Insurance: Nationwide, the HOA’s current insurance company is no longer providing insurance in Colorado so selecting a new insurance provider is required. Secretary Amber Dern identified insurance providers and gathered quotes for board review. Director Dern received two viable quotes, one of which was presented to the Board for discussion. The second quote required further review and clarification before presentation to the Board. Discussion was had about the presented insurance quote. A decision was tabled until Director Dern could review the other quote and obtain answers to board member questions.

Lawsuit Craig Pryor vs. Red Rock Ranch HOA: Director Dern gave a synopsis of the Homeowner meeting she and Director Laura Quinlan attended held by Chris Abayta. She thanked the homeowners who attended for their participation and the host for facilitating a meeting involving Craig Pryor. The meeting produced a two item proposal for the Board: First, recognition the covenants terminated and are not in effect and second, acknowledgement the covenants are not enforceable by the HOA. The homeowner’s proposal was presented to the Board during an executive session held prior to the board meeting. The HOA’s lawyer was also consulted regarding the proposal. The Board reached the conclusion the HOA’s governing documents do not grant them the power to declare the Covenants invalid. Additionally taking this proposed action could expose the HOA to litigation if the Board attempts to act outside the limits of its power.

Chris Abayta was invited to speak about the homeowner meeting. He read a group summary and reiterated the proposal. He stated a belief Craig Pryor might settle if the Board pursued the proposed actions. President Lonquist opened discussion to include guest questions and comments. Discussion was had about the validity of the the covenants, other legal actions the Board is attempting, the 2010 extension, and the HOA governing documents.

Guests: Mark Morton inquired about the process to create covenants and if the Bylaws allow the HOA to adopt new covenants. President Lonnquist responded a membership vote is required to adopt covenants. The hierarchy of governing documents was also explained.

Chris Abayta inquired about the percentage of votes needed to create new covenants. President Lonnquist responded that the percentage needed was unclear and would need to be researched.

John Lumen inquired if case law had been provided by legal counsel to support the HOA’s case. President Lonnquist responded affirmative.

Ketch Nowacki discussed the covenants termination, suggested the Board hold a member vote, and begin the process of coming up with new covenants.

Robert Schulte inquired about the outcome of the Special assessment vote. President Lonnquist responded the final tally will not be known until after the 15th of November when voting ends.

Tammy Jones inquired about the percentage vote needed to reinstate the covenants, possible alternative meeting space options, and a break down of the legal expenses. President Lonnquist responded discovering the percentage of votes needed to reinstate the covenants would require legal advice and funds. Director Griffith responded with a brief synopsis of the legal expenses.

Joe Suckow inquired about the Boards plan for enforcing the assessment if it passes. President Lonnquist responded the Board does not yet have a plan.

John Vigueria thanked the Board for their time and inquired as to what happens if the HOA can not afford legal representation. President Lonnquist responded the HOA will have to go to trial without representation.

Janet Giese inquired about the termination date in the covenants and if the board had made a statement about it. President Lonnquist responded the termination date is in the covenants and is not in dispute.

Each guest was given their 3 minute opportunity to speak. President Lonnquist inquired if the Board wished to proceed with further guest questions and discussion. Affirmation was given by the Board and discussion continued.

Topics for discussion included alternative ways to end the lawsuit, meeting with Craig Pryor again, limits placed on the Board by the governing documents, and summary judgement motions.

Director Miller thanked all the homeowners for providing comments, perspectives, and input. Director Guy reminded homeowners all the HOA’s governing documents are available on the website (rrrhoa.org
