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.

• Board Meeting Minutes Falsified to Cover Up Misconduct at the October '25 Board Meeting (Collaboration to conceal conflict of interest)
  • Summary: The Board appears to be using meeting minutes to cover up its own misconduct. One of the issues discussed at the October 2025 Board Meeting was an owner’s concern about a conflict of interest involving a Board member (Mark). At the meeting, Mark moved to discontinue all conversation about this alleged conflict. Of course it’s improper for Mark to make that motion. Now, the Board is trying to cover that up – the draft minutes from that meeting fail to state who made the motion. The minutes also fail to state that one Board member (Tiffany Parcher) recused, and thus falsely imply that the motion carried unanimously. All previous meeting minutes from 2025 include the name of the Board member making the motion, and the name of anyone abstaining. This appears to be active collaboration between Board members (President and Secretary) to conceal a policy violation and a conflict of interest.
  • Context: This is not the first time meeting minutes have been used to hide misconduct – see notes below about the December 2024 homeowners meeting (Mark attempted to alter minutes to cover up his use of profanity) and the false statements at the February 2025 Board meeting (including the Board’s refusal to include a correction in the April 2025 minutes).
  • Documentation: October 2025 Draft Meeting Mintues (source), see "Updates", "Alternative Dispute Resolution Meeting Follow-Up".
• Failure to Disclose Action to Hold ADR Meeting (CO Rev Stat § 38-33.3-317 (2022), CO Rev Stat § 38-33.3-308 (2024))
  • Summary: The Board (minus Mark) held an ADR meeting 2/1/2026 to discuss Mark's personal conflict with his actions taken in 2025. The Board failed to disclose this decision at the Feburary 2026 Board Meeting.
  • Context: The Board also failed to disclose denying the ADR at the August 2025 meeting.
• Board President Makes Motion to Squash Discussion of His Own Conflict of Interest (AB Conflict of Interest 7(A), (F), (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.)
  • Documentation: 10/20 Board Meeting Agenda item 3 (source) . 12/5/25 - Attorney Letter
• 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 a 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)
• 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. The Board agreed to a Zoom 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), 12/5/25 - Attorney Letter. The Board agreed to the ADR Meeting in response to the December attorney letter, meeting held 2/1/26.
• 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. Daniel requested that the Board retract or correct this statement, but they have refused.
  • Context: At the April 29, 2025 Board meeting, Mark stated (verbally) that the Board had no evidence or data that one-night rentals are correlated with rule violations. This statement was not included in the draft minutes for that meeting. At the August 4, 2025 Board meeting, Tiffany Parcher moved to amend the minutes to include Mark’s statement. No Board member seconded the motion, so the motion failed.
  • 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, 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.
• 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 is just not acceptable decorum.
  • Context: This follows the 2024 Homeowners Meeting where the '25 Board President even used profanity against another homeowner (see next event).
  • 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.
• Board President (then a candidate) using Profanity at Meeting to interrupt Homeowner (AB Conduct of Meetings 1(b)(1)(I))
  • Summary: During the 12/10/24 Homeowner's Meeting, Mark Werder (then a candidate for the 2025 Board), interrupted a homeowner who was speaking during the homeowner forum. Mark yelled profanity and needed to be muted. Profanity and cursing during a meeting are prohibited, which Mark himself has made a point of noting at the start of many meetings.
  • Documentation: 12/10/24 Homeowner's Meeting Minutes Page 4. This copy of the meeting minutes, having been approved by the 2024 board, was further approved by homeowners 12/8/2025.
  • Cover Up: At the December 2025 homeowners meeting, Mark attempted to strike his own profanity from the minutes. Another Board member (Tiffany Parcher) moved to approve the minutes as drafted (including the profanity) and the motion was seconded by Terri Elliot and carried unanimously.
