Resident concerns:
Mr. Nowacki expressed concern about members not seeing written correspondence to the board. Vice President Miller explained the Board is following Colorado law regarding correspondence to the Board. Specifically, Colorado Revised Nonprofit Corporation Act, Article 7-136-101/102 states that member correspondence to the Board is not releasable to members.
Mr. Nowacki would like to see a letter of candidacy for candidates running for board seats and would like clarification on appointed members. He also suggested creating a committee to avoid having to wait a year to approve the member meeting minutes.
Member meeting minutes must be approved by a majority of the members. The members only meet once a year.
Mr. Pryor expressed concern about vacant board positions being filled without notification to members. The RRRHOA Covenants give the Board the authority to fill vacant Board positions. The covenants do not require the Board to notify members before filling a vacant Board position.
Mr. Pryor pointed out that the member meeting date is incorrect on the website. The Board recently revised the meeting date because of facility availability. Consequently, it may take a few days for the HOA webmaster to update the website.
Round the room: Treasurer Griffith advised that The Corporate Transparency Act may affect HOA’s. PII for each board member may be required by the end of the year.
President Lonnquist advised of a bill (HB24-1152) that addresses Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU). This bill may not apply to high fire danger areas, like RRR.

Furthermore, he went to suggest she “…should explain her concern at the Jan 8 meeting and provide us with an example of what she considers to be harassment and behaviors that cause anxiety and fear.” What better example of harassment is there than Mr. Nowacki’s own words above. It is not the responsibility of any Board member to clarify or justify their personal reasons for resigning. The words speak for themselves. These personal views are unrelated to the business of the Board and do not impact any business of the Board. Therefore, the Board considers this issue is closed. “Per your request Mr. Nowacki this concern is not valid; you can close out your inquiry.

Mr. Nowacki: Mr. Nowacki feels he has not received adequate financial information.
There was discussion about what the Board has already supplied to Mr. Nowacki. Mr. Nowacki interrupted the speaker several times and was asked to stop.
