Multiple residents accuse Mountain View Park HOA of fraud; callers ask police and DA to investigate

Multiple residents used the public‑comment period to accuse the Mountain View Park Homeowners Association and its long‑time president, identified in comments as Mark Josted, of real‑estate fraud, embezzlement of association funds and improper transfers of condominium units.

Speakers described a pattern they called "cramming" and alleged unauthorized charges, missing statements, absence of elections and improper assessments. Several residents said they had contacted the District Attorney and the police fraud division but had not received effective assistance and asked the city and police department to open investigations and conduct a forensic audit of HOA finances.

John Schulenberger and multiple homeowners described prior attempts to get police and prosecutors to act, and speakers said they believed the issue was longstanding and affected several communities and property owners. Some callers said they had civil judgments in their favor but remain concerned about enforcement and recovery of equity.

City staff told speakers that city staff and police will follow up. Councilmembers did not take immediate council action at the meeting; speakers asked for police attention to alleged crimes and for greater transparency in HOA governance.

The council did not debate or vote on legislation related to homeowners associations at the meeting; residents said they would continue to pursue criminal and civil remedies and expected the police fraud unit and district attorney to respond.
