| Against | If passed this proposal will inordinately raise HOA dues. I'm a senior retired military member on a fixed income. Therefore, I can only view this proposalas madiness given the state of the current econemy! Yes, some HOA need reining in, but this is not the way. | May-06-2011 |

| Against | It will adversely affect the finances of my HOA and, in fact, force the HOA to increase monthly assessments. It WILL NOT sell more homes and it is only a ploy of the Real Estate interests in our State. They were responsible for the economic crash and they continue to over sell without considering the consequences. VOTE NO! | May-06-2011 |

| Against | Everyone who moves to a community with an HOA signs that they have read the CC&R's, etc. I fthey haven't read them, that's their fault. If they don't like the regulations, don't move here. It's not the legislature's business to interfere with the governing of our community! | May-05-2011 |

| Against | I am well pleased with the community in which I live and resent terribly another intrusion by government, at any level, into my life style and its arbitrary decisions as to what I may or may not do in concert with my neighbors. This is not yet another matter for the state government to insert itself into issues which are clearly the province of community residents, management, and elected leadership.

| Against | I am a homeowner and Board member of my 433 single family homeowner association in Clark County and I urge you to VOTE AGAINST this Bill!!! This Bill only reacts to special interest groups and does not provide for the associations in our state. Transfer fees, as charged by my association, provides for the cost, labor, equipment and time it takes to make the changes from sale of property from owner to owner. Owners must be changed in our computer system, our accounting of both prior owner (seller) and new owner must correctly be updated to reflect payments at closing by title, a welcome letter is sent that provides important association information to the new owner, and mailing addresses are updated if the new owner does not live on property. This takes time and sometimes is not able to be done by only one staff person, so please do not further restrict our HOA's from doing the day to day business operations that are necessary. I believe the current laws relating to procedures to allow owners notice of violations and hearings conducted are appropriate and should not be revised. I believe most Board members (remember, they are volunteers) try to do the right thing, and the few boards that are shown in the media do not reflect on the many associations and boards that are good and fair! I am AGAINST this bill and you as our legislators should be AGAINST this bill!! | May-03-2011 |
| Against | May-03-2011 | |

| Against | May-03-2011 | |
| Against | The cities should be worried since the HOA's won't have the money to maintain the common areas and enforce the basic rules due to lack of funds and the neighborhood could go blight and cause value to further decline which is a decline in property taxes. | May-03-2011 |

| Against | This bill will make it impossible for smaller HOA's to have enough people run for the board(it is difficult enough already). It imposes on everyone to accept irresponsible behavior of the few and when damage is done, not only the guilty party pays, EVERYONE is forced to pay under this bill.

| Against | This bill attempts to largely dismantle the governing and enforcing structures that underpin common interest communities. It largely benefits the small minority of residents who did not bother to review the community CC&R's when purchasing their property and it penalizes the majority of homeowners who both understand the community's rules and who cooperatively participate in maintaining the community. | Apr-14-2011 |
| Against | My name is John Benjamin and I am a board member of Lakeridge Terrace Association and Pecetti Ranch Estates HOA, and a homeowner from Reno. I want to express my OPPOSITION TO SB 185, which will be heard again on Friday, April 15, 2011, in Senate Judiciary. The bill is merely a rehashing of many issues that were thoroughly vetted in the 2009 legislature and not passed then, including a proposed ban on radar gun use. The only beneficial provisions in the bill relate to limitations of certain transfer fees but those exact provisions are in AB 271, Assembly Woman Bustamante Adams' bill. I enjoy my HOA and all it offers and I want to make sure my HOA is not hurt, financially or otherwise. I believe SB 185 will endanger my association and my property values. I ask you to please OPPOSE SB 185. | Apr-14-2011 |

| Against | Senator Schneider tried to get this bill through the legislature in 2009 and failed. NV HOAs would suffer greatly with passage of this bill. With the economic downturn in housing, we are already suffering financially. Let's protect our homeowners who choose to live in a common interest community. | Apr-14-2011 |

| Against | This bill is not only poorly written but is a rehash of many issues vetted and not passed in the 2009 legislature.

| Against | Mr. Schneider has already submitted these amendments in 2009, and they were thoroughly examined and found to be without merit. Why does he again wate the legislature's time with this poorly conceived bill? Mr. Schneider wants to damage all regulatory boards, as evidenced by his current sponsorship of the very poor SB354, and it appears he watns to similarly damage HOA boards with this bill. Coomon-interest communities muyst be able to provide a safe and pleasant environment for their residents. This law will make it much more difficult for HOAs to discharge their duties. | Apr-13-2011 |
| Against | Horrible for the few to dictate to the majority in favor of common sense in CIC community's. I'm a busy Community Manager (SCM 0001113) who strongly reccomends a NO vote. Transfer fees require a lot of work in my office and help pay my average salary. | Apr-13-2011 |

