Fri, Aug 5, 2016 – It appears that Abraham Arrigotti is no longer President of Sierra Corporate Management (SCM) as of Friday, July 29, 2016. He has been replaced by Richard K. Pinel who has been with SCM since 2007. We have confirmed this with three (3) unrelated sources.
Mr. Richard K. Pinel, the new President of Sierra Corporate Management, was present and spoke at the Wednesday, August 3, 2016 Corona City Council Meeting regarding Corona La Linda Mobile Home Park. Based on Mr. Pinel's presentation, we can surmise that it's business as usual. The MHPHOA witnessed the usual placating KSFG/SCM commentary from Mr. Pinel. Not a single person in the KSFG/SCM organization is to be trusted.
Mr. Pinel has been working with KSFG/SCM for nine (9) years, he is part of the business model that all of us have been, and continue to be, subjected to. Do not drop your defenses. Do not accept anything verbally. You must get everything Mr. Pinel, and all other KSFG/SCM staff agree to, in writing.

He joined the firm in 2007, bringing with him 15 years of Property Management experience complemented by another 10 years in Hotel Management.
