Christine Novello, president of the Recreation Centers of Sun City West, told residents the governing board convened to clear up confusion and offered a firm assurance: "RCSCW or the recreation centers of Sun City West, we're financially secure. None of our properties are currently for sale and we're not looking to acquire additional properties at this time."

Novello, who identified herself as the governing board president, opened the meeting by addressing homeowners' concerns about property status and association finances and invited residents to reach out to the board with questions at gb@suncitywest.com or during her office hours. She also noted the board holds a regular monthly meeting and committee workshops for community engagement.

Alan Schlemmer, a director on the RCSCW governing board, placed Sun City West in context, saying construction began in 1978 and that the community is unincorporated within Maricopa County: "We do not issue taxes. We actually don't have a government." He described the Recreation Centers of Sun City West as a not-for-profit corporation that manages association property, maintains amenities and programs, and is funded in part by mandatory annual dues from homeowners.

The board clarified how RCSCW differs from PORA (Property Owners and Residents Association). Schlemmer said PORA was formed by the developer to advocate to local and state governments and has its own membership and dues. "PORA's real obligation is to, basically, be a voice of Sun City," he said, and Christine Novello confirmed that PORA membership is optional and that the two organizations are separate and do not interfere in each other's operations.

The board did not propose or take formal action during this meeting. Novello closed by urging residents to attend meetings, ask questions, and enjoy Sun City West's amenities.
