  Gio HOA Exterior Modifications Dispute

  by Vince G, about 1 year ago

  My story is simply too long to type it out in this space - dating all the way back to Aug 2022 - and the issue is still in dispute and unresolved as of this date - Nov. 1, 2023. If I could be provided with an Email address, to which I might send the chronology of events, communications, and action between ourselves and the HOA Board and its Management Company, I would be pleased to do so with our story - and wish to do so - if an email address would be provided or any Task Force member's...

  Task Force Observations

  by gvito, about 1 year ago
  I took the opportunity to sit in on the first Task Force Meeting via YouTube. I was disappointed to realize what I consider the typical homeowner who pays their assessments on time and follows the rules was once again, not represented. While the suggestion that disputes be resolved by alternative methods rather than in the courts, might be an improvement, my question is who will pay for that service? Certainly, any mediation service or arbitrator would need to be compensated. Please make certain that the HOA is not solely responsible for paying those fees. The homeowner and HOA ought to...

  Citizen Sub Committee

  by BillThom, about 1 year ago

  The HOA to which I pay my dues every month has three members of the Board of Directors. None of the three live in the complex; they are all three absentee owners. They have little daily interaction with the members and are frequently unaware of the problems that occur within the complex. Their main concern is not the maintenance of the units, but the maintenance of the profitability of their rental units.

  In viewing the hearing of the Task Force yesterday, I perceived that nearly all, if not all, of those who serve on the Task Force were real estate... Continue reading

  Thank You !!! Now What?

  by Neuromate, about 1 year ago

  While attending the Webinar I was heartened to hear that Connie Van Dorn had read all the stories before the meeting. The growing collection is now 15 web pages long, it means allot to know what one has to say is being heard. Submitted the story of our HOA from my POV some weeks ago under the title, "Best Community Financial Practices or Narrow Self Interest?

  And found the input by Richard Brown most relevant to our HOA's situation; i.e. management of Reserve and Operating Funds, Reserve Fund Studies appraisal and management. LOCK BOX on funds for emergencies and major... Continue reading

  Enforcement CCIOA needed

  by Carol Stevenson, about 1 year ago

  
  

  Licensing of Property Mangers- Polis is not in favor! See his comments below.

  Without enforcement nothing will be resolved!

  Most concerns can be settled by the HOA Board if CCIOA is followed.

  Suggestion of steps if Property Management were licensed and a place for enforcement. Concerns are taken, 1^st HOA Board, 2^nd if not cured- 3rd to Colorado HOA Information and Resource Center files concern data into a database, (Colorado HOA Center HB-10-1278, effective January 1, 2011), forwards to, 4th Dora has retired judges that understand CCIOA reviews, 5th Dora /Judge discuss ruling, and Dora makes final decision...

  My suggestions for the HOA Task Force

  by Chet Myers, about 1 year ago
  Good morning, I had the opportunity to sit in on the Task Force meeting yesterday which began at 3:00 pm. I run a business, so I had to pop in an out occasionally for short periods of time. So I may have missed a few things.

  
  

  I currently belong to an HOA. Some years back I was a VP of a an HOA Board.

  I was impressed by the knowledge set, discourse, and professionalism.

  
  

  My suggestions are two ...once the Task Force picks a method to approach the various issues, what I heard was an 'arbitration' approach under the DORA... Continue reading

  I CAN’T SELL MY HOME and WE ARE FACING FORECLOSURE

  by Denise, about 1 year ago

  I CAN’T SELL MY HOME and WE ARE FACING FORECLOSURE

  I am the oldest daughter and personal representative of my deceased Mother who was a resident of Fairfield Village at Quincy Reservoir community until March 31st, 2023.

  My family is enduring major hardships and setbacks brought upon by an ongoing unresolved roof claim for Fairfield Village. We had a contract to sell our home back in July and couldn't close when the lender backed out at the last minute due to the change in the HOA roof insurance policy when the coverage changed from replacement to actual cash value.

  HOA abuses of power

  by Barbara1!, about 1 year ago
  HOAs exercise potentially tyrannical governmental power, but with none of the limitations, such as due process and equal protection. HOAs get away with abuse of power for three reasons, all of which can be changed by amending CCIOA. First, the decision-makers, typically board members, are protected from their misdeeds by exculpatory provisions that require proof of willful and wanton misconduct. All such provisions should be prohibited. The HOA industry will say, "Then no one will serve on a board." If someone will only serve if they are effectively immune, then they should not serve. Would you want to be operated... Continue reading

  HOA President

  by Luckygirl1986, about 1 year ago
  The president of our HOA has abused her position for years. Her and other board members voted to allow themselves to use a work out room for their personal storage. She violates fire laws by blocking fire exits with her planters. She has one assigned parking spot, but uses 3 different spaces.

  After my partner passed away 18 years ago, she harassed and reported me for every little thing, I finally confronted her. While trying to talk to her, she removed her patio screen and slammed it into me, while pushing me backwards off the patio. (Patios and balconies are... Continue reading

  CCIOA Lacks Specificity To Hold Non-Compliant Boards Accountable

  by Andrew Mowery, about 1 year ago

  One of the key reasons the HOA Homeowners Rights Task Force needs to consider overhauling CCIOA is that it almost deliberately lacks specificity that would allow a homeowner to use the Courts to enforce CCIOA (or the Non-Profit Act, or HUD/FHA law/rules) to have a successful claim upon which relief may be granted. Because disputes with HOA Boards (or even CAMs or the HOA General Counsel itself) may only be resolved with private litigation in the current design, a combination of lack of specificity or lack of statutory claims combines with the Business Judgement Rule to make litigation cost-prohibitive, and...
