Special Meeting Evidence Packet

 

The most compelling reason for an HOA board of directors in Washington State is Legal Expertise and Compliance: HOAs must comply with a complex blend of federal, state (such as the Washington RCW 64.38 Homeowners' Associations Act), and local laws, in addition to their own governing documents (bylaws, CC&Rs).

A management company should have specialized knowledge to ensure the association remains compliant, helping to avoid costly legal issues or lawsuits that could arise from inexperience or oversight.

It's not the breach - it's the denial.

The worse part is not the breach, but the denial.  Despite the overwhelming evidence, Blue Mountain claims the company has done nothing wrong.  Or that it only follows instructions from the bosrf.

Unilateral Contract modification - Collections process 

Contract unilaterally altered by Board Resolution 

Para. 3.3 Contract

Board resolution

A very long discussion to have Blue Mountain agree they were not following the contract but a Board Resolution which unilaterally modified the contract: Blue Mountain never agreed to having erred in the process 

Conflict of Interest

The Associa-to-Associa loop has not been fully revealed.  When asked,  Blue Mountain produced Exhibit B, claiming the Exhibit B is part of the contract 

Repeated requedts to show where Exhibit B is mentioned in the contract have been unanswered.

Blue Mountain Construction Coordinator 

(Associa-to-Associa loop)  refuses to abide by the contract:  The HOA legally owns all the bids and sets performance and quality standardd

TownSq 

The relationship between 
Blue Mountain Community Management (an Associa company) and TownSq is a direct business partnership that may present a conflict of interest if not transparently disclosed to the HOAs they manage. 


The Associa-TownSq Relationship
• Direct Partnership: Associa officially partnered with TownSq in 2017 to launch the platform across its communities, including those in Washington.
• Internal Integration: Associa markets TownSq as its "innovative all-in-one platform". While TownSq is owned by HOAM Ventures as of 2022, Associa remains its primary North American partner and integrates it deeply into its management services. 

Potential Conflict of Interest
Whether this constitutes a legal or ethical "conflict of interest" typically depends on disclosure and contractual obligations:
• Financial Incentive: If Blue Mountain or Associa receives financial benefits (referral fees, reduced licensing costs, or equity-related gains) from HOA subscriptions to TownSq, a conflict exists because their recommendation may be motivated by profit rather than the community's best interest.
• Discouraging Alternatives: Discouraging "blast mail" (which you noted as more engaging) in favor of a proprietary or partnered app can be seen as self-serving if it limits the board's ability to reach residents effectively.
• Washington State Law: Under RCW 30B.24.020, fiduciaries must provide "reasonable disclosure" of conflicts that could have a "material adverse impact" on their judgment. 

Censorship

CPA Status incorrect 

Repeated calls to collect the record ignored

Blue Mountain Executives will censorship the BOD if they criticize Blue Mountain 

Blue Mountain as enabler

Blue Mountain enabling Selective parking violations in public steets and wasting attorney's fees by asking for a legal opinion as to whether the Association can issue citations to homeowners for illegal parked cars NOT owned by homeowners. 

 

Miscellaneous

A reputation in the industry for late payment can result in inflated bids and discourages  smaller contractors who cannot carry the debt.
