SCW voters elect new Governing Board Directors
Recreation Centers of Sun City West voters on Monday chose three new Directors and maintained
the Association’s ability to continue enforcing parking regulations.
The referendum regarding parking enforcement passed by an overwhelming margin of 96.5
percent in favor of maintaining the Association’s ability to regulate the roadways, and 3.5 percent
voting against.
“We appreciate members turning out and voting so overwhelmingly in favor of allowing our CC&R
Department to continue doing what we’re doing,” said Property Manager James Riley. “This yes vote
means we can continue maintaining Sun City West the way our Members have come to expect.”
On the Governing Board front, voters chose Jolene Piaskowski, Dennis Horvath and Rudy Grom as
the newest Directors. Piaskowski will immediately fill the remaining term of Harry Stannebein, who
resigned Feb. 6 for personal reasons. Piaskowski will finish that term through June 30, and then on
July 1 will join Horvath and Grom to begin their own full three-year terms.
The three newest Directors will join Tim Hurley, Jack Leary, Christine Novello, Dick Rhoades, Alan
Schlemmer, and Kay Williams, who continue on the Board. Terms for Directors Terry Hamman and
Lisa Vines end June 30.
The Governing Board is comprised of nine Owner-Members, all of whom are volunteers and receive
no compensation. They serve three-year staggered terms, with one-third of the Board turning over
every year.
This year’s election was the second-highest on record, and included perhaps the highest number
of candidates, with eight vying for the three positions. A total of 10,142 votes were cast (39.1
percent).
The candidates, in order of their vote totals, were:
• Jolene Piaskowski, 4,258 votes
• Dennis Horvath, 3,995 votes
• Rudy Grom, 3,827 votes
• John Chattin, 3,802 votes
• Nick Turner, 3,548 votes
• William “Bud” Meador, 3,241 votes
