Meet The Candidates!

 

Our family bought our first house in 2012 up in Oak Vista, and we moved to Edelweiss last summer. We're cyclists and skiers, and SunCrest is uniquely perfect for our lifestyle.

 

I'm a software engineer working on personal projects, startups, and sometimes with larger corporations. Being technically correct on an issue isn't enough. Effective communication, persuasion, and compromise brings people along as a happier, more unified group. We've all had situations where our concerns weren't given a full hearing or dismissed entirely. It's a horrible feeling. And how people feel about a decision is as important as the decision itself.

Hello neighbors! A fun-loving, pragmatic, and conscientious Suncrest resident, my name is Lisa Holcomb, and Suncrest has been home for me and my family for over 20 years. I have a strong desire to maintain the core values of family and community, while maintaining the beauty of our unique community alongside a balanced budget and a continued strengthened relationship with Draper City. With over 25 years as a Technical Operations and Security Manager, I believe I can offer developed skills in negotiating, compromising, and listening. As your elected board member, the votes I would cast would be to serve the community at large, not to serve my own personal interests. My journey to serve our community began early on in my residency at Suncrest. I have been involved with committees and board representation, including most recently serving the community as a board of trustees, and I look forward to another opportunity.

 

A diverse board aids in checks and balances of strategic planning and oversight in relevant community mission, direction, and goals, asset protection, ensuring fiduciary accountability, and to keep the community’s best interest at the core of all decisions. At times, there will be difficult outcomes to be made as a board. Suncrest needs a board that will be able to navigate and focus on putting the best interest of the community first. I have no hidden agendas and welcome open discussion with homeowners if there are ever any questions on my thought process. This is our community, and I share with you the common goal of preserving the beauty, nature, and mountain vibe of our space and the coveted uniqueness of living at Suncrest. There is continued work to be done in fiducial oversight to ensure the reinvestment fee is being used appropriately, continued efforts to keep our community fire-wise, and ways to look for opportunities and planning to maintain the desirability of living at Suncrest.

 

Healthy dialogue between board members and homeowners will need to be in place to ensure continued success to preserve our wonderful community and ensure Suncrest is a place we are all proud to call home. Over twenty years of living at Suncrest and being active in the Draper community, as well as my knowledge of Suncrest CC&Rs, By-Laws, and my love, commitment, and passion for our community are reasons why I would love to once again serve on the board of trustees.

 

Thank you for your consideration.

 

My name is Bill Maxwell. I have been a Suncrest Board Member for the last several years. I have spent the last 2 years as the Suncrest HOA President and have appreciated the opportunity to serve. I have been a Suncrest resident now for 13 years. I not only live in Suncrest, but my business is here as well, so the community is very important to me. My office is in the Koch Building across from the Club House.

 

I am a commercial insurance agent specializing in Long Haul Trucking accounts.

 

I worked for a CPA for 4 years as I was an accounting major at the time, so I know how to read a financial statement. I also read insurance contracts almost every day, so I have the ability to understand the contracts that the community needs to negotiate with various vendors.

 

I work for myself, so I am able to allocate the time needed to perform the job with the Suncrest Board and have been able to meet with Brennen and other board members during the day if needed, as I am on site here in Suncrest.

 

I also have some local government experience. I was on the Bluffdale Planning and Zoning Board for two years before being elected to the Bluffdale City Council for 4 years. So I understand the workings of City Government.

 

I also serve on the Stoneleigh Heights Board of Directors as the Treasurer, and think that this has been helpful in coordinating some challenging situations with the sub-association of Suncrest.

 

My main reason for wishing to serve on the Suncrest Board is to make sure we are spending Association Fees responsibly. It is very easy for semi-governmental agencies like the Suncrest Board to say, “We have money in the Project Fund account, so let’s find something to spend it on.” That does not work for me. I am all for maintaining a certain level of lifestyle in our community, but wish to make sure we are spending Association Fees wisely. We live in a wonderful area, and it is my desire to help protect what we have here.

 

I am honored to ask for your vote for another term. I have been a Trustee for three terms, and am proud and happy with our results. We are well managed.

 

Our uniquely beautiful community demands a vision: I want SunCrest to continue to be the most desirable community in the Valley. Our property values should continue to grow powerfully if we continue our wise, pro-active stewardship.

 

For a Trustee, the easiest vote to take can also be the most dangerous to our community and destructive for our property values. My vote will always maintain our standards, eliminate ALL unnecessary costs, and manage inflation responsibly. I have done that and will continue to do so if re-elected.

 

Thank you

Larry Nilssen
