SAFETY HAZARD: Do Not Use the Hot Tub

Dear Boulders Homeowners,
 
The hot tub is a SAFETY HAZARD. Please DO NOT use it until further notice.
 
It has been brought to my attention that people are using the hot tub despite several posted signs saying that it is closed. It has been vandalized twice over the past few days, as someone has been smashing the jets. In one case this has left a hole large enough that a child’s arm could get caught in it, causing serious harm.
 
Please let your your family, friends and renters know that they must NOT use the hot tub.
 
Due to unavailability of replacement parts we do not yet have an estimate of when the hot tub can be repaired. The signs will be removed when it is once again safe to use.
 
Thanks for your cooperation.

Correction CC&R and Bylaws Vote

Dear Homeowners,
 
At our last Board meeting on May 18 we went forward with the counting of ballots to determine if owners are in agreement with the proposed revisions to the CC&Rs and Bylaws. At that meeting it was represented by our Inspector of Elections that both had passed. 
 
Unfortunately, this was an error. Passage of the Bylaws required a 50% yes vote, and these did pass.  However, the CC&Rs required passage of 67% of the owners, or 134 yes votes. We received 133 yes votes, so the vote to approve the revised CC&Rs did NOT pass.
 
We had 10 votes that were disqualified, so could not be counted. Reasons for disqualification were:
 
– Put more than one ballot in an envelope
– Used the wrong ballot
– Didn’t sign the outer envelope
– Didn’t write the Boulders address on the outer envelope
 
In view of this, our CC&Rs remain exactly the same, with no revisions. In order to understand all of our restrictions, you have to refer to the following documents:  Original CC&Rs dated 2001, two amendments from 2003, and annexation documents for phases 15-19. This is a total of 8 documents.
 
We spent a considerable amount of HOA funds to consolidate the CC&Rs from these 8 documents to one, and make them consistent with current law. Since we fell only one vote short, the board members and CC&R committee will determine whether or not to put this to a vote again. 
 
Regards,

Important Information about Short Term Rental for ALL owners

Dear Boulders Condominium Homeowners,

In the summer of 2021, many concerns were brought forward to the Boulders Board of Directors regarding the impact that short-term rentals (STR’s) had on the community. 

In response to these concerns we formed a committee comprised of six owners (four who rent as STR’s and regularly use their condo, one who is a full time resident, and another who owns but does not rent as an STR and is on the Board) with the goal of looking into the concerns and to find solutions to issues like excess noise, trash, parking, and the use of common amenities.

The following document, Boulders Short Term Rental Best Practices, is the result of a six-month exploration and conversation about the impact of STR’s, how to ameliorate the problems, and support a harmonious community at the Boulders.

In addition, several committee members are available in case STR owners have any questions or need support, advice, or guidance regarding the requests made in the Best Practices document.

Hi Boulders Owners,

Today we are introducing the new Boulders Condominium Association website:

The objective of this site is to provide an Owner information resource and a public face for the Community. Developed for us by our talented owner, Cathy Switzer, the website contains:

– A list of Board and committee members, and an easy link to volunteer for committees
– Contact information for CAMCO
– Our governing documents
– Board meeting minutes and agendas
– General news
– A “Frequently Asked Questions” (FAQ) section that will help owners find answers to common questions. This section also allows owners to offer content, formatting, and design suggestions to our webmaster.
– Easy access to community resources

In order to access the protected Homeowner section you will need the following password: myhoa123.  This part of the site is intended only for Owners, so the password should not be shared with lessees or tenants.
