Disgruntled homeowners at east Mesa’s Superstition Lakes condo complex have succeeded in removing their three-member homeowners association board in a long-awaited recall election.
Sixty-seven condo owners voted to recall President Michael Cassady, Vice President Eric Branstrom and Treasurer Wayne Erting amid allegations of financial misconduct, according to community manager Mitch Kellogg Jr. Thirty-six voted to keep them on the board.
The remaining 31 condo owners either didn’t vote or were disqualified from voting.
“With recalls in particular, it’s rare to find that amount of agreement in the community,” said Kellogg, of Metro Property Services. “And if there is a recall election, it’s typically for a rogue board member, one in particular that is completely out of bounds. Very rarely do you find a community getting rid of their whole board.”
