I am writing to get the word out to Woodmen Hills Metro District (WHMD) residents that the recent letter/e-mail to the WHMD community about discontinuation of funding for covenant enforcement was not very descriptive about the WHMD board’s intent with respect to covenant enforcement. Also, their Sept. 16 meeting agenda was not very informative about the intended discussion regarding the district’s plans for future covenant enforcement.At the Sept. 16 board meeting there was a lengthy discussion of how the board plans to resurrect covenant enforcement. The board does not intend to let the issue of enforcement drop. So, if you do not want the board to set in motion plans that might possibly/probably cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars in the long run to hire an attorney and to amend the various covenant filings and the service plan (not to mention more litigation expenses caused by this); WE MUST START ATTENDING THESE BOARD MEETINGS to be sure that ALL of our interests are represented. Only one person was at the board meeting who was against further covenant enforcement by WHMD, but there were several speaking up in favor of covenant enforcement.We all currently have an individual right to enforce our own filing’s covenants. This is not as complicated as it seems. I’ve done it before in a previous neighborhood in Colorado Springs, and all it took was one demand letter to the owner (it was a rental property) to resolve the issue. Those of you who believe you can work with your neighbors who are offending the covenants to a degree that is unacceptable to you need to speak up and let the WHMD board know that you do not want the board spending thousands of dollars to pursue this matter.Kelly Jo Salling-DaviesPeyton, CO
