Minutes of two (2) HOA meetings

My latest grievance, one of many, I asked for the minutes of two (2) meetings held in November. November 15, 2023, I was unable to attend the meeting or participate in the discussion, in order to keep updated and informed, but had a question.

November 29, 2023, I was able to attend the meeting, but unable to hear names, discussion, in order to keep updated and informed, but have not received the records.

The HOA responses have been, November 13, Once the minutes are approved they will be posted in the portal.

November 17, Please plan to attend the annual meeting on November 29. An email was sent out last night regarding the meeting. All questions will be answered at this meeting.

November 28, November minutes have not been approved yet. They will be approved until the next Board meeting.

December 4, The meeting minutes are about to be approved and posted to the portal.

January 9, I am Melissa Stern, the new manager of Eastlake Shores. I received your request for the minutes for the Annual Meeting that took place on 11/29/23. However, I want to inform you that the minutes have not been approved yet to post to the portal. Regarding the 11/15/23 minutes, those were not approved as I was not aware of that meeting when I met with the Board last night for the Board meeting.

The Annual Meeting minutes are not approved until the next Annual Meeting, when they are approved by the Membership. Once all minutes are approved at either the Annual or Board Meeting, they will be posted on the HOA portal where you can access them.

I contacted, Nick Altmann of DORA, asking for advice, after sending a certified letter, on December 29, 2023, was notified by USPS tracking, unable to deliver, no one to sign for it, notification was left, it was returned, unclaimed, on January 16, 2024. I also, sent a second letter, regular mail, to the HOA on January 5, 2024.

On January 16, I asked Nick Altmann, where I was in the process and he responded, "You might consider reaching out to a qualified Colorado Attorney to help you more fully understand your rights and responsibilities as unfortunately this office can not provide legal advice.

As I said to him, these seem like extreme measures for a simple request.

I was hesitant to buy knowing there was an HOA, I wish I'd listened to my instincts, if I could I'd move but can't afford to.

Thank You for giving me an opportunity to tell my story.

Sincerely,

Diane Bement