| Against | This major Community Association bill, sponsored by Sen. Michael Schneider, would have significant negative impact on the rights and liberties of our citizens. It is a typical "nanny state" bill creating unfunded mandates and regulations that affect about 1.2 million people in Southern Nevada who live in nearly 3,000 HOA's. As a VP on my HOA board and homeowner, I know my community knows the issues affecting my HOA and the answers to those issues better than someone in Carson City. | Mar-14-2011 |

| Against | You are painting all HOA's with the same brush. Our's is a landscape only organization and as such have a very limited scope. To be further hampered by this bill from collecting fees will result in higher individual fees. More legislation is not the answer to the few bad HOA's. | Mar-14-2011 |
| For | As a board member, I support! I also think you should add a provision in the NRS that says Boards have to mention a dollar amount in agendas to owners when they want to raise dues or spending money. In my view saying there is a cost involved in someting is not sufficient. | Mar-14-2011 |

| Against | 1. (Sec 17) Radar guns are needed to monitor motorist who are driving to fast on private streets. Children & older residents are often outside playing or taking walks (especially in good weather conditions) and are in danger of speeding vehicles. One of the ways to deter this behavior is the use of radar guns. This is a health and safety issue in a community. 2.

| Against | I belong to a committee for our HOA that holds hearings for residents who have received traffic tickets for stop sign violations and speeding. We receive a CD that includes audio of the stop by our officers, and also pictures. For speeding, a picture of the radar reading is included. This greatly helps us in the hearings when people "swear" they were not speeding! When provided with the radar reading, they then admit to the speeding. Without those radar readings, the people in our community (and ther | Mar-13-2011 |

| Against | I am appalled that this legislature (and earlier ones) continue to allow Mr. Schneider and his total bias AGAINST HOA's to destroy them. There are thousands of hard-working and dedicated Board members who deeply resent being called 'gangsters' and worse by this man. I thought that with year being his last in office that he would go out quietly - hopes dashed tho - apparently he continues to attempt to destroy HOA's in total prior to his leaving. You need to get some balance here PLEASE!!! | Mar-12-2011 |

| Against | Without radar in the Community we would have no way to enforce the speed limit in the Community. The way people speed now I can only imagine how this would affect our community which has hundreds of children who walk, bike, skateboard and play in or near the streets. Also, the added costs this bill would dump upon the associations at this time of foreclosure, layoffs etc. would spell disaster for many homeowners and for the commnities in general. | Mar-12-2011 |

| Against | It is obvious SB185 is Senator Schneider's parting shot at the HOA's he detests so much. Instead of using his position to try to make them a better place for everyone, he has used it to try to tear them apart. He has exploited the few bad apples and ignored the 80% plus of us that are happy and choose to live in an HOA because of the rules. This bill takes the teeth of enforcement for speeders, those who would make our streets unsafe. The police can't help us in our communities and now, Senator Schnei | Mar-11-2011 |

| Against | Sen. Schneider continues his determination to reduce the effectiveness of HOA's. It is imperative that Boards have the rule status and financial ability to operate for the good of all members. The current CC&R's protect my investment by maintaing minimal standards. Please review carefully the reasons that CAI cannot support this bill. | Mar-11-2011 |

We nw have school buses that come into our community and many drivers just ignore any speed rules which put all pedestrians in harms way.

| For | I am against some of the provisions in this bill and for some of them. Transfer fees need capped. It is ridiculous to have a transfer fee over $200 to just make name and address changes and send out a welcome letter. I also think that all information should be on a website for the homeowners to see. Password protected. This fee per page and etc is way over the top as far as charges. The monthly fees are so high in most communities already that adding this cost on is not a good idea for those few that are | Mar-11-2011 |
| Against | Essentially higher fees would be imposed on all homeowners instead of those needing special things like the minutes, budget, etc... I don't like any of the changes as proposed and feel it will hurt small and medium size HOA's. I already pay enough in dues - $192. | Mar-11-2011 |
| Against | As an owner and volunteer board member of our HOA, I am opposed to several areas of this bill; one that would allow vehicles operating at dangerous speeds thru private communities; where the HOA and board is responsible for health and safety of its residents. Another is transfer fees that the majority of associations collect to defer the costs, both equipment and labor personnel, to change records upon new ownership.

| Against | It is greatly concerning to me as a homeowner to see a bill that takes the burden of paying for fees and documents off of the person requesting the documents or transferring their property, and spreading that out amongst all homeowners in the Association. The bottom line is - someone has to cover the costs. It should be the person incurring the costs, not everyone. Additionally, if the ability to use radar guns and the like are taken away from the communities with private streets, how are those communi | Mar-11-2011 |
| Against | This bill is going to do nothing but make the HOAs increase their assessments. Who is going to be able to live in a community where assessments jump from $100 to $400 a month because the HOA can't charge for copies, additional keys, etc.? No one. This bill is full of unintended consequences. HOAs can't get members to attend meetings, much less vote on anything. How will they meet CC&R requirements for mandatory amendments or civil actions? They answer, they won't be able to. This bill is horrible and need | Mar-11-2011 |

This bill will severely hamper our ability to try and create a safe environment.

The same thing will happen again and the HOAs will be out the cost. Please do not vote for this bill. There are other sections of the bill that are not good for HOAs.
