LETTER: Not all signed Sun City document

The article in last week’s edition entitled: “Council Faces Tempest Over Mesquite Sports Complex Issue” was well written and captured most of the meeting agenda item discussion. However a very important part of the meeting was missing.

The president of the Board of Directors of Sun City Mesquite, Mr. John Schippert – who first said that he was not representing Pulte or Del Webb – handed out a document that he said was signed by all Sun City residents before purchasing their homes and said that residents had no right to complain about anything. He then stated that there should be no restrictions placed on the event center.
Why is this so important?

Not all residents signed the document handed out by Mr. Schippert. The date on the document was 2020. Anyone purchasing before the event center land was transferred to the city did not sign the document.

Even if we had signed it, there is certainly grounds for action from people owning homes near the center that cannot enjoy living in them.

Mr. Schippert as president of the Board of Directors has a responsibility to act in the best interest of the residents of Sun City. It should not matter that he is also President of a Soccer League.
