FACT
The 2025 BHRA Board has knowingly and intentionally violated the rights of the community. Under the leadership of Justin Wilson, The board: Justin Wilson (Pres.), Richard Evans (VP), Britney Woods (Treasurer), Sanjee Karki** (Secretary) Allen Heese (Alternate), and Donna Braun (Alternate). Eight members of the community requested a special meeting (following the procedure explained in the bylaws) to answer multiple specific questions regarding the idea of relocating the existing gate from the entrance to the Buckskin heights subdivision. The BHRA board, under the administrative leadership of Justin Wilson, President, has intentionally delayed and ignored the request, exceeded his authority by personally questioning the petitioners on why they want a special meeting, stated, without proof, that 1 petitioner has "changed their mind, and invalidated the request. On 5/12/2025, 8 members of the community resubmitted their request for a special meeting, this request has been repeatedly ignored, with the board not responding to the petitioners in any way until 5/22/2025.Responding on Groups io that the BHRA BOARD will be holding there own special meeting via zoom, not in accordance with the bylaws, to "discuss the possibility of replacing and relocating our communitie's gate". We, you, the membership of the Buckskin Heights Sub Division, need to stand up to this board, who has decided that they no longer have to respect and follow our bylaws, who have decided that they have the right to ignore a legally requested special meeting, THEY, the BHRA Board, state they will be having a special meeting but did not include any of the questions that the original petitioners wanted answered. ( Link to Groups IO list of questions)
Realize that the 2025 BHRA Board, feels they can violate thier mandate to uphold our bylaws, that they can ignore lawfully requested meetings and deny the membership due process.
Beginning in June there will be a special section on- https://groups.io/g/Buckskinheightsheraldopenforum in the chats area as well as this website showing all communication, violations of duties of office and next actions that the petitioners will be initiating.
** Mr. Karki is the only board member that is publically in favor of the memberships requested special meeting.

Up until the onset of covid, all board meetings were open to any property owner for in-person attendance. With the health concerns posed by covid, the community accepted an alternative to "in-person" meetings by using internet based communications, in our case using a software called Zoom. No where in the By Laws does it state that B.H.R.A. meetings are by Zoom only, yet at all general board meetings in 2024, the only announced way of participating in a meeting has been by Zoom, with no physical location. Although, members of our community who are privy to the location have attended in person, the location is not given to the general membership.
While convenient, there are many draw backs to Zoom meetings (easily verified online) :
Response: if the host of the meeting isn't paying attention or doesn't want rebuttals zoom users can go unnoticed when trying to speak or cut short.
Stable bandwidth: is crucial for practical platform usage, posing challenges for users with slow connections.
Prolonged videoconferencing: can lead to fatigue and reduced productivity
Occasional technical difficulties: leading to choppy video or audio and intermittent conference connection issues
Screen sharing: Zoom is limited to a single item, such as an open file, document, or website.
Shouldn't ALL community members have the option of presenting arguements and ideas in person as well as joining through a remote option?

It seems that, for an unknown time period, the Board of Directors has been creating a "Policies and Procedures" manual on how we do things up in Buckskin Heights. We are a small community of under 50 property owners, who have lived successfully by following a simple guideline called the Buckskin Heights By Laws. The Buckskin Heights Road Association board was created as a non profit , to follow a simple purpose," The purpose for which the non-profit Association is formed is to promote the health, civic and general welfare of its members and in pursuance thereto to construct and operate roads, and such objects as are appropriate in the conduct of its activities, in the County of Larimer and State of Colorado, for the use of its members, their families and others as are approved by the Board." This simple but direct set of "Rules and Procedure's" have worked since 1974, with a very few modifications. Now the board is using a set of Policies and Procedure's, seemingly with the same powers as the By Laws, to modify, control and change the the intent, written in the By Laws, that have not been created, reviewed or approved by the residents of our community. Any changes to the By Laws have to be approved by the membership and VOTED ON, but why not Policies and Procedures. When do we create a definition of what limitations are set, defining what is meant by " health, civic and general welfare of its members really means? The B.H.R.A.'s principal and primary purpose is to MAINTAIN to roads in and accessing our neighborhood, not covertly creating a set of rules that the membership has had little to no input in nor has it been officially voted on. Do you want to live in a simple, functional, mountain community or do you want to have everything controlled, much like an H.O.A.?
