Governance FAQs

 

“If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the law and the facts are against you, pound the table and yell like hell.” 

 

― Carl Sandburg

​

Can a board member be removed?

 

Yes. There are two ways. A majority vote of the owners can remove a board member for any reason. (Article IV Board of Managers Selection Term of Office, Section 3).

 

The board may remove an owner for cause. For cause reasons included two consecutive unexcused absences (Article VIII Powers and Duties of Board of Managers, Section 1d)  or not being in good standing (Code of Conduct for the Board of Managers).  Good standing is defined as no more than 30 days behind on assessments, special assessments, USAF, and water bills, and not in violation of the covenants, bylaws, regulations/rules.

​

Are Redhill RVs excluded from Park County rules?

 

No. In 2018, a Memorandum of Understanding on RV storage between Redhill Forest and Park County was considered. The MOU was invalidated, and the county provided a detailed explanation to Redhill Forest. Click here to read Park County’s explanation letter.

 

What bylaws does the association operate under?

 

The 1982 bylaws. When Redhill Forest was first subdivided in 1977, it operated under the developer's control. As control changed to the owners, the 1982 bylaws went into effect. Click here to see all the underlying documentation (43 Pages). 

 

What’s the difference between Bylaws and Rules and Regulations?

 

The bylaws are the underlying rules governing the association, such as the number of board members, terms, and elections. Although bylaw changes are rare, they are proposed by the board to the membership and require a majority vote to be ratified.

 

The board approves rules and regulations. They must be submitted to owners before approval at a public board meeting. Good examples would be the architectural guidelines and fishing rules.
