AGREEMENT

1. Title to the Property. The District has delivered concurrently herewith a warranty deed to the Lakes property identical in form to Exhibit “B” attached hereto and as described in Exhibit “A” for recording in the offices of the Summit County Recorder, reserving to the District, however, all water rights, including water rights associated with the Lakes, any water system infrastructure of the District, and any easements as defined therein related to the water system of the District.

2009, October 20 -“MA Minutes Item 5.c. Lakes Acquisition Affidavit: Robyn has finished this and turned it over to Bill Noland. Item Closed.”

Bailey’s affidavit states that Sands in early 2004 required all the Homeowners Association board presidents to sign a lake agreement approving acquisition by the Master Association of the “lakes” properties from Mountain Regional for recreational use by Master Association members before he signed the Lake Conveyance Agreement with Mountain Regional Water.  The problem is that no one can find a copy of the SSMA board’s 2004 Lakes Conveyance and Water Supply Agreement Exhibit C  lakes pre-agreement said to be signed by all the Master Association board members.  Bailey lists the board members on the affidavit.  We contacted these board members to ascertain if any of them had a copy or remembered signing such a letter, a letter that has never before, during six years, been mentioned by anyone on any recorded Minutes, etc.  Three of the named board members responded that they never heard of such a letter and certainly never signed it.  Rick Hovey was angry to learn of this document and said there better not be anyone out there signing his name on this and any other document without his knowledge.

Board Members have stated that  Robyn did not notify all the member subdivisions to attend the 2004 meeting when this Agreement was purportedly to be discussed and that not all the member subdivision boards were represented (no quorum?).  Anthony Sands stated at this time and again on February 9, 2010 that if he had known that all the individual subdivisions were not in support or agreement of this conveyance that he would never have signed it.  A copy of this affidavit was requested from Noland but he has never responded. The copy linked above was provided by another party.

[3/20/2010]    …If you read Bailey’s Affidavit literally, you will note that she swears and affirms….”obtain the signatures” etc.  The sentence is missing  key words, it does not say whether she was asked to obtain, was going to obtain, would have liked to obtain, it was discussed that she obtain the signatures. It is wide open.  After making a request of the stated signers to confirm they signed the affidavit, those that responded denied they ever signed either document.  Some folks think this affidavit was too little too late.  A 2009 ploy to cover-up another 2004 Master Association board power grab without Homeowner approval?
