What follows is documentation of concerning actions and conduct of the Aspenbrook HOA Board. I’m keeping a list here because my concerns keep growing.

• False/Misleading Statements (AB Conflict of Interest 7(K), 7(F), CO Rev Stat § 7-128-401(1))
  • Summary: The Board blamed rule violations and "disintegration" of the Board on one-night guests. These statements have no basis in board record. The Board has no information about length of guest stays.
  • Documentation: February Feb. 3, 2025 Board Meeting Agenda Item 10 (source), There is "a very strong correlation between transient rule violations and one-night rentals", one-night rentals were referred to as having "caused the Board to in fact disintegrate" - HOA President Feb. 3 Board Meeting, February Board Meeting Minutes Item 9 (source), Neighborhood Complaint Records Request Response 5/6/2025 (source 1), (source 2).
• Personal Attacks During a Board Meeting (AB Conflict of Interest 7(K))
  • Summary: The Board engaged in ugly name-calling during the Feburary Board Meeting. This follows the 2024 Homeowners Meeting where one of the current Board members even used profanity against another homeowner. This is just not acceptable decorum.
  • Documentation: Board Members characterized homeowners that offered 1-night rentals as greedy ("just about the money"), characterized them not as neighbors but "investors", and referred to their houses as "Motel 6s" during the February 3, 2025 board meeting. Additional disparaging comments were made.
• Refused Retraction of False/Misleading Statements (AB Conflict of Interest 7(K), 7(F), CO Rev Stat § 7-128-401(1))
  • Summary: The Board stated verbally at the Feb. Board meeting (and in writing in the agenda) that one-night rentals are strongly correlated with rule violations. This is just simply false. There is no evidence of this at all. I requested that the Board retract or correct this statement, but they have refused.
  • Documentation:3/12/25 and 3/17/25 - Initial Request (source 1), (source 2), 3/18/25 - Board Refusal (source 1), (source 2), 5/2/25 - Board Refusal at Interrupted ADR (source), 6/20/25 - Attorney Letter Requesting Retraction (source), 7/2/25 - Board Refusal (source), 8/4/25 - Requested Retraction at Board Meeting, the Board President communicated that the Board Refused, 8/6/25 - Board Emailed the neighborhood to refuse to retract (source). 8/6/25 and 8/19/25 - Covenant amendment vote based on the false/misleading statements occurred without retraction from the Board.
• Refused Alternative Dispute Resolution Meeting (AB Alternative Dispute Resolution Policy)
  • Summary: Daniel Parcher and homeowners requested an ADR meeting with the Board to ask them more directly to retract their statements that my one-night guests were causing rule violations. We did all gather on Zoom and start the meeting, but it was interrupted by Zoom and never completed. Daniel and others were not able to explain to the Board their concerns that one of the Board members has been using HOA resources to pursue a personal agenda (a conflict of interest). They asked the Board several times to reconvene but they refused. Interestingly, the Board member whose conflict of interest was to be discussed has been urging the Board not to listen.
  • Documentation:3/12/25 and 3/17/25 - Initial Request (source 1), (source 2), 03/18/25 - Board Refusal (source), 3/18/25 - Reiterated (source), 3/19/25 Board Refuslal (source), 3/19/25 - Clarification (source), 3/21/25 - Board Refusal (source), 4/10/25 - Clarification (source), 4/11/25 - Board Acceptance (source), 4/14/25 - Confirmation (source), 4/29/25 - Interrupted ADR Meeting, "accidentally" disconnected at 30 mins, 5/02/25 - request to complete the meeting (source), 5/12/25 - Board Refusal (source)
• Board Member Voted on Own Conflict of Interest (AB Conflict of Interest 7(A), (J), CO Rev Stat § 7-128-401(1))
  • Summary: As concerned homeowners, Daniel and others asked the Board to hear us out in our concern that the Board President is using the HOA for personal gain. But the Board President voted against discussing this, and influenced the rest of the Board to not listen.
  • Documentation: 6/23/25 - Initial Records Request (source), 7/02/25 Board email chain, which they characterize as a vote, includes conflicted member vote (source1), (source2)
• Board President Makes Motion to Squash Discussion of His Own Conflict of Interest (AB Conflict of Interest 7(A), (J), CO Rev Stat § 7-128-401(1))
  • Summary: During the 10/20/25 Board Meeting, Daniel asked the Board for time at an ADR meeting so Daniel could explain what he sees as a personal conflict of interest from the Board President, Mark. Instead of recusing himself from this topic, Mark openly stated that he opposed such a meeting and called for a motion to deny Daniel’s request. No Board member made any motion. Subsequently, Mark made the motion himself. That is, the Board President initiated a motion to deny a homeowner the opportunity to discuss the Board President’s own personal conflict of interest with the rest of the Board. The motion received a second (Richard) and passed with no comments from any other Board member. (Tiffany Parcher, Board member, recused.)
