Comply with Recent Colorado Legislation

  
  • Senate Bill 06-89, excerpt
    "SECTION 5. 38-33.3-124 (1), Colorado Revised Statutes, is amended to read:38-33.3-124. Legislative declaration - alternative dispute resolution encouraged - policy statement required.

    (1)

    (a) The general assembly finds and declares that the cost, complexity, and delay inherent in court proceedings make litigation a particularly inefficient means of resolving neighborhood disputes. Therefore, common interest communities are encouraged to adopt protocols that make use of mediation or arbitration as alternatives to, or preconditions upon, the filing of a complaint between a unit owner and association in situations that do not involve an imminent threat to the peace, health, or safety of the community.

    (b) On or before January 1, 2007, each association shall adopt a written policy setting forth its procedure for addressing disputes arising between the association and unit owners. The association shall make a copy of this policy available to unit owners upon request."

Several of CoMA’s attorney and non-attorney Panel Members have been active in their own HOA’s and have worked toward balancing individual & community needs. Serving as past & present Board and Architectural Control Committees, many of our professional mediators and arbitrators have personally lived out the challenge of balancing multiple needs and interests, and are equipped to bring closure to Common Interest Community & HOA disputes.
