Backing the Recall?

"Wolfpack" has become synonymous with the faction led by Wolf, symbolizing both his outsized influence in Bell Canyon affairs and the controversies that have followed. This is the same group that led our community into $11 million in debt.

Now, the faction pushing for a recall—what many are calling "Wolfpack 2.0"—continues to divide Bell Canyon. A court of law has already found their conduct to breach fiduciary duty, actions deemed not only irresponsible but carried out in bad faith.

If you haven’t reviewed the audit yet, I strongly encourage you to do so.

Bell Canyon Residents: Don’t Be Fooled Again — This Is Wolfpack 2.0

The polished photos, the carefully worded claims of "independence," the staged smiles — it’s all smoke and mirrors. The five candidates aligned with Lisa and Eric Wolf are not the fresh start they pretend to be. This is the same group, the same tactics, the same self-serving agenda — just with a new coat of paint.

They want you to believe they’re neutral. Independent. “Community-minded.” But make no mistake: they’re deeply embedded in the Wolfpack machine. The very people who brought division, dysfunction, and discord to our community are now trying to sneak their way back into power under a rebranded banner.

Don’t be fooled by Kardashian-style photo ops or PR spin. This is Wolfpack 2.0 — and we've seen this movie before. Behind the glamor and gloss is a coordinated group pushing personal interests over community needs.

Bell Canyon deserves better. We need real leadership — not more of the same dressed up in faux-independence.

Vote wisely. Look beyond the surface. Protect the progress we've made.

Steve Rasnick (photo on the left) is a current member of the HOA Board, originally elected as part of the previous "Wolfpack" group. Since taking office, he has repeatedly breached his fiduciary duty and has been contacted multiple times by the HOA attorney regarding his conduct. His actions reveal a singular focus: serving the interests of the Wolfpack, not the community.

Left the equestrian center the moment Lisa was removed. He doesn’t care about the horses or the future of the canyon—his only motive is Eric and Lisa, not Bell Canyon.

Yoav Shalev

Andres Martinez

Acting as a mouthpiece for Eric Wolf, repeating many of the same lies and deceptive tactics from the past. His posts and letters are misleading the community and should be viewed with caution, especially considering his close ties to Eric Wolf.

Sandy Seth

Andres Martinez

Tim Redfield

Confused about his candidacy and hasn’t reviewed his own website, which attacks the current board. At HOA meetings, he curses while talking to board members and belittles residents. His wife has also been seen attacking homeowners with Bell Canyon Strong. Sandy’s gift of an expensive bottle of alcohol to Eric Wolf creates a personal debt

Show Less

Tim Redfield

Andres Martinez

Tim Redfield

Known for his silly videos, treats our canyon’s serious challenges like a joke. As a new homeowner, he lacks real understanding and parrots wolfpack propaganda. He’s spread misinformation, lied about election signage, and falsely attacked the HOA president. This kind of deception and disrespect has no place in our community leadership.

The Recall Petition

Many of the individuals who were on the board when our community fell into $11 million of debt breached their fiduciary duties under the law and acted in bad faith. These are the same people now involved in the clawback lawsuit. Now, they are pushing a recall—not out of concern for the community, but out of self-interest.

This recall is yet another unnecessary expense for a community that is already financially hurting—once again, caused by the very people who signed and are promoting this recall

Bell Canyon United

We’ve seen this before — the confusion, the deflection, the carefully worded misinformation. The fingerprints of Eric Wolf are all over Bell Canyon United’s email blasts, social media posts, and website. These are the same manipulative tactics that plagued our community for over a decade.

Eric Wolf sued the Reingolds and halted construction on their home

Let’s not forget the truth:

Eight years of financial and emotional suffering. This wasn’t just a dispute — it was a calculated campaign of obstruction. Legal fees skyrocketed, as Wolf hired his own friends as attorneys and began writing checks from HOA accounts behind closed doors, without transparency or accountability.

Reingold

Bell Canyon deserves better.

Who spends $10 million of HOA resources just to stop a family from building a single-story home, hidden behind rocks, bothering no one?

Bell Canyon United is tied to individuals who were found in court to have breached their fiduciary duty — those who acted in bad faith and caused a decade of harm to our community. Leadership should be earned through integrity, transparency, and a demonstrated commitment to the greater good — not recycled from past dysfunction.

These aren't fresh ideas or new voices. This is the same playbook, same tactics, same damage — repackaged.

This isn’t about protecting the canyon. It’s about control, ego, and personal agendas, paid for with your money and your peace of mind.

