since you didn’t each write out a check for $5,120.00 to the HOA, we are at 8% reserves, which is critically low.

Tony of Network Community Management confronted Pat about this lie, which he believes is why he and his company were fired.  Tony told me he knew he'd possibly get fired for confronting Pat, but he was preparing to quit this community anyway because it's unmanageable with this board.

It's becoming clear that this board's actions are causing a revolving door of property management companies.  To that end, I'm still gathering information about previous management companies to continue our investigation.

This board's mismanagement has reached a critical stage with severe implications for the entire community.

Discuss this news in the FORUM.

"By holding off on major projects this last year, our reserves are funded at 55.5%. Needless to say, it's better to be fully funded."
