BAD ACCOUNTING: Who’s Getting Paid With Our Dues — and Why?

Key Facts:

• Since 2023, the POHOA Board has paid Jennifer Hutchinson $500/month to manage QuickBooks for the HOA.
• This was done without a contract, without competitive bids, and without public discussion.
• Hutchinson was also serving on the Board at the time — and the Board voted to approve her paid role, after signing a Conflict of Interest policy. It doesn’t make the conflict of interest disappear, it just condones it.
• In July 2025, the Board transferred her role to former Board officer Keith Knight, again with no bid, no volunteer call, and no contract disclosure.
• Homeowners were explicitly told in 2023 and 2024 that no contract existed — yet in July 2025, it was suddenly referred to as a “contract” reassigned via Action Without a Meeting (AWAM).

No competitive process. No written contract. No records made available.
Just a small circle of Board members appointing each other and controlling the money.

Meanwhile, in 2024, a homeowner contacted 38 licensed QuickBooks professionals, and found multiple candidates offering to do the exact same work for 30–40% less — some as low as $320/month.

Those options were ignored. Homeowners were told they weren’t “authorized” to seek quotes.

🚨 What This Means

This isn’t just bad judgment. It violates:

• C.R.S. §38-33.3-317: Contracts must be available to owners.
• C.R.S. §38-33.3-209.4: Owners must be allowed to participate in major financial decisions.
• C.R.S. §38-33.3-308: Board votes and AWAMs must be disclosed.
• POHOA’s own Conflict of Interest policy.

At a time when the Board is pushing special assessments and citing a “lack of reserves,” they’re:

• Overpaying for services
• Blocking oversight
• Reassigning contracts in secret
• Appointing friends and family to the Board

🛠 Call to Action:

We demand:

1. Full disclosure of the bookkeeping “contract” and all payments
2. A freeze on further payments until outside bids are reviewed
3. An audit of all HOA spending since 2021
4. A homeowner-led recall if the Board continues to obstruct transparency