To Our Fellow BCA Members,

Yesterday, our community had a "Meet the Candidates" debate—an open forum to share ideas, ask questions, and hear directly from those who seek to lead this community.

We were there, answered every question, and stood on our record and vision for Bell Canyon.

The candidates behind the recall effort were included but chose not to attend. For the first time in Bell Canyon's history, board of director candidates avoided your scrutiny at a Meet the Candidates Meeting.

Not only did they refuse to show up for a recall they requested, but also actively promoted a boycott of the very process meant to empower you, the voters, to have candidates answer hard questions in person on a single stage, allowing you to determine for whom you want to vote!

We believe that leadership matters --- and sunlight is the greatest antiseptic!

* Leadership doesn't hide behind email blasts and videos. Courage shows up. Cowardice sends emails. Anyone can make claims and accusations behind closed doors—leaders answer questions in public.

* Those who refuse to answer questions today should never be trusted with answers tomorrow as they seek power but hide from accountability; that's not transparency—it's avoidance, it is evasion, it is fear dressed as a strategy.

* They want your vote—but not your questions. That's not leadership; those avoiding questions before the election are the ones who will ignore your questions after it.

A recall should be serious, rare, and rooted in substance. And those who initiate it should have the courage to stand before the community and explain why. Their silence speaks volumes.

We remain committed to open dialogue, fiscal responsibility, safety, and the protection of Bell Canyon's future. We trust that the residents of this community will see through the noise and vote with facts, not fear.

We lead heads high, stating our views and explaining them, available to publicly answer any question openly and honestly, realizing that our mission is more important than throwing stones at every barking dog.

Theodore Roosevelt's quote, The Man in the Arena, is the difference between them and us. Please read it and Vote NO in the Recall!

With respect,

Bell Canyon HOA Board of Directors

The Man in the Arena

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

― Theodore Roosevelt (“Citizenship in a Republic”; Paris, France; April 23, 1910)

As the recall election that will shape the future of Bell Canyon approaches, it's important to ask: Who is really behind it? And why aren't they speaking honestly and openly?

Many of you have mentioned your familiarity with their campaign messaging. That's because the messages mirror the tone, subjects, lines of criticism, content, writing style, and deceptive manner of Eric Wolf, the past HOA president, present BCVWFD Assistant Chief, and present Fire Safe Council President, who is now facing legal action by the HOA. His style of gaslighting, throwing as much as possible at the wall, saying it over and over again, and hoping something sticks, is as dependable as the sun rising in the east.

Rather than facing the impossible task of facing voters again, he now works from the shadows, writing others' messages while avoiding public accountability. The messages you're receiving may carry the names of new candidates, but the ideas are recycled from someone who refuses to speak openly or stand behind his words.

Nor will the candidates accept the scrutiny of direct challenges to their accusations. Two of the candidates now running also ran in the last election when MRI did Eric's bidding.

This campaign is not about fresh leadership—it's about protecting Eric Wolf's interest, not yours. It's not about transparency—it's about disguise. It is not being run by the people you think. Please see through this facade and consider who has the most to gain by this Recall --- Eric Wolf. If he succeeds in getting these candidates elected, the lawsuits against him will be dropped, and the community will have more of what he brought us the last time --- chaos and financial ruin. Only you can stop it.

Our community deserves honest leadership --- the kind that signs its name, answers your questions, and shows up when it matters.

We're proud of our record. When they don't show up, we're proud to stand in front of you and answer anything. And we'll keep doing just that.

For Michael Rabkin HOA lawyer to Steve Resnick second notice

You misunderstand who my client is. I represent the elected board of directors acting by the board majority of a quorum. The board has appointed a board legal liaison who instructs me. There is and would be no reason to include you in a meeting to discuss your own breach of fiduciary duty to the association corporation, for the simple reason that the board majority is taking action against you. I do not represent any individual board member, and never have.

The board assures me that it is not possible that you obtained everything stated in your letter outside of executive session board meetings, but that misses the point. You are writing as a sitting board member about board actions. As a sitting board member, you owe a fiduciary duty to the board not to air your board grievances publicly using your board position to do so. As I wrote, you are free as an association owner to state whatever you want (provided that nothing stated is confidential and obtained from executive session board meetings). If you disagree with the board, then state so at the board meetings, and vote as you wish, but to write to the entire community on your board letterhead breaches your fiduciary duty to the association corporation.

My letter to you is not privileged, obviously, since I wrote it to you, and you are not my client.

I intend to continue to represent my client vigorously. I would urge you to work within your own ethical obligation to the association corporation, and not breach your fiduciary duty to it.

Best,

Michael
