• Did you know the Sheffield Board of Directors issues Cease and Desist orders from high-price lawyers against homeowners preventing them from thier Illinois State Law RIGHTS?
• Today, 8-19-2024, I spoke with a gentleman who has lived here for ten years and makes a living with his tools and truck that he parks at 1000 N. Walnut Ln. He said that his tools have been stolen from his car twice in the past few years. He also commented that the association refuses to put cameras up to catch the thief. I also saw today the remnants of a large party in the parking lot with a bottle of hard liquor all over. On 8-16-2024, while I was out for my walk and was solicited for sex, she was stone drunk. Why don't we have more security?
• Ask yourself, is this self managed community working for you?
• On 8-21-2024, I had a conversation with a homeowner who has been part of our community for sixteen years. His disappointment with the Board and Property management was palpable, and it's a sentiment I've noticed among many homeowners. It's time for us to come together and take collective action. Let's unite to bring about change by replacing the entire board of directors in the fall when they lose their grip on the community. We must demand NO to a Proxy Vote to ensure our voices are heard. As a community, we need to reflect on the past twenty years and ask, where has all the money gone? (See Examples of Neglect)
• Did you know that the board of directors is a CLUB? That is correct. I spoke with several homeowners who wish to fill empty slots on the Sheffield town board but were told they could NOT be on the board because they were not in the CLUB. Do you think this violation of homeowners' rights is a way for the board to manipulate the fair and free election of the Sheffield Board of Directors? And for what reason would they do this? Is it time for full disclosure?
• Why do the employees and contractors take pictures and video of homeowners? This is a viloation of our rights and it is CREEPY!
• DO NOT GIVE YOUR PROXY VOTE TO THE SHEFFIELD BOARD OF DIRECTORS!!
  Chuck Watson - REMOVED - Not a Homeowner. Should renters be on the board? They cannot and should NOT VOTE! We checked with the Illinois counsel and discovered that our bylaws allowing non-unit owners to serve on the board had been overridden by state law. Chuck Watson stepped down with that because he wasn't on the deed. He intends to get his name on the deed so he can rejoin, and the board appointed his wife in the interim. A single vote made no decisions during his tenure. We need to confirm this. ( sent to me from Mark Johnson) This action was only taken after I told them I would report the violation to the state. The board has been breaking state law for years! The Voice spoke with a lawyer, and it does not matter what the vote count was for a vote; they are all invalid because Chuck can influence the vote!
• Should homeowners who were left out of the 2008 remodeling ($5,000,000) be compensated for our reduced home values, as estimated by Doug Grier? Sheffield Towne board president did an analysis and wrote that it would increase the value of the phase one townhome by 10 to 15 percent. Read the Proposal from Doug Grier 2008 Phase Proposal. Be sure to read the GOALs. Should homeowners who have lived here longer get priority in increasing our property values and curb appeal?

• Have you noticed all the work being done in the past four months? Have you ever wondered why it took, in some cases, decades for the Sheffield Board of Directors to take action to repair our parking and landscaping? And why now? Is it because of this website?
• Why does Sheffield have such a low curb appeal compared to Windsong Schaumburg?
• Why don't we have a 1,3,5,10, and 25-year plan for the community?
• Why are there cables running through the streets and overhead in the trees? Is it the responsibility of property management to ensure safety? Should they be working with the offenders to get this EYE-SOARE removed?
• Why did it take repeated posts for years to resolve the garbage and trash problems?
• What is the Association Dues history over the past 35 years, and what did we get for the increase?
• Why do the employees spend so many hours a day riding around in a truck with two people in it three to four times a day, doing nothing, driving past violations and trash?
• Why was our tree trimming and landscaping neglected for so many years? Why did the work finally get done after posting this neglect on social media?
• Why won't you take your SIGNS down? It's what the people want after they voted in March, April, May, June, and now July? Are there some homeowners in Schaumburg who have yet to see a clear eye-sore of a sign to the community, and why do you continue?
• Why did the board allow the Architectural Commity to be disbanded, allowing for no oversight?

• Why can't a homeowner submit a Work order Request on the association's website? Or the FAQ page:
  Q: If I want to serve on a committee, how do I find out what committees are active and how I can get involved?
  A: The Contact Us page(there is no form) of this website will inform you of the status of current committees organized and committee contact information. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact the committee chair(No Chair) or fill out the online volunteer form found on the Management Office page of this site.
• Why has the Board of Directors not polled the community to see what is important to us?
• For thirty days, I've walked, driven, or biked through the association property between 7:30 AM and 9:30 PM, and I rarely see any of the trucks or employees on the property. They seemed to be parked at the barn most of the day. What are they doing?
