He explained that the meeting was more of a formality. The newest board member, Christopher Harff, had to be reappointed to his position due to the nature of the special district election cycle.<\/p>\n
The only other items the board took action on included approving previous meeting minutes and allowing Badger to work with counsel to develop a policy related to fees on combined homesites.<\/p>\n
For Granby Ranch homeowners like Natascha O\u2019Flaherty, not allowing public comment meant she did not get clarity on the board\u2019s actions. In an email she sent the Headwaters board after the meeting, she asked for some explanations about why Headwaters was considering the policy on combined homesites.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are the lots to be combined on the (Headwaters) agenda?\u201d O\u2019Flaherty said. \u201cThese lots are not in the (Headwaters) district \u2026 It would not appear to be within your jurisdiction or purview.\u201d<\/p>\n
During the meeting a few participants used the \u201craise hand\u201d function on Zoom, and others sent Badger emails attempting to get their comments heard. O\u2019Flaherty went on to condemn the board for not allowing public comments.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a public municipal body, while you are not required to have unscheduled public comment, it certainly would be a good practice,\u201d O\u2019Flaherty said. \u201cI get that the (Headwaters) board has and is controlled by the developer. However, to not take public comment shows that this entity is a mere tool of the developer and a farce.\u201d<\/p>\n
John Altomari, another Granby Ranch homeowner, said his biggest concerns are the potential conflicts of interest for Badger and Dustin Lombard, another Headwaters board member.<\/p>\n
Both men are employed by Granby Ranch Amenities and Granby Realty Holdings, the current management and real estate arms of Granby Ranch. Lombard is also married to Melissa Cipriani, CEO of Granby Ranch and daughter of Granby Ranch\u2019s manager, Marise Cipriani. Altomari expressed his concern that these relationships could influence negotiations with the new management group.<\/p>\n
Altomari\u2019s other concern was for the summer season of Granby Ranch, which Granby Ranch Amenities is contractually obligated to provide until the management transition goes through. While Marise Cipriani has previously asserted that golf course maintenance was underway, Altomari said he has not seen any work on the course.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Flaherty also outlined her concerns about the golf course, and how her written request for the board packet did not receive a response. Her email went onto request that a Granby Ranch homeowner be added to the board as outlined in a 2018 settlement agreement with Headwaters.<\/p>\n
Badger did provide a brief update on Granby Ranch operations, saying the new management group intends to send a draft agreement to Headwaters within the week. He added that Granby Ranch\u2019s current management would be giving an update on their operational plan as well.<\/p>\n
The next regular meeting for the district is scheduled for May 20 and Badger said the board hopes to have more of any update on operations and the management agreement.<\/p>\n
