WHO IS BEHIND THE RECALL
BACKGROUND |
Ron Beilke is an ex-politician and a former Mayor of Pico Rivera. He was charged with two felony counts and six misdemeanors from his time on City Council by the District Attorney, and was ultimately convicted of 2 misdemeanor counts for conflict of interest by the Los Angeles Superior Court. Beilke was sentenced to three years probation, 30 days of community service, and fined. Additionally, he was banned from running for public office for four years.
ABUSE OF POWER |
Similarly, during his tenure as the former Master HOA president, Beilke abused his power by acquiring a debit card linked to the HOA’s bank account. He egregiously spent thousands of HOA funds on restaurants, entertainment, travel, and other personal expenses for himself and his allies. A forensic audit revealed he misappropriated $192,201.34. He was also censured for taking the community slide and selling it for his personal gain.
Currently, Beilke still sits as the Jasmine HOA Board President and has strong influence over the Camellia HOA Board, who elected to fund over $7,500 for the recall campaign (violation of Civil Code § 5135).
**The TRUTH BEHIND THE RECALL**
​
​​​
Ron Beilke has repeatedly shown that he prioritizes his personal interests over public duty, and this recall effort is no exception. After being held accountable by the current Board, Beilke’s actions appear driven by self-preservation rather than genuine community service.
​
Think about it: serving on the HOA Board is a completely voluntary role. Why would someone go to such extremes to pursue a recall when elections are held annually? Beilke seems willing to employ any measure to protect his interests at the community’s expense.
​
His past and present tactics have included:
-
Draining all three HOA's resources for a recall campaign
-
Using alias "Michael Huerta" on a facebook page to slander and sow negativity about the community
-
Deflecting attention from his own faults by attributing them to others
-
Villainizing those that kept him accountable
-
Stealing campaign signs
-
Suing the association and abusing legal power
-
Illegally using HOA funds for campaigning
-
Employing proxies to gain control of all community boards (Jasmine, Camellia, Master)
​
Beilke’s actions clearly indicate a determination to return to power and reinstate practices that prioritize personal gain over community welfare. It is crucial to recognize these patterns and consider the implications for our HOA's future.
